Santana, Angels cool off Tigers

Ervin Santana didn't spend the pregame period Friday night worrying about his past troubles at Comerica Park.

He claimed he didn't remember any past problems at the Detroit Tigers' home field.

Ignorant -- or not -- of his 15.26 ERA in Detroit, Santana limited the Tigers to 3 runs on 6 hits in 6½ innings to lead the Los Angeles to a 4-3 win.

"I don't even know what I've ever done here before," Santana said. "Was it bad?"

Santana didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning in improving to 4-0 this season. Three of his wins have come on the road after entering the 2008 with a 10-21 record away from home.

"We've never worried about that internally," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We know that if we get his mechanics right, he's going to be fine no matter where he is pitching."

Los Angeles scored all 4 runs in the fourth inning off tigers starter Nate Robertson (0-3), including a 2-run homer by Vladimir Guerrero.

"I really don't know what to say about him -- he's a freak of nature," Robertson said of Guerrero. "I threw everything I had in that at-bat, and he still hit it out. He's good."

Indians 6, Yankees 4: Jhonny Peralta hit a 3-run homer off Andy Pettitte in the fifth inning, and host Cleveland won its fourth straight, beating New York in the Yankees' first visit since last year's AL playoffs.

Peralta's big shot off Pettitte (3-2) put the Indians ahead 4-3, and Franklin Gutierrez followed with a homer off the lefty.

Jason Giambi homered twice, and Hideki Matsui also connected for the Yankees.

Down 3-1, the Indians scored four times with two outs in the fifth off a tiring Pettitte.

Travis Hafner singled to left and Victor Martinez followed with a base hit. Peralta, who came in batting just .184 (7-for-38) in his last 11 games, drove a 3-1 pitch over the 19-foot-high wall in left to make it 4-3. Gutierrez followed with his second homer -- and first since his first at-bat this season -- for a 5-3 lead.

"I ran out of gas," Pettitte said. "I hit a wall there. It's extremely disappointing to have the lead and give it up. With two outs all night, they really made me work extremely hard and just wore me down."

Matsui brought the Yankees within a run in the sixth with his fourth homer, chasing Byrd. Perez came on and handled the Yankees with ease.

The Indians made it 6-4 in the sixth off former teammate Billy Traber, again scoring with two outs. Grady Sizemore walked, stole second and scored when Carroll dropped a soft single into left.

Rays 5, Red Sox 4 (11): Nathan Haynes singled with no outs in the 11th inning, driving in Carl Crawford from second base and helping host Tampa Bay win its fourth straight by beating Boston.

Haynes lined an 0-1 pitch from Mike Timlin (2-2) to right field after Crawford, who was 3-for-6 and scored three runs, began the rally with a single and stole second. Timlin walked B.J. Upton before giving up the game-winning hit.

Royals 8, Blue Jays 4: John Buck doubled twice and drove in a pair of runs, and Kansas City used a 6-run eighth inning to beatg visiting Toronto and snap a seven-game losing streak.

Leo Nunez (2-0) go the win in relief, even though he allowed 3 runs.

Rangers 6, Twins 5 (10): David Murphy hit a 10th-inning RBI single and Texas snapping its seven-game losing streak with a victory over visiting Minnesota.

Justin Morneau, who has battered Texas pitching, drove in all of 5 Twins runs with a third-inning grand slam and an RBI single in the first.
