ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, helping the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 Sunday to secure their sixth straight series win this season. Rod Barajas had three hits for the Blue Jays, who have won eight of 11 games. Vernon Wells led off the eighth with a double off White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink (0-1). Adam Lind walked then Rolen drove in Wells. After a shaky start, Toronto ace Roy Halladay (4-1) settled down and retired 12 of the last 14 batters he faced. He allowed three runs and scattered eight in seven innings. Halladay had six strikeouts and walked his first batter in two starts. Red Sox 4, Yankees 1: At Boston, Jacoby Ellsbury stole home and the Boston Red Sox finished off with a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Boston's speedster surprised left-hander Andy Pettitte with his dash in a three-run fifth inning that gave the Red Sox their 10th straight win. They came from behind in all three games and trailed Sunday on Brett Gardner's sacrifice fly in the third. But the Red Sox tied it on a sacrifice fly by David Ortiz in the bottom of the inning. In the fifth, Ortiz doubled in the go-ahead run before Kevin Youkilis was walked intentionally to load the bases. As Pettitte began his windup with J.D. Drew at bat, Ellsbury raced home and slid in headfirst ahead of Jorge Posada's tag. Drew then made it 4-1 with a ground-rule double. In other American League games it was: Orioles 8, Rangers 5; Indians 4, Twins 2; Tigers 3, Royals 2; Athletics 7, Rays 1; Angels 8, Mariners 0. Victorino drives in 4 runs In Miami, Shane Victorino drove in four runs and Jamie Moyer pitched six solid innings as the Philadelphia Phillies extended the Florida Marlins' skid to six with a 13-2 victory on Sunday. Florida, which began the season 11-1, is mired in its longest losing streak since an eight-game slide from Aug. 15-22, 2007. The Marlins' latest loss got so out of hand that outfielder Cody Ross pitched a scoreless ninth inning. Moyer (3-1) allowed one run and seven hits to improve to 7-0 at Dolphin Stadium and 12-1 against the Marlins overall. Pedro Feliz had three hits, two RBIs and scored two runs for Philadelphia. Graham Taylor (0-1) lasted just 3 2-3 innings in his major league debut for Florida. He walked six and hit a batter with a pitch while allowing four runs and four hits. Elsewhere in the National League it was: Cubs 10, Cardinals 3; Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4, 12 innings; Reds 8, Braves 2; Astros 3, Brewers 2; Nationals 8, Mets 1; Rockies 10, Dodgers 4; Pirates 8, Padres 3; Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4, 12 innings.
