BOSTON - The Toronto Blue Jays went ahead with three RBI doubles in the eighth inning to spoil the Boston Red Sox's home opener with a 10-5 win Friday.

Reed Johnson and Kevin Cash each drove in three runs for Toronto, which was swept in an opening three-game series at Detroit.

Boston had little sleep before its opener, arriving at Fenway Park at 7:24 a.m. after its flight from Baltimore-Washington International Airport was delayed by mechanical problems.

Mike Timlin (0-1) gave up three runs in the eighth. Justin Speier (1-0) got the win for the Blue Jays.

White Sox 9, Yankees 3

NEW YORK - Magglio Ordonez homered and drove in five runs while Jon Garland worked around bouts of wildness, leading the Chicago White Sox over the New York Yankees.

Joe Crede also homered for the White Sox and made a key play at third base. After he nipped Derek Jeter with the bases loaded to end the fourth, the White Sox scored nine runs in the next two innings.

Earlier Friday, Yankees manager Joe Torre reached agreement on a three-year contract extension through the 2007 season.

Garland (1-0) won despite issuing a career-high seven walks, including four in the fourth. Backed by several fine defensive plays, he held down the Yankees on one run and four hits for eight innings.

Jose Contreras (0-1) allowed five runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out five.

Rangers 12, Angels 4

ARLINGTON, Texas - Michael Young, who moved from second base to shortstop when Alex Rodriguez was traded just before spring training, drove in three runs and scored twice in Texas' win over Anaheim, ending the Angels' chance to start 4-0 for the first time since 1970.

Laynce Nix, Kevin Mench and Hank Blalock, who snapped an 0-for-13 stretch with three hits, all homered for the Rangers.

R.A. Dickey (1-0) pitched seven solid innings - the only three runs he allowed were unearned after throwing errors by Young on consecutive plays.

Ramon Ortiz (0-1), gave up seven runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings.

Devil Rays 4, Orioles 3

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Pinch-hitter Eduardo Perez singled home the winning run in the 10th after Jose Cruz Jr.'s leadoff walk off John Parrish (0-1), Damian Rolls' sacrifice and Rocco Baldelli's intentional walk.

Tampa Bay tied it at 3 in the ninth when Robert Fick had his first career pinch-hit homer, a drive off Jorge Julio.

Danys Baez (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings, working out of a bases-loaded jam to get the final two outs in the ninth.

Javy Lopez hit a two-run homer for Baltimore.

Royals 3, Indians 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jimmy Gobble made history for Kansas City by just taking the mound, and Aaron Guiel's two-run double broke a scoreless tie in the seventh to lift the Royals past Cleveland.

Kansas City became the first major league team to start four left-handers in its first four games. Gobble was preceded by Brian Anderson, Darrell May and Jeremy Affeldt.

Several teams had lefties start their first four games, but one always pitched more than once. The 1994 Yankees were the last to do it starting Jimmy Key twice, Terry Mulholland and Jim Abbott, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Ken Harvey hit a two-out single in the seventh off Jack Cressend (0-1), who had relieved after Jason Stanford pitched five scoreless innings. After Benito Santiago singled Guiel followed with his double.

Jason Grimsley (1-0) pitched the seventh, and Curtis Leskanic allowed an RBI single to Casey Blake in the ninth before getting his first save.
