After LaPorta’s two-out, three-run homer beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 and moved Cleveland within 1 1/2 games of the AL Central lead, the Colorado Rockies announced they traded right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians for three minor leaguers and a player to be named.

The Indians, who had no word about Jimenez, did announce they dealt veteran infielder Orlando Cabrera to San Francisco for minor league outfielder Thomas Neal.

LaPorta connected against Joakim Soria (5-4) on a 1-1 pitch. It was Soria’s sixth blown save in 25 chances.

Tony Sipp (6-2) got the win.

In Detroit, Angels ace Dan Haren pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game against Detroit in 25 days.

Haren (11-6) walked one and struck out one while improving to 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA in two starts against the Tigers this season.

Jacob Turner , Detroit’s top prospect, allowed two runs and three hits over 5 1-3 innings in his major league debut.

The Tigers announced before the game that Turner (0-1) would return to the minors after the game, with his rotation spot going to Doug Fister. Fister and reliever David Pauley were acquired from the Mariners in a six-player trade earlier Saturday, and Fister is scheduled to start Wednesday against Texas.

In Seattle, rookie Michael Pineda had a career-high 10 strikeouts, Dustin Ackley homered, doubled and scored twice, and Seattle won for just the second time in 20 games.

Pineda (9-7) pitched 6 1-3 innings of one-hit ball, and Jeff Gray and Brandon League combined to finish the one-hitter. League earned his 24th save.

Mike Carp hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth inning, helping Seattle win at home for the first time since July 3 — although the Mariners spent most of the month on the road.

: In Toronto, Derek Holland pitched a four-hitter to win his fourth straight decision, leading Texas to the victory.

Holland (10-4) reached double digits in victories for the first time and improved to 4-0 with a 1.64 ERA since losing to Florida on July 2. The left-hander, who walked one and struck out five, leads the AL with four shutouts this season and is tied with Philadelphia left-hander Cliff Lee for the major league lead.

Mitch Moreland and Mike Napoli homered for the Rangers.

In New York,   Robinson Cano , Nick Swisher and the Yankees broke loose for 12 runs in the first inning of the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, setting a franchise record en route to a rout of the Orioles that completed a painfully embarrassing sweep.

Cano went 5 for 5 with five RBIs, a career high for hits, and Swisher smacked his second two-run homer of the day in the second game. Curtis Granderson added four hits for the Yankees, who roughed up both young pitching prospects called up from the minors to start for Baltimore.

New York opened a 15-0 lead after two innings, making it an easy night for Ivan Nova (9-4) in his return from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

In the first game, Swisher had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the Yankees backed Bartolo Colon (8-6) with plenty of production from the bottom of their lineup.

Mark Reynolds hit his 23rd homer for Baltimore. Chris Tillman (2-4) got the loss.

In Chicago, Jon Lester pitched eight strong innings and Boston got homers from Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis and three RBIs from Marco Scutaro to earn its first win in its last eight games against the White Sox.

Lester (11-4) allowed two runs and four hits with a walk and eight strikeouts to get his first victory since June 30. He lost the shutout in the seventh when Paul Konerko hit his 25th homer and gave up a solo shot to Gordon Beckham in the eighth.

Boston put it away with five runs in the top of the ninth.

In Oakland, California, Scott Sizemore hit a three-run double in the fifth inning, powering Oakland to the victory.

Hideki Matsui singled twice and reached five times for the A’s, who snapped a three-game losing streak to the Twins. Matsui is batting a major league-best .473 since the All-Star break.

Oakland also got three hits from Conor Jackson and two from Coco Crisp , who is being mentioned in trade rumors as Sunday’s non-waiver deadline approaches. Cliff Pennington extended his career-high hitting streak to 14 games and scored the go-ahead run in the second.
