Chicago ? Justin Morneau circled the bases twice, and both times apparent home runs by the Minnesota rookie disappeared when umpires huddled and reversed their original calls.

“It’s tough when you get back in the dugout and the call gets changed and you have to run back out there. It’s a little bit of a letdown,” Morneau said.

But what could have been a day of frustration for Morneau and the Twins still ended up as a winning one.

Jacque Jones hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning after Chicago shortstop Jose Valentin dropped his two-out foul pop, giving the Twins a 5-4 win Wednesday and a three-game sweep.

“The ball, for whatever reason, it came out of his glove and I got another chance and made the best of it,” Jones said.

The Twins won for the 10th time in 12 tries and moved 31/2 games ahead of the White Sox in the AL Central.

Terry Mulholland (3-3) earned the win with a scoreless ninth and Joe Nathan closed for his 28th save. Hunter, a Gold Glove winner in center field, made an outstanding diving catch in the gap on a leadoff drive by Timo Perez in the 10th.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected in the fifth after a drive down the right-field line by Morneau was initially signaled a home run by first-base umpire Matt Hollowell and then changed to a foul ball after umpires huddled.

Replays were inconclusive, appearing to show that the ball landed just foul, but it was not clear if it first grazed the foul pole. The call was changed after an initial argument by White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and right fielder Perez.

Gardenhire said he wasn’t as upset by the calls as he was by the explanation on the second one — that it was overturned because the three umpires other than Hollowell saw it foul.

“I agree getting it right. I disagree with somebody telling me all three had it foul. I know for a fact the guy behind the plate had no clue,” Gardenhire said. “That’s why I got so mad.”

Minnesota Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire is ejected by third base umpire Ed Montague, right, after Justin Morneau's home run was ruled foul in the fifth inning of Wednesday's game at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. The Twins won, 5-4 in 10 innings and completed a three-game sweep.

Athletics 3, Mariners 2

Oakland, Calif. — Mark Mulder earned his 14th victory when pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, and the Oakland Athletics beat Seattle for the Mariners’ team-record 15th straight road loss. The A’s won their fifth in a row behind Mulder (14-3).

Eric Byrnes hit a tying solo homer in the eighth off Seattle reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa, then Julio Mateo (1-2) gave up Kotsay’s one-hit that scored Scott Hatteberg from second.

Kotsay had been given the day off to rest before the team opens a season-long 11-game road trip in Texas on Friday.

Mulder gave up eight hits in becoming the majors’ top winner this season. Texas’ Kenny Rogers was to try for his 14th victory later at night in Anaheim.

Seattle starter Jamie Moyer pitched a great game, striking out a season-high nine over seven innings, but remained winless in his last eight starts.

The Mariners surpassed the 14 straight road losses from May 21-June 21, 1988.

Indians 5, Tigers 4

Cleveland — Scott Elarton won for the first time in 18 starts, and Casey Blake’s two-run homer in the seventh inning lifted Cleveland.

Elarton (1-2) hadn’t won since Sept. 19, 2003, for Colorado. The right-hander went 0-6 this season for the Rockies, who released him on May 17.

With the Tigers leading 4-3, Blake connected off Jamie Walker (1-4) for his 17th homer to put the Indians ahead.

Elarton allowed four runs and six hits in a season-high seven innings. Bob Wickman earned his first save since July 20, 2002, five months before he underwent elbow surgery.

Orioles 4, Red Sox 1

Baltimore — Dave Borkowski took a two-hitter into the eighth inning, and Javy Lopez hit two homers off Curt Schilling.

Facing a torrid-hitting club that scored 39 runs on 52 hits in its previous four games, Borkowski (2-2) allowed three hits in seven-plus innings. He struck out seven and walked none. Schilling (12-5) allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings.

Blue Jays 3, Yankees 2, 10 innings

Toronto — Vernon Wells homered in the 10th inning and Carlos Delgado had a tying RBI double in the eighth.

Wells homered off Scott Proctor (1-1) with one out as Toronto avoided a three-game sweep. In the top of the 10th, Wells robbed Derek Jeter of extra bases with a running catch at the wall in center field.

Angels 2, Rangers 0

Anaheim, Calif. — Troy Percival earned his 300th career save, and John Lackey allowed three hits over 8-plus innings, leading Anaheim past Texas.

Percival became the 18th member of the 300-save club, getting Mark Teixeira to ground out to first to end the game. Lackey (9-9) won for the fifth time in six decisions.
