The American League roundup …
MINNEAPOLIS ó Francisco Liriano sniffed his second no-hitter of the season, sitting in the dugout for nearly a half-hour before Adrian Beltre led off the eighth inning with a clean single, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers 6-1 Sunday.
Liriano (4-6), who held the Chicago White Sox hitless in a wild effort May 3, was perfect through the sixth against the high-scoring Rangers.
Elvis Andrus was the first Texas player to reach base, on rookie third baseman Luke Hughesí fielding error with one out in the seventh on a questioned ruling.
The Twins scored five times in a 29-minute bottom of the seventh.
Red Sox 14, Blue Jays 1
TORONTO ó Jon Lester pitched two-hit ball over eight innings, David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis each homered and drove in four runs and the Boston Red Sox won their ninth in a row, battering the Toronto Blue Jays.
Adrian Gonzalez and Dustin Pedroia also homered for Boston.
Yankees 9, Indians 1
NEW YORKó Derek Jeter had a pair of RBI singles, Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs and the New York Yankees pounded out a season-high 18 hits in beating the slumping Cleveland Indians.
Jeter singled during a five-run fifth inning and again during a three-run eighth, closing within seven hits of 3,000. The Yankeesí captain has four more games during their homestand to reach the milestone before the team heads out on a six-game trip.
