Boston 6, at New York 4: Mike Lowell hit a go-ahead, three-run homer two innings after Kevin Youkilis’ drive squirted out of Johnny Damon’s glove, bounced off the top of the left-field wall three times, and sat on the fence for several seconds. The ball rolled back to the field for a tying, two-run triple. “It was bizarre,” Lowell said. “I’ve been playing awhile. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

at Seattle 4, Detroit 1: Raul Ibanez hit a solo home run off the windows of a restaurant in right field to break a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning. Jose Lopez hit a two-run double in the eighth to help the Mariners win for the eighth time in 11 games. Ibanez jumped on a 3-and-2 fastball from Kenny Rogers and hit it for only his second home run since June 1.

at Minnesota 12, Cleveland 3: Delmon Young hit a three-run home run and had a season-high four RBIs, Nick Punto homered and also had four RBIs, and the surging Twins won for the 14th time in 16 games. Paul Byrd hung a breaking ball to Young in the third inning and he lined it over the left-field wall to give the Twins a 5-2 lead. “It’s nice to see different guys contribute,” Punto said. “Tonight it was me and Delmon. That’s the key to this team winning.”

Oakland 7, at Chicago 1: White Sox starter Mark Buehrle entered the game 4-0 with a 1.15 earned-run average in his last five starts, lasting at least seven innings in each outing, but he yielded four runs and 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings. Emil Brown, Jack Cust and Wes Bankston -- the A’s four, five, and six hitters -- combined to go eight for 15 with four runs and three RBIs.

at Baltimore 10, Texas 4: The Orioles roughed up 10-game winner Vicente Padilla, taking an 8-1 lead in the third inning. Padilla yielded a career-high tying eight runs and nine hits in 2 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.

at Tampa Bay 11, Kansas City 2: Former Dodger Edwin Jackson (5-6) took a two-hitter into the eighth inning. He matched his win total for last season, limiting the Royals to David DeJesus’ first-inning single and Mark Grudzielanek’s solo homer in the seventh before giving up two singles and an unearned run in the eighth.

at Angels 8, Toronto 2: The Angels had played 18 consecutive games against the Blue Jays without scoring more than four runs before building a 5-0 lead through six innings.
