* Kansas City 9, at Chicago 5: Light-hitting Tony Pena homered and tied a career-high with four hits as the Royals scored eight unanswered runs on the way to victory.

* Toronto 11, at Baltimore 4: Frank Thomas went four for four, including his 513th home run, and drove in three runs and A.J. Burnett (10-7) improved to 5-0 in six starts against the Orioles.

* at Boston 7, Oakland 3: Winning pitcher Curt Schilling’s six strikeouts gave him 3,116, one behind Bob Gibson, who is 13th in major league history.
