The Spokesman-Review

Yankees 10, Orioles 7: At New York, Alex Rodriguez hit a two-out grand slam off Chris Ray in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift New York past Baltimore. A-Rod’s grand slam was his second home run of the game.

Blue Jays 8, Devil Rays 5: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Frank Thomas hit career home run No. 488, a majestic 453-foot grand slam off Casey Fossum, to help Toronto beat Tampa Bay. Vernon Wells, Troy Glaus and Reed Johnson also drove in runs for the Blue Jays.

Tigers 6, Royals 5: At Kansas City, Mo., Gary Sheffield hit his first home run for his new team to help Detroit to a victory over Kansas City. Mike Maroth picked up the victory, allowing four runs and six hits in five innings.

White Sox 3, Twins 0: At Chicago, Javier Vazquez allowed one hit in 6 2/3 scoreless innings and four relievers completed the frosty three-hitter to help Chicago beat Minnesota. Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth for his first save of the season in as many attempts.

Angels 2, Athletics 1: At Anaheim, Calif., John Lackey earned his second victory with the help of some shoddy Oakland baserunning, and Los Angeles beat Oakland for its fifth win in six games. Vladimir Guerrero drove in his major league-leading 10th run for the Angels, who are off to their best start since 1991 when they also won five of their first six.

Rangers 8, Red Sox 4: At Arlington, Texas, Sammy Sosa hit his first home run since 2005 in Texas’ victory over Boston. Kevin Millwood threw 50 pitches in the first two innings but allowed just three runs and eight hits to get the win.
