Rays 11, Orioles 2
J.P. Arencibia hit a two-run homer and drove in six runs while starter Drew Smyly threw seven shutout innings as the Tampa Bay Rays rolled to an 11-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
The Rays (66-66) won their third straight game while the Orioles (63-69) dropped their sixth in a row. Baltimore now has lost 12 out of its last 13 games thanks to a pair of these six-game losing skids.

Yankees 3, Red Sox 1
Stephen Drew delivered a go-ahead, two-run double in the fifth inning and New York earned a 3-1 victory over Boston at Fenway Park.
Drew, whose defense helped lead the Red Sox to a World Series title in 2013, started the season slowly but has the hot bat of late for the Yankees.
He is 6-for-8 with four runs and six RBIs his past three games, including a 4-for-4 day in New York's 20-6 win at Atlanta on Sunday.

Blue Jays 5, Indians 3 (10 innings)
Ryan Goins hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning as Toronto defeated Cleveland 5-3.
With his homer against right-hander Bryan Shaw (3-3), Goins extended his career-best hit streak to 11 games.
Yan Gomes tied the game 3-3 with his second homer in the game with one out in the ninth against right-hander Roberto Osuna.

Marlins 7, Braves 1
Rookie Justin Nicolino pitched seven scoreless innings, his fourth consecutive quality start, and Miami notched a win over Atlanta at Turner Field.
Nicolino (3-2) scattered six hits, walked two and struck out three. It matched the seven scoreless innings he threw in his major league debut against Cincinnati on June 20.

Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 4
Newcomer Phil Gosselin hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs as Arizona beat Colorado in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
The Diamondbacks acquired Gosselin from the Braves in late July when he was recovering from surgery on his fractured left thumb. He was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Monday and that night went hitless in his Diamondbacks debut.
