Ibanez belts Mariners past Twins

Raul Ibanez belted a grand slam and added a two-run single as Seattle recorded a 11-6 triumph over Minnesota.

Ibanez set a club record with six RBIs in an inning, breaking the record of five set by Ken Griffey Jr set on April 29, 1999.

The 10-run frame was one shy of a Mariners record, which was also set on the same April day against the Detroit Tigers.

Marlon Byrd delivered a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning to lift the Texas Rangers to a 9-5 victory over the New York Yankees.

David Murphy blasted a two-run homer in the fourth and Michael Young added a three-run blast in the fifth for the Rangers, who have won five of their last seven contests.

Roy Halladay pitched eight sterling innings and was supported by a four-run third as the Toronto Blue Jays recorded a 6-1 triumph over the Oakland Athletics.

Halladay (13-8) allowed four hits and one run - a solo homer by Bobby Crosby in the eighth - while striking out eight and walking one.

Cliff Lee (15-2) allowed two runs and eight hits while walking two and striking out two in seven strong innings as the Cleveland Indians continued their success against the Tampa Bay Rays with a 5-2 win.

Mark Teahen collected two hits and drove in a run as the Kansas City Royals edged the Boston Red Sox 4-3.

Torii Hunter helped the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim erase the memory of squandering a four-run lead, scoring the winning run on Chone Figgins' walk to lift his club to a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
