American League Kansas City 0 Minnesota 5 - Twins' starter Scott Baker (right) worked a perfect game through 8 innings, but then gave up a walk to Jose Batista to open the 9th and gave up a single with one out in the inning to Mike Sweeney and settled for a perfectly respectable one-hit complete game shutout. Baker (8-6) mowed down the Royals on 111 pitches, throwing an incredible 81 for strikes. Texas 6 LA Angels 7, 10 innings - The Angels are now up 6 1/2-games in the AL West as they won their 5th straight, improving their home record to 45-20, tops in the majors.
