hit bid lasted until the ninth this time. Joe Mauer doubled with one out off Chicago's young right-hander for the Minnesota Twins' only hit and Floyd had to settle for a 7-1 victory Tuesday as the White Sox ended a six-game losing streak. Floyd (3-1) was taken out to a standing ovation after Mauer's double to left-center and Bobby Jenks came on to get the final two outs. Floyd, who held Detroit hitless for 7 1-3 innings on April 12 before Edgar Renteria singled, walked three and struck out four. The only run the Twins could muster was aided by an error on Chicago left fielder Carlos Quentin in the fourth inning. Rays 5, Blue Jays 4: At Toronto, Andy Sonnanstine won his fourth straight start, Eric Hinske homered, and Tampa Bay beat Toronto, snapping the Blue Jay's five-game winning streak. Sonnanstine (5-1) allowed four runs and 10 hits in six innings, becoming the fastest five-game winner in Tampa Bay's 11-year history. He walked one and struck out two. Red Sox 5, Tigers 0: At Detroit, Tim Wakefield only allowed two hits in eight shutout innings to lift Boston over Detroit. Indians 5, Yankees 3: At New York, pinch-hitter David Dellucci stunned New York with a go-ahead homer off Joba Chamberlain, and Cleveland rallied for a victory in the opener of a three-game series. Other results: Angels 5, Royals 3; Athletics 4, Orioles 2; Rangers 10, Mariners 1. Braves down Padres Chipper Jones hit his 10th homer, Jair Jurrjens pitched six strong innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Tuesday to improve the National Leagues' best home record. Mark Kotsay added two hits, including a homer, and drove in two runs. Kotsay also delivered the defensive play of the game in the fifth inning, making an over-the-shoulder catch at the warning track of Tadahito Iguchi's drive. The Braves have won four straight, all at home, where they improved to 12-4 overall. Jurrjens (4-2) matched his career high with eight strikeouts and gave up seven hits with a walk and one run in six innings. San Diego's Chris Young (2-3) threw 98 pitches in only five innings, giving up nine hits and five runs. Cubs 3, Reds 0: At Cincinnati, Carlos Zambrano had his way with Cincinnati's slumping lineup, allowing only three hits in eight innings, and Ronny Cedeno singled home a pair of runs for Chicago. The Cubs won for only fourth time in 12 games, a span marked by inconsistency all-around. Zambrano (5-1) has been one of the constants. The right-hander has won four straight decisions, two of them against a Reds lineup that is often its own worst enemy. Cincinnati got only one runner to second base in the first five innings - Joey Votto, who was picked off by Zambrano. Aaron Harang (1-5) gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings. Marlins 3, Brewers 0: At Miami, Scott Olsen allowed two hits in 8 2-3 innings, and Mike Jacobs hit a two-run homer to help Florida beat the slumping Milwaukee. Ryan Braun doubled in the fourth and Prince Fielder singled with two outs in the ninth for Milwaukee's only hits. Olsen came within a strike of his first complete game and the Marlins' first since Sept. 16, 2006, but he walked pinch-hitter Joe Dillon to load the bases with two outs in the ninth. Kevin Gregg needed only one pitch to retire Bill Hall on a flyout for his sixth save in seven chances. Other results: Pirates 12, Giants 6; Cardinals 6, Rockies 5; Astros 6, Nationals 5; Diamondbacks 6, Phillies 4; Dodgers 5, Mets 4.
