Shannon Stewart hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, Aaron Hill added a two-run single, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Indians, 3-0, to salvage a split of the doubleheader last night.
The nightcap featured terrific pitching from Toronto's Shaun Marcum and Cleveland's Cliff Lee, who got a big assist from Cabrera in the fifth inning.
With Kevin Mench and Marco Scutaro on with singles, Cabrera made a diving backhanded catch of a line drive by Lyle Overbay, touched second base to force Mench, and then tagged out Scutaro.
It was a record third unassisted triple play by a Cleveland fielder. (Bill Wambsganss had the second one in the 1920 World Series.)
Lee got even more defensive help in the top of the ninth from first baseman Victor Martinez and rightfielder Franklin Gutierrez.
With one out and Stewart on second, Martinez, ordinarily a catcher, leaped to snare a line drive off the bat of Alex Rios. After an infield single by Scott Rolen sent Stewart to third, Mench lined an 0-2 pitch into the right-center gap. Gutierrez raced over and caught it with a dive to keep it scoreless.
Fausto Carmona (4-1) pitched a five-hitter and Cabrera hit a two-run homer in Cleveland's victory in the first game.
Lee failed to become the American League's first seven-game winner even though he worked nine scoreless innings and lowered his ERA to 0.67. The lefthander gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out five.

TWINS 7, RED SOX 3
MINNEAPOLIS - Livan Hernandez won again, Craig Monroe contributed another big hit, and Minnesota beat Boston to win the four-game series.
Manny Ramirez finally went deep, hitting career homer No. 498 in the first inning for the Red Sox. The two-run shot was his second home run in 20 games.
Hernandez (6-1) rebounded after a rough start to finish six innings for another quality outing. The Twins are 8-1 when he is on the mound.
Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz (2-3) didn't make it out of the fifth, done in by control problems and timely hits by the Twins.
The Twins have done it almost entirely with singles, speed and smart baserunning. Their 20 home runs rank one ahead of Kansas City for the fewest in the majors.

RAYS 7, YANKEES 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Matt Garza pitched seven scoreless innings and surging Tampa Bay beat nemesis Andy Pettitte and New York for its fifth consecutive victory.
Garza (2-1) allowed five hits, walked one, and struck out three while holding the Yankees in check with help from three double plays. Only one baserunner, Alberto Gonzalez in the sixth, reached as far as second base against the righthander.
Jason Bartlett and Dioner Navarro each drove in two runs for the Rays (22-16), who climbed six games over .500 for the first time in franchise history and extended their home winning streak to 10 games.

RANGERS 13, MARINERS 12
ARLINGTON, Texas - The only real fireworks between Texas and Seattle this time were the pyrotechnic displays after back-to-back home runs by Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley, and then the 10th-inning game-winning shot by Ramon Vazquez as the Rangers rallied for the victory.
Only four nights after Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson charged the mound and flung his helmet at Texas pitcher Kason Gabbard to ignite a bench-clearing brawl, the American League West rivals met again. Sexson was with his team, but not playing while serving the third game of his five-game suspension for his actions. He will miss the entire Texas series.
Vazquez's home run came with one out in the 10th off Brandon Morrow (0-1), who struck out the other four batters he faced.
