UNDATED (AP) - There's a change atop the American League East
standings. The New York Yankees have taken over the top spot with a
6-4 win over Baltimore while the Boston Red Sox fall one game back
after dropping a 4-2 decision in Texas for their fourth straight
loss.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Make it 10 straight wins for the
Philadelphia Phillies, who are on their longest winning streak
since they won 13 straight in 1991. Jayson Werth's walkoff,
three-run home run in the 13th inning powered the Phils to a 4-1
win over the Chicago Cubs last night.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves have won nine of their last 12
after last night's 8-1 win over San Francisco. Martin Prado had
three hits and scored three times and Brian McCann hit a three-run
homer and drove in four runs as the Braves moved two games over
.500.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Boston's All-Star knuckleballer Tim
Wakefield is headed to the disabled list because of a lower back
problem. The Red Sox recalled right-hander Clay Buchholz from
Triple-A Pawtucket to start in Wakefield's place in tonight's
finale of a three-game series in Texas.
