* INTERLEAGUE

Ervin Santana took a perfect game into the seventh inning before finishing with a one-hitter, and Mark Trumbo hit a two-run homer in the Los Angeles Angels' 2-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night at Anaheim, Calif.

Santana bounced back from several rough outings by retiring Arizona's first 20 hitters before Justin Upton's two-out single to center in the seventh.

The Dominican right-hander then retired the next five Diamondbacks before pinch-hitter Miguel Montero drew a four-pitch walk in the ninth, but Santana finished up his first complete game of the season with two fly balls.

Yankees 5, Nationals 3, 14 inn.: Mark Teixeira hit a two-run double in the 14th and New York won at Washington for its eighth straight victory.

Brewers 6, Twins 2: At Minneapolis, Ryan Braun hit two home runs and Michael Fiers pitched seven strong innings to lead Milwaukee past Minnesota.

Cardinals 10, Royals 7: Matt Holliday homered and drove in five runs and Yadier Molina homered and drove in four, leading St. Louis past visiting Kansas City.

Blue Jays 6, Phillies 5, 10 inn.: Rajai Davis drove home the winning run with a two-out drive in the 10th inning that bounced over the wall and host Toronto rallied past Philadelphia, extending Cliff Lee's winless streak to 11 starts.

Pirates 9, Indians 2: A.J. Burnett became the first Pittsburgh pitcher since 1990 to win six straight starts and Pedro Alvarez homered twice as the Pirates won at Cleveland.

Athletics 6, Padres 4: Jonny Gomes' two-run pinch-hit homer in the seventh inning helped Oakland beat visiting San Diego.

Tigers 4, Rockies 1: Doug Fister pitched six shutout innings in his return from the disabled list, Miguel Cabrera homered and Detroit beat visiting Colorado.

White Sox 5, Dodgers 4: Alexei Ramirez opened the scoring with a two-run single and scored the go-ahead run for Chicago in a win at Los Angeles.

Orioles 5, Braves 0: Jason Hammel pitched a one-hitter for his first career shutout, allowing only Jason Heyward's two-out single in the seventh inning, and Baltimore won at Atlanta.

Rangers 8, Astros 3: At Arlington, Texas, Nelson Cruz hit a towering three-run homer the pitch after Adrian Beltre's two-run single and Texas routed Houston.

Red Sox 4, Cubs 3: Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered to back a strong start by Jon Lester, and struggling Boston won at Chicago.
