ROUNDUP

at Seattle 6, New York 5: Adrian Beltre homered twice, including a ninth-inning drive off Ron Villone that gave the Mariners the victory and halted their 11-game losing streak. Beltre lined an opposite-field drive over the right-field fence. New York had two on with two outs in the ninth, but Julio Mateo (9-4) struck out Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees’ lead in the American League East remained a season-high 6 1/2 games over second-place Boston.

at Baltimore 6, Minnesota 3: Rookie Nick Markakis homered in his first three at-bats to ignite the Orioles. Markakis homered in the first, third and fifth innings off Carlos Silva (8-11).

Markakis was left standing in the on-deck circle at the conclusion of the Baltimore eighth.

at Kansas City 5, Cleveland 2: Mark Teahen had four hits, including a home run and two doubles, and scored the go-ahead run on catcher Victor Martinez’s throwing error. Odalis Perez (1-1) gave up two runs and seven hits in seven innings for his first victory as a starter since April 21.
