MLB ROUNDUP \ Monday’s other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Rangers 8, Tigers 3

DETROIT — Marlon Byrd drove in three runs and the Texas Rangers ended Jeremy Bonderman’s unbeaten streak at 17 starts. Bonderman (8-1) allowed four runs — two earned — and seven hits in six innings. He struck out a season-high nine, but walked four, matching the total in his last five starts combined, and made a key third-inning error. Bonderman’s last loss came in Minnesota on Sept. 10. His unbeaten streak ended one short of Bobo Newsom’s 67-year-old team record. Kameron Loe (4-6) had his third straight strong outing since giving up nine runs in 22⁄3 innings against Detroit on June 7.

White Sox 5, Devil Rays 4

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rookie Andy Gonzalez went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs to help the struggling White Sox snap a five-game losing streak. Jim Thome, Paul Konerko and Josh Fields also drove in runs for the White Sox, who finished with 12 hits, two shy of their season high. Left-hander John Danks (4-6) allowed four runs and four hits in five innings to win for the time in more than a month. Bobby Jenks earned his 19th save in 21 opportunities with a perfect ninth.

Blue Jays 8, Twins 5

MINNEAPOLIS — Matt Stairs hit Toronto’s third homer of the game in the eighth inning, a two-run shot that broke a tie. Roy Halladay (9-2) won his fifth straight decision and the Blue Jays got consecutive homers from Vernon Wells and Alex Rios in extending their winning streak to a season-high four games.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Braves 4, Nationals 1

ATLANTA — Brian McCann’s run-scoring single gave the Braves their first lead in a week, and he added a three-run homer. The Braves snapped a five-game losing streak, their longest of the season. The streak included four shutout losses. McCann’s second four-RBI game of the season helped Tim Hudson (7-5) win for the first time since May 30. Bob Wickman got three outs for his 13th save in 16 chances.

Mets 2, Cardinals 1, 11 innings

NEW YORK — Shawn Green hit a leadoff home run in the 11th inning and New York beat St. Louis in the Cardinals’ first visit to Shea Stadium since winning Game 7 of the NL championship series last October. The Mets won their fourth in a row despite getting only three hits. The NL East leaders have won seven straight regular season games against St. Louis overall. Green connected for his seventh homer, sending a full-count pitch from Russ Springer (3-1) off the scoreboard in right-center field. It was the Mets’ first hit since Carlos Gomez homered in the third inning. Aaron Heilman (6-3) pitched one inning for the win. Last fall, he allowed Yadier Molina’s ninth-inning homer that gave the Cardinals a 3-1 win and sent them to the World Series.

Brewers 6, Astros 1

MILWAUKEE — Ben Sheets won his fifth consecutive decision, Prince Fielder hit his NL-leading 27th homer. The NL Central-leading Brewers have won 10 of 12 since being no-hit by the Tigers’ Justin Verlander on June 12. The Astros, on the last leg of a nine-game road trip, have lost five of their last seven. Sheets (9-3) allowed five hits and three walks in six innings. He’s allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last 13 starts and has won five straight decisions for the first time since 2001, his rookie year. The two-time All-Star is 4-0 with a 1.66 ERA in five June starts.
