AP , BOSTON

At Anaheim, California, Seattle's Jarrod Washburn beat his former Angels teammates for the second time this year, and Raul Ibanez homered.

Coming off his worst start of the season, Washburn (4-7) went six innings and held the Los Angeles to one run. He scattered six hits, walked one and struck out four.

The Mariners' left-hander had given up seven runs in 4 1-3 innings of a 9-4 loss to Kansas City last Sunday, his shortest outing of the year.

J.J. Putz pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances.

Kelvim Escobar (5-7) lost his fifth start in a row, again getting little offensive support.

Twins 7, Orioles 5, 12 innings

At Minneapolis, Justin Morneau's second homer of the game, a two-run walkoff shot with two outs in the 12th inning gave Minnesota a win over Baltimore.

Morneau also hit a three-run homer, giving him five RBIs for the game. His 437-foot off Bruce Chen (0-6) came on a 2-0 pitch after Nick Punto singled with two outs.

It was Morneau's third multihomer game this season.

Joe Nathan (4-0) pitched two innings for the victory.
