AROUND THE HORN Tuesday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
A's 13, Yankees 4
NEW YORK -- Scott Hatteberg homered twice and drove in five runs, while Mark Mulder hung on for his major league-leading 15th win, leading the streaking Athletics. Jorge Posada and Gary Sheffield hit early home runs that put New York ahead 4-1, but the A's stormed back to win for the ninth time in 10 games in a match-up of AL division leaders. Mulder (15-3) allowed eight hits and four runs in seven innings for his 13th win in 14 decisions.
Red Sox 5, Devil Rays 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Curt Schilling pitched a six-hitter for his third complete game of the season and Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer to lead Boston. Schilling (13-5) struck out seven and walked one in his 82nd complete game. Bill Mueller drove in three runs for the Red Sox, who have won two straight since dropping a pair to AL Central-leading Minnesota. They remained a half-game behind Texas in the AL wild-card race.
Rangers 5, Tigers 4
DETROIT -- Mark Teixeira and Kevin Mench homered, and Eric Young hit a tie-breaking RBI single in the seventh inning to lead Texas. Young went 3-for-5 for the struggling Rangers, who won for just the third time in 10 games. Frank Francisco (3-1) pitched 11/3 perfect innings in relief of Kenny Rogers, who failed in an attempt to become the American League's second 14-game winner. Francisco Cordero pitched a perfect ninth for his 32nd save in 34 tries.
Orioles 9, Mariners 7
Orioles 5, Mariners 4
BALTIMORE -- Rafael Palmeiro passed Babe Ruth on the career hits list, and the Orioles swept a doubleheader against the Mariners for the first time in 16 years. After going 2-for-3 in the day game to tie Ruth for 36th place, Palmeiro moved past the Bambino in the night game with his 2,874th career hit, a fourth-inning single to right off Jamie Moyer. Palmeiro also drove in three during the first game. Javy Lopez hit a three-run home run in the first game, and Melvin Mora and Larry Bigbie went deep in the second for the Orioles, who clinched their first home series win since May 7-9.
Twins 10, Angels 0
MINNEAPOLIS -- Backed by sound defense and a burst of power, Carlos Silva pitched his first career complete game and shutout. The Twins hit four home runs and turned a season-high five double plays, winning for the 12th time in 14 games and handing the Angels just their second loss in seven games. Silva (10-7) gave up 11 hits, struck out three and walked two. Torii Hunter, Corey Koskie, Justin Morneau and Henry Blanco all went deep for Minnesota.
White Sox 12, Royals 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jose Contreras won his debut for his new team, and Paul Konerko hit a grand slam to tie for the AL home run lead. Contreras (9-5), obtained from the New York Yankees on Saturday for slumping All-Star Esteban Loaiza, was given a 7-0 lead by the fifth inning and left after the sixth, when Chicago extended its lead to 10-4 lead on Aaron Rowand's three-run homer. He gave up four runs -- two earned -- and five hits in six innings, struck out three and walked one.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Cubs 5, Rockies 3
DENVER -- Kerry Wood pitched eight innings despite a shaky start, and Derrek Lee hit his 21st homer in a five-run second that lifted Chicago. Wood (6-4) gave up three runs in the first inning, but allowed just three hits over the next seven. He struck out five and walked three to win for the third win in five starts since coming off the DL following a triceps strain. Sammy Sosa drove in a run and so did Nomar Garciaparra, playing his second game since the Cubs acquired him from Boston. Chicago has won six of eight to stay within reach of San Diego in the NL wild card race.
Mets 12, Brewers 3
MILWAUKEE -- Al Leiter had another strong outing, limiting Milwaukee to one run over seven innings, and the Mets scored five times in the sixth and ninth innings. Leiter (8-3) scattered seven hits to help the Mets snap a three-game skid and lower his major league-leading ERA to 2.12. He struck out seven and walked one intentionally. Since returning from the disabled list June 1, the 38-year-old left-hander is 7-1 with a 1.90 ERA in 12 starts.
Diamondbacks 5, Marlins 3
PHOENIX -- Danny Bautista hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning, and Arizona won at home for the first time in nearly a month. Arizona had lost 11 straight home games, a team record, since beating Minnesota 6-2 on July 4. Shea Hillenbrand also homered for the Diamondbacks.
Expos 10, Cardinals 6, 12 innings
ST. LOUIS -- Tony Batista hit a grand slam in the 12th inning after tying it with a two-run shot in the ninth, leading Montreal over St. Louis. Albert Pujols became the first player to hit at least 30 home runs in his each of his first four seasons on a major league roster when he hit a two-run homer to straightaway center off Montreal spot starter Sun-Woo Kim with one out in the first inning.
Giants 11, Reds 0
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds homered twice and rookie Noah Lowry carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning on the way to his first major league victory. Bonds matched a season high with five RBIs, raising his home-run total to 29 this season and 687 in his career. J.T. Snow matched a career high with four hits. He had a homer, single and two doubles for the Giants, who had lost four of five. Bonds hit a three-run homer in the third inning, sending the first pitch he saw from Cory Lidle (6-10) into the right-field arcade. Bonds connected again in the seventh in a span of three consecutive homers by San Francisco.
Phillies 5, Padres 2
SAN DIEGO -- Pinch-hitter Chase Utley drove in the go-ahead run in a three-run seventh and Brett Myers (6-8) pitched six strong innings for his first win in nearly seven weeks for Philadelphia. Jim Thome hit his major league-leading 32nd homer for the Phillies, who are on a season-long 13-game road trip and won for just the second time in eight games.
