NEW YORK - Gil Meche pitched two-hit ball for a career-high eight innings, and the Seattle Mariners snapped Andy Pettitte's eight-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday.

It was Meche's second big performance in the Bronx this year - he threw 7 2/3 innings in a 6-0 win over Roger Clemens on April 29.

Seattle scratched out runs on Mike Cameron's RBI groundout and Bret Boone's sacrifice fly to end a three-game skid. The top two teams in the AL have split the first two games of a three-game set - Clemens faces Jamie Moyer today in a matchup of aces in their 40s.

Red Sox 6, Orioles 4

BOSTON - Kevin Millar hit the 10,000th homer at Fenway Park, a two-run shot in the eighth inning, and Boston rebounded from a doubleheader sweep.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Rookie Jimmy Gobble allowed one run in his second major-league start, and Carlos Beltran homered and drove in three runs as Kansas City snapped a four-game losing streak.

CLEVELAND - Rookie Angel Santos homered and Cleveland's Jason Boyd became the first pitcher to record an unassisted double play in 13 years, leading the Indians to a 3-2 win and a sweep of Anaheim in a day-night doubleheader.

The Indians won the opener by an identical score on rookie Ryan Ludwick's RBI single in the 13th inning.
