Angels 12, White Sox 0 -- Jarrod Washburn pitched a four-hitter for his first career shutout, and Jose Guillen homered twice and drove in five runs to power visiting Anaheim.

Garret Anderson added his 200th career home run in the seventh inning, a two-run shot off reliever Felix Diaz.

Twins 12, Royals 0 -- Kyle Lohse threw Minnesota's team-record third straight complete-game shutout, leading Minnesota over visiting Kansas City.

Lohse's six-hitter came after Brad Radke tossed a four-hitter and Johan Santana turned in a three-hitter to start the series.

The Royals, who lost their eighth straight and 13th out of 14, have scored one run in their last 37 innings.

Devil Rays 13, Orioles 3 -- Rob Bell took a two-hitter into the eighth inning, and Toby Hall and Damian Rolls had three RBIs apiece to lead visiting Tampa Bay over Baltimore.

Rangers 9, Indians 8 -- Gary Matthews Jr. and Mark Teixeira hit two-run homers in a decisive seventh inning as Texas edged host Cleveland.

Teixeira connected off Jeriome Robertson (1-1), and Matthews hit his off Rick White. Alfonso Soriano and Brad Fullmer added solo shots for the Rangers.

Blue Jays 12, Mariners 4 -- Josh Phelps homered twice and had a career-high seven RBIs to lead Toronto over visiting Seattle, which lost its fifth straight.
