MLB ROUNDUP Wednesday’s other games

AMERICAN LEAGUE

White Sox 15, Mariners 3

CHICAGO — Ken Griffey Jr. hit one of Chicago’s four homers to move into a tie with Sammy Sosa for fifth on the career list and the surging White Sox routed the Mariners. Griffey’s two-run drive in the second inning was his first since Chicago acquired him from Cincinnati on July 31, and No. 609 for his career. The 13-time All-Star was just 9-for-43 with four RBIs and no extra-base hits for the White Sox entering the game.

Twins 3, Athletics 1

MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Redmond drove in two runs for Minnesota, which survived some wildness by Francisco Liriano and handed Oakland its 11th straight series defeat.

Rangers 9, Tigers 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Kevin Millwood scattered six hits in his second complete game of the season, and Josh Hamilton hit one of five homers off Detroit starter Nate Robertson.

Orioles 11, Red Sox 6

BALTIMORE — Ramon Hernandez and Melvin Mora hit three-run homers, and the Orioles overcame an early deficit to avoid a three-game sweep.

Angels 5, Rays 4

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Given a final chance to extend his hitting streak to 23 games, Garret Anderson delivered for the Angels with a ninth-inning infield single that drove in the winning run.

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 1

TORONTO — Derek Jeter hit a two-run homer, Andy Pettitte pitched seven strong innings to snap a four-start winless streak.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Mets 6, Braves 3

NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey pitched a three-hitter for his first career complete game and David Wright homered to lead New York. Pelfrey (12-8) also delivered at the plate, hitting an RBI single in a five-run first inning, when the NL East leaders took advantage of two Atlanta errors.

Phillies 4, Nationals 0

PHILADELPHIA — Brett Myers tossed a nine-hitter for his first shutout in four years and Philadelphia handed Washington its 12th straight loss. Myers (6-10) struck out nine and walked one in his sixth start since being recalled from the minors on July 20. He earned his first shutout since a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 20, 2004, and his first complete game since he tossed a six-hitter in a 6-2 victory against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 20, 2006.

Brewers 5, Astros 2

MILWAUKEE — Manny Parra lasted five innings to earn his first victory in a month, and J.J. Hardy hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee. Rickie Weeks walked three times and scored three runs, and Prince Fielder had two sacrifice flies for the Brewers, who managed four hits.

Reds 2, Cubs 1

CHICAGO — Bronson Arroyo allowed three hits and a run in seven strong innings, and the Reds cooled off the Cubs.
