Boston ? Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched his first major-league complete game to start a four-game series between the AL’s two top teams, and the Boston Red Sox took their biggest lead in the standings in 12 seasons with a 7-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Matsuzaka (5-2) was outstanding for his second consecutive outing after three straight mediocre starts. He allowed just six hits, struck out five and walked none. He was dominant after Curtis Granderson’s solo homer in the third. No other runners made it past second base.

Angels 7, Rangers 2

Arlington, Texas – Kevin Millwood came off the disabled list for Texas, gave up a first-inning grand slam to Casey Kotchman, then left after five outs due to an aggravated hamstring.

Toronto – Troy Glaus hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Toronto rallied for a victory.

Frank Thomas drew a one-out walk and was replaced by pinch-runner Jason Smith before Glaus drilled a 1-0 pitch from Danys Baez (0-2) into the second deck in left.
