Monday’s results
Twins 10, White Sox 4: At Minneapolis, the Twins rallied after manager Ron Gardenhire hollered at all four umpires after A.J. Pierzynski appeared to spike first baseman Justin Morneau, turning a one-run deficit into a big win. Nick Punto, Torii Hunter and Jason Tyner each had three hits and Mike Redmond drove in three runs for Minnesota.
Orioles 9, Royals 1: At Kansas City, Mo., Ramon Hernandez hit his fifth career grand slam and Steve Trachsel pitched a five-hitter to win his third straight start, leading Baltimore to victory over the Royals, extending Kansas City’s losing streak to five games.
Devil Rays 6, Tigers 5: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Elijah Dukes singled with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to drive in two runs and Tampa Bay rallied for a victory over Detroit.
Blue Jays 7, Yankees 2: At Toronto, Dustin McGowan won for the first time in more than a year and Lyle Overbay hit a go-ahead home run as the Blue Jays beat New York. The Yankees had just five hits – two were infield singles – and were shut out until Hideki Matsui’s long, two-run homer in the eighth.
Red Sox 5, Indians 3: At Boston, Curt Schilling struck out 10 to rebound from his worst start of the season, and Kevin Youkilis hit a stand-up, inside-the-park homer to help the Red Sox to a victory over Cleveland.
