RESULTS

Oakland 6, at Seattle 2: Nick Swisher hit two home runs to back Dan Haren and the Athletics extended the Mariners’ losing streak to a season-high seven games. Swisher’s second homer broke open a 3-2 game in the ninth off George Sherrill, after Chris Reitsma had walked consecutive batters. Earlier, Mark Ellis and Swisher each hit their 12th homers off Jeff Weaver (2-9), who lost his third consecutive start despite giving up only three runs in 7 1/3 innings. It was the eighth multiple-homer game for Swisher.

at Chicago 4, Detroit 3: Scott Podsednik scored from first base on pitcher Zach Miner’s throwing error in the ninth inning and the White Sox took three of five in the series against the defending American League champions. Chicago had not won a home series since winning two of three against Oakland from May 21-23.

Boston 14, at Cleveland 9: Manny Ramirez hit the third-longest home run at Jacobs Field, a tree-clearing solo shot, and added a two-run homer as the Red Sox outslugged the Indians. Ramirez’s tape-measure homer in the second inning off Cliff Lee (5-8), conservatively estimated at 481 feet, set the tone for the Red Sox, who won three of the four games in the series.

at Baltimore 10, Tampa Bay 7: Brian Roberts hit a three-run homer and walked three times, helping the Orioles win their fourth in a row and improve to 18-13 under interim Manager Dave Trembley. Tampa Bay starter Edwin Jackson (2-10) gave up six runs, seven hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings.

at Kansas City 7, New York 0: New York, which lost for only the third time in 14 games, dropped 7 1/2 games back of AL East-leading Boston but remained 4 1/2 games behind Cleveland, the AL wild-card leader. And after getting 84 hits in their five previous games, the Yankees were held to six.
