KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- John Buck hit a three-run homer and Angel Berroa had two hits and scored twice in a 10-run fifth inning that carried Kansas City to a rout of New York. Berroa wound up with five hits and scored five runs and Buck also had a single and two doubles and a career-best five RBIs for the Royals, who had lost six in a row to the Yankees and beaten them only twice in their last 10 meetings at home.
Angels 5, Mariners 1
SEATTLE -- Kelvim Escobar pitched seven innings and Garret Anderson hit a three-run homer, leading Anaheim. Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki went hitless -- 0-for-4 with a walk -- for the third time in four games.
Athletics 7, Rangers 6, 10 innings
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Eric Chavez singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, leading Oakland to a wild win that was delayed in the ninth after Texas reliever Frank Francisco hurled a chair and hit two fans. Alfonso Soriano tied it at 5 with two outs in the ninth on his second homer of the night. Moments later, with Hank Blalock at the plate, the Rangers' bench and bullpen cleared. Texas reliever Doug Brocail was seen screaming at a male fan, and the pitcher had to be restrained by his teammates and bullpen coach Mark Connor. Francisco then tossed a chair at a fan in a lower box to the left of the Rangers' bullpen along the right-field line. The chair hit one man in the head, then bounced and struck a woman in the side of the head. The incident caused a 19-minute delay.
