Red Sox's record-tying inning paves way to 13-3 rout

Associated Press

The Boston Red Sox tied a modern major-league record with 12 runs in an inning before making an out and Tim Wakefield won his fourth straight decision, 13-3 over visiting Cleveland.

Jason Bay hit a three-run homer and an RBI double and four other batters had two-run hits in the sixth when the Red Sox obliterated a 2-1 deficit and broke the AL record of 11 runs before an out was recorded.

They did it all without three of their regulars —- David Ortiz , Kevin Youkilis and Jacoby Ellsbury.

Orioles 5, Twins 4: Lou Montanez singled in Melvin Mora with the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning, and host Baltimore defeated Minnesota.

A's 9, Rangers 4: Jack Cust hit a grand slam, and Matt Holliday added a three-run shot to help host Oakland beat Texas. Bobby Crosby had three hits and drove in a run as the A's snapped a four-game losing streak and got starter Trevor Cahill his first major league win.

Royals 3, Mariners 1: Right-hander Brian Bannister was as good as he's been all season, working six scoreless innings to outpitch Jarrod Washburn as host Kansas City extended its winning streak to six games by beating Seattle.

Rays 8, Yankees 6: Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria hit back-to-back homers off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning, and visiting Tampa Bay handed New York its fifth straight loss.

White Sox 6, Tigers 0: Mark Buehrle was perfect into the seventh inning and allowed one hit over eight innings, leading host Chicago past Detroit.
