[June 08, 2018]
Jesse Winker's two-run home run
in the bottom of the 13th inning Thursday capped Cincinnati's
comeback from a three-run deficit as the Reds dumped the visiting
Colorado Rockies 7-5.
Rockies reliever Chris Rusin (0-2) hit Joey Votto with a pitch to
start the winning rally. Winker followed up Eugenio Suarez's flyout
with his second homer of the season into the seats in right-center.
Dylan Floro (2-1) pitched three scoreless innings for the win as
Cincinnati avoided a series sweep and snapped a four-game losing
streak.
The Reds forced extra innings when Colorado closer Wade Davis tossed
a wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth that scored
Curt Casali from third.
Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4 (10 innings)
Aledmys Diaz singled home the winning run with two outs in the 10th
inning as Toronto came back to defeat visiting Baltimore.
The Blue Jays scored three runs against Brad Brach in the bottom of
the ninth to tie the game at 4.

In the bottom of the 10th, Teoscar Hernandez hustled a leadoff
double against Miguel Castro (1-2). Justin Smoak was walked
intentionally. Kendrys Morales and Luke Maile struck out before Diaz
lined his game-winning hit to left. Danny Barnes (2-1) pitched a
perfect top of the 10th with two strikeouts to pick up the win.
Dodgers 8, Pirates 7
Cody Bellinger homered for the third consecutive game, and Joc
Pederson belted two out as Los Angeles won at Pittsburgh.
Pederson's second homer produced an 8-3 lead, and the Dodgers held
on for their fifth win in six games. The Dodgers were forced to use
nine relievers to cover the nine innings when Dennis Santana, who
was scheduled to make his first major league start, was scratched
because of right lat soreness during his warmup.
Elias Diaz hit a three-run homer and had four RBIs for the Pirates,
who are 5-14 in their past 19.
Cardinals 4, Marlins 1
Miles Mikolas improved to 7-1 as St. Louis defeated visiting Miami.
Mikolas beat his hometown team, allowing three hits, one walk and
one unearned run. He struck out five and lowered his ERA to 2.27.
The Cardinals, who snapped a two-game losing streak, got home runs
from Jose Martinez and pinch hitter Luke Voit.
The Marlins were held to just four hits, although first baseman
Justin Bour went 3-for-4 with an RBI double.

Astros 5, Rangers 2
Evan Gattis homered and knocked in three runs as Houston earned a
win at Arlington, Texas.
Gerrit Cole (7-1) gave up three hits and a run over six innings,
walking three and striking out eight. In 87 2/3 innings this year,
Cole has fanned 124 hitters.
Rangers starter Cole Hamels (3-6) was touched for seven hits and
five runs in 7 1/3 innings, walking two and whiffing five. Gattis
snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning when he launched a meaty
changeup 415 feet to left field with Jose Altuve aboard to give
Houston the lead for good.
Twins 7, White Sox 2
Jose Berrios allowed two runs on six hits in his second complete
game of the season, leading Minnesota to a win over Chicago in
Minneapolis.
Eddie Rosario went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and three RBIs
for the Twins. Eduardo Escobar and Ehire Adrianza also homered for
Minnesota, which scored all seven of its runs during the first four
innings.
Yoan Moncada and Jose Abreu hit RBI doubles for the White Sox, who
dropped to 10-21 on the road.

Cubs 4, Phillies 3
Anthony Rizzo homered and drove in two runs, and Chicago edged
visiting Philadelphia. The first baseman has 19 RBIs in his past 18
games.
Rizzo homered in the fourth inning to break a scoreless tie and was
credited with a sacrifice fly that capped a three-run fifth inning
when a scoring play at the plate was reversed after a replay review.
The Cubs won for the ninth time in 11 games.
Scott Kingery had a two-run double and Carlos Santana had an RBI
single for Philadelphia, which lost the final two games of the
three-game series and has dropped five of six.
Mariners 5, Rays 4
Denard Span hit a home run against his former team in his hometown
as Seattle defeated host Tampa Bay in the opener of a four-game
series.
Span's solo shot to right field with two outs in the top of the
third inning gave the Mariners a 4-0 lead. It was Span's sixth home
run of the season and his second in as many days, after he connected
Wednesday at Houston.
Mitch Haniger also homered and Mike Leake (6-3) pitched eight-plus
innings for the Mariners, who swept a three-game series from the
Rays last weekend in Seattle. Rays reliever Austin Pruitt (1-3)
pitched seven innings, allowing five runs on seven hits. He walked
one and struck out six.

Tigers 7, Red Sox 2
Detroit roughed up 24-year-old Boston left-hander Jalen Beeks in his
major league debut, scoring five runs in the first inning of an easy
victory for the visitors.
The Tigers won the final game of the series after losing the first
two, and they snapped Boston's four-game winning streak. The Tigers
had 10 hits Thursday, as many as they had in the first two games
combined.
Beeks went four innings, allowing six runs on seven hits and three
walks and striking out four. Tigers lefty Matthew Boyd (4-4) allowed
two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 6
1/3 innings.
A's 4, Royals 1
Paul Blackburn pitched six strong innings in his 2018 major league
debut, and Matt Chapman broke a sixth-inning tie with an RBI double,
lifting Oakland to a victory over visiting Kansas City.
Blackburn (1-0) allowed one run on three hits and no walked with
three strikeouts. The 24-year-old had been sidelined all season due
to tightness in his right forearm. Lou Trivino, Yusmeiro Petit and
Blake Treinen (14th save) followed Blackburn with a scoreless inning
apiece.
Matt Olson homered for Oakland, and Alcides Escobar went deep for
the Royals' lone run.
