Cleveland 3, at New York 0: Cliff Lee threw seven sharp innings and beat Chien-Ming Wang in a matchup of unbeaten starters. Lee (6-0) became the first Indians pitcher to win his first six starts since Greg Swindell in 1988 and lowered his major league-best earned-run average to 0.84. He has not walked a batter in 28 innings.

at Oakland 6, Baltimore 5 (10 innings): Mark Ellis broke out of his offensive funk in a big way, hitting the first game-ending home run of his career with two out in the 10th inning. Ellis connected on a 1-and-0 pitch from loser Lance Cormier (0-1), a solo shot that hit the left-field foul pole. Ellis, hitless in 17 at-bats, ended his slump with a two-out single with two out in the sixth.

at Toronto 6, Tampa Bay 2: Shaun Marcum came one out from a shutout and Scott Rolen hit a two-run homer. Marcum (4-2) struck out nine, giving up two runs in 8 2/3 innings. He won back-to-back starts for the first time this season and lowered his earned-run to 2.59.
