David Ortiz had four hits and drove in four runs, including the winning run.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON -- David Ortiz capped a 4-for-5 day with a single the other way through a shifted infield with two outs in the 11th inning, giving the Boston Red Sox a 7-6 comeback win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Ortiz drove in four runs, helping the Red Sox rally to spoil Angels rookie Jered Weaver's attempt to become the first pitcher in 25 years to win his first eight major league starts.
Ortiz hit his major league-leading 35th homer and had a pair of RBI singles to raise his major league-leading RBI total to 99.

Athletics 7, Blue Jays 4
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Barry Zito settled down after giving up a first-inning grand slam and Jay Payton drove in three runs to move the Oakland Athletics back into first place in the AL West.
The A's had spent 43 days with at least a share of first place before falling a half-game behind the Los Angeles Angels following a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Friday.
The A's fell behind 4-0 just four batters into the game as the first three Blue Jays reached against Zito before Troy Glaus hit his first grand slam in nearly four years.
But Zito (11-7) found his groove after that and didn't give up another run.
Zito, who is eligible for free agency at the end of the season, has been mentioned in potential trade talks since the season began and pitched under the close watch of scouts from around the majors.
But with Oakland in the thick of the AL West race, Zito believes he will still be with the A's when Monday's trade deadline passes.

Devil Rays 19, Yankees 6
NEW YORK -- Tomas Perez tied a major league record with four doubles, going 5-for-5 and leading the Tampa Bay rout of Randy Johnson.
Damon Hollins homered and drove in a career-best five runs for the Devil Rays, who matched a franchise mark for runs.
They earned their first road win this month and emphatically ended New York's four-game winning streak.
Jonny Gomes, Jorge Cantu and Travis Lee also connected as Tampa Bay equaled a season high with 17 hits and won for only the fifth time in 19 games. All that offense sent right-hander Jae Seo to his first win with the Devil Rays.

White Sox 13, Orioles 11
BALTIMORE -- Tadahito Iguchi homered to cap a seven-run third inning and A.J. Pierzynski went 5-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs as Chicago held .
Pierzynski's five hits were a career high. Jermaine Dye contributed a single, double and his 27th home run.
Jon Garland (11-3) allowed six runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings, but benefited from a rare offensive outburst by his teammates to win his seventh straight decision. It was the most runs for the White Sox since July 4, when they beat Baltimore 13-0.
Miguel Tejada hit his 19th homer, had four hits and drove in three runs for the Orioles, who cut into an 11-4 deficit but couldn't complete the comeback.
Baltimore outhit Chicago 19-18 but stranded 12 runners.
Bobby Jenks, the sixth White Sox pitcher, got three outs for his 28th save.
