Gardner scored on Jeter's hit to make it 2-0.
Teixeira homered leading off the fifth against Beckett (3-2) and Berkman followed a walk and hit batter with a one-out RBI doubled down the third-base line to make it 4-1.
Cano was hit twice in the fifth, once by Beckett and again by catcher Kevin Cash, whose throw to third hit him in the helmet as he was diving back to the bag. Cano jumped up and raced home. Jeter added a two-run double to right-center.
Beckett allowed seven runs and 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings, his worst start of four since coming off the disabled list on Jul 23.
Nick Swisher took a likely homer away from Adrian Beltre with a catch above the right field wall to end the second inning.
NOTES: Red Sox manager Terry Francona said 2B Dustin Pedroia (broken left foot) ran the bases a couple of times and had "a really good day." He said Pedroia still has not run at full speed. ... The three other players to hit at least 25 homers in first eight seasons are Eddie Mathews, Darryl Strawberry and Albert Pujols, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Jacoby Ellsbury went 0 for 4 and is 0 for 16 since coming off the DL. ... A-Rod became 10th player with 1,500 runs, 2,500 hits, 200 HRs and 300 SB.
