Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano supplied the early runs as the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-6 in the American League Wednesday. Teixeira doubled twice and drove in three runs, and Cano hit a two-run shot as New York ended a seven-game winning streak by Angels pitcher Joel Pineiro. Pineiro (10-7) was 7-0 with a 2.51 ERA in his previous eight starts, but 10 of his first 21 batters got hits as the Yankees built a 6-0 lead. Pitching on 10 days' rest, New York's Javier Vazquez (8-7) nearly squandered a six-run cushion, withering quickly in the hot conditions but he hung on long enough for his 150th career win, and to become the third active pitcher to beat all 30 major league teams. Tigers 4, Rangers 1: In Detroit, Max Scherzer threw seven scoreless innings to guide Detroit to a win over Texas that snapped a seven-game losing skid. Scherzer (7-7) threw a career-high 123 pitches. Gerald Laird hit a two-run homer for the Tigers. Colby Lewis (9-6) allowed four runs over seven innings for the AL West-leading Rangers, who lost their first game in four. Detroit stranded eight runners and Texas left six on base. Athletics 6, Red Sox 4: In Oakland, Matt Watson hit his first career homer and Jack Cust added a two-run shot that helped Oakland deefeat Boston and win its third straight series. Gio Gonzalez (9-6) pitched six innings and Rajai Davis hit a two-run single for the A's, who have won seven of eight to move above .500 for the first time since June 11.

He allowed five runs in four-plus innings. Twins 6, Indians 0: In Minneapolis, Francisco Liriano worked out of trouble while throwing seven effective innings as Minnesota salvaged the final game of a frustrating series, snapping Cleveland's six-game winning streak. Liriano (8-7) allowed 10 baserunners but stayed poised, and benefited from three double plays. He struck out eight, including Carlos Santana with runners at the corners to finish the third inning.

Greinke (6-9), the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, allowed two runs in eight innings, striking out nine without a walk.
