AROUND THE HORN | Monday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
White Sox 5, Orioles 4
BALTIMORE -- Scott Schoeneweis pitched seven innings of two-hit ball, and Chicago scored three runs in the seventh inning. Joe Crede homered for the White Sox, who have won five of six. Crede's shot tied it at 1 in the sixth, and Chicago went up 4-1 an inning later against Mike DeJean (0-3). Schoeneweis (3-1) allowed one run, struck out three and walked three in winning his third straight decision. Melvin Mora drove in two runs with a two-out single in the ninth off Billy Koch, who loaded the bases on three walks. Miguel Tejada, who also drove in two runs, then grounded sharply to short but Juan Uribe turned it into a game-ending fielder's choice that gave Koch his fourth save in five tries.
Rangers 9, Devil Rays 0
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kenny Rogers pitched a four-hitter, and Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer, and David Dellucci and Michael Young each had three-run shots in an eight-run first inning as Texas won its fifth straight. Rogers (4-1) struck out four, walked one and helped protect his eighth career shutout when he made a lunging grab of a line drive by Rocco Baldelli with runners at first and second to end the third inning. It was the 34th complete game of Rogers' career. The Devil Rays have gone 25 games without back-to-back victories. That's the longest such streak since Baltimore failed to win two straight over the first 25 games in 1999. Texas, which has won nine of 10, sent 11 to the plate in the first against Paul Abbott (2-3).
Royals 3, Blue Jays 2, 10 innings
TORONTO -- Aaron Guiel homered in the 10th inning as Kansas City nearly wasted a stellar outing by Jimmy Gobble. The left-hander retired his first 16 batters and came within one out of a shutout for the Royals. Gobble gave up a two-out double to Carlos Delgado in the ninth and an RBI single to Josh Phelps, cutting it to 2-1. Mike MacDougal then came in and gave up a single to Eric Hinske and walked pinch-hitter Frank Catalanotto, loading the bases. MacDougal then walked Orlando Hudson, tying it at 2. Guiel hit a 3-2 pitch from Terry Adams (2-1) over the right-center fence with one out in the 10th.
Angels 11, Tigers 9
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Vladimir Guerrero made up for a key error with a tying RBI single, Troy Glaus hit a go-ahead, two-run homer for Anaheim. Bengie Molina drove in three runs for the Angels, and Adam Kennedy had three hits. Glaus hit his eighth home run. Rookie reliever Kevin Gregg (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh. Detroit scored three runs in the ninth, but Troy Percival got two outs for his eighth save in nine chances.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Cubs 7, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS -- Greg Maddux pitched seven strong innings, stole a base and scored twice for Chicago. Sammy Sosa, Todd Walker and Derrek Lee homered for the Cubs, who split the four-game series despite scoring only 14 runs. Albert Pujols and Jim Edmonds connected for the Cardinals. Maddux (2-2) outpitched former Braves teammate Jason Marquis (1-2) for his 291st career win.
Reds 7, Astros 5
HOUSTON -- Javier Valentin hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and Cincinnati snapped a five-game losing streak, but lost Ken Griffey Jr. to a stiff right hamstring. Griffey, hampered by a string of injuries the last three years, left in the third inning after striking out against Roy Oswalt. The center fielder is day-to-day. The Reds who ended Houston's four-game winning streak and went 4-6 on their longest road trip of the season.
