Robinson Cano  added a solo shot for the Yankees,  shut down by Seattle co-aces  Cliff Lee  and Felix Hernandez  the previous two nights.

Sabathia (10-3) took a three-hit shutout into the eighth before a leadoff walk and a passed ball by catcher Jorge Posada  led to Russell Branyan’s  two-run single that tied it at 2.

Mark Teixeira  singled off closer David Aardsma  (0-5) with one out in the bottom half and Rodriguez homered,  his 595th.

Mariano Rivera  worked a perfect ninth for his 18th save.

Indians 6  Blue Jays 1: At Cleveland,  Justin Masterson  took a shutout into the ninth inning and Matt LaPorta  homered for the third straight game in Cleveland’s season-high fifth-straight win.

Toronto has lost five in a row, matching its worst skid this year.

Masterson (3-7) blanked the Blue Jays until Jose Bautista  led off the ninth with a double and Aaron Hill  hit an RBI single with one out. Frank Herrmann  relieved with the bases loaded and got Jose Molina  to bounce into a double play for his first major league save.

Masterson gave up eight hits, walked none and struck out five.

Shawn Marcum  (7-4) allowed five runs and six hits in four innings.

Athletics 8 Orioles 1: At Balatimore,  Trevor Cahill  pitched seven innings of four-hit ball to earn his seventh straight win,  and Oakland got four hits from Ryan Sweeney .

Sweeney,  Jack Cust  and Cliff Pennington  had two RBIs each for the A’s, who took two of three for their first road series win in five tries since May 29-31 in Detroit. Oakland has won four series away from home, half of them in Baltimore.

Cahill (8-2) gave up a run, struck out four and walked one. After starting the season in Triple-A Sacramento and losing two of his first three starts with Oakland, the right-hander is 7-0 with a 2.12 ERA over his past nine starts.

Sweeney’s four hits (all singles) tied a career high. He was 10 for 56 (.179) in his previous 17 games.

Baltimore rookie Jake Arrieta  (2-2) allowed four runs, three earned, and seven hits in six innings.

Rays 5  Twins 4, 10 innings: At Minneapolis,  Willy Aybar’s  single off Matt Guerrier  gave Tampa a 10th-inning lead.

Jon Rauch  blew a save for the fourth time this season when Carl Crawford — who had four hits and an RBI—singled and scored on Evan Longoria’s  tying double in the ninth.

Delmon Young  homered,  drove in two runs and prevented another with an inning-ending outfield assist against his former team, but Carl Pavano  took his first no-decision of the season and his top two relievers—Rauch and Guerrier (1-3)—didn’t hold up at the end.

Lance Cormier  (3-1) pitched a perfect ninth, and Rafael Soriano  picked up his 20th save.

Pavano’s scoreless innings streak ended at 16 on John Jaso’s  RBI single in the fourth.

Jeff Niemann  went 6 2-3 innings and has finished at least the sixth in 15 straight starts.

Angels 2  Rangers 1: At Anaheim, Calif.,  Jered Weaver  pitched two-hit ball over seven scoreless innings to lead Los Angeles.

The second-place Angels took two of three from the Rangers, whose AL West lead was reduced to 3 1/2 games—still the largest in the American League.

Weaver (8-3) struck out six and walked two in lowering his ERA to 1.70 in eight home starts. His 124 strikeouts lead the AL, and he has 28 in his last three starts while allowing just three walks.

Brian Fuentes  pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 15th save.

Texas’ C.J. Wilson  (6-4) gave up two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, losing for the first time since May 29 at Minnesota.
