AMERICAN LEAGUE

Athletics 6, White Sox 4

OAKLAND, Calif.

Dallas Braden won for the first time in 10 starts since his perfect game May 9, ending a five-game losing streak in Oakland’s victory over Chicago. Kurt Suzuki drove in three runs two days after receiving a $16 million, four-year contract, and Daric Barton hit a two-run single.

Mariners 4, Red Sox 2

SEATTLE

Michael Saunders lined a two-run single off reliever Hideki Okajima in the eighth inning to give Seattle the lead, pinch-hitter Milton Bradley’s squeeze bunt added another run and Seattle salvaged a split of the four-game series and sent Boston into the final stage of its 10-game West Coast trip eight games behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East.

Twins 10, Orioles 4

BALTIMORE

Jason Kubel hit his seventh career grand slam, Kevin Slowey took a five-hitter into the seventh inning and Minnesota beat Baltimore to end a run of four consecutive road series losses. Delmon Young and Jim Thome hit successive solo homers off Mark Hendrickson in the sixth for the Twins. Thome’s 12th of the season upped his career total to 576.

Tigers 6, Blue Jays 5

DETROIT

Ryan Raburn’s three-run double in the eighth inning capped a four-run rally that carried injury-depleted Detroit past Toronto for a split of their day-night doubleheader. In the opener, Lyle Overbay hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth off All-Star reliever Jose Valverde (1-2).

Rangers 6, Angels 4

ARLINGTON, Texas

Josh Hamilton drove in three runs while Tommy Hunter pitched into the seventh inning to remain unbeaten. AL West-leading Texas won three of four in the series to build a seven-game lead over the second-place Angels, who got a boost earlier in the day when they acquired right-hander Dan Haren in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

MIAMI

Wes Helms hit a bases-loaded RBI single with none out in the 11th inning and the Florida Marlins earned their fourth walkoff win of the week. The Braves loaded the bases four times, including in the 11th, and those situations produced only one run. They stranded 11 runners.
