Asdrubal Cabrera, Lou Marson and Michael Brantley each hit RBI triples for Cleveland, which became the third team this season to hit three triples in a game. Smyly (2-2) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings. Angels 6, Mariners 1: Mark Trumbo homered twice, going 4 for 4 with four RBIs, and Garrett Richards pitched seven innings for his first major league win as Los Angeles beat Seattle. Blue Jays 9, White Sox 5: Colby Rasmus went 5 for 5 with a homer to help Ricky Romero earn his seventh win as Toronto beat Chicago.

Humber (2-3) lasted only five innings, giving up seven hits, five runs and four walks. Royals 1, Twins 0: Bruce Chen outdueled Francisco Liriano to make a lone run scored in the second inning stand up, giving Kansas City a win over Minnesota.
