Cincinnati, Sept. 18: Darnell McDonald homered during Cincinnati's three-run first Thursday and five pitchers made the lead stand up in a 3-2 decision over Florida.

Since the final day of August, Cincinnati has won seven in a row, lost five straight and now has won five out of six.

After McDonald opened the first inning with his home run against Anibal Sanchez (2-7), the Reds loaded the bases and Jay Bruce delivered a two-run single to shallow left.

Matt Maloney (1-4) gave up two runs over five innings to earn his first major league victory in his sixth start.

Ramon Ramirez, Arthur Rhodes, Nick Masset and Francisco Cordero then combined to throw four innings of one-hit relief. Cordero picked up his 38th save.

St. Petersburg, Fla. Sept. 2: Pat Burrell singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth Wednesday and Evan Longoria soon added a two-run homer, launching Tampa Bay to an 8-5 win over Boston.

The Red Sox, whose four-game winning streak ended, saw their lead in the American League wild-card race trimmed to 2 1/2 games over Texas. Tampa Bay is five games back.

Facing a 5-4 deficit in the top of the eighth, Boston loaded the bases with one out and scored the tying run on a wild pitch by reliever J.P. Howell.

Howell then struck out Alex Gonzalez and Jacob Ellsbury to prevent further damage and the Rays regained the lead in the bottom half of the inning.

Boston, Aug. 24: Mike Lowell finished off a six-run third inning with a three-run homer Monday, sparking the Boston Red Sox to a 12-8 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

The Red Sox, having lost twice in a three-game weekend series against the New York Yankees, climbed 1 ½ games in front of idle Texas at the top of the American League wild-card race. Boston is seven games behind the Yankees in the AL East.

Boston took a 9-4 lead through four innings, but only three of those runs were earned. A fielding error by Chicago starter Jose Contreras opened the gates for Boston's big third inning.

Ramon Ramirez (6-3) earned the win and Jonathan Papelbon recorded the final four outs for his 28th save.

The Mariners scored the decisive runs off Ramon Ramirez (5-3), who gave up a leadoff single to Franklin Gutierrez in the 11th and walked Ryan Langerhans.

Chris Woodward moved the runners up with a sacrifice and Johnson doubled them both home. He had also driven in a run in the fourth with a double.

Boston overcame a 5-1 deficit with a four-run ninth inning, led by a two-run homer by Kevin Youkilis and Rocco Baldelli's score-tying two-run single.

Dustin Pedroia also had one RBI for the Red Sox, who have won four of their last six games.

Wednesday's winner was Ramon Ramirez (5-2). Closer Jonathan Papelbon earned his 20th save with a 1-2-3 ninth, one game after he blew a save in Baltimore's 11-10 win Tuesday when the Orioles rallied back from a 10-1 deficit.
