RESULTS

at Boston 12, Baltimore 1: Kevin Youkilis had a career-high six RBIs, thanks to his first grand slam, and Tim Wakefield pitched seven innings of two-hit ball. “I was the beneficiary of a lot of runs scored tonight,” said Wakefield, who retired the last 13 batters he faced. “So that made my job a lot easier after the third inning.”

New York 9, at Toronto 4: Alex Rodriguez hit his 192nd home run with the Yankees, tying Tino Martinez for 15th place on the franchise list. He has 47 homers against the Blue Jays, his second-highest total against any opponent. He has hit 58 homers against the Angels.

at Cleveland 8, Tampa Bay 4: Ryan Garko drove in five runs to help Matt Ginter earn his first major league win in more than four years. It was Ginter’s first major league start since Sept. 18, 2005, for Detroit. He last won with the New York Mets on May 21, 2004.

at Kansas City 5, Seattle 4: David DeJesus hit a two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning. Mariners closer Brandon Morrow retired the first two batters before walking pinch-hitter Billy Butler on four pitches.
