Blue Jays 2, White Sox 0

Toronto – Shaun Marcum matched Mark Buehrle pitch for pitch, and Shannon Stewart drove in the only runs, helping Toronto beat the White Sox for Chicago’s third straight defeat.

Marcum (3-2) struck out nine and won for the first time in three starts, lowering his earned-run average to 2.70. He allowed just two hits, both singles by Orlando Cabrera, and walked three.

Jeremy Accardo relieved Marcum after back-to-back walks with two out in the seventh. Accardo loaded the bases by walking Brian Anderson, but got Juan Uribe on a fly out to right.

Yankees 5, Mariners 1

Orioles 4, Angels 3

Anaheim, Calif. – Jeremy Guthrie won for the first time in 16 starts, Nick Markakis and Melvin Mora each drove in two runs, and Baltimore beat Los Angeles to kick off a 10-game road trip.

Twins 11, Tigers 1

Minneapolis – Livan Hernandez baffled Detroit’s mighty offense for seven innings, and Minnesota beat up the Tigers’ normally reliable bullpen.

Rangers 3, Athletics 2

Oakland, Calif. – Milton Bradley had three hits with a double and run scored against his former team, and Texas took advantage of four errors by Oakland.
