Hochevar notches shutout

Former Tennessee Vol Luke Hochevar pitched a three-hitter for his first career shutout and Miguel Olivo hit a pair of two-run shots and drove in a career-high six runs in an 11-0 victory at Chicago.

Hochevar (7-10) allowed just three singles and struck out five with one walk. The right-hander won his first start since July 25 and won his first game in his last eight decisions. He struck out Ramon Castro in the third inning to start a string of eight consecutive outs.

Twins 3, Tigers 0: Michael Cuddyer's two-run homer off Rick Porcello (13-9) was all Brian Duensing needed to beat Detroit and move Minnesota within three games of the AL Central lead, energizing the Twins in a home victory over the Tigers.

Red Sox 3, Orioles 1: Clay Buchholz pitched six innings of five-hit ball, and Boston extended its winning streak against Baltimore to six games.

Rays 11, Blue Jays 4: James Shields won at home for the first time in more than three months, and eight straight Tampa Bay batters reached base in a six-run third inning.

Angels 2, Rangers 0: Scott Kazmir pitched six scoreless innings to get his first win for AL West-leading Los Angeles and Vladimir Guerrero homered in a victory at Texas.

Athletics 2, Indians 1: Brett Anderson pitched six shutout innings and had 10 strikeouts, Nomar Garciaparra added two hits and an RBI and Oakland won at home.

Yankees 2, Mariners 1: Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-out, two-run homer off New York closer Mariano Rivera and Seattle won at home.
