ANAHEIM, Calif. — Adam Riggs hit a bases-loaded single over a drawn-in outfield in the 11th inning Tuesday night, giving the Anaheim Angels a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

Riggs, called up from the Salt Lake Stingers earlier in the day to replace injured third baseman Troy Glaus, lofted an opposite-field fly over the head of Gary Sheffield in right to break the scoreless tie.

Jeff DaVanon led off the 11th against Paul Quantrill (4-2) with his third single of the game, and Vladimir Guerrero followed with a single. After a sacrifice bunt by Alfredo Amezaga, Quantrill intentionally walked Casey Kotchman to get to Riggs.

Scot Shields (3-0) pitched two perfect innings for the win. The Yankees finished with only three hits — one after the third inning.

BLUE JAYS 5, TWINS 3: At Toronto, Miguel Batista wanted the special night former teammate Randy Johnson had.

Batista took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, and Toronto handed Johan Santana his first loss in 20 starts with a victory over Minnesota.

WHITE SOX 4, INDIANS 2: At Cleveland, Jon Garland pitched seven strong innings and Chicago ended the Indians' season-high five-game winning streak.

Garland (3-2) allowed one run and five hits, struck out six and walked one.

RED SOX 7, DEVIL RAYS 3: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Tim Wakefield allowed one run in seven innings and Mark Bellhorn hit a three-run homer for Boston, which handed the Devils Rays their fourth consecutive defeat.

Bellhorn homered during a five-run seventh.

ROYALS 7, RANGERS 6: At Arlington, Carlos Beltran and Matt Stairs hit three-run homers, and Kansas City rallied from a five-run deficit to beat Texas.

Mike Sweeney also homered for the Royals, who snapped a three-game skid with only their fourth road win of the season. Angel Berroa and Benito Santiago had three hits each for the Royals, who had a season-high 16.
