NEW YORK – Cliff Lee threw seven sharp innings Wednesday night to beat Chien-Ming Wang in a matchup of unbeaten starters, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 3-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

Lee (6-0) became the first Indians pitcher to win his first six starts since Greg Swindell in 1988 and lowered his major league-best ERA to a microscopic 0.84. The left-hander has allowed just four earned runs in 44 2-3 innings after a rough 2007 that included a stint in the minors. He hasn’t walked a batter in 28 straight innings.

Wang (6-1) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings for the Yankees, who dropped to 3-5 on their nine-game homestand.

Victor Martinez had a sacrifice fly in the first inning, Casey Blake singled in a run in the fourth and David Dellucci added an RBI single in the fifth.

Royals 9, Angels 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – David DeJesus and Alex Gordon both homered and Kansas City, the lowest-scoring team in the AL, banged out 14 hits.

Zack Greinke (4-1) went seven innings for the victory as the Royals snapped the Angels’ four-game winning streak and won at home for just the fourth time in 13 games.

Jered Weaver (2-5) had his worst start of the year, charged with a season-high eight runs in a season-low 3 1-3 innings. The right-hander gave up 10 hits and had one walk and one strikeout.

DeJesus hit a three-run shot off him in the second and Gordon added a two-run drive in the fourth.

Blue Jays 6, Rays 2

TORONTO – Shaun Marcum came one out away from a shutout and Scott Rolen hit a two-run homer.

Marcum (4-2) struck out nine, allowing two runs in 8 2-3 innings. He won back-to-back starts for the first time this season and lowered his ERA to 2.59.

Rays starter Matt Garza (1-1) had to deal with baserunners in four of his first six innings, but didn’t give up a run until the seventh, and the Blue Jays broke it open with a five-run eighth against three Tampa Bay relievers that featured Rolen’s homer and run-scoring singles by Aaron Hill, Rod Barajas and Marco Scutaro.

Athletics 6, Orioles 5

OAKLAND, Calif. – Mark Ellis broke out of his offensive funk in a big way, hitting the first game-ending home run of his career with two outs in the 10th inning.

Ellis connected on a 1-0 pitch from loser Lance Cormier (0-1), a solo shot that hit the left-field foul pole. Ellis ended his 0-for-17 funk with a two-out single in the singled with two outs in the sixth.

Dallas Braden (1-0) pitched 2 1-3 innings and the A’s sent Baltimore to its season-worst fifth straight defeat. Oakland moved to a season-best eight games over .500 at 22-14.
