MLB:

- Jamie Shields held Boston to only two runs on five hits over 6.1 innings to help the Rays top the Red Sox 5-4. The home team has dominated every contest in this series this season and the Rays have now opened up a 1.5 game lead over the Sox in the AL East.

- Roy Halladay threw his 10th career shutout, limiting the Mariners to four hits in the Jays’ 2-0 win. It was the third straight victory for Halladay.

- The Cubs got back on track Monday by gorilla-smacking the Giants 9-2. Barry Zito is obviously the cure for what ails all struggling clubs. Mark DeRosa had a banner night, going 3 for 4 with two home runs (including a grand slam), six RBI and three runs scored.

- Jhonny Peralta went 5 for 5 with three RBI and three runs scored, but the Tribe fell to the White Sox 9-7. Gavin Floyd won his ninth game of the year for the Chi Sox, who are now 2.5 games up on the second place Twins.

NFL:

- Patriots’ defensive back Willie Andrews was arrested Monday for allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend’s head after she accused him of cheating on her. Couple that charge with the gun-related charge he got in 2002 while playing at the University of Baylor and Andrews is building up quite a track record.
