 Bolsinger allowed just three hits and an unearned run over seven
innings and the Dodgers salvaged the final game of the series with a
3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves at a sweltering Turner Field.
The Dodgers scored all three runs in the fifth inning, on an RBI
single by Alberto Callaspo, an RBI double by Jimmy Rollins and an
RBI single by Joc Pederson.
Atlanta starter Julio Teheran gave up all three runs and allowed six
hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out 11.
Nationals 4, Mets 3
WASHINGTON -- Danny Espinosa hit a two-out double to drive in
Michael A. Taylor and break a tie during a three-run eighth as
Washington came back to beat New York and take the rubber gamer of
the three-game set.
Taylor had a two-run, two-out single in the eighth off reliever
Bobby Parnell to the game at 3-3. Espinosa then came through with
the game-winner against Parnell (1-1).
The winning pitcher was Matt Thornton (1-0), who pitched a scoreless
eighth, while Drew Storen got his 29th save with a perfect ninth.
The first-place Nationals extended their lead to three games over
the Mets, who have lost four of the last five to Washington.
Phillies 5, Rays 4 (10 innings)
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies finished a successful homestand with a
celebration, beating Tampa Bay on Odubel Herrera's RBI single in the
bottom of the 10th inning.
Ben Revere went 3-for-5 with an RBI to raise his batting average to
.300, while Domonic Brown also collected three hits and scored the
winning run after singling in the 10th.
The Phillies have won back-to-back series for the first time this
season and are 5-1 to start the second half.
Indians 7, Brewers 5
MILWAUKEE -- Michael Brantley had three hits, including a three-run
home run, and Cleveland bullpen allowed only one run over the final
6 1/3 innings.
Brantley, a former Brewers prospect who was shipped to Cleveland in
the 2008 trade that brought C.C. Sabathia to Milwaukee, finished a
triple short of the cycle and extended his hitting streak to five
games as Cleveland ended an eight-game losing streak against
Milwaukee.
Brewers first baseman Adam Lind finished with four hits and four
RBIs, including a two-run home run in the first inning.
Rangers 10, Rockies 8
DENVER -- Texas blew an early five-run lead but beat Colorado when
Elvis Andrus singled home two runs in the ninth.
The Rockies, who fell behind 5-0 in the second, tied the game at 8
with a four-run eighth. Nick Hundley hit his seventh homer with one
out, and Carlos Gonzalez hit his 14th homer, a three-run shot with
two outs off Tanner Scheppers (3-2).
Rougned Odor, who atoned for making two errors on the same play in
the fourth, finished a double shy of the cycle as he drove in two
runs and scored three.
Giants 7, Padres 1
SAN DIEGO -- Buster Posey lined a two-run double to right field in
the seventh inning to propel San Francisco over San Diego.
The Padres led 1-0 after five innings before San Francisco tied the
game on Brandon Belt's two-out homer in the sixth and scored three
runs in both the seventh and eighth innings -- all against the
Padres' bullpen after James Shields had departed.
The Giants' second straight win made a winner of Matt Cain (2-1) and
was the reigning World Series champions' eighth win in the last nine
games. Cain allowed one run -- a homer by Jedd Gyorko in the second
inning -- on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out
six.
Yankees 4, Orioles 3
NEW YORK -- Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez homered, leading New
York past Baltimore.
The Yankees improved to a season-best 11 games above .500 while
beating the Orioles for the fifth time in six games at Yankee
Stadium.
Teixeira hit his 24th home run of the season with one out in the
first inning off Baltimore right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-2).
Rodriguez hit his 20th with one out in the fifth, also off Gausman.
Reds 9-5, Cubs 1-6
CINCINNATI -- Pinch hitter Taylor Teagarden's RBI single off
Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman drove home the go-ahead run,
lifting the Chicago Cubs to a victory in the second game of a
day-night doubleheader.
Joey Votto homered and Mike Leake allowed one run and four hits in
eight innings in the Reds' victory in the afternoon game.
Reds left fielder Marlon Byrd prevented the Cubs from scoring the
go-ahead run in the eighth inning of the nightcap when he threw out
Dexter Fowler attempting to score on Anthony Rizzo's single. The
play was reviewed to determine whether Reds catcher Brayan Pena
violated the home-plate collision rule, but replay confirmed he did
not.

Tigers 9, Mariners 4
DETROIT -- Nick Castellanos' grand slam highlighted an eight-run,
third-inning outburst, and Detroit overcame two Nelson Cruz home
runs in a victory over Seattle.
Castellanos' eighth home run of the season helped Anibal Sanchez
(10-7) win his seventh consecutive decision. Sanchez allowed four
runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings while striking out six. Joakim
Soria got the last four outs for his 22nd save.
Ian Kinsler contributed four hits, including two during the highest
scoring inning of the season for Detroit. He scored twice and
knocked in a run.
Royals 5, Pirates 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer homered, lifting
Kansas City past Pittsburgh.
The Royals scored four runs in the seventh, highlighted by
Moustakas' three-run homer with two outs. Jarrod Dyson's safety
squeeze bunt single brought home Omar Infante for the first run of
the inning.
Right-hander Edinson Volquez (9-5) claimed the victory, holding the
Pirates to a run over 7 2/3 innings. He struck out eight, one shy of
his season high, and yielded eight hits.
Astros 4, Red Sox 2
HOUSTON -- Rookie Preston Tucker socked two home runs, and Collin
McHugh proved elusive enough to help Houston beat Boston.
Tucker slugged his seventh and eighth home runs of the season and
provided the Astros with a four-run lead through five innings. It
was the first multi-homer game of his career.
McHugh (11-5) faced 13 batters in the first four innings and then
had to weave in and out of trouble to complete seven innings. While
McHugh allowed two runs, both in the sixth, he stranded five
baserunners between the fifth and seventh, his last inning, to
maintain control.
Cardinals 3, White Sox 2
CHICAGO -- Yadier Molina's bases-clearing triple in the eighth
inning helped lift St. Louis to a come-from-behind victory over
Chicago.
Molina's liner to the right field corner off David Robertson drove
home Randal Grichuk, Pete Kozma and Jason Heyward.
Cardinals reliever Miguel Socolovich (4-1) worked the seventh inning
for the win. Trevor Rosenthal pitched a one-two-three ninth for his
29th save.
Marlins 5, Diamondbacks 3
PHOENIX -- Jose Fernandez struck out a season-high 11 in seven
innings, doubled in a run and scored another in Miami's victory over
Arizona.
Fernandez (3-0) doubled in the final run of a three-run second
inning for a 3-0 lead the Marlins never lost. He gave up five hits
and walked two -- his first two walks of the season -- in his fourth
start since returning from Tommy John surgery.
J.T. Realmuto and Ichiro Suzuki each had an extra-base hit, drove in
a run and scored for the Marlins, who won their second in a row.
Angels 5, Twins 2
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Johnny Giavotella and Kole Calhoun combined for
half of the Angels' 12 hits, leading Los Angeles past Minnesota.
However, the Angels lost third baseman David Freese for at least two
weeks with a broken right index finger.
C.J. Wilson (8-7) got the win, but needed help from his bullpen
after making 105 pitches in a five-inning outing. Wilson gave up two
runs on six hits and two walks, then got stellar relief from
Fernando Salas, Trevor Gott, Joe Smith and Huston Street (25th
save), who combined to shut out the Twins on three hits over the
final four innings.
Street became the 27th pitcher in major league history to record 300
career saves.
A's 4, Blue Jays 3 (10 innings)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Pinch hitter Ike Davis' infield single with two
outs in the 10th scored Josh Reddick from third base, giving Oakland
a victory over Toronto.
The victory came five innings after A's manager Bob Melvin was
ejected from the game. Melvin nonetheless was credited with his
369th win as A's manager, moving him into third place on the Oakland
list.
Reddick, a late-game replacement, set up Davis' heroics with an
opposite-field double with one out in the 10th off Roberto Osuna
(1-4). Reddick took third on third baseman Brett Lawrie's grounder
before Davis beat out a ground ball to shortstop.
