ROUNDUP

at Boston 11, Baltimore 9: Mike Lowell hit a grand slam in the first inning and made a game-saving play for the final out to help the Red Sox complete the three-game sweep. Jonathan Papelbon got his 31st save in 36 chances, thanks to Lowell, who backhanded Melvin Mora’s sharp grounder down the third base line and threw him out with the bases loaded. The Red Sox are 11-1 this season against Baltimore. Jon Lester (6-2) gave up four runs in five innings and won for the first time in five starts. The Red Sox are one game behind in the AL East to the Yankees, who visit this week for a five-game series, starting with a doubleheader Friday.

at Texas 10, Seattle 6: Michael Young hit a tiebreaking two-run triple, Gary Matthews Jr. drove in three runs and the Rangers completed a four-game sweep at Arlington. Carlos Lee also drove in three runs for Texas, which got its fifth consecutive victory and has scored 51 runs during its winning streak. Seattle has lost 13 consecutive games to teams in the AL West.

at Cleveland 13, Kansas City 0: Travis Hafner hit his sixth grand slam in the Indians’ 11-run first inning to tie Don Mattingly’s single-season record. Hafner put Cleveland ahead 11-0 with his 35th homer of the season and tied Mattingly’s mark set with the New York Yankees in 1987.

at Minnesota 5, Toronto 0: Brad Radke pitched seven innings and Jason Tyner had three hits and two runs batted in at Minneapolis to help the Twins end a three-game losing streak. Michael Cuddyer also hit his 17th homer for the Twins, who had lost five consecutive games at home.

at Oakland 3, Tampa Bay 1: Eric Chavez hit his first homer in nearly a month, a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the Athletics to the three-game sweep. Esteban Loaiza (6-7) pitched eight strong innings as the A’s won for the ninth time in 10 games. Tampa Bay has lost six in a row.
