Jays' Halladay wins 14th straight decision


American League

The Associated Press

BOSTON - Roy Halladay won his 14th straight decision and Bobby Kielty had a homer and two singles in his Toronto debut to lead the Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 5-2 Thursday night.

Halladay (14-2) allowed nine hits, striking out five and walking none in his second complete game of the season and seventh of his career. He leads the majors in wins and is unbeaten in 16 starts since losing to the Yankees April 15.

Boston starter Derek Lowe (10-4) had been unbeaten in 11 starts since a loss at Minnesota on May 11, but he allowed four runs in four innings, throwing 92 pitches.

Three runs scored on Reed Johnson's bases-loaded double in the fourth that made it 4-0.

Kielty singled and scored in both the second and fourth, then hit his 10th homer of the season on the first pitch of the sixth against Casey Fossum.

Kielty, who hit .252 in 75 games for Minnesota this year, was obtained Wednesday for outfielder Shannon Stewart.

Boston made the score 5-2 in the seventh on David Ortiz's 11th homer and Jason Varitek's RBI single, leaving runners at first and third with two outs. Halladay got out of the jam when Johnny Damon flied out to center, and Toronto went on to win for the fourth time in its last 16 games.

Halladay's winning streak is the longest in the majors since Roger Clemens won 16 consecutive decisions for the New York Yankees in 2001. Clemens also set the Toronto club record of 15, in 1998.

Lowe struggled in his first loss at Fenway Park in seven decisions this season.

Yankees 5, Indians 4

NEW YORK - Hideki Matsui led off the ninth inning with a home run, giving New York the victory.

Matsui hit a 1-0 pitch from David Riske into the center-field bleachers. Derek Jeter hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Riske (2-2) to tie it 4-all.

Even with the new setup man Armando Benitez in the bullpen, Mariano Rivera (4-0) worked the ninth with the score tied and gained the victory.

Rangers 12, Devil Rays 6

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Juan Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with four RBI to lead Texas. He hit his 429th career homer, a three-run drive, and added a run-scoring double.

Donnie Sadler and Marcus Thames also homered for the Rangers, who have won seven of their last 11 games.

Orioles 2, Angels 1

BALTIMORE - Rodrigo Lopez allowed five hits in seven innings and Jeff Conine homered as Baltimore ended Anaheim's five-game winning streak.

Luis Matos had two hits and an RBI for the Orioles, who improved to 5-1 against the defending World Series champions. Anaheim was 7-2 against Baltimore last year.
