JHONNY Peralta's flyball sent Detroit's Ryan Raburn crashing through a bullpen door for an inside-the-park homer, and Jeanmar Gomez won his major league debut as the Cleveland Indians beat the Tigers 7-2 victory to complete a four-game sweep.
Gomez (1-0), called up from minor league side Columbus to make a spot start, allowed two unearned runs over seven innings. With runners on first and second and two outs, Peralta hit a 1-1 pitch from Andy Oliver (0-4) toward the Cleveland bullpen.
Centerfielder Raburn tried for a leaping catch, but tumbled through the bullpen door.
The ball caromed off the wall and by the time left fielder Brennan Boesch could retrieve it, Peralta, one of the slowest players on Cleveland's roster, was chugging around the bases.
In New York, Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees knocked around All-Star pitcher David Price, overcoming an early injury to Andy Pettitte with brilliant work by the bullpen to beat Tampa Bay Rays 9-5.
Robinson Cano hit a two-run triple, Jorge Posada a two-run double and Rodriguez added his 598th home run for the Yankees, who took two of three in a series between the top two teams in baseball to move three games ahead of Tampa Bay in the AL East.
Five relievers picked up for Pettitte, who came out in the third inning because of a strained left groin. The 38-year-old All-Star was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital for an MRI, the team said.
Elsewhere, it was: Rangers 4, Red Sox 2; Blue Jays 10, Orioles 1; Athletics 9, Royals 6; Mariners 2, Angels 1, 10 innings; and Twins, 7, White Sox 6.
In the National League, Chris Iannetta homered off left-hander Travis Wood, who was coming off a nearly perfect performance, and Aaron Cook got a breakthrough win on the road in the Colorado Rockies' 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Iannetta connected in the sixth, one of only three hits off Wood (0-1), the rookie who allowed only one hit over nine innings his last time out but got no decision.
Colorado salvaged the final game of the series behind Cook (4-5), who had been one of only four full-time NL starters without a road win this season. He'd been 0-5 away from Coors Field.
In Chicago, Roy Halladay hit Marlon Byrd twice and gave up two-run homers to Geovany Soto and Alfonso Soriano after each errant throw, sending the Cubs 11-6 over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Byrd became the first Cubs player in 105 years to be hit by a pitch 16 times in a season and Chicago took advantage of a rare wild night for Halladay, winning three of four in its first series since the All-Star break.
In action elsewhere, it was: Padres 6, Diamondbacks 4; Pirates 9, Astros 0; Mets 4, Giants 3, 10 innings; Cardinals 5, Dodgers 4; Braves 11, Brewers 6; and Marlins 1, Nationals 0.
