Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched six scoreless innings and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 2-1.

Aramis Ramírez broke a scoreless tie with a three-run homer in the eighth to lift Chicago against the Giants, and a veteran scout has been linked to a betting probe.

Raúl Ibáñez’s tiebreaking homer in the fourth was enough offense as the Seattle Mariners won for the eighth time in 11 games beating the Detroit Tigers on Friday.

Randy Dunning’s visit to Camden Yards in May was a chance to do “one last fun thing” before reporting to Officer Candidate School. Thanks to Manny Ramirez, he’ll never forget the game.

Back at Camden Yards for the first time since being traded to the Houston Astros, Miquel Tejada spoke excitedly Tuesday about seeing his former teammates.

Aubrey Huff matched his career high with four hits, including a tying two-run single, and the Baltimore Orioles came from behind twice to hand the Boston Red Sox a rare home loss.

Ian Kennedy gave up four runs in the second inning and then left the game with a slightly strained right lat muscle in a wild 11-inning loss to the Orioles.

Joe Girardi got his first ejection as Yankees manager in the ninth inning Thursday, putting on a show from which Orioles’ rookie pitcher Jim Johnson couldn’t recover.

Umpires missed another home run call, leaving Alex Rodriguez to settle for a double in the sixth inning Wednesday, but it hardly mattered in a cathartic rout of the Orioles.

Alex Rodriguez hit a home run on his first game after a 17-game absence, but Tuesday’s loss was as bad as any of the others the team has suffered this season.
