Josh Beckett rebounded from a rough stretch and the Boston Red Sox broke a scoreless tie with four runs in the sixth inning to beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 in the first game of a day-night doubleheader Wednesday.

The zero that remained on the scoreboard as Boston's Jon Lester kept rolling through Seattle's offense was certainly being noticed in the Mariners dugout.

While the throng crowded around Jose Lopez's locker, Felix Hernandez made sure he was heard over anyone else in the Seattle clubhouse.

Alex Gonzalez got even, hitting a go-ahead single in the 11th inning after failing to get a call in his previous at-bat, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 Friday to end a five-game losing streak.

Alex Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and CC Sabathia won his sixth straight start, leading the New York Yankees past the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep.

Luke Scott hit a grand slam to cap a five-run eighth inning against reliever Brandon League, and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Seattle Mariners 6-5 Thursday.
