WHITE SOX 6, INDIANS 3: At Cleveland, Gavin Floyd shut out Cleveland on five singles over 7 2-3 innings and Chicago climbed back to .500 by handing the Indians their 11th loss in 13 games. Floyd (6-5), who started the season by losing four of his first six decisions, improved to 3-0 in June, 4-1 since May 22 and has a 1.39 ERA in his last eight starts. Jermaine Dye and Gordon Beckham had RBI singles off Carl Pavano (6-7) as the White Sox (38-38) won for the 10th time in 14 games. The last-place Indians have dropped three straight.

ANGELS 5, RANGERS 2: At Arlington, Texas, Juan Rivera and Kendry Morales hit back-to-back home runs that put Los Angeles ahead and the AL West-leading Angels won their sixth straight game. The first five Angels reached to start the sixth against Vicente Padilla (6-4). After Vladimir Guerrero's leadoff single, Rivera and Morales homered to put Los Angeles up 4-2. Chone Figgins drove in another run with a sacrifice fly. Brian Fuentes worked the ninth for his major league-best 22nd save.

ROYALS 4, TWINS 2: At Kansas City, Mo., Miguel Olivo homered, tripled and drove in two runs and Luke Hochevar overcame some shaky moments in seven scoreless innings as Kansas City ended a five-game home losing streak. Kansas City missed a few early chances against Twins starter Nick Blackburn (6-4) before breaking open a tight game on consecutive homers by Alberto Callaspo and Olivo in the sixth inning. Olivo finished with three hits, a double short of the cycle. The Royals had 12 hits and survived a two-run homer by Justin Morneau in the eighth to avoid matching their longest home losing streak in nearly two years.

ATHLETICS 7, TIGERS 1: At Oakland, Calif., Mark Ellis hit a two-run homer in his second game back from a two-month injury absence, and Ryan Sweeney homered and drove in two runs. Kurt Suzuki had a run-scoring double for the last-place A's, who snapped a five-game losing streak with a rare 11-hit effort from a club that's last in the AL in batting average, hits, total bases and homers.
