Rays 5, Yankees 2

Minneapolis – Pinch-hitter Joe Inglett sliced a two-out, bases-loaded single through the infield in the 11th inning, helping Toronto complete a three-game sweep of the Twins.

White Sox 4, Angels 3

Anaheim, Calif. – Jim Thome hit a go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning, and A.J. Pierzynski’s RBI double capped a three-run second against former batterymate Jon Garland.
