HOUSTON - Billy Wagner set the Astros' record for saves and promptly thanked Todd Jones.

"When I first came up, they wanted me to start," Wagner said. "If it hadn't have been for Todd Jones going on the DL that year, I might never have gotten a chance to close. Thanks to Jonesy for getting me started."

Wagner pitched a one-hit ninth inning Sunday that completed Houston's seventh straight win, a three-hit, 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

It was his 200th save, one more than Dave Smith's previous team record.

Wagner has 19 saves in 20 chances, converting his last 15 opportunities.

The Astros have a one game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.

Cubs 8, Yankees 7

CHICAGO - Sammy Sosa capped a tumultuous weekend with his 2,000th career hit, and Mark Prior showed the New York Yankees what they missed out on five years ago.

Giants 7, Tigers 6

SAN FRANCISCO - Pinch-hitter Edgardo Alfonzo had a tiebreaking double with two outs in the eighth inning as San Francisco rallied to complete a three-game sweep.

PHILADELPHIA - Jim Thome and Bobby Abreu each homered and drove in two runs as the Phillies finished a doubleheader sweep with an 8-3 victory.

Angels 8, Marlins 5

MIAMI - Adam Kennedy and Garret Anderson had run-scoring singles in a three-run fifth inning and the Angels took advantage of an error to rally from a four-run deficit.

It was the 12th come-from-behind victory this season for the Angels.

Red Sox 9, Brewers 1

MILWAUKEE - Kevin Millar homered twice and drove in four runs, backing a strong outing by Derek Lowe.

Millar batted .387 (12-for-31) as the Red Sox went 5-7 on their road trip.

"It's just a situation where I got some good at-bats going and that carried me over," Millar said. "I got my stroke back and it feels good."

Expos 3, Rangers 2

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Brad Wilkerson's second run-scoring double broke a tie in the eighth inning and helped Montreal send Texas to its ninth straight loss.
