AMERICAN LEAGUE
Tigers 9, Twins 4
DETROIT -- Detroit avoided the 1962 Mets' record for losses, finishing their best six-game stretch of the season.

Yankees 3, Orioles 1
NEW YORK -- David Wells earned his 200th win and was pulled by manager-for-a-day Roger Clemens. Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer and Drew Henson got his first major league hit for the Yankees.

Devil Rays 3, Red Sox 1

White Sox 5, Royals 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Esteban Loaiza took a no-hit bid into the seventh in what might have been Jerry Manuel's final game as Chicago manager.
