Los Angeles 6 20 NL St. Monday night's Blue Jays-White Sox game was a remarkable 1 hour, 54 minutes long, the shortest major-league game in four years. That would be the Sept. Behind pitcher Jesse Barnes, the Giants won Barnes threw a complete game, striking out two and walking none. Phillies pitcher Lee Meadows also threw a complete game and took the loss.

George "High Pockets" Kelly had three hits for the Giants and scored once. It's definitely exciting to get him a win. Ryan Dempster gave up four runs in three innings with four walks in his third straight poor start for Boston. Bottom line is I've got to fix that. I can't get myself in that kind of trouble.

Every Cleveland starting batter had a hit and all except Jason Kipnis scored. Carlos Santana reached base five times with a single and four walks. The Indians took a lead in the first on an RBI double by Stubbs and made it in the third, scoring on a two-run single by Reynolds and a force play at second on a grounder by Mike Aviles. The Red Sox cut that to in the third on David Ortiz 's eighth homer of the season but wasted a chance for a bigger inning.

Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a single and took second on a walk to Daniel Nava. Dustin Pedroia then singled, but Ellsbury was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Bourn. Ortiz then hit the next pitch for his three-run homer. Run-scoring singles by Asdrubal Cabrera in the fourth and Bourn in the fifth made it before the Indians scored six runs when they sent 10 men to the plate in the sixth.

They loaded the bases with no outs on a walk to Cabrera, a single by Michael Brantley and a walk to Santana. Yan Gomes followed with a two-run double after first baseman Mike Napoli dropped his foul pop for an error. Aviles hit an infield pop for the first out, but Stubbs tripled in two runs and Bourn singled in another before Wilson struck out the next two batters.

It is all earned and deserved.
