AMERICAN LEAGUE

Orioles 6, Yankees 1

BALTIMORE — Garrett Olson pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Nick Markakis went 3-for-4 with a home run, and Baltimore ended the Yankees’ five-game winning streak. Aubrey Huff also homered for the Orioles, who snapped a five-game skid that began with successive defeats in New York. Markakis is 9-for-11 with two doubles and a homer against Darrell Rasner (3-1), who gave up one run and five hits in six innings.

Blue Jays 7, Royals 2

TORONTO — Shaun Marcum won for the first time in four starts, Gregg Zaun hit a two-run homer and Toronto completed its first four-game sweep of Kansas City. Marcum (5-3) gave up two runs—one earned— and five hits in 71‚Ñ3 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.64. He struck out six and walked one. The Kansas City, Mo., native is 3-1 with an 1.09 ERA in seven career games against his hometown team.

Rays 7, Rangers 3

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Scott Kazmir won his fourth straight start, striking out 10 in seven innings to lead the AL East-leading Rays over the Rangers.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Braves 7, Diamondbacks 3

ATLANTA — Mark Teixeira drove in four runs to help the Braves beat Brandon Webb and the Diamondbacks. Webb (9-2) allowed seven runs — four earned — and a season-high 10 hits in 41‚Ñ3 innings, his shortest start since Oct. 1, 2006. He won his first nine decisions before losing 3-1 at Florida last Wednesday.

Cubs 3, Dodgers 1

CHICAGO — Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez homered to back Ryan Dempster. Lee hit a two-run drive in the first inning off Chad Billingsley (4-6) for his 250th home run, and Ramirez added a solo homer against Scott Proctor in the eighth.

Brewers 4, Nationals 3, 11 innings

WASHINGTON — Pinch-hitter Gabe Kapler singled home a run in the 11th inning. Prince Fielder led off the 11th with an opposite-field double to left against an exaggerated shift, then moved to third on Corey Hart’s sacrifice bunt. After Russell Branyan struck out, Kapler lined the first pitch from Saul Rivera (3-2) to center for an RBI single.

Marlins 7, Mets 3

NEW YORK — Willie Randolph kept his job — for now. After their embattled manager had a much-anticipated meeting with ownership Monday, the Mets got another ineffective outing from Mike Pelfrey and fizzled on offense following a strong start.

Phillies 20, Rockies 5

PHILADELPHIA — Chase Utley drove in a career-best six runs, Jamie Moyer had a season-high seven strikeouts in seven efficient innings and the Phillies pounded the Rockies.
