On the day Alex Rodriguez passed Mickey Mantle on the major league home run list, the New York Yankees were left mourning Bobby Murcer - the former star who replaced Mantle in the lineup long ago. Rodriguez's 537th home run moved him into 13th place, and Derek Jeter hit No. 200 of his career to help the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-4 in the American League on Saturday. New York right-hander Darrell Rasner (5-7) gave up four runs in the first but shut out the Blue Jays over the next four innings to win. Toronto's Jesse Litsch (8-6) gave up eight runs - three earned - and seven hits in 2 2-3 innings. Twins 6, Tigers 5: At Detroit, Joe Mauer hit a home run and Brendan Harris homered and had a season-high four RBIs to help Minnesota beat Detroit for the third straight day. Harris singled in the Twins' first two runs and opened the seventh inning with a solo shot off Tigers starter Nate Robertson (6-8) that give the Twins the lead for good. Mauer, the starting catcher for the AL All-Star team, added a two-run shot later in the inning. Minnesota's Scott Baker (6-2) allowed four runs and six hits in seven-plus innings and won for the fourth time in five starts. The Twins improved to 21-6 since June 13, the majors' best record in that span. Red Sox 12, Orioles 1: At Boston, Kevin Youkilis had a career-high six RBIs, thanks to his first grand slam, and Tim Wakefield pitched seven innings of two-hit ball to lead Boston over Baltimore. J.D. Drew and Manny Ramirez homered on consecutive pitches in the first inning, and Youkilis cleared the bases in the third when the Red Sox scored seven times to chase Radhames Liz (3-2). Youkilis also added a sacrifice fly in the fourth and a run-scoring infield single in the eighth. Wakefield (6-6) retired his last 13 batters after walking Adam Jones with one out in the third inning. Jones went to second on a passed ball - the only base runner besides Ramon Hernandez, who hit a solo homer, to get that far against the Boston starter. Indians 8, Rays 4: At Cleveland, Ryan Garko drove in five runs to help Matt Ginter earn his first major league win in more than four years, and Cleveland handed Tampa Bay its season-high sixth straight loss. All-Star Grady Sizemore hit his AL-leading 23rd homer for Cleveland, which has dominated the Rays in 12 successive home games since 2006. Ginter (1-0) gave up five hits over five innings, and tied a career high with five strikeouts in his first big league start since Sept. 18, 2005. Matt Garza (7-5) gave up seven runs and 11 hits in five innings. White Sox 9, Rangers 7: At Arlington, Texas, John Danks, the Chicago left-hander who was once Texas' top pitching prospect, struck out eight in 7 2-3 innings to help beat Texas. Royals 5, Mariners 4: At Kansas City, Missouri, David DeJesus hit a two-run homer with two out in the ninth and Kansas City rallied to beat Seattle for a third straight win. Angels 4, Athletics 1: At Oakland, California, Ervin Santana allowed five hits over seven scoreless innings, Howie Kendrick had two hits and an RBI, and Oakland beat Los Angeles.
