MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP Monday's other games



INTERLEAGUE
Red Sox 8, Phillies 7
BOSTON -- David Ortiz beat the Phillies in Boston's last at-bat for the second consecutive game, singling home the winning run in the 12th inning to extending the Red Sox's winning streak to nine games. Boston led 6-0 after six and 6-5 in the ninth before Chase Utley homered off the Pesky Pole in right field to force extra innings. The Phillies took a 7-6 lead in the 12th on Jimmy Rollins' RBI double, but Coco Crisp doubled and scored on Kevin Youkilis' single to make it 7-7. Mark Loretta walked, then Ortiz lined a 1-2 pitch to center to end it. Ortiz, who leads the AL with 68 RBIs, ended Saturday's game with a 10th-inning homer. Craig Hansen (1-0) earned his first major league victory for the Red Sox. Clay Condrey (1-2) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while getting two outs.
Marlins 8, Devil Rays 5
MIAMI -- Hanley Ramirez beat out an infield single to start a five-run fifth-inning rally, and Josh Johnson survived a rocky start to help Florida. Cody Ross had three hits and two RBIs, and Josh Willingham, Mike Jacobs and Jeremy Hermida each drove in two runs for the Marlins, who are 22-9 since May 22 and moved within one game of Philadelphia for second place in the NL East. Johnson (7-4) trailed 2-0 after only six pitches, but allowed just one more run over the rest of his 62/3 innings. He struck out five, walked one, and gave up eight hits for the Marlins, and Joe Borowski worked the ninth for his 14th save -- and ninth in his last nine opportunities.
Yankees 5, Braves 2
NEW YORK -- Jason Giambi homered twice and drove in five runs, Randy Johnson tossed seven shutout innings and the Yankees beat Atlanta. Johnson (9-6) allowed four hits, struck out a season-high nine and didn't walk a batter. He didn't allow a runner past first base until Edgar Renteria went to third on Chipper Jones' two-out single in the sixth. The left-hander then struck out Andruw Jones to get out of the inning. Johnson recorded seven strikeouts in his last three innings. It was his first start against the Braves since he threw a perfect game for Arizona in a 2-0 win at Atlanta on May 18, 2004.
Tigers 10, Astros 4
DETROIT -- Ivan Rodriguez's two-run double highlighted Detroit's five-run third inning. Rodriguez homered off Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez (8-5) in the seventh. Chris Shelton led off the Tigers' big inning with a single and he tied the game at 1 when Brandon Inge doubled to the center field wall. Curtis Granderson followed with an RBI single that got past Houston first baseman Mike Lamb. Rodriguez then drove in Granderson and Placido Polanco, who had doubled. Rodriguez scored on a sacrifice fly by Magglio Ordonez that put the Tigers ahead 5-1.
Twins 8, Dodgers 2
MINNEAPOLIS -- Joe Mauer had four hits and a career-best five RBIs to lead Minnesota past Los Angeles. It was the Twins' fifth straight win and 15th in their last 17 games. Carlos Silva (4-8) survived a shaky start and lasted eight innings, maintaining Minnesota's momentum on the mound and beating rookie Chad Billingsley (0-1). Mauer, who leads the majors with a .377 average, also tied his career high with four hits -- two singles, a double and a triple. Nomar Garciaparra went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Los Angeles, which had a four-game winning streak end.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Brewers 6, Cubs 0
CHICAGO -- Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer and Chris Capuano won his fourth consecutive decision as the Milwaukee Brewers handed the Cubs their eighth straight home loss. It is the Cubs' longest losing streak at Wrigley Field since dropping 12 in a row to start the 1994 season. The Cubs, who have scored a total of two runs in their last three games, have lost 11 of 13 overall and have not won at home since beating Cincinnati on May 30. The Brewers bounced back after dropping two of three games against the Kansas City Royals, the team with the majors' worst record. After a two-out single by Geoff Jenkins in the first, Lee hit his 24th homer on an 0-2 pitch from Greg Maddux (7-8). Prince Fielder added two solo homers for the Brewers and Gabe Gross had a two-run shot.
Capuano (9-4) allowed seven hits, walked two and struck out four.
