Ervin Santana struck out eight over eight innings to guide the Los Angeles Angels to an 8-2 win over the Texas Rangers in the American League Saturday. Santana (9-7) had an embarrassing 8.05 ERA in his first nine career starts at Rangers Ballpark, but the only damage Texas could do against him this time were two solo homers. Jeff Mathis homered for the Angels, who won their first game in four and moved back within six games of AL West-leading Texas. Rangers starter Scott Feldman (5-9) took the loss. Royals 7, Yankees 4: In New York, Jose Guillen homered and drove in two runs as Kansas City beat New York. Rick Ankiel also had a pair of RBIs as Kansas City pounded New York's spot starter Sergio Mitre. Royals starter Kyle Davies (5-6) served up a pair of home runs but otherwise held the hot-hitting Yankees in check on a sweltering afternoon in the Bronx. Davies survived 5 1-3 innings to win for the first time since May. Alex Rodriguez remained stuck on 599 career home runs for the second straight day. He flew out in the first, singled in the fourth and grounded out in the fifth. Athletics 10, White Sox 2: In Oakland, Jack Cust hit two home runs as Oakland cruised past Chicago. Kurt Suzuki, who agreed terms on a four-year deal with the A's a day earlier, added a homer of his own. Chicago starter Freddy Garcia (9-4) lasted a career-low 1 2-3 innings and had his personal six-game winning streak snapped. He gave up five runs and walked three in his brief appearance. Oakland's Vin Mazzaro (6-2) ceded a two-run homer in the second, while striking out five to take the win. Blue Jays 3, Tigers 2: In Detroit, Jose Bautista drove in a pair of runs to help Toronto to a win over Detroit, who lost Magglio Ordonez to a fractured ankle. Ordonez broke his ankle sliding into home plate and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. It was the second major injury this week for the Tigers, who lost third baseman Brandon Inge to a broken left hand. Carlos Guillen also left the game with a calf injury. Toronto starter Shaun Marcum (9-4) allowed two runs in 5 2-3 innings. Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 26 tries. Rays 6, Indians 3: In Cleveland, David Price held it together after a rocky start to guide Tampa Bay to its first win in Cleveland in 19 attempts. Price (13-5) trailed 3-0 in the second, but allowed only three hits in seven-plus innings and tied C.C. Sabathia for the league lead in wins. A three-run homer from Ben Zobrist and a solo shot from Carlos Pena helped the Rays get their first win at the Indians since 2005. Mariners 5, Red Sox 1: In Seattle, Michael Saunders hit a two-run homer in the sixth to put Seattle on course for victory over Boston. Twins 7, Orioles 2: In Baltimore, Delmon Young went 4-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs to power Minnesota past Baltimore.
