The Spokesman-Review

Blue Jays 5, Rangers 4 (10): At Arlington, Texas, Joe Inglett drove in the tiebreaking run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, B.J. Ryan earned his first save in more than a year and Toronto completed a three-game sweep of the Rangers.

White Sox 11, Tigers 0: At Chicago, Joe Crede and Paul Konerko each hit grand slams to back Javier Vazquez’s strong start, and the red-hot White Sox pounded Detroit. Vazquez won his second straight start, scattering five hits in seven innings while striking out nine without a walk.

Rays 6, Orioles 2: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Jeff Niemann allowed one run over six innings in his major league debut and B.J. Upton hit a three-run homer during a six-run fifth, helping Tampa Bay beat Baltimore.

Royals 5, Twins 1: At Kansas City, Mo., Brian Bannister threw his second career complete game and outpitched Francisco Liriano, who was making his first start since 2006, and the Royals snapped a three-game skid with a victory over Minnesota. Liriano gave up six hits, walked five and struck out four.

Indians 7, Athletics 1: At Cleveland, two-run doubles by Grady Sizemore and David Dellucci in the eighth helped the Indians win for only the third time in 10 games and avoid their first three-game sweep at home to Oakland since September 1989.

Red Sox 8, Yankees 5: At Boston, a wild Daisuke Matsuzaka labored through five innings before the Red Sox’s overworked bullpen bailed him out for a sloppy win over New York. Yankees starter Phil Hughes lasted a career-low two innings and allowed a career-high seven runs.
