Red Sox End Skid – MLB Roundup For May 7th

UNDATED (AP) — Stephen Drew has put an end to the Boston Red Sox's season-high, three-game losing streak.

Drew doubled home the winning run in the 11th inning as the Bosox knocked off Minnesota 6-5. Drew was 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs after entering the game hitting .182 in 66 at-bats this season.

Dustin Pedroia (peh-DROY'-uh) hit a solo homer to put Boston ahead 5-4 in the eighth, but Joel Hanrahan served up a game-tying blast by Brian Dozier before leaving the game with tightness in his right arm.

Also in the majors, Cliff Lee allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings as Philadelphia downed San Francisco 6-2. Dominic Brown hit a solo homer and Michael Young was 3-for-4 with a two-run double.

Trevor Cahill laced a two-run triple and held the Dodgers to two runs and six hits in seven innings of Arizona's 9-2 pounding of Los Angeles. Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Ross hit consecutive homers in the fourth to help the Diamondbacks win for only the second time in seven games.

Asdrubal (as-DROO'-bul) Cabrera homered twice and Mark Reynolds launched a 460-foot blast in Cleveland's 7-3 win over Oakland. Ubaldo Jimenez (oo-BAHL'-doh hih-MEHN'-ehz) struck out a season-high eight in 5 2/3 innings to help the Indians improve to 7-1 in their last eight games.

Andrelton Simmons homered twice and collected a career-high four RBIs in Atlanta's 7-4 victory at Cincinnati. Paul Maholm (mah-HAH'-luhm) is 4-3 after limiting the Reds to a pair of runs and four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Toronto trailed 7-0 before beating Tampa Bay 8-7 on J.P. Arencibia's (ar-ehn-SEE'-bee-uhz) two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning. Colby Rasmus and Mark DeRosa also smacked two-run homers to counter Evan Longoria's grand slam.

Scott Feldman allowed just two hits in seven-plus shutout innings against his former team as the Chicago Cubs ripped Texas 9-2. Anthony Rizzo went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs to back Feldman, who hit a run-scoring single in the fifth.

Jordan Danks launched a tiebreaking solo homer in the 11th inning as Chicago rallied to beat the Royals 2-1 in Kansas City. The blast came after Danks was caught in a rundown following Alexei Ramirez's RBI single, ending the White Sox's ninth-inning rally with the go-ahead run at third.

Andrew Cashner scattered four hits over 7 1/3 innings to pitch San Diego past Miami 5-0. Jedd Gyorko (JUR'-koh) homered for the third time in six days as the Padres won for the ninth time in 12 games.

UNDATED (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have placed two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay on the 15-day disabled list because of an injured right shoulder.

Halladay is 2-4 with an 8.65 ERA in seven starts this season after allowing nine runs in 2 1/3 innings against Miami on Sunday.

Halladay will be replaced on the roster by left-hander Joe Savery.
