Twins 7, Tigers 6

Minneapolis – Joe Mauer capped a Minnesota rally from a six-run, first-inning deficit, slapping a two-run single up the middle in the seventh to lift the Twins to their fifth straight victory.

A two-out error in the inning by third baseman Carlos Guillen set up a four-run surge and ruined a strong start by Kenny Rogers.

Blue Jays 4, White Sox 3

Toronto – Roy Halladay won for the first time in four starts, Matt Stairs scored twice and drove in two runs, and Toronto handed Chicago its season-high fifth straight loss.

Yankees 8, Mariners 2

New York – Derek Jeter had four hits, and the Yankees got consecutive homers from Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano.

Red Sox 7, Rays 3

Boston – Kevin Youkilis had four RBIs, and Jon Lester pitched six innings to spoil the return of Rays ace Scott Kazmir.

After being swept for the first time in franchise history by Tampa Bay last weekend, the Red Sox outscored the Rays in the series, 26-10.

Angels 6, Orioles 5

Anaheim, Calif. – Gary Matthews Jr. and Torii Hunter homered in the first inning, and Los Angeles beat Baltimore despite a poor outing by still-unbeaten Joe Saunders. Saunders became the third pitcher in Angels history to start a season 6-0 or better.

Athletics 3, Rangers 1

Oakland, Calif. – Jack Cust homered for Oakland.
