AROUND THE HORN | Tuesday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Athletics 1, Blue Jays 0,
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Damian Miller broke up Dave Bush's no-hit bid in the eighth inning, then won the game with a bases-loaded single in the 14th.
Bush and Rich Harden allowed one hit apiece through eight innings, but the game stretched on long after a duel of promising young right-handers ended in a draw.
Yankees 4, Devil Rays 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Gary Sheffield hit his 397th career homer and drove in three runs.
Derek Jeter left the game in the eighth with a bruised right wrist after getting hit by a pitch from Victor Zambrano two innings earlier. X-rays were negative.
Contreras (8-3) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings to beat Zambrano (9-6) for the second time in 12 days. Mariano Rivera got his AL-leading 34th save in 35 chances.
Red Sox 9, Mariners 7
SEATTLE -- Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz hit consecutive homers to key Boston's eight-run fourth inning against Seattle.
Winning pitcher Derek Lowe (8-9) gave up four runs and nine hits in five innings. Keith Foulke, who pitched two innings the previous night, got three outs for his 15th save in 20 chances.
Orioles 12, Royals 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Karim Garcia began his second stint with Baltimore with two home runs and five RBIs, and the Orioles tied a club record with 11 extra-base hits against Kansas City.
Garcia, acquired Monday from the New York Mets for reliever Mike DeJean, was 0-for-16 in eight games for the Orioles in 2000.
The Orioles hit five home runs, a season high, and six doubles. Miguel Tejada, Larry Bigbie and Robert Machado also homered, and Bigbie and Machado also had one double each.
Twins 5, Tigers 4, 10 innings
DETROIT -- Jacque Jones homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning.
Justin Morneau also homered for the Twins, who swept the two-game series after losing six of their previous seven games.
Rangers 6, White Sox 4
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rod Barajas broke a tie with a two-run double, and Gary Matthews Jr. homered in the eighth inning to give Texas its fifth win in six games.
Chicago got home runs from Paul Konerko, Jose Valentin and Carlos Lee but dropped out of first place in the AL Central, a half-game behind Minnesota.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Reds 6, Brewers 2
CINCINNATI -- Brandon Claussen pitched seven impressive innings in his long-awaited NL debut, and Jason Romano's first homer sent Cincinnati over Milwaukee.
Claussen (1-0) gave up Bill Hall's two-run homer and only five hits overall in his first appearance with the Reds. The left-hander was the Yankees' top pitching prospect last July when they sent him to Cincinnati as part of the trade for Aaron Boone.
Phillies 4, Braves 3, 10 innings
ATLANTA -- Bobby Abreu's RBI single in the 10th inning capped Philadelphia's 30th come-from-behind win of the season, pulling the Phillies back into a first-place tie in the NL East.
The Phillies rallied for two unearned runs in the eighth, ruining another strong outing by Atlanta starter Jaret Wright.
In the 10th, Jimmy Rollins led off with a single against Antonio Alfonseca (5-4) and stole second. Chase Utley put down a bunt in front of the plate, but catcher Eddie Perez bobbled the ball to leave runners at first and third.
Sam McConnell took over for Alfonseca, but Abreu managed a single up the middle to give Philadelphia the lead.
Marlins 9, Mets 7
NEW YORK -- Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs, and Florida won despite blowing an early six-run lead.
Mike Piazza sprained his left wrist when Juan Pierre ran into his arm as he reached for a wide throw at first base in the second inning. X-rays were negative, and he was to be re-evaluated.
Dodgers 7, Astros 5
HOUSTON -- Adrian Beltre hit his 25th homer and drove in three runs, leading Los Angeles to its eighth straight win.
Giants 3, Diamondbacks 1
PHOENIX -- Jerome Williams outpitched Randy Johnson, allowing four hits over seven-plus innings.
Barry Bonds returned to the lineup and was 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI for the Giants, who won for the seventh time in nine games to remain 21/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
Padres 9, Rockies 7
DENVER -- Ryan Klesko homered and drove in three runs, Khalil Greene had a homer and two RBIs, and Adam Eaton finally beat Jason Jennings.
