Red Sox take three of four in Yankees series on weekend

American League

Gabe Kapler drove in the winning run with a single in the eighth inning to lead the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 5-4 Monday.

Boston three of four games from the Yankees in the head-to-head series that began Friday.

Although Kapler came up big at the end, he was shaky in the early going -- maybe because of the 11am Patriots' Day start.

In the second inning, he failed to go from first to third on Pokey Reese's two-out single, and then attempted to tag up on the next play when Johnny Damon flied out to center to end the inning.

Alex Rodriguez finally showed a sign of pulling out of his deep slump, when he singled off Keith Foulke with two outs in the ninth. Prior to his single Rodriguez was 0-for-16 in the series with six strikeouts.

Mike Timlin (1-1) got the win and Foulke got the last three outs for his third save in three opportunities. Tom Gordon (0-1) took the loss.

Tigers 10, Indians 4

In Cleveland, Indians reliever Jake Westbrook pitched seven perfect innings, but Rondell White hit a three-run homer in Detroit's six-run eighth.

Westbrook, who struck out seven in seven innings, came on to pitch with the Indians trailing 4-0 in the first inning following a 65-minute rain delay. Before the rain shower and hailstorm, Indians starter Jeff D'Amico gave up four runs. In 12 minutes, D'Amico faced six batters, and did not get an out.

Rafael Betancourt (0-2) replaced Westbrook to start the eighth and gave up White's third homer of the season. Brandon Inge added a three-run double off Scott Stewart.

Al Levine (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 hitless innings for the win.

National League

Derrek Lee hit a grand slam, leading Matt Clement and the Chicago Cubs to an 8-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

With Chicago leading 3-1 in the seventh inning, Lee connected off reliever Ryan Wagner, sending a drive into the right-field bleachers. It was Lee's fourth career grand slam and first with the Cubs.

Clement settled down after a rocky first inning to allow one run on four hits in 6 innings.

Aramis Ramirez hit his fifth homer of the season. Corey Patterson added a two-run single for the Cubs and Alex Gonzalez had three hits and scored twice.

Jimmy Haynes (0-2) went five innings, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks.

Mets 4, Expos 1

In New York, Tyler Yates shut down the punchless Expos on five hits over 5 2-3 inning for his first career win.

Karim Garcia and Ty Wigginton homered off Tomo Ohka (0-3), and the Mets rebounded from three losses against Pittsburgh to send Montreal (2-11) to their eighth straight defeat, Montreal's worst losing streak since 2000.

Giants 4, Padres 3

In San Francisco, Barry Bonds hit his 666th homer through a swirling mist and over the center-field wall, and San Francisco held on to snap a season-worst four-game losing streak.

Bonds homered in six consecutive games with an at-bat -- he was intentionally walked as pinch-hitter Wednesday. He got his major league-leading eighth homer this season one batter after Marquis Grissom hit a two-run shot to left off David Wells (0-2).

Jerome Williams (2-1) carried a no-hit bid into the fifth before Khalil Greene's double.
