Tuesday’s games

Red Sox 10, Devil Rays 8 (11): At St. Petersburg, Fla., Boston crept closer to New York in the East, beating Tampa Bay on Kevin Millar’s two-out, two-run homer in the 11th inning. Boston moved within 2 1/2 games of the Yankees. Boston also climbed 33 games better than .500 for the first time since Oct. 1, 1986.

Tigers 6, White Sox 4: At Detroit, Eric Munson hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh to lead the Tigers to a victory over Chicago. Bobby Higginson reached base in all five plate appearances with a homer, double and three walks, and Omar Infante also homered for the Tigers.

Indians 5, Royals 1: At Kansas City, Mo., Ryan Ludwick, Ronnie Belliard and Casey Blake homered to power Cleveland past Kansas City, the Royals’ 100th loss of the season. The 100 losses by the Royals, picked by many as the preseason favorite in the Central, ties the team record set in 2002.
