MLB ROUNDUP Thursday’s other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tigers 12, Angels 0

DETROIT — Carlos Guillen homered twice and drove in five runs, and Jeremy Bonderman made a strong return from the disabled list to help Detroit rout Los Angeles. Magglio Ordonez had four hits and three RBIs to take over the major league lead with 45, two more than the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez. Gary Sheffield added a solo home run in the third as Detroit won for the fifth time in six games. Eight of the Tigers’ 13 hits were for extra bases. Bonderman (3-0), pitching for the first time since May 8 after missing two starts with a blister on his right middle finger, gave up four hits, walked five and struck out six in eight innings to win for the third time in as many starts. Ordonez drove in two runs with his second double of the game in the fourth inning to chase Ervin Santana (3-6), who gave up eight runs and seven hits in 32⁄3 innings.

Devil Rays 13, Mariners 12

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carl Crawford had three RBIs and triggered a seven-run third inning for Tampa Bay. Seven of Tampa Bay’s nine starters drove in at least one run. Jae Seo (3-4) gave up seven runs and 13 hits over 5-plus innings to earn the win, but the bullpen nearly gave it away. Closer Al Reyes came on in the ninth with the Devil Rays ahead 13-10. He allowed a two-run homer to Ichiro Suzuki, but struck out Jose Guillen swinging with a man on to end the game. Mariners starter Horacio Ramirez left after the second inning with tightness in his left shoulder. He gave up three runs and three hits. Reliever Sean White (1-1) allowed seven runs and six hits in 1-3 of an inning, walking three.

Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4, 10 innings

BALTIMORE — Alex Rios homered off struggling Danys Baez in the 10th inning, and Frank Thomas hit a milestone shot for Toronto. The Blue Jays trailed 4-2 in the seventh before Thomas hit his 493rd career home run, tying Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff for 21st on the career list. The solo shot left him two homers short of matching Edgar Martinez for most by a designated hitter (243). The Blue Jays pulled even in the eighth before Rios connected against Baez (0-4).

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Braves 2, Mets 1

ATLANTA — John Smoltz became baseball’s first pitcher with 200 wins and 150 saves, recording his 200th win with another triumph over one of his best friends. Smoltz beat Tom Glavine with seven shutout innings and Matt Diaz homered for Atlanta, which won two of three in the series. Making his third start of the season against Glavine, his Atlanta teammate from 1988-2002, Smoltz (7-2) became the NL’s first seven-game winner. The 40-year-old Smoltz gave up seven hits without a walk and struck out five. Glavine (5-2) also pitched well, giving up only five hits and two runs in six innings for the Mets, who were denied their sixth straight series win.

Nationals 4, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Red-hot Dmitri Young went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Mike Bacsik got his first win in almost three years and Washington won for the fourth time in five games. Cristian Guzman homered and the Nationals won three of the four games in the series for the franchise’s first winning trip to Cincinnati since the Montreal Expos took two of three on Sept. 26-28, 2003.
