AROUND THE HORN Friday's other games

INTERLEAGUE
White Sox 5, Cubs 1
CHICAGO -- Freddy Garcia outpitched Greg Maddux, and Joe Crede and Jermaine Dye homered for the White Sox. Garcia (4-3) allowed an unearned run and five singles in seven innings. Crede, in a 1-for-21 slide, homered leading off a three-run fifth for a 2-0 lead. Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski followed with two-out, RBI singles. Greg Maddux (2-2) gave up four runs -- three earned -- and nine hits in seven innings.
Yankees 5, Mets 2
NEW YORK -- The Yankees scored twice in the sixth inning on consecutive errors by second baseman Kaz Matsui and first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz and won for the 11th time in 12 games. Tony Womack walked twice, stole a base and scored two runs, and Hideki Matsui drove in two of the eight Yankees who reached on walks. Facing his mentor, Joe Torre, for the first time, Mets manager Willie Randolph gambled on the bases, sending his baserunners often, and in the field, bringing the infield in during the fourth inning of a scoreless game. That move backfired when Hideki Matsui lined a double past Mientkiewicz for a run. The Mets got a run back in the bottom half when Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter made two errors. Kevin Brown (3-4), who won his third straight start, gave up only three hits and an unearned run, struck out five and walked four in five innings. The Mets' Victor Zambrano (2-4) walked six in 51/3 innings.
Rangers 7, Astros 3
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kenny Rogers' scoreless streak was snapped at 31 innings, but he held Houston to three runs in eight innings and got a lot of help from Laynce Nix. Nix hit a three-run homer, had six RBIs and made a run-saving throw from center field to help the 40-year-old Rogers improve to 5-2. Rogers' streak -- the third-longest in Rangers history and eight innings shy of his club record set in 1995 -- ended when Brad Ausmus' one-out single in the top of the second scored Morgan Ensberg.
Cardinals 7, Royals 6
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- John Mabry hit a grand slam and an RBI double to power St. Louis to its sixth straight victory over its cross-state rival. Mark Mulder (6-1) scuffled through 52/3 innings but won his sixth decision in a row. The lefty gave up four runs and seven hits, twice loading the bases with none out. He struck out two and walked a season-high five. Albert Pujols also had three hits and scored two runs for the Cardinals, who have won 12 of their last 13 interleague games.
Blue Jays 6, Nationals 1
TORONTO -- Ted Lilly struck out a season-high eight in five innings, and Vernon Wells homered twice for Toronto against Washington. Marlon Byrd drove in the lone run for the Nationals with an RBI single in the fourth. Lilly (2-4) and allowed five hits while beating Claudio Vargas (0-2). Wells hit a two-run homer off Vargas (0-2) in the fourth and a solo shot off Zach Day in the eighth for the eighth multi-homer game of his career.
Red Sox 4, Braves 3
BOSTON -- Wade Miller retired his first eight batters and allowed three hits in 61/3 innings. Miller (1-0) sent the Braves to their fourth straight loss. He struck out five, walked two and left after Johnny Estrada's second hit of the game -- a one-out double in the seventh. Keith Foulke worked the ninth and got his 11th save despite giving up a double to Chipper Jones, a run-scoring triple to Andruw Jones and an RBI single to Johnny Estrada. But Foulke got Julio Franco to ground into a game-ending double play.
Twins 7, Brewers 1
MINNEAPOLIS -- Carlos Silva pitched a five-hitter for his second career complete game. Shannon Stewart and Nick Punto, holding the top two spots in the lineup, had seven hits between them to spark the Twins, who knocked Brewers starter Gary Glover (2-3) out in a four-run second. Punto went 4-for-4, his first career four-hit game.
Diamondbacks 6, Tigers 2
DETROIT -- Arizona's Brandon Webb took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and won his sixth straight decision. Craig Counsell tied a team record with three doubles and also hit a go-ahead single in the eighth for the Diamondbacks. Webb (6-0) allowed just one runner in the first six innings, and retired Brandon Inge for the first out of the seventh. Ivan Rodriguez followed with a roller to third and reached with an infield single when he easily beat the throw from Troy Glaus.
Marlins 7, Devil Rays 6
MIAMI -- Mike Lowell and Paul Lo Duca drove in three runs each to back Al Leiter. Leiter (2-4) gave up four runs and six hits in five innings. Todd Jones pitched the ninth for his fourth save in five chances, giving up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Travis Lee. Hideo Nomo (2-4) dropped to 0-7 in 10 starts at Florida, giving up seven runs -- six earned -- eight hits and four walks in five innings.
