UNDATED (AP) - Tampa Bay and Boston remain tied for the American

Matt Joyce hit a go-ahead, three-run homer after Ben Zobrist
went deep. The Red Sox held off Baltimore 8-7 after
Ryan Lavarnway hit a three-run homer and a solo shot to help Boston
take an 8-4 lead.
UNDATED (AP) - The St. Louis Cardinals have caught up to Atlanta
for the National League wild card by crushing Houston 13-6 while

delivered a tiebreaking, two-run triple in the
seventh for the Redbirds after Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt
completed a three-hitter against the Braves.

White Sox contract on Monday after eight seasons, one World Series
championship and two division titles.

the owners' labor relations committee would be prepared to return
to the table this week if necessary.

to capture the FedEx Cup.
