ROUNDUP

Minnesota 8, at Baltimore 5: The Twins’ win eliminated Boston from the playoffs and enabled Minnesota to reduce its magic number for clinching a playoff spot to three. Any combination of Minnesota wins and Chicago losses totaling three will ensure the Twins no worse than a wild-card berth.

at Chicago 11, Seattle 7: Paul Konerko hit a go-ahead homer in a five-run eighth inning and Chicago rallied after a rain delay of 1 hour 57 minutes in the top of the sixth inning.

Cleveland 6, at Texas 3: Jhonny Peralta homered and drove in three runs for the Indians, who won for only the sixth time in their last 20 games.

at Toronto 5, Boston 3: Lyle Overbay and Troy Glaus hit consecutive homers. Overbay extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his career-high 20th home run.

at Tampa Bay 8, New York 0: Ty Wigginton and B.J. Upton homered for the Devil Rays, spoiling Randy Johnson’s bid to become the American League’s third 18-game winner.
