Kevin Youkilis homered in the seventh inning to break open a scoreless game as the Boston Red Sox beat Baltimore 8-2 Saturday to extend the Orioles' losing streak to 10 games. Jon Lester (7-2) gave up four hits and three walks in 6 1-3 innings to win his seventh straight decision, matching the longest unbeaten run of his career. The left-hander is 11-0 with a 2.06 ERA lifetime against the Orioles. Jeremy Guthrie (3-6) was nearly as effective for Baltimore. But after allowing only two hits through six innings, his first pitch of the seventh inning was driven by Youkilis into the left-field seats. Boston added a run against Guthrie in the eighth when newcomer Josh Reddick tripled and scored on a single by Marco Scutaro. Blue Jays 3, Yankees 2, 14 innings: At Toronto, Aaron Hill singled home the winning run in the 14th inning as Toronto edged New York. Facing right-hander Chad Gaudin (0-3), New York's sixth pitcher of the game, Edwin Encarnacion led off the bottom of the 14th with a walk, then took second on Fred Lewis' sacrifice bunt. Hill followed with a single to center, scoring Encarnacion without a throw. Vernon Wells and Alex Gonzalez hit solo home runs for the Blue Jays, who lead the major leagues with 96 homers, and Casey Janssen (4-0) pitched two innings for the win. Derek Jeter hit a two-run homer for the Yankees. Rangers 6, Rays 1: At Arlington, Texas, Tommy Hunter pitched a five-hitter in his season debut and Josh Hamilton homered as Texas downed Tampa Bay. Hunter (1-0), called up from Triple-A Oklahoma earlier in the day, struck out four and didn't issue a walk. He retired 14 of the last 16 he faced in his second career complete game. Hunter's other complete game came against Seattle on Sept. 13, 2009. Hamilton continued his hot June with a two-run blast in the first, and is 10 for 22 this month to raise his average from .281 to .299. Angels 11, Mariners 2: At Seattle, Torii Hunter had three hits, three RBIs and keyed a decisive six-run sixth inning to lead Los Angeles past Seattle. The Angels won for the ninth time in 11 games, and improved to 5-1 on a 14-game road trip – the team's longest trek in eight years. Tigers 4, Royals 2: At Kansas City, Missouri, Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings and Miguel Cabrera hit his 17th home run of the season as Detroit beat Kansas City. Indians 3, White Sox 1: At Chicago, Austin Kearns had an RBI single in the fourth inning and scored on a balk, and Mitch Talbot pitched seven strong innings to lead Cleveland over Chicago. Twins 4, Athletics 3: At Oakland, California, Matt Tolbert hit a tiebreaking two-out single in the ninth inning to drive in pinch-runner J.J. Hardy for Minnesota.
