ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -Jose Lopez hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning and Seattle beat Tampa Bay 4-3 on Tuesday night, eliminating the defending AL champions from the postseason.
Ichiro Suzuki had a two-run homer for the Mariners, who ended Tampa Bay's four-game winning streak.
Lopez gave Seattle a 4-3 lead with his 25th homer off Dan Wheeler (4-5) with one out in the eighth. Miguel Batista (7-4) struck out three over two perfect innings before Mark Lowe pitched the ninth for his third save.
B.J. Upton drove in two runs for Tampa Bay, which has won five of eight after an 11-game losing skid. The Rays lost to Philadelphia in last season's World Series.
Tigers 3, Indians 1
CLEVELAND (AP) - Edwin Jackson pitched seven shutout innings and remained unbeaten against Cleveland this season as first-place Detroit remained 2 1/2 games in front of Minnesota in the AL Central.
The Indians lost their ninth straight.
In losing nine of 13, the Tigers let a season-high, seven-game lead on Sept. 6 slip to two over the Twins last weekend.
Ryan Raburn homered in the third off Aaron Laffey (7-7) and the Tigers tacked on two runs in the eighth off reliever Chris Perez.
Jackson (13-7) improved to 4-0 in five starts against Cleveland. The right-hander gave up seven hits and got out of jams in the fifth and sixth with inning-ending double plays.
Twins 8, White Sox 6
CHICAGO (AP) - Michael Cuddyer hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth and Matt Tolbert homered in the same inning for Minnesota.
The Twins won for the eighth time in nine games despite blowing two leads and getting a dismal start from Jeff Manship.
Orlando Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Jason Kubel added a solo shot for the Twins. Cuddyer finished 3 for 4 and a triple short of the cycle, while Joe Mauer had an RBI double.
Jesse Crain (7-4) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the victory and Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his 43rd save.
Gordon Beckham hit a two-run homer and Alex Rios and Paul Konerko added solo shots for the White Sox, who have lost six of seven.
John Danks (12-10) allowed seven runs and eight hits in six innings.
Royals 5, Red Sox 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Zack Greinke held Boston to two hits in six scoreless innings.
Greinke (15-8) is 3-0 with an 0.26 ERA in his past five starts, allowing 18 hits and one earned run in 35 innings. With the stretch, Greinke has lowered his major league-leading ERA to 2.08. He became the first Royal to win at least 15 games in a season since Paul Byrd won 17 in 2002.
Byrd (1-2) was the losing pitcher.
The Royals batted around in a five-run first, which included Alex Gordon's two-run, two-out single. The first five batters reached base and scored.
Byrd settled down after the first, going 6 2-3 innings and not allowing another run. He yielded five runs and nine hits and four walks.
Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5, 11 innings
TORONTO (AP) - Aaron Hill doubled home the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning and Toronto handed Baltimore its sixth straight loss.
Hill, who hit a solo home run, reached 100 RBIs for the first time in his career.
Shawn Camp (2-6) pitched one inning for the win.
Facing right-hander Dennis Sarfate (0-1), the seventh Baltimore pitcher of the game, Jose Bautista walked to lead off the 11th. Hill followed with a double to right-center and Bautista scored without a throw.
Edwin Encarnacion hit two homers, a two-run drive and a solo shot, for the fourth multihomer game of his career as Toronto improved to 7-1 at home against the Orioles this season.
