SAN FRANCISCO – Eric Byrnes hit for the cycle, and Mark Mulder became the majors’ fourth 11-game winner as the Oakland Athletics beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 Sunday in the finale of the Bay Bridge Series.

Byrnes matched the A’s franchise record with five hits. He singled in the first, doubled in the second and seventh, homered in the fifth and tripled in the ninth inning when Carlos Valderrama misplayed his sinking liner in center field.

He got a standing ovation from the San Francisco crowd when he reached third base, becoming the 16th player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. Byrnes extended his latest hitting streak to 12 games- against his favorite team while growing up in the Bay area, no less.

Byrnes became the first player to hit for the cycle at Pacific Bell Park – and the first to do it for Oakland since Miguel Tejada on Sept. 29, 2001, against Seattle.

Mulder (11-5) allowed six hits and one run over seven sharp innings.

Pirates 9, Rockies 0

PITTSBURGH – Matt Stairs homered and drove in four runs and Jeff Suppan pitched Pittsburgh’s first complete game in more than a year as the Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 9-0 Sunday.

Kenny Lofton and Jason Kendall sparked all of Pittsburgh’s scoring against Rockies starter Shawn Chacon (11-4) by reaching base in three of the first four innings. Chacon was trying to become the majors’ first 12-game winner, but left trailing 6-0 after four innings.

Cardinals 13, Royals 6

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Albert Pujols hit two solo homers and drove in three runs as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Kansas City Royals 13-6 on Sunday.

Pujols went 4-for-6, raising his major league-leading average to .391. He opened St. Louis’ two-run fourth inning with his first homer of the day, giving the Cardinals a 6-2 lead, and made it 8-2 with a leadoff shot that sparked St. Louis’ six-run sixth.

Indians 3, Reds 1

CLEVELAND – Rookie right-hander Jason Davis pitched 7 2-3 sharp innings and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 Sunday.

Rangers 8, Astros 5

HOUSTON – Rafael Palmeiro connected for his 509th career home run and Alex Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking, two-run triple, rallying the Texas Rangers to an 8-5 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Palmeiro’s leadoff homer in the seventh tied it at 3, tying him with Sammy Sosa for 17th on the career list.

Cubs 5, White Sox 2

CHICAGO – Kerry Wood quieted the Chicago White Sox and their rowdy fans, leading the Cubs to a 5-2 victory that snapped their season-long four-game losing skid Sunday.

Moises Alou and Jose Hernandez homered off Esteban Loaiza to help the Cubs avoid a three-game sweep in the heated crosstown series.

Twins 5, Brewers 4

MINNEAPOLIS – Luis Rivas scored form second base on Cristian Guzman’s infield single with two outs in the 10th inning, giving the Minnesota Twins a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Padres 8, Mariners 6

SEATTLE – Rondell White tied it with a one-out grand slam and pinch-hitter Keith Lockhart hit a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning as the San Diego Padres rallied to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-6 on Sunday.

Expos 10, Blue Jays 2

TORONTO – Tomo Ohka pitched a two-hitter and Ron Calloway drove in four runs as the Montreal Expos beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-2 Sunday.

Ohka (7-7) didn’t allow a hit until Carlos Delgado doubled with two outs in the seventh. Toronto’s Frank Catalanotto reached on an error before Delgado lined a ball to left for an RBI double.

Phillies 4, Orioles 3

BALTIMORE – Jose Mesa became the Philadelphia Phillies’ career save leader, cementing a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday to cap a three-game sweep.

Mesa got the final three outs for his 17th save of the season and 104th with Philadelphia since joining the team in November 2000. He broke the mark held by Steve Bedrosian, who had 103 saves from 1986-89.

Braves 2, Devil Rays 0

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Russ Ortiz pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning and Andruw Jones broke a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the sixth, leading the Atlanta Braves over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2-0 Sunday.

Diamondbacks 5, Tigers 3

DETROIT – Robby Hammock’s two-run homer in the 10th inning Sunday lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers, extending their franchise-record winning streak to 11 games.

Hammock also had an RBI single and Steve Finley homered for the Diamondbacks, who sent Detroit to its ninth straight loss and 21st in 23 games.

Angels 3, Dodgers 1

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Aaron Sele scattered four hits over five shutout innings and Darin Erstad hit a two-run single as the Anaheim Angels beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Sunday to sweep the Freeway Series.

The Angels, who won one of three games at Dodger Stadium the previous weekend, scored three runs in the second inning off Odalis Perez.

Yankees 5, Mets 3

NEW YORK – Jason Giambi, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada homered in a rapid-fire third inning, leading Jeff Weaver and the New York Yankees over the Mets 5-3 Sunday night for a season sweep of the Subway Series.

The largest crowd of the season at Yankee Stadium – 55,444 – saw the Yankees finish 6-0 against their city rivals. The Yankees tied their longest winning streak of the year at seven and reached the halfway mark at 51-30.

Mets manager Art Howe was ejected for the first time this season as his team lost its fifth straight and ninth in 10 games.

Yankees manager Joe Torre, meanwhile, watched Weaver deliver the kind of performance they’ve both been waiting for.

Bounced in and out of the rotation lately, Weaver (4-6) had been 0-4 in six starts since his last victory on May 15. Upset after being tagged for a three-run homer by Jeromy Burnitz in the first inning, Weaver quickly regained his composure and at one point retired 14 batters in a row.

Al Leiter (8-5) gave up three homers in an inning for the first time in his career. They came in a span of only 10 pitches and accounted for the Yankees’ runs.

After Alfonso Soriano walked with one out and Derek Jeter singled, Giambi hit a high, long drive to left-center. With two outs, Matsui lined a shot into the right-field seats and Posada followed with a homer to left.

The inning was set up when Soriano hustled into third base on Jeter’s single, barely beating the throw from center fielder Timo Perez. Howe, upset by umpire Tim Timmons’ strike zone Saturday night, didn’t like Timmons’ call at third, either, and was tossed.

Giambi’s homer was his 22nd and second in two games. Matsui hit a grand slam and reached base in nine of 10 plate appearances during Saturday’s two-park doubleheader sweep.

Weaver pitched three-hit ball for seven innings. When Burnitz homered, the demonstrative pitcher shook both of his hands in frustration and shouted in disgust. He was booed leaving the mound when the inning ended.

But in the seventh, the Yankees saw some positive emotion from Weaver. Cliff Floyd led off with a double, the Mets’ first hit since Burnitz homered, and Burnitz popped out.

Weaver hopped off the mound when he struck out Ty Wigginton with a sidearm breaking ball, then slammed his right hand into his glove when he retired Jason Phillips on a fly ball to preserve the two-run lead.

Chris Hammond worked a scoreless eighth and Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save in 15 chances.

The Yankees became the first team to sweep a season series in the New York-New York matchup, outscoring the Mets 39-19. The Yankees, of course, beat the Mets in the most meaningful Subway Series of all, the five-game World Series in 2000.

Notes: Mets LHP John Franco tweaked his right foot when he stepped awkwardly on first base while covering the bag in the seventh inning. After a few warmups, he stayed in the game. … Howe, Burnitz and Mets RHP David Weathers were ejected in the six-game Subway Series. No Yankees were thrown out. … Leiter walked six in six innings. He’s walked exactly six in four of his last eight starts. … The Yankees hit consecutive homers for the second straight game. Soriano and Jeter led off Saturday night’s game at Shea Stadium with shots.
