AROUND THE HORN Sunday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Yankees 8, Red Sox 4
BOSTON -- Roger Clemens got his 100th win at Fenway Park in his final regular season start there, and New York moved 51/2 games ahead of Boston in the East. Clemens allowed four runs on six hits in 62/3 innings, and the Yankees took two of three games in the series. The capacity crowd gave him a standing ovation when he left and it continued as he stood in the dugout so he came out, waved and tipped his hat. Boston threatened in the ninth, loading the bases against Jeff Nelson. But Mariano Rivera got his 31st save in 37 chances when he struck out Nomar Garciaparra, who went 0-for-5.
Athletics 4, Devil Rays 3
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Miguel Tejada homered and rookie Rich Harden got his first win in five starts as Oakland won its ninth straight. Harden (4-3) struck out 10 over seven strong innings, allowing five hits and a walk. Chad Bradford got two outs for his second save. Aubrey Huff hit a two-run homer and a run-scoring single for the Devil Rays, who lost for the ninth time in 11 games.
Mariners 3, Orioles 0
SEATTLE -- Jamie Moyer beat Baltimore for the 14th consecutive time -- the longest current streak by a pitcher against one team -- and Seattle completed a three-game sweep. The Orioles lost their season-worst eighth straight game for the second time in August. They've been outscored 45-12 during their current skid. Moyer (17-6) allowed five hits and one walk in 72/3 innings as the Mariners got their 15th shutout -- tops in the majors -- while the Orioles were shut out for the 10th time.
Rangers 11, Twins 10
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Alex Rodriguez became the second player in major league history with six straight 40-homer seasons, and Einar Diaz singled home the winning run in the ninth inning for Texas. Mark Teixeira hit a tie-breaking, three-run shot to help the Rangers snap a five-game losing streak. Rafael Palmeiro followed with his 32nd homer of the season and the 522nd of his career, passing Ted Williams and Willie McCovey for 13th on the all-time list.
White Sox 6, Tigers 1
DETROIT -- Magglio Ordonez hit a tie-breaking single in the eighth inning and Esteban Loaiza became the AL's first 18-game winner.

Angels 7, Royals 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Scott Spiezio and Garret Anderson each homered and drove in two runs, leading Anaheim past Kansas City in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed by rain. Chone Figgins also had two RBIs for the Angels. Scot Shields (4-4) went five innings for the victory despite throwing three wild pitches. Troy Percival got his 29th save in 31 chances.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Phillies 4, Mets 1
NEW YORK -- Vicente Padilla held New York hitless for six innings and Jim Thome homered as Philadelphia completed a three-game sweep. Mets rookie Jose Reyes, who broke up the no-hit bid with an infield single leading off the seventh, sprained his left ankle trying to break up a game-ending double play. Padilla (12-9) allowed one run and two hits without issuing a walk in eight innings. He struck out five, improving to 7-1 career against the Mets.
Cardinals 5, Reds 0
CINCINNATI -- Albert Pujols homered twice and tied a career high with five RBIs, and Sterling Hitchcock threw six shutout innings for St. Louis. Pujols has 38 homers this season, and 108 for his career to move past Joe DiMaggio for third place on the list for most homers in a player's first three years. Hitchcock (2-0) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out four in his first start for the Cardinals, who won for the fourth time in five games.
Marlins 5, Expos 3
MIAMI -- Derrek Lee hit a three-run homer and Mark Redman snapped a three-game losing streak. The Marlins won without injured third baseman Mike Lowell, who is out for the rest of the regular season with a broken left hand. Redman (11-8) gave up six three runs on six hits and struck out 10 in six innings.
Padres 3, Astros 1
HOUSTON -- Jake Peavy and four relievers combined on a three-hitter as San Diego dropped Houston into second place in the Central. Mark Loretta hit a two-run single for the Padres. Peavy (10-10) allowed one run and one hit in six innings, while striking out 10.
