 Trout hit an 88 mph fastball from reliever Koji Uehara over the
fence in center field for his 27th homer of the season.
Red Sox starter Wade Miley retired the first 16 batters before Chris
Iannetta walked with one out in the sixth. Miley, though, completed
the inning with a no-hitter intact. But on Miley's first pitch in
the seventh, Kole Calhoun laced a fastball off the fence in center
field for a leadoff double.
Giants 6, Diamondbacks 5 (12 innings)
PHOENIX -- Brandon Crawford scored an unearned run in the 12th
inning and San Francisco ran its winning streak to four games.
Crawford singled to open the 12th and took second on a passed ball
before Gregor Blanco walked with one out and Ryan Vogelsong beat out
a bunt to load the bases. Crawford scored when the throw home on
Angel Pagan's grounder bounced in front of the plate.
Vogelsong (7-6) pitched the final two innings, getting the last out
with runners on first and second. He was the Giants' 10th pitcher,
one short of the San Francisco-era record.
Hunter Pence tied the score at 5 with a two-run homer to cap the
Giants' three-run seventh.
Yankees 4, Mariners 3
NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking home run with one out
in the bottom of the seventh inning and New York beat Seattle.
The Yankees won for the eighth time in 11 games with the help of
Rodriguez, who drove a 1-0 fastball from Joe Beimel over the
right-center-field wall and into New York's bullpen. Before
Rodriguez hit his 19th home run of the season and 673rd of his
career, Chris Young homered and Chase Headley and Brian McCann had
RBI singles.
Kyle Seager homered in consecutive at-bats for the Mariners, who had
a five-game winning streak in New York stopped.
Phillies 6, Marlins 3
PHILADELPHIA -- Pinch hitter Jeff Francoeur capped a four-run eighth
inning with a three-run homer as Philadelphia snapped a five-game
losing streak.
J.T. Realmuto hit a solo homer for the Marlins, whose two-game
winning ended.

and four hits. He struck out six and walked one. Phillies starter
Adam Morgan worked 6 1/3 innings and also yielded two runs and four
hits. He struck out three and walked three.
Tigers 7, Orioles 3
DETROIT -- Jose Iglesias, Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez hit home
runs good for a combined six runs to help Anibal Sanchez to his
sixth straight victory.
Sanchez gave up eight hits and two walks in six innings. He struck
out three and stranded six. Ubaldo Jimenez gave up seven hits and
seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five and didn't walk a
batter, but the three home runs doomed him.
Detroit has scored 67 runs in its last 11 games, since manager Brad
Ausmus retooled his batting order. But the Tigers are only 6-5 in
those games.
Blue Jays 6, Rays 2
TORONTO -- Justin Smoak and Josh Donaldson homered in a five-run
fifth inning as Toronto defeated Tampa Bay.
Right-hander Drew Hutchison (9-2) continued to thrive at home,
improving to 7-1 after nine starts. He allowed five hits, two walks
and two runs while striking out three in six innings.
Smoak had three RBIs and Donaldson had two. Grady Sizemore homered
for the Rays.
Braves 4, Cubs 2
ATLANTA -- Eury Perez looped a two-out single into shallow right
field to drive in two runs in the eighth inning and lift Atlanta
over Chicago.
With the bases loaded, Perez hit the first offering from
right-hander Pedro Strop (1-5) in front of Jorge Soler in right,
allowing Kelly Johnson and A.J. Pierzynski to score with ease. Those
were the second and third RBIs of the season for Perez.
The Braves won their eighth straight over the Cubs at Turner Field
and snapped a five-game losing streak.
Astros 3, Rangers 2
HOUSTON -- Collin McHugh reached double figures in wins for a second
consecutive season and Houston's bullpen held off Texas.
McHugh (10-5) worked six uneven innings, setting the Rangers down in
order only twice and giving up 11 hits. Luke Gregerson posted his
19th save of the season with a scoreless ninth as the Astros snapped
a six-game skid.

Royals 4, White Sox 2
CHICAGO -- John Danks did not allow a run for the second time in
three games, giving up four hits in six-plus innings as Chicago beat
Kansas City.
The victory gave the White Sox a split in the day-night
doubleheader. Kansas City claimed the early game.
Cardinals 3, Mets 2
ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn had the worst possible start but finished
with one of his best games of the year. After giving up a leadoff
homer, Lynn permitted just two more hits and a walk in the next
seven innings as St. Louis edged New York.
Lynn fanned nine and retired 12 hitters in a row after a one-out
walk to Curtis Granderson in the third inning. Closer Trevor
Rosenthal allowed a two-out RBI infield single to Ruben Tejada in
the ninth but bagged his 27th save in 29 chances.
Reds 6, Indians 1
CINCINNATI -- Marlon Byrd fell a triple shy of the cycle and Mike
Leake pitched six strong innings and drove in three runs to lift
Cincinnati over Cleveland.
Joey Votto added a solo homer, his 16th home run of the season, in
support of Leake, who didn't miss a beat after a one-hour,
five-minute rain delay. Leake gave up one run and four hits while
throwing 92 pitches. He also contributed an RBI squeeze bunt in the
second and a two-run double in the third.
Byrd, who has been mentioned in trade rumors, went 4-for-4 with his
15th homer of the season, a triple, double and two singles.

out seven as Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh.
Fiers worked seven innings and held the Pirates to three hits and a
walk to win his second consecutive decision.
Twins 5, A's 0
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Brian Dozier led off with a home run, Trevor
Plouffe belted a grand slam and Ervin Santana pitched 7 2/3 shutout
innings to lift Minnesota over Oakland.
The win was the Twins' 50th of the season, making them the second
team in the American League and fifth in the majors to hit the
milestone. Minnesota's seventh win in its last eight games came at
the expense of A's All-Star Sonny Gray, who gave up both home runs
and five runs in all in six innings.
The Twins never trailed after Dozier, who homered in his only plate
appearance at the All-Star Game on Tuesday night, smacked Gray's
sixth pitch over the wall in left field for his 20th home run of the
season.
Nationals 3, Dodgers 2 (susp.)
WASHINGTON -- The game between Los Angeles and Washington was
suspended after five innings because a bank of lights went out three
times.
The lights along the third-base line went out for the third time
before the sixth inning began at 10:42 p.m. ET with the Nationals
leading 3-2 after a two-run homer by Yunel Escobar in the fifth. A
few minutes later, the game was suspended. It will resume at 2 p.m.
ET Saturday.
Padres 4, Rockies 2
SAN DIEGO -- Homers by Matt Kemp, Jedd Gyorko and Justin Upton
accounted for all of San Diego's runs and James Shields struggled
through five innings to snap a three-game losing streak.
Shields ran his record to 8-3 with his first win since being 7-0 on
June 3. Craig Kimbrel picked up his 24th save in 25 chances as the
Padres won their third straight game.
The Padres jumped on Jorge De La Rosa for three runs in the first
inning on two-out, tape-measure homers by Kemp and Gyorko. Upton
gave the Padres an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth with a
413-foot drive.
