SEATTLE — After each team scored five runs in the 14th inning to break open a scoreless tie, Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios hit RBI singles in the 16th and the Chicago White Sox stopped an eight-game losing streak by beating Seattle 7-5 Wednesday. According to the Mariners, with information from Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first game in major league history when each team scored five or more runs in the game when it was 0-0 through the ninth. Addison Reed (2-0) got the win despite allowing Kyle Seager's tying grand slam with two outs in the 14th. Seager became the first player to hit a tying slam in extra innings. Hector Noesi (0-1) took the loss. Astros 11, Orioles 7: The Houston Astros hit six home runs and won for the seventh time in eight games, beating Baltimore. Jason Castro, Carlos Pena and J.D. Martinez each had two-run homers, and Jose Altuve, Matt Dominguez and Marwin Gonzalez added solo shots as the Astros came one home run shy of a single-game franchise record for home runs. The Astros tagged Freddy Garcia (2-3) for four homers and reached reliever Steve Johnson for two in the fourth inning. Dallas Keuchel (3-2) got the win. J.J. Hardy and Matt Wieters homered for the Orioles. Royals 4, Twins 1: Jeremy Guthrie lasted six shaky innings and the Kansas City bullpen held off Minnesota Twins the rest of the way, wrapping up a victory that ended the Royals' franchise-record 11-game home losing streak.
The Twins jumped out to a first-inning lead off Guthrie (6-3), but the right-hander escaped a bases-loaded jam with the help of a nice catch by first baseman Eric Hosmer to prevent any additional damage. Greg Holland put the first two runners aboard in the ninth before striking out Justin Morneau, Ryan Doumit and Chris Parmelee for his 10th save of the season. P.J. Walters (2-1) took the loss. Yankees 6, Indians 4: CC Sabathia retired the first 14 batters and pitched his first complete game of the season, leading the New York Yankees over Cleveland for a three-game sweep. Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner homered for the Yankees. Sabathia (6-4) gave up seven hits and struck out nine. Hafner, who was Sabathia's teammate in Cleveland when the Indians beat the Yankees in the 2007 AL division series, hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Corey Kluber (3-4). Rays 3, Tigers 0: Matt Joyce hit a sacrifice fly to break a scoreless tie in the ninth inning, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays over Detroit. Evan Longoria added an RBI single later in the ninth off Doug Fister (5-3), who pitched well again for the Tigers but got no offensive support. Alex Cobb allowed five hits in 7 2-3 scoreless innings for Tampa Bay, and Joel Peralta (1-2) struck out Prince Fielder with two on to end the eighth. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 12th save in 17 chances. In another outing Texas beat Boston 3-2. — Agencies
