AMERICAN LEAGUE

TORONTO -- Tampa Bay's team-record winning streak ended at 12 games when Reed Johnson hit a game-winning single in the 10th inning. The Devil Rays had not lost since San Francisco beat them 7-3 on June 8. It was the longest winning streak in the majors since Arizona won 12 straight from June 18-30 last year. Toronto trailed 1-0, but tied the score in the eighth when Victor Zambrano bounced a wild pitch after Alex Rios singled, stole second and took third on a groundout.
In the 10th, Dave Berg hit a single off Jesus Colome (1-1), Frank Menechino walked and Howie Clark sacrificed before Johnson made a winner of reliever Jason Frasor (3-2).
Orioles 13, Yankees 2
BALTIMORE -- David Newhan set career highs of four hits and three RBIs, and the Orioles emphatically ended a nine-game skid against New York with a 17-hit attack. Eric Bedard (2-2) allowed seven hits and one earned run in five-plus innings. The Yankees had won nine in a row.
Twins 4, Red Sox 2
BOSTON -- Torii Hunter had a home run and three RBIs to lead Minnesota. Carlos Silva (8-4) held the Red Sox scoreless until Mark Bellhorn's eighth homer made it 4-1 leading off the sixth inning.

Padres 4, Diamondbacks 3
SAN DIEGO -- David Wells outpitched Randy Johnson in a matchup of perfect-game lefties but got a no-decision when the Padres blew a one-run lead. Terrence Long then homered in the ninth to hand Arizona its season-high sixth straight loss.
Giants 3, Dodgers 2
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ray Durham hit a bases-loaded triple and Jerome Williams pitched six strong innings in the Giants' fifth straight victory. The Giants increased their NL West lead to 11/2 games with their third straight win over their fiercest rivals.

Durham then stood on the base and applauded his sixth hit in 11 at-bats against the Dodgers during the series.
