Durazo opened the ninth with a lazy fly to center against Damaso Marte (2-2), but Aaron Rowand lost it in the sun. With two runners on and one out, Scutaro slapped a single down the left-field line, easily scoring Durazo.
Justin Duchscherer (2-0) pitched 1 1-3 innings to lower his ERA to 0.66.
"I felt like he made an attempt to get hit by it, but you never see that call," Duchscherer said of his pitch to Crede. "I was fortunate to get that call, because you don't know what could have happened after that."
Other results: Angels 5, Yankees 1; Tigers 10, Indians 3; Blue Jays 8, Devil Rays 2; Rangers 8, Mariners 2; Twins 9, Royals 4.
