ARLINGTON, Texas — Cliff Lee threw a seven-hitter to help Seattle snap a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over Texas on Monday night.
Lee (4-2), who struck out seven and walked none, didn't allow a run until Josh Hamilton's one-out RBI single in the ninth, when Michael Young and Ian Kinsler had consecutive singles to start the inning. Another run came home on a fielder's choice.
It was the 15th career complete game for Lee and second in his eight starts since the Mariners acquired him from Philadelphia last winter.
Michael Saunders hit a three-run homer for Seattle, and Rob Johnson had an RBI single off Scott Feldman (3-6).
Feldman allowed four runs, three earned.
RED SOX 4, INDIANS 1: At Cleveland, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched eight shutout innings leading Boston to the win. Matsuzaka (5-2) gave up four hits — all singles — and was never threatened by Cleveland's punchless lineup. The right-hander continued a remarkable run by Boston's starters on the road. In the club's last nine games outside Fenway Park, the Red Sox rotation is 8-0 with a 0.70 ERA. He walked two, struck out five and allowed only two runners to reach second before he was replaced to start the ninth by Daniel Bard, who gave up a leadoff homer to Austin Kearns. Marcus Scutaro hit three doubles and scored twice as the Red Sox improved to 9-2 on the road since May 18. Boston made the most of its five hits off Fausto Carmona (4-5) in six innings.
ANGELS 4, ATHLETICS 2: At Oakland, Calif., Bobby Abreu hit a two-run homer, and Scott Kazmir won for the third time in four starts for the Angels' season-best sixth straight victory. Erick Aybar added an RBI triple as the Angels improved to 8-1 since Kendry Morales broke his leg jumping on home plate in a celebration following his game-ending grand slam against Seattle on May 29. Abreu's first-inning drive gave Los Angeles a quick lead and the Angels only built on it from there. Manager Mike Scioscia returned following a one-game absence for his daughter's high school graduation. Howie Kendrick singled in a run as the Angels won their sixth straight in Oakland.
