ARLINGTON, Texas – Marlon Byrd hit a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning and the Texas Rangers, long after Joba Chamberlain left with a shoulder injury, snapped a 10-game home losing streak to the New York Yankees with a 9-5 victory Monday night.

Already missing No. 1 starter Chien-Ming Wang and right-hander Phil Hughes from a top-heavy rotation, the Yankees lost Chamberlain when he came out with a stiff right shoulder in the fifth.

It was uncertain whether Chamberlain will be able to make his next scheduled start, but New York is likely to be cautious with the 22-year-old right-hander – even in a tight playoff race.

Reds 6, Brewers 3

CINCINNATI – Right-hander Bronson Arroyo lasted six innings on a muggy night and hit a bases-loaded double on Monday, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-3 victory that left the Milwaukee Brewers with a next-to-nothing lead in the NL wild card race.

The Brewers seem to be losing their composure, too. After left-hander Manny Parra (9-5) left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, first baseman Prince Fielder went up to him in the dugout and exchanged words. Fielder then shoved Parra twice before teammates pulled him away.

Since they were tied with the Cubs for first place in the NL Central on July 26, the Brewers have dropped seven of nine. They saw their lead for the wild card reduced to a half-game over idle St. Louis with their latest loss.

Arroyo (10-8) extended his midseason surge, winning for the sixth time in his last seven starts.

Indians 5, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Cliff Lee tied the major league lead with his 15th win and the Cleveland Indians stayed unbeaten against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays this season with a 5-2 victory on Monday night.

Lee (15-2) went seven innings, giving up two runs and eight hits. The left-hander is 9-2 in 13 road starts.

David Dellucci hit his 100th career homer for the Indians, who improved to 20-36 on the road. Cleveland is 5-0 against the Rays this season, including a four-game sweep at home July 10-13.

Akinori Iwamura drove in both runs for Tampa Bay, which fell to 43-17 at home.

Blue Jays 6, Athletics 1

TORONTO – Roy Halladay pitched eight strong innings and Toronto handed Oakland its season-high seventh straight loss.

Oakland is a major league-worst 2-14 since the All-Star break, and 9-23 since June 28.

Halladay (13-8) had retired eight in a row and 16 of 18 overall when Bobby Crosby ended his shutout bid with a homer to left in the eighth. It was Crosby’s fifth of the year. Halladay gave up four hits, walked one and struck out eight.

Oakland right-hander Sean Gallagher allowed the first two runs by hitting batters with the bases loaded, plunking Marco Scutaro in the second and Adam Lind in the third. Gallagher (1-1) allowed five runs – four earned – and four hits in three innings, his shortest start of the year. He walked four and struck out four.
