Athletics 4, Blue Jays 1

OAKLAND, Calif. — Sonny Gray allowed four hits over seven innings to bounce back from his worst start of the season and Oakland beat Toronto. The Blue Jays scored their only run with the help of an odd replay challenge by manager John Gibbons, who wanted to have his own player called out.

Orioles 5, Rangers 2

BALTIMORE — Steve Pearce had a career-high four hits and drove in two runs, and Wei-Yin Chen shut down Texas again as Baltimore completed a four-game sweep of the Rangers. The Rangers have lost nine consecutive road games — their longest skid since 2005 when current Orioles manager Buck Showalter was at the helm. Baltimore (46-39) completed its first four-game sweep against Texas since 2004 and improved to a season-high seven games over .500.

Yankees 7, Twins 4

MINNEAPOLIS — Carlos Beltran gave the foundering Yankees a jolt with a three-run homer, lifting Masahiro Tanaka to his major league-leading 12th win and helping New York end a season-worst five-game skid with a victory over Minnesota. Zelous Wheeler homered in his big league debut after eight years in the minors. David Robertson notched his 19th save with a hitless ninth inning and the Yankees started an 11-game road trip with a sigh-of-relief performance that put their record back at the .500 mark.

MIAMI — Ben Revere scored the go-ahead run when Miami second baseman Donovan Solano bobbled a grounder in the ninth, and Philadelphia rallied past the Marlins to snap a six-game losing streak. Tony Gwynn Jr. led off the ninth with a walk and eventually scored the tying run against Miami closer Steve Cishek (4-4). Revere scored easily when Chase Utley hit a grounder and Solano could only get the out at first.
