 Sabathia (3-7) allowed two runs and five hits, and his frustration
boiled over after getting Kole Calhoun on an inning-ending double
play in the sixth. Sabathia disagreed with plate umpire Dan
Bellino's call on the previous pitch and walked off the mound
gesturing toward Bellino.
Third baseman Chase Headley tried to hold back Sabathia, but the
argument continued and Bellino ejected Sabathia after a profanity.
Manager Joe Girardi raced out of the dugout, kicked dirt on Bellino
and was ejected, and Sabathia continued the argument before catcher
John Ryan-Murphy and bench coach Rob Thomson helped get him off the
field.
Long before the ejection, Sabathia allowed solo home runs to Mike
Trout and Albert Pujols in a span of three pitches with one out in
the first.
Reds 4, Padres 0
CINCINNATI -- Jay Bruce homered twice and Johnny Cueto pitched seven
innings, lifting Cincinnati over San Diego.
The Reds snapped San Diego's four-game winning streak, defeating the
Padres for just the second time in the past nine meetings dating to
last season. The Padres managed just four hits on Sunday.
Cueto (4-4) had his customary early struggles on Sunday, allowing
three hits and issuing a pair of walks in the first three innings.
Pirates 3, Braves 0
ATLANTA - When Pittsburgh right-hander Gerrit Cole got into trouble,
he just managed to get out of it every time to become the National
League's first nine-game winner.
Cole twice worked out of bases-loaded jams and stranded 10 runners
over seven innings. He allowed six hits, walked three and hit two
batters, but the Braves were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring
position against him. He struck out seven and left after throwing a
season-high 116 pitches.
The victory was the fourth straight for Cole (9-2), and the seven
scoreless innings lowered his ERA to 1.73 -- best in the NL
Blue Jays 7, Astros 6
TORONTO -- Chris Colabello singled in two runs in the ninth inning
and Toronto came from behind to defeat Houston.
The hit extended Colabello's hitting streak to 17 games, stretched
the Blue Jays' winning streak to five games and gave the Astros a
four-game losing streak.
Jose Bautista hit two solo home runs and Russell Martin hit a
two-run blast for the Blue Jays in the finale of a three-game
series.
Orioles 7, Indians 3
CLEVELAND -- Adam Jones homered for the third time in four days,
Matt Wieters homered and tripled, and Bud Norris came off the
disabled list to strike out seven in five innings as Baltimore beat
Cleveland.
Jones, the third batter of the game, belted a solo home run off
right-hander Carlos Carrasco (7-5) in the first inning to give the
Orioles a lead they never relinquished.
Jones has homered in three of his last four games. In his last five
games he is 10-for-21 with two triples, three home runs and four
RBIs.
Twins 2, Brewers 0
MINNEAPOLIS -- Mike Pelfrey pitched eight shutout innings to lead
Minnesota over Milwaukee, salvaging the final game of a three-game
series.
The victory kept the Twins one game clear of the Kansas City Royals
for first place in the American League Central Division. The Royals
and Twins begin a three-game series here on Monday.
For Pelfrey, it was the first time since April 21, 2012, he pitched
into the eighth inning. It was his final start before Tommy John
surgery on his throwing arm ended his season. The win improved
Pelfrey to 5-2 on the season while he lowered his ERA to 2.28,
fourth-best in the AL.
Royals 4, Rangers 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez homered in the eighth to break a
tie as Kansas City defeated Texas.
Perez homered off rookie Keone Kela (4-2). Wade Davis (3-1), the
third Royals pitcher, claimed the victory, while Greg Holland tossed
a perfect ninth for his ninth save. The Royals had dropped nine of
11 before the victory.
The Rangers, who could muster only one hit off Royals right-hander
Jeremy Guthrie for the first six innings, scored three runs in the
seventh to tie the score.
Phillies 6, Giants 4
PHILADELPHIA -- Jeff Francoeur's two-out, two-run double in the
seventh inning helped Philadelphia salvage the finale of a
three-game series.
It was the first at-bat of the game for Francoeur, who entered the
game as a pinch hitter for Odubel Herrera. That was a response move
by Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg after Giants skipper Bruce Bochy
pulled starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong in favor of left-handed
reliever Javier Lopez to face the lefty Herrera, who had homered
earlier in the afternoon.
Francoeur made Bochy pay for that decision, lining a 1-1 pitch down
the left field line to score Freddy Galvis from third and Ben Revere
all the way from first, breaking a 3-3 tie that had lasted since the
third inning.

Tigers 6, White Sox 4
CHICAGO -- Yoenis Cespedes and Tyler Collins combined for six hits,
three runs and three RBIs as Detroit Tigers beat Chicago.
The win was the second straight since the Tigers snapped an
eight-game losing streak on Saturday. Detroit also won its first
series since taking two of three from Oakland between May 25-27.
Collins was 3-for-3 with a walk, had an RBI and scored twice,
including a tying run on J.D.Martinez's two-run homer in the sixth.
Cespedes was 3-for-4 with one run and two RBIs, including one from
an eighth-inning homer that provided an insurance run.
Red Sox 7, Athletics 4
BOSTON -- Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run double to score the tying
and go-ahead runs and lead Boston to a come-from-behind victory and
a three-game sweep over Oakland.
Bogaerts' timely double highlighted a seven-run frame and gave the
Red Sox their first series sweep of three of more games since July
18-20 of last season.
The Red Sox got eight hits in the comeback before ambidextrous Pat
Venditte, Oakland's fifth pitcher of the inning, got the last out.
Cubs 6, Nationals 3
WASHINGTON -- Kris Bryant had three hits and scored twice, and
Starlin Castro and Chris Coghlan each added two hits and two RBIs to
highlight a 14-hit attack as Chicago beat Washington.
The Cubs won three of four games in the series, while the Nationals
fell for the eighth time in 11 games. Washington has scored only 45
runs in its past 17 games and tallied more than four runs just twice
in that span.
Chicago had five players with at least two hits, including Anthony
Rizzo (two) and Chris Denorfia (three). Rizzo, who also scored two
runs, has a career-high 12-game hitting streak and is 11-for-26
(.423) on the current road trip.
Marlins 3, Rockies 2 (10 innings)
DENVER -- Adeiny Hechavarria homered with two outs in the 10th to
give Miami a win over Colorado.
The Marlins had not moved a runner to second base after the first
inning until Hechavarria drove a 2-1 slider from left-hander Boone
Logan (0-2) over the center field wall to seal the rubber game of
the series.
A.J. Ramos set the side down in order in the 10th to earn his
seventh save and preserve the victory for Sam Dyson (3-2).
Mets 6, Diamondbacks 3
PHOENIX -- Curtis Granderson homered twice and Jacob deGrom pitched
seven solid innings to help New York beat Arizona.
Eric Campbell and Wilmer Flores also homered for the Mets, who
snapped a two-game losing streak. All five New York runs scored on
homers.
DeGrom allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits. He walked three
and struck out 10, his sixth career double-digit strikeout game and
second in four starts. Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his 17th
save in 18 chances.
Rays 3, Mariners 1
SEATTLE -- Chris Archer pitched seven solid innings, and made a
little history along the way, while Mikie Mahtook homered to lead
Tampa Bay to a win over Seattle.
Tampa Bay took three of the four games in the series and has now won
five of its past six.
Archer (7-4) allowed one unearned run on six hits. He struck out 11
without giving up a walk, making him the first pitcher in major
league history to have 10 or more strikeouts without allowing a walk
in three consecutive starts.
Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2
LOS ANGELES -- Jhonny Peralta collected three hits and drove in the
winning run during a three-run, eighth-inning rally that gave St.
Louis a victory over Los Angeles.
The Cardinals earned their fifth victory in six games and their 11th
in their past 14, including three of four in the weekend series. The
Dodgers fell for the fourth time in five games.
Peralta went 3-for-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in two
runs and scored twice.
