Red Sox 9, Yankees 2

Boston – The David Ortiz-Manny Ramirez combo struck again – though for the first time in a while – shifting the focus from Ramirez’s talk about being traded by the Red Sox and helping to end the Yankees’ eight-game winning streak.

Ramirez doubled twice and drove in two runs just hours after saying he was “tired” of the Red Sox and would agree to a trade if it made him and the team happy. Ortiz homered and drove in three runs in just his third game after missing 45 with an injured left wrist.

Athletics 6, Rangers 5.

Oakland, Calif. – Jack Cust and Kurt Suzuki homered and Oakland reliever Brad Ziegler set the major league record for scoreless innings to start a career in the Athletics’ win.

Ziegler gave up two singles in two innings to extend his scoreless streak to 27 innings.

Baltimore – Baltimore ended its run of 15 straight losses in Sunday games, defeating the Angels behind a sharp pitching performance by Garrett Olson.

Twins 4, Indians 2
