AL: Reese pokes two; Sox win 4th straight



By The Associated Press

BOSTON - Pokey Reese hit an inside-the-park home run and added a conventional one - the first two-homer game of his career - and Curt Schilling pitched his first AL complete game Saturday to give the streaking Boston Red Sox a 9-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

Since losing five in a row, the Red Sox have won four straight.

Schilling (4-2) allowed one run and five hits while striking out eight for his 80th career complete game.

Jimmy Gobble (1-1) gave up six runs and eight hits, striking out three before he was chased in the five-run sixth. Benito Santiago homered and added a single for the Royals, who have lost 18 of their last 22 and fell to 2-14 on the road.

Blue Jays 4, White Sox 2

TORONTO - Josh Phelps hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning - four pitches after having one overturned - and Toronto won its season-high fourth straight.

Phelps homered over the left-field wall off Neal Cotts (0-1).

Jason Frasor (1-1) pitched the eighth for his first major league win, and Terry Adams pitched the ninth for his first save of the season.

Joe Crede hit a two-run homer for the White Sox.

Twins 3, Athletics 2, 10 innings

OAKLAND, Calif. - Shannon Stewart scored from first base when Bobby Crosby dropped a fly ball in the 10th, helping Minnesota win its third extra-inning game in five days.

J.C. Romero (1-2) pitched 2 2-3 innings and Joe Nathan struck out the side in the 10th around a walk for his eighth save in nine chances.

Oakland has lost four of six and 10 of 14 overall, and nine of its last 10 against Minnesota. Jim Mecir (0-3) took the loss.

A's starter Tim Hudson allowed nine hits in nine innings. He has 24 no-decisions over the past three seasons, leaving with a lead 14 times.

Orioles 10, Indians 7

BALTIMORE - Jay Gibbons' three-run double highlighted a four-run seventh, Melvin Mora had three hits and Baltimore came back from two deficits.

John Parrish (3-1) pitched 2 1-3 innings of relief and Jorge Julio worked a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

Jody Gerut and Travis Hafner both hit three-run homers for Cleveland, which lost its fourth straight.

Scott Stewart (0-2) was the loser.
