White Sox 13, Yankees 9

New York – All these runs, all these hits, and not one single homer for Alex Rodriguez.

On a day of crazy 8s, the White Sox and New York Yankees scored eight runs each in the second-highest scoring inning in major-league history. Jermaine Dye homered twice and doubled twice.

New York scored 33 runs and had 15 homers in the series. But there were no home runs by A-Rod, who ended a career-high hitless streak at 22 at-bats when he singled in the second. Rodriguez went 2-for-5 and keeps up his quest to become the youngest player to reach 500 homers tonight against Kansas City – the team that allowed No. 499 on July 25.

Red Sox 7, Orioles 4

Boston – Doug Mirabelli went 3-for-3 with a homer, recovering from a base-running gaffe to drive in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning and lead Boston over Baltimore.

Eric Gagne pitched the ninth in his first appearance since Boston acquired him from Texas on Tuesday. The former Rangers closer, pitching because Jonathan Papelbon finished off Wednesday night’s game, entered to a standing ovation.

He struck out the first two batters, looking, before Aubrey Huff reached on a popup that drifted fair, between third baseman Mike Lowell and shortstop Alex Cora. Huff scored on Jay Payton’s single before Jay Gibbons flied out.

Mirabelli had his first three-hit game since 2004, joining Erik Hinske in back-to-back homers in the fourth for a 3-0 lead. The Orioles tied it in the fifth off Tim Wakefield (13-9).

Indians 5, Rangers 0

Cleveland – Jake Westbrook ended the longest winless stretch of his career just in time for slumping Cleveland, which stopped a four-game losing streak with a victory over Texas.

Westbrook (2-6) picked up his first win since April 27 – a span of nine starts – by allowing five hits in six innings. The right-hander, who signed a $33 million, three-year contract extension in April, spent nearly six weeks on the disabled list due to a strained side muscle.

Angels 6, Athletics 4

Oakland, Calif. – After going 30 games without a homer, Vladimir Guerrero hit two in consecutive at-bats in Los Angeles’ victory over Oakland.

Guerrero ended the longest power dry spell of his career, which lasted 125 at-bats, with two tremendous shots into the bleachers in left-center field off Chad Gaudin. His last home run was on June 23.

Late Wednesday game

Mariners 8, Angels 7, 12 inn.

Seattle – Yuniesky Betancourt grounded a single through the left side of a five-man infield to score Adrian Beltre with one out in the bottom of the 12th inning.
