American League

Rays 7, Twins 4

Evan Longoria had three hits and three RBIs, and Sean Rodriguez homered among his three hits, leading Tampa Bay.

Longoria's two-run single highlighted a five-run seventh inning for the Rays, who won their first series in nearly a month. Tampa Bay starter James Shields (7-8) earned his first win in eight starts, pitching six innings while allowing four runs and eight hits.

Angels 11, Royals 0

Torii Hunter celebrated his fourth career All-Star selection with two homers and tied a career high with seven RBIs to lead Los Angeles.

Joel Pineiro (9-6) won his sixth straight start with seven solid innings, and Paul McAnulty added a two-run homer in his Angels debut.

Athletics 3, Indians 1

Vin Mazzaro pitched into the eighth inning and upstaged Cleveland All-Star Fausto Carmona.

Mazarro (4-2) won his second straight start, allowing just the one run on seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. He tied the longest outing of his career set in June 2009 against Baltimore.

Mariners 8, Tigers 1

Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman each hit a three-run homer, All-Star Cliff Lee fell an inning short of another complete game and Seattle beat the Tigers.

Lee, who had been trying to match the longest streak in the big leagues since Roy Halladay completed four games in a row in April 2008, allowed one run on nine hits and a walk in eight innings.

White Sox 5, Rangers 3

Alexei Ramirez hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning to lead Chicago.

Paul Konerko and Carlos Quentin hit back-to-back doubles in the sixth to tie it at 3 for Chicago. Two outs later, Ramirez lined a homer off starter Scott Feldman (5-8).

National League

Pirates 8, Phillies 5

Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young drove in two runs each during a six-run seventh inning, and the last-place Pirates beat the Phillies for the third time in four games.

Pirates rookie Pedro Alvarez started the rally with his second homer in as many games, making a loser of Jose Contreras (3-3).

The defending NL champion Phillies couldn't hold a 5-2 lead in losing their fourth in five games. Evan Meek (4-2), a former Rule 5 pick selected earlier in the day as the Pirates' lone All-Star representative, won it by retiring the Phillies in the seventh.

Rockies 4, Giants 3 (15)

The Rockies blew a three-run lead in the eighth inning, then watched Todd Helton rescue them with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 15th against San Francisco.

Dexter Fowler led off the inning with a triple off the wall in left-center. Guillermo Mota (0-3) intentionally walked Jonathan Herrera and Carlos Gonzalez, and Helton drove the first pitch he saw to left field, allowing Fowler to score easily.

Randy Flores (2-0) pitched the 15th after Esmil Rogers worked four scoreless innings.

Reds 13, Cubs 3

Drew Stubbs hit three of the Cincinnati's season-high seven home runs.

The Reds had four of the homers during an eight-run seventh inning, all coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly (3-7) retired the first two batters. Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and Jonny Gomes added a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens then surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller, and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time.

He also hit a solo home run in the third inning and another solo shot in the ninth.

Cardinals 7, Brewers 1

Adam Wainwright threw a five-hitter and added a three-run double off fellow first-time All-Star Yovani Gallardo, and the Cardinals coasted to an easy win.

Gallardo (8-4) left in the third inning with a side injury, after allowing six runs in his shortest outing of the season. Only one of them was earned.

Dodgers 3, Diamondbacks 1

Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer off reliever Aaron Heilman in the eighth inning and the Dodgers went on to take two of three from the Diamondbacks.

Padres 3, Astros 2

Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a bases-loaded single up the middle with one out in the ninth inning to help the Padres take three of four from the struggling Astros.

Marlins 3, Braves 2

Dan Uggla homered and drove in all three Florida runs, Ricky Nolasco pitched seven strong innings and the Marlins avoided a sweep in the three-game set.
