RESULTS
* at Cleveland 2, Chicago 1: C.C. Sabathia pitched eight overpowering innings and the Indians got only one hit -- a leadoff double in the first -- in the win. The Indians’ only hit was Grady Sizemore’s double in the first off Jose Contreras (1-2). Cleveland took advantage of three errors and some walks to take two of three in the series.
* at Seattle 14, Texas 6: Jose Vidro homered in his first two at-bats and Ichiro Suzuki had four hits for the Mariners. Suzuki led off with his 21st career home run and one out later Vidro connected for a solo shot, quickly erasing a 2-0 deficit. Vidro then hit a three-run homer in the second inning, the first of Seattle’s two four-run innings.
* Tampa Bay 6, at Minnesota 4: Dioner Navarro hit a tiebreaking double off Joe Nathan in the ninth inning and the Devil Rays split their four-game series with the Twins at Minneapolis. Navarro’s second hit of the game broke a 4-4 tie and sent Nathan (1-1) to his first loss since Sept. 6, 2005. Nathan came on in the ninth with the score tied. Akinori Iwamura greeted him with a double and scored on Navarro’s double. Carlos Pena’s run-scoring single made it 6-4.
* at Toronto 2, Detroit 1: John McDonald drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single and Josh Towers recovered from a shaky outing with seven-plus strong innings. McDonald broke a 1-1 tie with a two-out single that brought in Royce Clayton, who ran through third base coach Brian Butterfield’s stop sign and scored without a play at the plate.
* at Oakland 5, New York 4: Marco Scutaro hit a three-run homer with two out in the ninth inning.
* Kansas City at Baltimore, ppd. rain: No makeup date was announced.
