At St. Petersburg, Carl Crawford had three RBI and triggered a seven-run third inning, leading the Devil Rays past the Mariners yesterday. Seven of Tampa Bay’s nine starters drove in at least one run. Jae Seo (3-4) gave up seven runs and 13 hits over 5-plus innings to earn the win, but a balky bullpen nearly gave it away. Closer Al Reyes came on in the ninth with the Devil Rays ahead 13-10. He yielded a walk to Raul Ibanez, then Ichiro Suzuki hit his third homer of the year to draw within one.
At Detroit, Carlos Guillen homered twice and drove in five runs, and Jeremy Bonderman made a strong return from the disabled list yesterday to help the Tigers rout the Angels. Magglio Ordonez had four hits and three RBIs to take over the major league lead with 45, two more than the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez. Gary Sheffield added a solo home run in the third as Detroit won for the fifth time in six games.
At Baltimore, Alex Rios homered off struggling Danys Baez in the 10th inning, and Frank Thomas hit a milestone shot to help the Blue Jays rally for a victory over the Orioles last night. Toronto trailed 4-2 in the seventh before Thomas hit his 493rd career home run, tying Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff for 21st on the career list.
At Kansas City, Jason Michaels capped a five-run first inning with a three-run homer, and the Indians avoided a sweep by beating the Kansas City.
