San Francisco ? When Eric Byrnes completed the latest remarkable feat in his breakout season with the Oakland Athletics, his parents were among the Giants fans who rose and cheered.

Byrnes hit a ninth-inning triple to become the 16th player in franchise history to hit for the cycle, and Mark Mulder became the majors’ fourth 11-game winner as the A’s beat San Francisco, 5-2, Sunday in the finale of the Bay Bridge Series.

Byrnes, who grew up as a die-hard Giants fan, matched the A’s franchise record with five hits. He singled in the first, doubled in the second and seventh, homered in the fifth — and got a standup triple when rookie Carlos Valderrama fell down while misplaying Byrnes’ sinking liner in center field.

When he reached third base, he got a stirring ovation from the same fans with whom he watched countless Giants games.

“It’s hard to describe the feelings that went through my body,” said Byrnes, who thought about the importance of the series every day this weekend as he drove past Candlestick Park on his way to Pacific Bell Park.

His parents, Jim and Judy, were in attendance Sunday, as were more friends than he could count.

“Half of them are still Giants fans — punks,” Byrnes said with a grin. “Half of them were leading the cheer last night: ‘What’s the matter with Byrnes? He’s a bum!’ I guess this is one way to shut them up.”

Byrnes extended his latest hitting streak to 12 games while becoming the first player to hit for the cycle at Pac Bell — and the first to do it for Oakland since Miguel Tejada Sept. 29, 2001, against Seattle.

With his five hits, he improved his average to .336 — fifth in the AL. He was an Oakland reserve for the past two seasons, but Jermaine Dye’s early season injury problems allowed him to play every day. Now, Byrnes has a shot at making his first All-Star team.

“You can’t say enough about him,” Oakland manager Ken Macha said. “Who knows where we’d be without him? We knew he had this energy about him, but he hadn’t had a chance to play every day. The amount of work he’s put in really prepared him to take over this season.”

Byrnes led off the game with a single and added an RBI double in the second before he homered to center in the fifth against reliever Chad Zerbe. Byrnes’ seventh-inning double into the left-field corner might have been a triple with Barry Bonds in left — but Bonds had the day off, and Pedro Feliz got the ball back to the infield.

But in the ninth, Byrnes’ liner confused Valderrama. The rookie dived and missed it, and Byrnes reached third base easily.

“It’s amazing what he’s been doing,” said Mulder (11-5). “When we started out the season and he was raking, you think, ‘OK, they just don’t know him yet. They’ll figure him out.’ But they still haven’t.”

Cubs 5, White Sox 2

Chicago — Kerry Wood quieted the Chicago White Sox and their rowdy fans, helping the Cubs snap their season-long four-game losing skid.

Moises Alou and Jose Hernandez homered off Esteban Loaiza (11-3) as the Cubs avoided a three-game sweep in the heated crosstown series. The White Sox won the previous two games in their final at-bat.

Wood (8-5) won for the fourth time in five starts after going the entire month of May without a victory. He gave up two runs on four hits in eight innings, pitching out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh for his first win in six career starts against the White Sox.

Expos 10, Blue Jays 2

Toronto — Tomo Ohka pitched a two-hitter, and Ron Calloway drove in four runs as Montreal beat Toronto.

Ohka (7-7) didn’t allow a hit until Carlos Delgado’s RBI double with two outs in the seventh. He struck out four and walked none in his first complete game this season.

Kelvim Escobar (5-5) loaded the bases in the second inning before Calloway hit a two-run single. Jose Vidro added a solo homer for Montreal.

Angels 3, Dodgers 1

Anaheim, Calif. — Aaron Sele scattered four hits over five shutout innings, and Darin Erstad hit a two-run single as Anaheim beat Los Angeles to sweep the Freeway Series.

The slumping Dodgers lost for the sixth time in seven games. They scored just two runs in the three losses at Anaheim.

The Angels, who won the season series 4-2, scored three runs in the second inning off Odalis Perez (5-6).

Sele (4-6) ran his career record against the Dodgers to 5-0 with a 1.00 ERA in five starts. Scot Shields pitched two hitless innings, and Troy Percival gave up a homer to Mike Kinkade in the ninth before finishing for his 16th save in 17 chances and third in a row against Los Angeles.

D’backs 5, Tigers 3 (10)

Detroit — Robby Hammock’s two-run homer in the 10th inning lifted Arizona to a victory over Detroit, extending its franchise-record winning streak to 11 games.

The Tigers (18-61) are the first team in baseball history to lose 60 games before July 1, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball’s statistician. The 1996 Tigers came closest previously, losing their 60th game July 2. That team finished 53-109.

Eddie Oropesa (2-1) got the win with two innings of shutout relief, and Jose Valverde pitched a perfect 10th for his ninth save in nine tries.

Chris Spurling (0-1) took the first loss of his career.

Indians 3, Reds 1

Cleveland — Rookie right-hander Jason Davis pitched 72/3 sharp innings, and Cleveland defeated Cincinnati.

Davis (7-6) was helped by a sensational catch by center fielder Milton Bradley, who robbed Adam Dunn of an extra-base hit in the eighth inning. Danys Baez earned his 18th save.

The Indians took advantage of five walks by Jimmy Haynes (1-7) and two costly Reds errors in the first four innings.

Braves 2, Devil Rays 0

St. Petersburg, Fla. — Russ Ortiz (10-4) pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning, and Andruw Jones broke a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the sixth, leading Atlanta over Tampa Bay.

Jones put the Braves up 1-0 with an RBI single off Jorge Sosa (1-6). Javy Lopez added an RBI single in the ninth.

Phillies 4, Orioles 3

Baltimore — Jose Mesa became Philadelphia’s career saves leader, cementing a victory over Baltimore to cap a three-game sweep.

Jim Thome hit his second homer in two games to help the Phillies to their season-high fifth straight win. Kevin Millwood (9-6) allowed three runs and eight hits in 72/3 innings.

Rangers 8, Astros 5

Houston — Rafael Palmeiro connected for his 509th career home run, and Alex Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking, two-run triple as Texas rallied past Houston.

Palmeiro’s leadoff homer in the seventh tied it at 3, tying him with Sammy Sosa for 17th on the career list. In the eighth, Rodriguez tripled off Octavio Dotel (6-3) over center fielder Craig Biggio’s head.

Rosman Garcia (1-0) pitched a perfect seventh for his first major-league victory. Ugueth Urbina got one out for his 21st save in 25 chances.

Red Sox 11, Marlins 7

Boston — Gabe Kapler had two homers and four RBIs, and Todd Walker also hit two home runs as Boston beat Florida.

Trot Nixon and Jason Varitek added solo shots for the Red Sox, who finished their homestand 6-1. Derek Lowe (9-3) matched a career high by winning his sixth straight decision.

Brad Penny (6-6) gave up nine runs and nine hits in five innings.

Twins 5, Brewers 4 (10)

Minneapolis — Luis Rivas scored from second base on Cristian Guzman’s infield single with two outs in the 10th inning, giving Minnesota a come-from-behind victory over Milwaukee.

Rivas singled with one out off closer Mike DeJean (2-5) and stole second. Guzman then hit a chopper to Richie Sexson and beat the first baseman’s flip to DeJean covering. Rivas slid home safely.

LaTroy Hawkins (5-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the Twins, who moved into a first-place tie with Kansas City in the AL Central.

Minnesota rallied for two runs in the ninth off DeJean.

Padres 8, Mariners 6

Seattle — Rondell White tied it with a one-out grand slam, and pinch-hitter Keith Lockhart hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the ninth inning as San Diego rallied.

Mark Loretta hit four singles for the Padres, who won two of three against the Mariners for the second time in two weeks. White hit a game-winning grand slam off Seattle’s Jeff Nelson June 20.

Rod Beck (1-1) pitched 12/3 innings for the win. Jay Witasick got his second save.

Arthur Rhodes (1-1), who hadn’t allowed a run in 16 innings, failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in the ninth.

Yankees 5, Mets 3

New York — Jason Giambi, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada homered in a rapid-fire third inning, leading Jeff Weaver (4-6) and the New York Yankees over the Mets. The largest crowd of the season at Yankee Stadium — 55,444 — saw the Yankees finish 6-0 against their city rivals. The Yankees tied their longest winning streak of the year at seven and reached the halfway mark at 51-30.

Al Leiter (8-5) gave up three homers in an inning for the first time in his career. They came in a span of only 10 pitches and accounted for the Yankees’ runs.
