TORONTO - Roy Halladay lost a chance at his 22nd win when he was ejected Monday night, and Rob Bell held the Toronto Blue Jays hitless for six innings in Tampa Bay's 5-2 victory.

Julio Lugo homered off Halladay for the Devil Rays, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Chad Gaudin, Joe Kennedy and Lance Carter followed Bell and finished the four-hitter for the win.

Halladay had not allowed an earned run in a club-record 41 innings before Lugo connected leading off the sixth.

Halladay was tossed in the sixth for hitting Rocco Baldelli with a pitch. After giving up Lugo's home run and a single to Aubrey Huff, Halladay hit Baldelli in the back with his first pitch.

Halladay, a leading contender for the AL Cy Young Award, entered 21-6 with a 3.18 ERA.

White Sox 6, Yankees 3, 10 innings

CHICAGO - Magglio Ordonez hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning Monday night as Chicago beat New York and prevented the Yankees from clinching the AL East.

Roberto Alomar singled with one out in the 10th off Gabe White (2-1) and after Weaver reliever and walked Frank Thomas, Ordonez connected to deep left for his first career game-ending homer.
