Red Sox left fielder Jacoby Ellsbury was helped off the field after colliding with third baseman Adrian Beltre in the ninth inning of Boston's 8-6 win Sunday over the Kansas City Royals. Ellsbury and Beltre were chasing Mitch Maier's foul fly ball when they ran into reach other. Ellsbury remained on the grass for several minutes and isn't sure if he'll be able to play Monday at Minnesota. Beltre had three hits and three RBIs. Dustin Pedroia got four hits, including a home run. Jose Guillen homered twice and drove in four runs for the Royals. White Sox 5, Twins 4: At Chicago, J.J. Hardy became the final out when he tried to score on pinch-hitter Jim Thome's long drive as Chicago held off Minnesota. Hardy singled with two outs against Bobby Jenks and took off when Thome hit a shot into the left-center field gap. Left fielder Juan Pierre retrieved the ball on the warning track and threw to third baseman Mark Teahen. Teahen's relay to catcher A.J. Pierzynski arrived in plenty of time, and Hardy was beaten by so much that he didn't slide or go barreling home. Pinch-hitter Andruw Jones singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth. Mark Buehrle (2-0) pitched eight innings and Jenks held on for his first save. Tigers 9, Indians 8: At Detroit, Carlos Guillen scored on fill-in closer Chris Perez's wild pitch with two outs, capping a three-run ninth inning and lifting Detroit over Cleveland. Guillen hit an RBI double to get the Tigers within a run. After Brandon Inge grounded out, Perez (0-1) issued consecutive walks to Ramon Santiago and Johnny Damon to force home the tying run. His next pitch bounced past Lou Marson, allowing Guillen to scamper home. Perez is serving as Cleveland's closer while Kerry Wood is on the disabled list with a strained muscle below his right shoulder. Phil Coke (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the Tigers. Athletics 9, Angels 4: At Anaheim, California, Adam Rosales homered in his first American League at-bat, added a go-ahead single and finished with four RBIs as Oakland beat the Los Angeles Angels. Rosales, a backup infielder with Cincinnati the last two seasons, hit a solo home run in the second inning and sprinted around the bases. His drive was Oakland's only hit through the first six innings against Joe Saunders (0-2). Saunders retired 13 in a row before giving up three straight hits to start a three-run seventh. Rosales capped the rally with a two-run single, dropping the AL West champion Angels to 2-5. Yankees 7, Rays 3: At St. Petersburg, Florida, A.J. Burnett pitched seven strong innings, and Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez drove in two runs each to lead the New York Yankees over Tampa Bay. Rangers 9, Mariners 2: At Arlington, Texas, Scott Feldman pitched seven solid innings and Michael Young homered to help Texas beat Seattle. Blue Jays 5, Orioles 2: At Baltimore, Jose Bautista and Alex Gonzalez hit consecutive home runs in the eighth inning after a two-out error by Miguel Tejada, as Toronto beat Baltimore for a three
