Smyly (5-6) struck out a season-high nine batters in working out
of jams in each of the first three innings. Rowan Wick pitched
the ninth inning for his seventh save in nine chances.
The Cubs, wearing early 1900s throwback outfits, rallied with
two outs and nobody on in the first inning against Cincinnati
starter and loser Nick Lodolo (3-4), who walked four and allowed
all four runs over 4 2/3 innings.
The three-run uprising started when Lodolo hit Patrick Wisdom on
the back foot with a breaking ball. Seiya Suzuki doubled to
left-center field to score Wisdom for a 1-0 lead. Nico Hoerner
then singled home Suzuki and Ian Happ doubled to score Hoerner
to cap the three-run first inning.
Marlins 3, Phillies 0
Edward Cabrera pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, leading Miami
over host Philadelphia.
Cabrera (3-1) allowed just three hits and two walks, striking
out six batters. Joey Wendle led the Marlins' offense, going
2-for-4 with one triple and one RBI as the Marlins broke a
two-game losing skid.
The Phillies, who loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth to
no avail, had their seven-game win streak snapped. Kyle Gibson
(7-5) turned in a quality start but took the loss, allowing six
hits, two walks and three runs, two earned.
Guardians 4, Tigers 3 (10 innings)
Oscar Gonzalez drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out,
10th-inning single and visiting Cleveland stretched its winning
streak to five games by downing Detroit.
Enyel De Los Santos (3-0) got two outs after Detroit scored two
runs in the ninth and collected the win. Bryan Shaw notched his
first save. Steven Kwan hit a solo home run and Andres Gimenez
scored two runs for the Guardians.
Javier Baez homered for the Tigers, while Willi Castro had three
hits and scored a run. Starter Garrett Hill gave up three runs
(one earned) and four hits in five innings. The Tigers forced
extra innings with two runs in the ninth but ultimately dropped
their fourth straight contest.
Astros 7, Rangers 3
Framber Valdez threw seven shutout innings to lead Houston to a
win against visiting Texas in the rubber match of their
three-game series.
Valdez (11-4) allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one
to match his major league career high in wins for a season. He's
3-0 with a 3.00 ERA in four starts since he was the winning
pitcher for the American League in the All-Star Game on July 19.
Martin Maldonado belted a three-run homer, Alex Bregman had a
two-run shot and Yuli Gurriel added three hits and scored twice
for the Astros. Marcus Semien homered and Leody Taveras had two
hits and an RBI for Texas.
Royals 5, White Sox 3
Zack Greinke outdueled Dylan Cease as host Kansas City defeated
Chicago.
The Royals claimed the four-game series three games to one.
After taking three of four from the Boston Red Sox in their
prior series, it marked the first time since Aug. 11-18, 2014
that the Royals have won back-to-back four-game series.
Greinke (4-7) scattered nine hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings,
often getting out of jams of his own doing. He didn't walk a
batter and struck out five.
Rockies 8, Cardinals 6
Brendan Rodgers belted a three-run homer and Ryan McMahon also
went deep to power Colorado over St. Louis in Denver.
The Rockies broke open a 2-2 game in the seventh and batted
around against the St. Louis bullpen. Lucas Gilbreath (1-0)
pitched a scoreless inning of relief and Daniel Bard picked up
his 24th save for the Rockies.
Paul Goldschmidt homered among his three hits and Nolan Gorman
and Nolan Arenado also went deep for the Cardinals.
Diamondbacks 9, Pirates 3
Daulton Varsho blasted a bases-clearing double during a
seven-run seventh inning as Arizona stormed to a victory over
Pittsburgh in Phoenix.
Emmanuel Rivera homered, doubled twice and had three RBIs for
the D-backs, who took three of four from the Pirates and have
won six of their last nine. Kevin Ginkel (1-0) recorded two outs
in the seventh inning for the win.
Trailing 3-2 in the seventh, Arizona sent 11 batters to the
plate in the bottom half and scored seven runs against relievers
Chase De Jong (4-1), Yerry De Los Santos and Duane Underwood Jr.
Ke'Bryan Hayes had two hits for Pittsburgh, which recorded four
stolen bases but lost for the 12th time in its last 17 games.
Red Sox 4, Orioles 3
Eric Hosmer ripped a go-ahead RBI double in the sixth inning to
lift host Boston to a victory over Baltimore.
The win in the one-game "series" was Boston's first in 13 sets
(1-11-1) against American League East foes this season. The
one-off game was a result of the owners' work stoppage before
the season causing part of the schedule to be reshuffled.
Alex Verdugo and Tommy Pham each had an RBI double for the Red
Sox, who had five doubles en route to snapping a four-game
losing skid. Terrin Vavra ripped a two-run triple and scored on
Austin Hays' RBI single for the Orioles, who lost for just the
second time in their last nine games.
