RESULTS

* at Toronto 1, Seattle 0: Josh Towers outpitched Jeff Weaver, and Aaron Hill hit an RBI single in the second inning. Three Blue Jays relievers combined for 2 1/3 perfect innings to complete the three-hitter. The game took only 2 hours 6 minutes. Weaver was the hard-luck loser, yielding four hits over seven innings. He hasn’t won since beating Boston on June 25, a span of four starts.

* at New York 7-17, Tampa Bay 3-5: Alex Rodriguez hit career homer No. 497 and drove in four runs, helping the Yankees complete a sweep of a day-night doubleheader. In the opener, Shelley Duncan’s first major league homer capped a five-run sixth inning. Johnny Damon also drove in four runs in the nightcap and made two great catches in left field.

* at Detroit 10, Kansas City 8 (10 innings): Brandon Inge’s two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th won it. Sean Casey singled with one out before Inge lined the first pitch he saw from reliever Joakim Soria over the left-field fence.

* at Texas 8, Cleveland 5: Marlon Byrd keyed a five-run first inning with a two-run double and matched his career high with five RBIs. His three-run triple in the seventh extended a one-run lead to 8-4.

* at Oakland 4, Baltimore 3: After yielding a pair of first-inning runs, Dan Haren retired 17 of the next 20 batters. He gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings as his league-leading earned-run average increased to 2.41.

* at Boston 11, Chicago 2: The game was in doubt until the Red Sox put together their biggest inning of the season by scoring seven runs in the seventh.

* at Minnesota 5, Angels 2: Scot Shields gave up three runs and three hits in the eighth inning.
