AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP : Boston, New York Win One

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox each scored only one run Thursday, but that was all they needed to gain a victory as the teams completed a suspended game from Wednesday night and played their regularly scheduled contest at New York.

Tom Brunansky hit a home run, and Joe Hesketh (7-5)--with help from three relievers--held the Yankees to four hits to give the Red Sox a 1-0 victory in the second game.

“Most of the day, I was keeping the ball down,” Hesketh said. “I was getting the majority of the guys I got out today out with sliders.”

Earlier in the day, the Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 4-3, in 11 innings to complete a game suspended by rain in the eighth inning Wednesday.

Bernie Williams led off the 11th with a single and scored on a double by Mike Gallego to make a winner of Bob Wickman (5-3). Mike Stanley led the way with two homers for the Yankees.

Cleveland 7-5, Baltimore 2-2--Eddie Murray homered twice and Tony Pena hit a solo home run at Baltimore, as the Indians completed their first doubleheader sweep in more than four years.

In the first game, Albert Belle hit his seventh homer in nine games and Sandy Alomar hit a three-run homer off Mike Mussina (14-5), providing Jack Morris (10-6) with enough runs for the Indians.

In the second game, the Indians took a 2-0 lead against Sid Fernandez (6-6) when Murray homered after Belle’s single. Kenny Lofton’s double and Manny Ramierez’s single made it 3-0 in the sixth.

Milwaukee 5, Toronto 4--Kevin Seitzer singled in the winning run in the ninth inning to lift the Brewers to their first three-game sweep at Toronto since 1987.

Jody Reed led off with a single and Turner Ward walked before Seitzer singled to score Reed. Jesse Orosco (2-1) struck out one of two batters he faced in the eighth and Mike Fetters pitched the ninth for his 14th save.

Kansas City 5, Chicago 3--David Cone struggled at Kansas City, but the Royals completed their first- four-game sweep of Chicago.

Cone (15-4) gave up eight hits and three runs in 7 1/3 innings, with five walks and four strikeouts. The Royals, whose six-game winning streak matches their longest of the 1990s, scored two runs on catcher Mike LaValliere’s error in a four-run second.

Detroit 4, Seattle 2--Mickey Tettleton’s two-run home run in the 11th inning gave the Tigers their first three-game winning streak at Detroit in more than six weeks.

Milt Cuyler started the inning with a single off Bobby Ayala (4-3), the third Seattle pitcher. Tettleton, who had only one run batted in since July 4, then hit his 15th homer.
