Around the Bases: Tigers complete 6-run comeback

Cubs 3, Braves 1: The Cubs scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, handing Scott Downs his first blown save of the season. Travis Wood tossed seven strong innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven. Atlanta's magic number remains at one.

Yankees 6, Giants 0: Ivan Nova threw the second complete game shutout of his career, striking out seven to help the Yankees keep place in the AL Wild Card race.

Edaurdo Nunez and Alfonso Soriano each blasted home runs for New York; Soriano has 17 homers since leaving Chicago.

Rays 5, Orioles 1: Alex Cobb threw a gem, striking out 12 over 8⅓ innings. Desmond Jennings drove in four runs, blasting a three-run homer and an RBI-triple. The first pitch for Saturday's game came 10 hours, 56 minutes after Friday night's 18-inning marathon.

Indians 4, Astros 1: Scott Kazmir shutout the Astros for seven innings, surrendering four hits while fanning 10. Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first, while Asdrubal Cabrera led the team with three hits. Cleveland maintained its hold on the second AL Wild Card spot with the win.

Athletics 9, Twins 1: The Oakland offense exploded for 16 hits, lowering the Athletics' magic number to one. Alberto Callaspo paced the offense with four hits, hitting a homer and driving in three runs. Jarrod Parker turned in a quality start, allowing one run on four hits over six innings.

Mets 5, Phillies 4 (7): David Wright homered in his second straight game, helping the Mets win a rain-shortened contest.

Pirates 4, Reds 2: A.J. Burnett struck out 12 over seven innings, helping Pittsburgh gain a one-game lead over Cincinnati for the top NL Wild Card spot. Russell Martin cracked a two-run homer in the bottom of the second, while Marlon Byrd drove in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly.

Tigers 7, White Sox 6 (12): Omar Infante hit a walk-off single, helping the Tigers complete an improbable comeback:

Lance Lynn earned his 14th win of the year, only allowing one run on four hits over 6⅓ innings.
