The winning rally came against Mark Melancon (3-9). With one
out, Olson singled to left and Riley followed with his 31st
double and second game-ending RBI of the season.
The first seven innings were dominated by each team's starters,
as neither Atlanta's Max Fried nor Arizona's Merrill Kelly gave
up a run. Kelly allowed three hits, two walks and struck out
eight, while Fried allowed four hits -- one on a bunt -- with
two walks and five strikeouts.
The winning pitcher was Kenley Jansen (5-0), who pitched around
a two-out walk to throw a scoreless ninth.
Blue Jays 4, Tigers 1
Matt Chapman belted a two-run homer and Jose Berrios pitched
seven strong innings to fuel Toronto's win over visiting
Detroit.
Berrios (8-4) allowed one run on three hits and one walk with
six strikeouts. Detroit right-hander Garrett Hill (1-3)
permitted four runs, six hits and two walks with one strikeout
in five innings.
Toronto closer Jordan Romano pitched a perfect ninth inning with
two strikeouts to earn his 24th save of the season.
Phillies 8, Pirates 2
Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm homered Sunday as visiting
Philadelphia pummeled Pittsburgh to complete a four-game series
sweep.
J.T. Realmuto added an RBI double and Nick Castellanos two RBI
singles for the Phillies, who scored five runs in the fifth and
totaled 18 hits. Philadelphia starter Aaron Nola (7-8) allowed
one run and six hits in six innings, with eight strikeouts and
one walk.
Cal Mitchell hit an RBI double and Yoshi Tsutsugo an RBI single
for the Pirates, who have dropped seven straight and eight of
nine since the All-Star break.
Red Sox 7, Brewers 2
Xander Bogaerts laced the first of four consecutive two-out RBI
doubles that produced five unearned runs in the fifth inning as
host Boston defeated Milwaukee.
Right-hander Josh Winckowski (4-5) picked up the win, the first
for a Red Sox starter in July. He went five innings, allowing
two runs on seven hits. Those runs came in the second inning on
Hunter Renfroe's 19th homer, which followed Kolten Wong's
double.
Aaron Ashby nearly escaped the fifth when Jackie Bradley Jr.
bunted into a force at third and Jaylin Davis lined out, but
Bogaerts rapped a tying two-run double down the line in left.
J.D. Martinez, Christian Vazquez and Alex Verdugo all followed
with doubles, the last of those against reliever Hoby Milner,
for a 5-2 lead.
Mets 9, Marlins 3
New York's offense banged out a season-high 19 hits, including
three apiece by Francisco Lindor, Mark Canha and Jeff McNeil, to
overwhelm host Miami.
The Mets swept the three-game series and matched a season high
with their sixth consecutive victory. Mets right-hander Taijuan
Walker (9-2) allowed seven hits, two walks and three runs while
striking out four batters in 5 2/3 innings.
The Marlins finally scored in the fifth, snapping a 20-inning
scoreless streak going back to Friday's series opener. Pablo
Lopez (7-6) allowed six runs on a career-high 12 hits and struck
out just one batter, a season low.
Cardinals 5, Nationals 0
Andre Pallante flirted with a complete-game shutout and Corey
Dickerson smashed a three-run home run as visiting St. Louis
beat Washington.
Pallante (4-4), a rookie right-hander, pitched a career-high
eight innings. He struck out a career-best eight batters while
issuing just one walk among his 96 pitches. Ryan Helsley
completed the combined five-hitter.
Until the ninth, Washington's three singles off Pallante came
from Nelson Cruz, Yadiel Hernandez and Tres Barrera. The loss
halted what had been a positive stretch for the Nationals, who
won four of six games coming into Sunday. They were shut out for
the first time since July 5 at Philadelphia.
Royals 8, Yankees 6
Salvador Perez hit a go-ahead three-run homer with one out in
the ninth inning off Clay Holmes and visiting Kansas City
rallied for a victory over New York.
The Royals blew a late lead for the second time in the four-game
series, but this time they were able to recover, snapping a
five-game losing streak and earning their second win in 57 games
when trailing after eight innings.
Kyle Higashioka hit an RBI single and DJ LeMahieu hit a two-run
homer to start the comeback in the fifth off Zach Greinke, but
the Yankees ultimately fell to 55-2 when leading after eight.
New York was unable to get its 70th victory and
major-league-leading 30th comeback victory.
Guardians 5, Rays 3
Cleveland made American League All-Star starter Shane McClanahan
look very ordinary on its way to defeating Tampa Bay in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
The Rays' McClanahan (10-4), who came into the game with a 1.76
ERA, lasted only 4 1/3 innings and was charged with five earned
runs. He gave up seven hits and three walks on 96 pitches and
struck out four.
A two-run single by Austin Hedges in the fifth inning drove in
Franmil Reyes and Andres Gimenez to put the Guardians ahead for
good. For the Rays, Ji-Man Choi had two RBIs to up his season
total to 46.
Reds 3, Orioles 2
Brandon Drury's 20th homer of the season was a two-out,
tiebreaking drive in the eighth that led Cincinnati past
visiting Baltimore in the rubber match of a weekend interleague
series.
The Orioles had just tied the game in the top of the inning on a
tape measure drive by Anthony Santander off reliever Alexis Diaz
(3-1) before Drury victimized Felix Bautista (3-3).
The Reds finished 6-4 on their 10-game homestand and won 12 of
their 21 home games in the month. Baltimore lost consecutive
games for the third time in July.
White Sox 4, Athletics 1
Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez hit home runs, right-hander Dylan
Cease won his fourth straight start and Chicago beat visiting
Oakland for the second straight day.
Joe Kelly, Kendall Graveman and Liam Hendriks combined with
Cease (11-4) on a six-hitter, allowing the White Sox to take the
three-game series after losing the opener 7-3 on Friday night.
Cease gave up only three runs in 35 2/3 innings in July, a 0.76
ERA.
A's starter Adam Oller (1-4) who helped Oakland to wins over the
Houston Astros in each of his previous two starts, worked into
the seventh inning for the first time in his career and was
charged with all four White Sox runs on seven hits in 6 1/3
innings. He struck out six without issuing a walk.
Rangers 5, Angels 2
Ezequiel Duran's three-run double in the ninth inning snapped a
tie and lifted Texas over Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.
The game was tied at 2-2 heading into the ninth, but the Rangers
loaded the bases with one out before Duran hit a changeup off
the Angels closer into the right-center field gap.
Angels starter Reid Detmers, who has a 1.13 ERA over his past
four starts, gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits and
three walks in seven innings. He also had a career-best 12
strikeouts.
Astros 3, Mariners 2 (10 innings)
Yordan Alvarez smacked a walk-off single in the 10th inning and
Houston claimed its four-game series against visiting Seattle
with a victory.
Alvarez, who was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts entering the 10th,
bounced a single into left field off Mariners left-hander
Brennan Bernardino (0-1), scoring Mauricio Dubon from third
base. Bernardino, the sixth Mariners pitcher of the game, was
making his major league debut.
Trailing 2-0 entering the eighth, the Mariners staged a two-out
rally against Astros reliever Ryne Stanek. Adam Frazier worked a
five-pitch walk before Jesse Winker drilled a first-pitch
fastball into the right field seats, his ninth home run on the
season, to deadlock the score.
Padres 3, Twins 2
Jurickson Profar homered and later scored the winning run on a
bloop single to right by Luke Voit as San Diego defeated
visiting Minnesota in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Twins starter Dylan Bundy (6-5) took the loss, giving up three
runs -- two being homers -- on just four hits and no walks with
three strikeouts in five-plus innings.
Sean Manaea (6-5) picked up the win for the Padres, holding the
Twins to two solo home runs among four total hits and three
walks with seven strikeouts over six innings. Luis Garcia picked
up his first save for the Padres after Bob Melvin at least
temporarily relieved the struggling Taylor Rogers of his closer
duties earlier in the week.
Dodgers 7, Rockies 3
James Outman homered in his first major league at-bat and
finished with three hits, Freddie Freeman also had three hits
and Los Angeles beat Colorado in Denver.
Brian Serven homered, and Randal Grichuk had two hits for
Colorado. Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant left the game in the
seventh inning due to left foot soreness stemming from
aggravation of plantar fasciitis.
The Dodgers failed to score in the first inning for the first
time in the four-game series, but they took the lead in the
third off of starter German Marquez. Bellinger led off with a
single and Outman, recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on
Saturday, belted a homer on the third major league pitch he saw.
Giants 4, Cubs 0
Carlos Rodon struck out 10 over seven innings and the bottom
five hitters in the order provided all of the offense as San
Francisco made it three out of four against visiting Chicago.
Jason Vosler and Austin Wynns drove in two runs apiece while
Dixon Machado, acquired earlier in the day from the Cubs, got on
base twice via a single and a hit batsman and scored once for
the Giants, who finished the month of July just 11-17 despite
their 3-1 series win over Chicago.
Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki had the Cubs' only hits against Rodon.
Chicago never got a runner past first base against the
left-hander.
