AMERICAN LEAGUE

Orioles 16, Angels 6

BALTIMORE — Felix Pie became the fourth player in Orioles history to hit for the cycle, and Baltimore tied club records for extra-base hits and doubles in a rout of Los Angeles. Pie doubled in the first inning, homered in the third, then rounded out the feat during a seven-run seventh. He opened the inning by beating out an infield single, then tripled to drive in two runs and reach a career high for hits in a game. It was the seventh cycle in the majors this season and the second this week. Troy Tulowitzki of Colorado did it Monday against the Chicago Cubs.

Tigers 1, Royals 0

DETROIT — Brandon Inge’s home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Detroit the victory. Inge hit a 2-1 pitch from Roman Colon (1-2) into the bullpens in left field for his 23rd home run. Brandon Lyon (6-4) picked up the win with one inning of relief as the Tigers extended their scoreless streak to 21 innings.

Blue Jays 5, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Toronto’s Roy Halladay gave up two runs over eight innings for his 13th win. Halladay (13-5) was 0-2 in three previous starts against Tampa Bay this season. The right-hander allowed eight hits and struck out six in pitching at least eight innings for the fifth time in his last six starts.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Phillies 3, Braves 2

ATLANTA — Ryan Howard led off the ninth inning with a homer and Philadelphia won its fourth straight game. Chase Utley hit a two-run shot for the Phillies and Shane Victorino put on a dazzling defensive show in center field, chasing down one long drive after another to keep the Braves from extending their winning streak to a season-best six games. Howard won it with his 28th homer off Rafael Soriano (1-4) to break a 2-all tie. Philadelphia extended its lead over Atlanta in the NL East to six games.

Marlins 6, Rockies 5

MIAMI — Josh Johnson allowed one hit and had a career-high 11 strikeouts in 71‚Ñ3 innings for Florida. The Marlins won for the seventh time in eight games and climbed within two games of the Rockies, who lead the NL wild card.

Mets 3, Giants 0

NEW YORK — Bobby Parnell pitched six crisp innings in his second major league start for New York. Parnell (3-4) limited the Giants to three singles and struck out seven, including four straight overlapping his final two innings. The right-hander recorded just seven outs in his first start, a 3-1 loss at San Diego last Saturday. Angel Pagan connected against Barry Zito (8-11) for New York’s first leadoff homer of the season. Jeff Francoeur added a two-out RBI double in the fourth and Gary Sheffield tacked on a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Nationals 2, Reds 0

CINCINNATI — Rafael Belliard and Wil Nieves hit solo home runs to back Garrett Mock’s seven solid innings and Washington snapped a three-game losing streak. Mock (2-4), making his sixth start since being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on July 16, retired 10 consecutive batters in one stretch on the way to his second win in his last two starts. He allowed six hits with four walks and six strikeouts.
