Soto, among the biggest potential prizes before the Tuesday
trade deadline, also walked three times and scored twice. As he
trotted to first after a free pass in the eighth inning, he
received a warm ovation from a Nationals Park crowd.
Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor homered while Brandon Nimmo had
four hits for New York, which has won seven straight. Scherzer
(7-2) went 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on
six hits. He walked two and struck out five while throwing a
season-high 105 pitches.
Washington starter Patrick Corbin (4-15) gave up four runs on
seven hits in 4 1/3 innings while losing his fifth consecutive
start. He walked one and fanned four.
Reds 3, Marlins 1
Rookie Hunter Greene struck out eight batters and allowed just
one hit in six scoreless innings, leading visiting Cincinnati
over struggling Miami.
Greene (4-12), the second overall pick in the 2017 draft, did
not issue a walk and only surrendered a single to fellow rookie
Charles Leblanc to earn the win. Greene did hit two batters with
pitches. Cincinnati's Albert Almora Jr. went 3-for-4 with two
doubles, two RBIs and one steal.
Marlins starter Jesus Luzardo (2-4) took the loss, pitching for
the first time since straining his left forearm on May 10. He
allowed three hits, no walks and two runs in five innings,
striking out five. Miami has lost four straight games.
Yankees 7, Mariners 2
Aaron Judge continued his torrid pace with his
major-league-leading 43rd home run -- a two-run drive in the
second inning -- as New York reached 70 wins with a victory over
visiting Seattle.
Anthony Rizzo added a three-run homer in the bottom of the first
and Jose Trevino had two solo blasts as the Yankees won for the
fourth time in five games since losing five of their first seven
games of the second half.
Kyle Lewis homered and Adam Frazier hit an RBI single as Seattle
dropped to 4-7 since entering the All-Star break with 14
straight wins.
Twins 5, Tigers 3 (10 innings)
Gio Urshela hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the
10th inning to give Minnesota a win over Detroit in Minneapolis.
The Tigers took a 3-2 lead off Griffin Jax (5-2) with one out in
the top of the 10th when Akil Baddoo singled in Willi Castro,
who was placed on second base to start the inning.
The Twins answered off Alex Lange (4-2), tying the game at 3-3
on a one-out single by Jose Miranda before Urshela sent the
first pitch he saw over the wall in center field one out later.
Orioles 7, Rangers 2
Cedric Mullins and Ryan Mountcastle both drove in two runs and
Spenser Watkins worked six strong innings as Baltimore rolled to
a win in Arlington, Texas.
Watkins (4-1) allowed just one run in 6 2/3 innings, yielding
five hits without a walk while striking out five. He has won
four straight decisions.
Corey Seager homered for the Rangers' lone run. Jon Gray (7-6)
lasted just 1 1/3 innings, giving up four runs, three of them
earned.
Guardians 6, Diamondbacks 5 (11 innings)
Amed Rosario delivered a two-out RBI single in the 11th inning
as Cleveland opened a three-game series against visiting Arizona
with a victory.
Will Benson began the inning as the automatic runner at second
base, and he moved to third on Austin Hedges' sacrifice bunt.
After Steven Kwan drew a two-out walk, Rosario singled home the
winning run against Mark Melancon (3-10) with a line drive to
right field.
Daulton Varsho and Christian Walker homered for Arizona, which
used nine pitchers in its first game at Cleveland since 2014.
Royals 2, White Sox 1
Salvador Perez and Whit Merrifield homered and Daniel Lynch
pitched into the sixth inning in his first action in more than
two weeks to boost visiting Kansas City past Chicago.
Back after being sidelined due to a finger blister, Lynch (4-7)
scattered six hits and struck out seven in 5 1/3 scoreless
innings. He did not issue a walk for the first time in 16 starts
this season. Scott Barlow tossed two shutout innings for his
17th save.
White Sox starter Michael Kopech (4-7) spaced two runs and six
hits in seven innings with one walk and three strikeouts. Gavin
Sheets' sacrifice fly scored Chicago's lone run.
Red Sox 3, Astros 2
Nathan Eovaldi sidestepped a pair of unearned runs in the third
inning and pitched effectively into the seventh as visiting
Boston topped Houston.
Boston's Jarren Duran hit an RBI double in the third inning and
a game-deciding two-run homer in the fifth. Catcher Christian
Vazquez had been due to start for the Red Sox, but he was
scratched just before the game when he was traded to the Astros
in exchange for two minor-leaguers.
Eovaldi surrendered a sacrifice fly to Yordan Alvarez that
knotted the score at 1-1 in the third, and Aledmys Diaz followed
with a run-scoring double to left field to cap the Astros'
scoring.
Dodgers 8, Giants 2
Max Muncy and Trea Turner blasted home runs, Andrew Heaney
combined with five relievers on a five-hitter and visiting Los
Angeles routed San Francisco.
The Dodgers beat the Giants for a fifth straight time, including
four in a row at home coming out of the All-Star break. Caleb
Ferguson (1-0) earned the win in relief, while Freddie Freeman
finished with a double, two singles, two RBIs and two runs for
Los Angeles.
Wilmer Flores homered for the Giants. Logan Webb (9-5) was
pulled after five innings, charged with six runs on eight hits.
Padres 4, Rockies 1
Jurickson Profar homered on Antonio Senzatela's second pitch of
the game to trigger a three-run first and Mike Clevinger held
Colorado to one run over seven innings as host San Diego cruised
to victory.
Clevinger (3-3) gave up five hits and no walks while striking
out six. The victory, in the opener of a five-game series, was
San Diego's third in four games. Colorado lost for the fourth
time in five contests.
The Rockies' lone run came on a Brendan Rodgers sacrifice fly in
the sixth. Senzatela (3-6) yielded three runs on five hits in
six innings.
