A.J. Burnett scattered three hits pitching into the eighth inning and Alex Rios homered for the Toronto Blue Jays, who wrapped up a miserable road trip with a 3-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Toronto finished the nine-game trip at 2-7 and avoided a sweep after Boston had won the two previous games in the last at-bat. The Red Sox and Blue Jays combined for seven total runs in the series. Burnett (3-2) continued his mastery of the Red Sox, improving to 4-0 against Boston while allowing just one run in 16 innings over two starts at Fenway Park. Burnett struck out five and walked five in 7 2-3 innings, and B.J. Ryan pitched the ninth for his third save. Indians 3, Mariners 2, 11 innings: At Cleveland, Asdrubal Cabrera broke an 0-for-14 slump with a bases-loaded single in the 11th inning to give Cleveland the win over Seattle. Jhonny Peralta drew a one-out walk off Mark Lowe (1-2). Travis Hafner then doubled to left and Jamey Carroll was hit by a 1-2 pitch, loading the bases. Sean Green came on and struck out Franklin Gutierrez on three pitches, the final offering way outside. But Cabrera, batting just .190, lined an 0-1 pitch to center and was promptly mobbed by teammates. Tigers 8, Yankees 4: At New York, Miguel Cabrera homered, tripled and drove in three runs, leading Detroit to its first three-game sweep in New York since 1966. Reserve infielder Ramon Santiago made the most of his first start at shortstop this season, turning in a key defensive play and hitting a tiebreaking triple to back Nate Robertson (1-3). Magglio Ordonez had three hits – including a two-run double off Ian Kennedy – and scored twice for the Tigers, who won for the eighth time in 10 games. Bobby Abreu hit a three-run homer for the banged-up Yankees, who have lost six of eight. In other games it was: Athletics 15, Angels 8; Rays 4, Orioles 2; Rangers 2, Royals 1. Brewers beat Cubs 4-3 In Chocago, Ryan Braun hit a two-run double off Kerry Wood during Milwaukee's three-run ninth inning and the Brewers rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Thursday. Wood wasted his third save opportunity in seven chances and a fine performance by Carlos Zambrano, who pitched 6 1-3 innings and helped himself with his 13th career homer – tying the team record held by Ferguson Jenkins. Braun homered in the sixth and went 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Brian Shouse (2-0) got the final out in the eighth and Eric Gagne pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 13 chances. Phillies 3, Padres 2: At Philadelphia , Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning to lift Philadelphia over San Diego. Nationals 3, Pirates 2: At Washington, Austin Kearns broke a tie with a two-out RBI single in the eighth inning, and Washington edged Pittsburgh to run its winning streak to a season-high four games. Dodgers 5, Marlins 3: At Miami, Matt Kemp drove in the tiebreaking run with a ninth-inning single and Los Angeles beat Florida to complete its second consecutive series sweep.
