MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP \ Monday's other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Red Sox 7, Yankees 3
BOSTON -- David Ortiz hit a three-run homer to ruin Johnny Damon's return to Fenway Park. Mark Loretta's single broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth and Ortiz followed with his 11th homer. Booed each time he came to the plate, Damon, left for New York as a free agent after last season, went 0-for-4. Reliever Mike Timlin (3-0) got the win and Jonathan Papelbon retired the side in order in the ninth with two strikeouts. Aaron Small (0-1) took the loss after going 10-0 for the Yankees last season. Boston starter Tim Wakefield allowed a hit and a walk through three innings before falling behind 3-1 in the fourth. The Yankees loaded the bases with no outs and Hideki Matsui's groundout drove in one run and Robinson Cano singled in two. Boston tied it in the fourth on an RBI single by Manny Ramirez and Trot Nixon's RBI-groundout.
Tigers 3, Royals 2
DETROIT -- Jeremy Bonderman threw eight shutout innings and Detroit won its fourth straight. Magglio Ordonez and Craig Monroe homered for the Tigers, who have outscored their opponents 36-3 in winning the first four games of an eight-game homestand. They improved to 3-0 against the Royals this year, outscoring Kansas City 20-6. Matt Stairs and Mark Teahen had RBI singles in the ninth to get Kansas City within one, but Todd Jones got Angel Berroa to ground out with runners on first and third to finish up his fourth save.
Blue Jays 9, Orioles 7
BALTIMORE -- Troy Glaus went 4-for-5 with two homers, two doubles and four RBIs to lead Toronto. Glaus hit a solo shot in the second inning and erased a 3-2 deficit with a three-run drive in the seventh. It was his second multi-homer game of the season and 20th of his career. He also scored four runs, the last on a three-run homer by Lyle Overbay in the ninth.
Rangers 3, Devil Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Kameron Loe and two relievers combined on a four-hitter for Texas. Loe (1-2) retired the first 14 batters before giving up a single to Travis Lee with two outs in the fifth. He also allowed a leadoff double to Sean Burroughs in the sixth and singles to Damon Hollins and Lee in the seventh. Tampa Bay's Seth McClung (1-4) held the Rangers to four hits -- one a homer by Rod Barajas -- until Mark DeRosa doubled leading off the eighth.
Mariners 8, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kenji Johjima had three hits, three RBIs and a home run to lead Seattle to its third straight victory. Six Mariners starters had at least two hits and the defense was spectacular in support of Joel Pineiro (3-2), who tossed his ninth career complete game and cruised after a five-run sixth. He gave up nine hits without a walk or a strikeout. Jose Lopez and Matt Lawton each had three hits, Yuniesky Betancourt went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and Richie Sexson homered for his 1,000th career hit.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Reds 6, Cardinals 1
CINCINNATI -- Bronson Arroyo stayed unbeaten in Cincinnati by pitching a four-hitter for the second complete game of his career. Rich Aurilia hit a solo homer, and Felipe Lopez broke an 0-for-17 slump with a run-scoring single and a bases-loaded single that drove in three runs all together. Every Reds starter except Arroyo had a hit off left-hander Mark Mulder (2-1), who was denied his 100th career win.
Braves 2, Rockies 0
ATLANTA -- Tim Hudson pitched the second one-hitter of his career and drove in the first Atlanta run. Rockies pitcher Jason Jennings had the only hit off Hudson, a single to right with two outs in the third inning. The Braves right-hander retired the last 17 Colorado hitters. Hudson (2-2) walked three, struck out five and threw 103 pitches in his second complete game of the season. Jennings (1-2) certainly pitched well enough to win, allowing seven hits and both Atlanta runs in seven innings. Hudson also had an RBI single in the second.
Phillies 8, Marlins 5
MIAMI -- Pat Burrell homered for the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to cap a comeback against Florida starter Dontrelle Willis. The Phillies rallied from a 5-1 deficit in the seventh, scoring the tying run on a gaffe by rookie second baseman Dan Uggla. It was a hero-to-goat transition for Uggla, who hit a two-run homer and scored from second base on a groundout. Willis (1-2) gave up eight earned runs, matching his career high, in 71/3 innings. He hit three batters and threw two wild pitches. Tom Gordon pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save in as many chances, and Rheal Cormier (1-0) earned the win by getting the only batter he faced to hit into a double play.
Mets 2, Nationals 1
NEW YORK -- Endy Chavez scored on Washington reliever Gary Majewski's throwing error in the ninth inning to give the Mets the win. Chavez was brought in to run for 47-year-old Julio Franco, who walked with one out in the inning. Chavez moved to second on a single to left by Jose Reyes. When Paul Lo Duca hit a bouncer back to Majewski (1-2), it looked as if the Nationals might be able to turn a double play and send the game into extra innings. But Majewski's throw to second was high, glancing off the outstretched glove of shortstop Royce Clayton and into center field. Chavez slowed slightly as he approached third, then took off for home with the winning run. New York's Billy Wagner (2-0) struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth.
Brewers 4, Astros 2
MILWAUKEE -- Bill Hall had three hits for the third straight game and Damian Miller hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth inning for the Brewers. The victory, Milwaukee's sixth in its last seven games, was tempered by the loss of Tomo Ohka, who left the game after the fifth inning with a right shoulder cuff strain. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday. Hall homered in the sixth. He has nine hits in his last 14 at-bats. Matt Wise (2-1) pitched the eighth for the win, and Derrick Turnbow struck out the side in the ninth for his ninth save in nine chances. Dan Wheeler (0-1) took the loss in relief of Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez.
