Ben Francisco drove in a career-high four runs and the Cleveland Indians snapped a 10-game losing streak Thursday with a 13-2 victory over Tampa Bay, the Rays' fourth straight loss. Cleveland last lost 10 in a row in 1979 and avoided its longest streak in 77 years by hitting four home runs to overcome a 2-0 deficit. The last time the Indians lost 11 straight was 1931, on the way to a team-record 12 consecutive losses. Francisco and David Dellucci hit two-run homers in a five-run fifth against Andy Sonnanstine (10-4). Casey Blake hit a solo shot in a seven-run eighth off Gary Glover. Tampa Bay came in with baseball's best record (55-35), but lost for the 10th straight time in Cleveland. Twins 7, Tigers 6, 11 innings: At Detroit, Justin Morneau hit an 11th-inning homer, tying a career-high with his fifth hit, and Minnesota overcame a four-run deficit to beat Detroit. The Twins, who stopped a three-game losing streak, trailed 6-4 in the ninth but tied the score against closer Todd Jones on two singles, an error and Joe Mauer's sacrifice fly. Morneau homered off Freddy Dolsi (1-3) with one out in the 11th. He also doubled twice. Matt Guerrier (5-4) pitched two innings for the victory, the Twins' 17th in 22 games. Detroit, which had won three straight, was trying to move three games over .500 for the first time since its 24-36 start. Athletics 3, Mariners 2, 11 innings: At Oakland, California, Jack Cust and Kurt Suzuki hit solo homers in the ninth inning, and Emil Brown hit another solo shot in the 11th for Oakland. Brown's first career game-winning home run gave Caesar Jimenez (0-1) his first career decision, after Huston Street (2-2) pitched two scoreless innings. Cust led off the ninth with his 17th homer off Brandon Morrow. The Mariners' new closer got two strikeouts, but Suzuki hit his first career pinch-hit homer to send the game to extra innings. It was Morrow's first career blown save and spoiled a stellar performance by R.A. Dickey, who gave up four hits over seven scoreless innings. A's starter Greg Smith allowed four hits over six innings. Angels 11, Rangers 10, 11 innings: At Arlington, Texas, pinch-hitter Maicer Izturis drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 11th inning for Los Angeles against Texas. Tied at 10, Garret Anderson led off the 11th with a single off Jamey Wright (5-4) and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. Howie Kendrick, who hit his first two homers of the season in the game, struck out, before Izturis blooped a run-scoring single into shallow center. Francisco Rodriguez, who blew a save Wednesday night, walked Brandon Boggs leading off the bottom of the 11th. Rodriguez's throwing error on a sacrifice bunt put runners on first and second. Ian Kinsler popped out a bunt attempt, and Ramon Vazquez struck out before Michael Young grounded out for Rodriguez's 36th save. Josh Hamilton, Marlon Byrd and Max Ramirez homered for the Rangers, who had a season-high 20 hits and rallied from a six-run deficit to send the game into extra innings. Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5: At Toronto, Adam Lind drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth and Toronto completed a three-game sweep of Baltimore. Royals 4, White Sox 1: At Kansas City, Missouri, Mark Teahen's inside-the-park home run capped a four-run rally in the eighth inning as Kansas City avoided a three-game sweep to Chicago.
