* at Boston 1, Toronto 0: Kevin Youkilis lined a run-scoring single to center field in the ninth, ending a brilliant pitching duel between Roy Halladay and Jon Lester.

* Kansas City 9, at Texas 5: Jose Guillen hit a two-run homer and drove in five runs and the Royals won for the third time in four games after ending a seven-game losing streak. The Rangers have lost 14 of 18 games to fall to a major league-worst 9-18. Texas starter Jason Jennings (0-5) gave up eight hits and five runs before leaving in the third with irritation in his right arm.

* at Minnesota 3, Chicago 1: Boof Bonser (2-4) gave up a homer to Joe Crede among six hits and struck out eight. Gavin Floyd (2-1) gave up three runs and five hits in six innings.
