 Yankees 6, Orioles 2
Right-hander Michael Pineda struck out a career-high 16 hitters over
seven dominant innings and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore
Orioles.
Pineda (5-0) came within two strikeouts of the team record set by
left-hander Ron Guidry in 1978, as he confounded Baltimore hitters
with a mix of fastballs and sliders. He allowed one run and six hits
and might have had a chance at tying Guidry but was at 111 pitches
through seven.

Mets 7, Phillies 4
Bartolo Colon became the major league leader in wins as the New York

innings, giving up four runs on eight hits while striking out six
and walking none as the Mets (20-11) posted their sixth straight
series win against their National League East rival.

Mariners 4, Athletics 3 Felix Hernandez gave up two home runs to the

for the first time in his 10-year career. He struck out six,
including his 2,000th career strikeout.

Angels 3, Astros 1
Right-hander Garrett Richards and three relievers combined to permit
only one hit as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Houston Astros.
Richards (3-1) had a no-hitter for 6 1/3 innings, retired 17 of 18
batters between the first and sixth innings and finished with 10
strikeouts, one less than his career best. In 6 2/3 innings, the
right-hander conceded just one hit, one run and four walks and hit
one batter.

Indians 8, Twins 2
Right-hander Danny Salazar struck out 11 and combined with two
relievers on a two-hitter and the Cleveland Indians avoided a
three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins, whose
four-game winning streak ended.
Salazar (4-1) gave up a home run to second baseman Brian Dozier
leading off the game, and then retired the next 21 batters in a row
before being removed after the seventh inning. Salazar did not walk
a batter.

Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 3 First baseman Mike Napoli and third baseman
Pablo Sandoval homered, right-hander Clay Buchholz pitched into the
seventh inning and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue
Jays.
Buchholz (2-4) held the Blue Jays to seven hits, three walks and
three runs in 6 1/3 innings to earn his first win since April 6,
helping Boston salvage the finale of the three-game series.

Rangers 2, Rays 1
Adrian Beltre connected on his 398th career home run to lead the
Texas Rangers to victory against the Tampa Bay Rays.
With his solo shot off Tampa Bay starter Jake Odorizzi in the top of
the fourth inning, Beltre tied Dale Murphy for 54th on the all-time
list.
Texas left-hander Wandy Rodriguez retired the first 15 batters he
faced and set a franchise record of 34 in a row stretching back to
his previous start.

Royals 2, Tigers 1
Omar Infante knocked in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly as
the Kansas City Royals edged the Detroit Tigers in 10 innings.
Infante's 500th career RBI allowed the Royals (20-11) to take two of
three-game series and extend their lead in the American League
Central to 1 1/2 games over Detroit (19-13).
Royals ace reliever Greg Holland survived a bases-loaded jam to
record his sixth save in the 10th inning. The game was delayed for
one hour and 43 minutes in the bottom of the ninth by rain. (Editing
