ROUNDUP

at Toronto 8, Baltimore 1: Lyle Overbay homered and drove in five runs, and Brian Tallet and two relievers combined on a two-hitter in place of injured starter Ted Lilly to lead the Blue Jays. Lilly was scratched just before his scheduled start because of a stiff neck. Vernon Wells hit a three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have won two straight after a season-high seven-game skid.

at Oakland 7, Texas 4: Mark Ellis drove in four runs with a homer and a bases-loaded double, leading the surging Athletics over the Rangers. Milton Bradley also homered and drove in two runs for the AL West-leading A’s, who won for the eighth time in nine games. This victory pushed Oakland to a season-high 10 games above .500, maintaining its three-game lead over the Angels atop the AL West.

at Seattle 5, Tampa Bay 4: Raul Ibanez hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning, and the Mariners’ bullpen pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Ibanez’s 23rd homer -- one short of his career high -- gave Seattle the lead for good.
