Devil Rays 5, Red Sox 1: At Boston, Jonny Gomes homered twice, and Scott Kazmir held Boston to four hits before sixth-inning muscle cramps as Tampa Bay handed knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (four hits, two walks) another tough-luck loss.

Orioles 9, Indians 4: At Baltimore, Erik Bedard remained unbeaten, Miguel Tejada homered and had three RBIs, and Baltimore overcame Cleveland’s 4-3 lead as Javy Lopez, Jeff Conine and Tejada each had two RBIs during a six-run sixth.

Angels 6, Twins 4: At Minneapolis, Jose Molina’s two-out double drove in pinch-runner Maicer Izturis to break an eighth-inning tie and spark Los Angeles past Minnesota. Adam Kennedy followed Molina with an RBI single against Jesse Crain (0-1), after shortstop Nick Punto’s throw home to get Izturis bounced away and allowed Molina to move up.

Tigers 4, Athletics 3: At Oakland, Calif., Curtis Granderson drew a bases-loaded walk that brought home the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and Detroit rallied to beat Oakland. Brandon Inge drew a walk from Justin Duchscherer (1-1) that loaded the bases for Granderson.
