CLEVELAND -- After completing a rare unassisted triple play a few weeks ago, the Cleveland Indians pulled off an even stranger feat with a triple steal. The Indians accomplished the feat in an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

With the bases loaded and Ben Francisco batting, White Sox pitcher Ehren Wasserman faked a throw to third and threw to first, which caught Jamey Carroll off the bag. First baseman Paul Konerko got Carroll in a brief rundown. David Dellucci broke from third and Konerko's throw to catcher Toby Hall was in the dirt, allowing Dellucci to score. Dellucci, Carroll and Grady Sizemore, who was on second when the play began, were given stolen bases.

The odd play didn't result in good reviews from either team.

"Those are not plays we practice in spring training," Indians manager Eric Wedge said.

"It was crazy," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "We really did a lot wrong. You can name it and name it. It's a good thing it was one game."

The last triple steal came on Oct. 1, 1987, by Atlanta against Houston according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The Indians already had a cushion at that point as Franklin Gutierrez hit a grand slam in the first inning to give Cleveland all the runs its would need. Gutierrez continues to thrive on Mark Buehrle.

"I know this guy," said Gutierrez, who hit a three-run homer off Buehrle on opening day and is batting .417 (5-for-12) with two homers and seven RBI in his career against the left-hander. "I know what he can throw. I was relaxed and looking for a good pitch to hit."

• Rangers 12, Rays 6: At St. Petersburg, Fla., one-time Tampa Bay prospect Josh Hamilton hit a grand slam and matched his career high with five RBI, helping Vicente Padilla and the Texas Rangers cool off the AL East-leading Rays.

Padilla (7-2) allowed five runs and seven hits in six innings to win his fifth straight decision and stop Tampa Bay's four-game winning streak. The right-hander walked four and struck out a season-high 10.

• Twins 4, Royals 3: At Kansas City, Mo., Michael Cuddyer singled home Joe Mauer in the 12th inning, giving the Minnesota Twins the victory and sending the Kansas City Royals to their ninth straight defeat.

Jesse Crain (2-2) picked up the victory, and Matt Guerrier worked the 12th to earn his first save and third of his career.

The Royals, who have been outscored 53-19 in the nine losses, have had only six longer losing streaks in franchise history. The Royals have scored three or fewer runs in eight of the losses and rank last in the American League with 184 runs.

• Orioles 10, Yankees 9: At Baltimore, a wacky game featuring nine home runs, 12 pitchers and a 67-minute rain delay was ultimately decided when the Baltimore Orioles mounted one final rally after midnight.

Aubrey Huff doubled in the tie-breaking run in the 11th inning and scored the game-winner on a long single by Alex Cintron, giving the Orioles the win.

After New York took a 9-8 lead in the 11th against Matt Albers (3-1) on an RBI single by Hideki Matsui, Melvin Mora led off the bottom half with a single off LaTroy Hawkins (1-1). One out later, Huff doubled and took third as Mora beat the throw to the plate.

Hawkins then issued two straight intentional walks before Cintron hit a fly ball to right over the drawn-in outfield.
