at New York 14, Chicago 3: The Yankees roughed up Mark Buehrle, who lasted only three-plus innings, giving up eight runs -- seven earned -- and eight hits. “Every pitch is up,” Manager Ozzie Guillen said. “The way I see it, the cutter is not cutting, the changeup is not changing and the fastball is not fast.”

at Toronto 7, Seattle 6: Bengie Molina wanted to end the game more than anybody after catching 14 innings. His run-scoring single in the bottom half of the inning did just that. “The first thing that I thought was finally, finally somebody wins,” he said.
*
at Detroit 6, Kansas City 0: Justin Verlander gave up two hits over seven innings to help the Tigers improve to 11-0 against the Royals this season. He retired 11 consecutive batters from the third to the seventh innings before Matt Stairs reached on catcher’s interference with one out in the seventh.
*
at Baltimore 8, Texas 1: Erik Bedard yielded one unearned run in seven innings to win his sixth consecutive start. He has a 1.07 earned-run average during his winning streak. The Rangers had been 4-0 against the Orioles this season, outscoring them, 27-5.
*
at Minnesota 6, Cleveland 2: Mixing a dominant fastball with a superb slider and changeup, Johan Santana gave up five hits in seven innings for the Twins. He retired 15 of the first 17 batters.
