NEW YORK - Jose Guillen and Adam Kennedy homered, leading Aaron Sele and the Anaheim Angels past the New York Yankees 11-2 Wednesday night.

Casey Kotchman broke open the game with a three-run double in the eighth inning as Anaheim scored five times for an 8-2 lead. The surging Angels have won 10 of 11 and have the best record in the American League at 23-11.

All-Star catcher Jorge Posada went down with a broken nose after being hit by a throw, and the Yankees lost for only the third time in 14 games.

Guillen and Kennedy connected off Javier Vazquez (3-4).

He was bested by Sele (2-0), who allowed two runs and six hits in six innings - his third consecutive solid start since moving back into the rotation May 1. The 33-year-old curveballer improved to 6-10 in 24 career starts against the Yankees. He's also 0-5 against them in the postseason.

Ben Weber bounced back from a loss the previous night with a scoreless seventh, preserving a 3-2 lead. Struggling right-hander Ramon Ortiz made his first career relief appearance after 128 starts, and worked a scoreless ninth.

Posada was hit in the face with a submarine relay from rookie shortstop Alfredo Amezaga. Posada walked off the field under his own power and is day-to-day.

Guillen, back in the lineup after missing one game with a sprained right knee and ankle, was still sore before this one. But he hit a two-run homer to center on the first pitch he saw from Vazquez in the first inning.

Twins 4, Mariners 3

MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota's Brad Radke took a shutout into the ninth inning, and Minnesota held on despite Edgar Martinez's three-run homer.

Doug Mientkiewicz hit a two-run homer to back Radke (3-2), who allowed back-to-back singles starting the ninth before Martinez's 300th career homer. Radke gave up 10 hits, struck out four and walked one.

Athletics 2, Tigers 1

DETROIT - Rich Harden allowed one run in seven innings, and Adam Melhuse homered in Oakland's season-high third straight victory.

Harden (2-2) won his second start in a row, giving up just seven hits and striking out eight. Arthur Rhodes pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save.

Bobby Kielty had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the seventh off Jeremy Bonderman (3-2)

Rangers 9, Devil Rays 8

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Hank Blalock hit his third homer in two games, and Texas handed Tampa Bay its seventh straight loss. Alfonso Soriano, Kevin Mench and Brad Fullmer also homered for the Rangers, who have 14 in winning four of five games from the Devil Rays.

Chan Ho Park (2-3) pitched seven innings to beat John Halama (0-1). Francisco Cordero got his 12th save.

Indians 6, Red Sox 4

BOSTON - Cliff Lee pitched six strong innings, Jody Gerut had three hits and Tim Laker homered for Cleveland, which took advantage of three Boston errors to win for just the second time in eight games.

Lee (4-0) gave up two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight in six innings. Rafael Betancourt struck out the side in the ninth for a save, but not before giving up two runs.

Royals 4, Blue Jays 3

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Mike Sweeney's two-out, two-run double in the ninth inning skidded past Toronto third baseman Eric Hinske, giving Kansas City the victory.

Sweeney's hit off Terry Adams (3-2) gave the Royals back-to-back victories for the first time since April 9-11, when they took three in a row from Cleveland.
