Monday’s other Major league baseball games


AMERICAN LEAGUE

Red Sox 2, Twins 1, 11 innings

BOSTON

Pinch-runner Jose Iglesias raced around from first to score on close play at the plate on Carl Crawford’s one-out double off the left-field wall in the bottom of the 11th inning, lifting Boston. Jed Lowrie drew a one-out walk against Jim Hoey (0-1) and Iglesias pinch ran. Crawford lofted one off The Wall and Iglesias slid in just ahead of the throw from short left by shortstop Matt Tolbert, knocking catcher Rene Rivera over as he scored.

Athletics 7, Rangers 2

ARLINGTON, Texas

Trevor Cahill pitched seven strong innings to earn his sixth straight win to start the season and Josh Willingham homered and drove in five runs. Cahill (6-0) matched the major league lead with his sixth victory, and equaled his career best by winning his seventh consecutive decision. The 23-year-old right-hander struck out seven, walked one and allowed five hits. He became Oakland’s first 6-0 starter in 21 years.

Tigers 10, Blue Jays 5

TORONTO

Max Scherzer won his sixth consecutive decision while Victor Martinez hit a two-run homer.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Phillies 6, Marlins 4

MIAMI

The Philadelphia Phillies turned four double plays behind Joe Blanton, who came off the disabled list to pitch five innings and earn his first victory. Blanton (1-1) allowed eight hits but left with a 6-3 lead. He made his first start since April 23 after being sidelined with an impingement in his throwing elbow. The Phillies won for the 18th time in their past 21 games in Miami. The Marlins’ start matches the best in franchise history, but they’ve lost four of their past five games to fall three behind the NL East-leading Phillies (23-11), who have the best record in the majors.

Reds 6, Astros 1

HOUSTON

Travis Wood hit a three-run homer and pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning to lead Cincinnati.
