CLEVELAND – Russell Branyan hit a two-out, two-run single in the ninth inning Thursday night, rallying the Cleveland Indians to a crazy 8-7 win over the Boston Red Sox.

Cleveland overcame three errors in one inning by third baseman Andy Marte, a blown save by Kerry Wood and an eighth-inning disruption by two unruly fans.

Adrian Beltre’s two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Wood (1-2) put Boston ahead 7-6.

The Indians quickly loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom half against Daniel Bard (1-2). Bard, closing while Jonathan Papelbon is on the bereavement list, then struck out Travis Hafner and retired Jhonny Peralta on a foulout.

But Branyan delivered, looping a single over second baseman Dustin Pedroia in shallow right field.

Orioles 4, Yankees 3 – In Baltimore, Jake Arrieta pitched six innings of four-hit ball to win his major league debut, and Baltimore ended its 10-game losing streak against New York.

Blue Jays 3, Rays 2 – St. Petersburg, Fla., Brett Cecil won his fifth consecutive start, Alex Gonzalez homered and drove in two runs and Toronto beat Tampa Bay.
