ROUNDUP
at New York 8, Tampa Bay 4: Robinson Cano drove in five runs in the Yankees’ fifth straight victory. Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to 22 games, the longest run by a Yankees player since current batting coach Don Mattingly had a 24-game string in 1986.
at Baltimore 4, Boston 0: Erik Bedard (14-9) pitched seven innings of two-hit ball to help the Orioles spoil the return of knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (7-9), who hadn’t pitched since July 17 because of a stress fracture in his rib cage.
Kansas City 6, at Cleveland 2: Jorge De La Rosa (3-2) pitched five solid innings and Emil Brown homered to help the Royals gain their first road series sweep since July 2003.
Toronto 10, at Seattle 0: Gregg Zaun hit a grand slam during a nine-run fourth inning and also had a solo home run, leading A.J. Burnett (8-7) and the Blue Jays to the victory.
