Rangers 12, White Sox 4
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jon Garland will have to wait even longer for the chance to be a nine-game winner. Kevin Mench hit a three-run homer as part of a six-run sixth inning, and Texas stretched the major league's longest active winning streak to eight games.
Mariners 10, Devil Rays 9
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rookie Jeremy Reed homered and drove in a career-high four runs, leading Seattle over Tampa Bay.

Angels 7, Royals 6
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Steve Finley and Jose Molina drove in three runs each with two-out, extra-base hits, and Los Angeles completed a three-game sweep of Kansas City.

Astros 2, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE -- Andy Pettitte pitched six shutout innings, and Houston won a road series for the first time this year. Pettitte (3-5) missed his last start due to tightness in his left elbow, but snapped a personal three-game losing streak to win for the first time since May 2.

Padres 9, Giants 6
SAN FRANCISCO -- Damian Jackson hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the ninth inning, and San Diego completed its first three-game sweep at SBC Park.

Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 3
PHOENIX -- Jeff Weaver earned his first win in four starts and Los Angeles Dodgers won a series for the first time in three weeks. The Dodgers scored five times in the first three innings. Los Angeles had lost five straight series since winning two of three at Cincinnati from May 6-8.
