				solo shot before Cole could record an out in the first, and 
				Jarred Kelenic added a two-run shot after Cole got the first 
				out. 
				 
				Jesse Winker added a homer in the seventh as Seattle tied a 
				season best with four homers. The early power display was more 
				than enough for Castillo (5-4), who was acquired from the 
				Cincinnati Reds for four prospects on Friday. Castillo allowed 
				three runs and five hits and three walks while striking out 
				eight. 
				 
				Cole (9-4) allowed six runs on seven hits in six innings as 
				Seattle won a series from the Yankees for the first time since

				Rays 3, Blue Jays 2 
				 
				Recent acquisitions David Peralta and Jose Siri provided just 
				enough offense to lift Tampa Bay to a win over Toronto in St. 
				Petersburg, Fla. 
				 
				Peralta and Siri, a pair of outfielders acquired just before 
				Tuesday's trade deadline, each came through with a single in the 
				sixth inning. Siri led off the inning with a single, stole 
				second base and came around to score on the base hit from 
				Peralta, who went 2-for-4 in the game.

				Jason Adam fanned two in the ninth for his fifth save. Teoscar

				Nick Castellanos ended a month-long homerless streak with a 
				two-run shot to highlight a three-run eighth-inning rally that 
				helped visiting Philadelphia beat Atlanta to earn a split of a 
				two-game series. 
				 
				Castellanos had not homered since June 30, but he teed off on 
				reliever Collin McHugh with a long shot to straightaway center 
				field. The win evened the season series at 6-6 and ended 
				Atlanta's four-game winning streak. 
				 
				The rally made a winner out of Zack Wheeler (10-5), who pitched 
				seven innings and allowed one run on five hits with seven 
				strikeouts. His only mistake was a two-out solo homer to Orlando 
				Arcia in the fifth.

				of a three-game series. 
				 
				Shane Bieber (6-6) won his second straight start, allowing two 
				runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and no walks over six 
				innings. The Guardians have won 11 of their past 17 games. 
				 
				Alek Thomas homered among his two hits and had two RBIs for the 
				Diamondbacks, who concluded their six-game road trip with a 1-5 
				mark. Geraldo Perdomo hit a two-run homer with two outs in the

				out to end the game.

				Sandy Leon drove in two runs and Jorge Lopez collected a save in 
				their debuts with their new team as Minnesota defeated Detroit 
				in Minneapolis. 
				 
				Leon, who had two hits, was acquired from Cleveland on Tuesday. 
				He didn't drive in a run while appearing in eight games with the 
				Guardians this season. Lopez, acquired Tuesday from Baltimore to 
				become Minnesota's closer, retired all three batters he faced 
				for his 20th save. 
				 
				Tigers starter Tyler Alexander (2-5) gave up two runs and two 
				hits while striking out five in five innings. Harold Castro had 
				three hits and Riley Greene drove in the Tigers' lone run. 
				Detroit batters struck out 14 times. 
				 
				Orioles 6, Rangers 3 
				 
				Robinson Chirinos homered and added an RBI single as Baltimore 
				produced big late-game offense to defeat Texas and complete a 
				three-game sweep at Arlington, Texas. 
				 
				The Orioles scored in each of the last three innings to keep the 
				Rangers winless in three home games since the All-Star break. 
				Ryan McKenna also homered for the Orioles. Cionel Perez (6-1), 
				the fourth of five pitchers used by Baltimore, was the winner 
				with 1 1/3 innings of hitless relief.

				Leclerc (0-1) took the loss. 
				 
				White Sox 4, Royals 1 
				 
				Jose Abreu homered for the second straight game and Lance Lynn 
				pitched six strong innings to lift host Chicago to a victory 
				against Kansas City. 
				 
				Chicago's Eloy Jimenez extended his hitting streak to a 
				season-high nine games, finishing 3-for-4 with three singles. 
				Jimenez had four multi-hit games over the past week to help the 
				White Sox to a 4-2 homestand against Oakland and Kansas City. 
				 
				Bobby Witt Jr. cracked a solo home run in the sixth to open the 
				scoring for Kansas City and trim the deficit to three runs. He 
				finished with two hits for the Royals, who have lost seven of 
				their past nine. 
				 
				Astros 6, Red Sox 1 
				 
				Jose Urquidy allowed two hits over seven shutout innings to lead 
				Houston to a win against visiting Boston. 
				 
				Urquidy (10-4) matched his season high with 10 strikeouts and 
				didn't walk a batter. Jose Altuve went 4-for-4, and Trey Mancini 
				hit a two-run homer in his second at-bat with the Astros after 
				being acquired from Baltimore. 
				 
				Xander Bogaerts homered in the ninth to prevent the shutout, and 
				Reese McGuire had two hits in his first game for Boston since he 
				was traded from the Chicago White Sox on Monday. 
				 
				Mets 9, Nationals 5 
				 
				Daniel Vogelbach hit a grand slam, Chris Bassitt tossed seven 
				scoreless innings and New York routed host Washington to take 
				the rubber game of the three-game series.

				connected off reliever Jordan Weems in the fifth inning for his 
				first homer as a Met. Pete Alonso also went deep, Jeff McNeil

				was roughed up in his Mets debut. 
				 
				Marlins 3, Reds 0 
				 
				Sandy Alcantara pitched a six-hitter and Luke Williams stole 
				three bases as host Miami snapped a five-game losing streak by 
				beating Cincinnati. 
				 
				Alcantara (10-4) reached his career high in wins. The Marlins 
				right-hander allowed just one walk, striking out three batters 
				in his third career shutout and lowered his National 
				League-leading ERA to 1.88. Williams went 3-for-3, Jesus Aguilar 
				homered and Garrett Cooper added a two-run double. 
				 
				Mike Minor (1-8) allowed five hits, three walks and three runs
