won three of four in the series. It was Canha's third career
multi-homer game. Brandon Nimmo added a solo homer in the ninth.
Trevor May (2-0) earned the win in relief. Edwin Diaz allowed
one run in the ninth but still earned his 28th save in 31
chances.
Jean Segura had put the Phillies ahead 8-7 in the bottom of the
eighth with a pinch-hit solo home run. After Jeff McNeil led off
the ninth with a double, Canha smacked his 10th homer of the
season to put the Mets up 9-8 before Nimmo's shot made it 10-8.
Alec Bohm hit two homers and drove in six runs for the Phillies.
Bohm had three hits, while Bryson Stott, Kyle Schwarber, J.T.
Realmuto and Nick Castellanos added two hits apiece and Nick

Astros 5, Braves 4
Kyle Tucker's RBI single drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth
inning to help rally visiting Houston to a win over Atlanta to
salvage one game of the three-game series between last year's
World Series contestants.
Tucker, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a
single in the sixth inning, lined a single off reliever Dylan
Lee (3-1) to right field to drive in Yordan Alvarez. Tucker took
second when Guillermo Heredia bobbled the ball and was charged
with an error. Jeremy Pena followed with a sacrifice fly.
Houston starter Jose Urquidy (12-4) went seven innings for the
third time in his last four starts. He allowed two runs on five
hits, two walks and six strikeouts. Atlanta starter Charlie
Morton pitched six innings against his former team and allowed
two runs on five hits, two walks and 11 strikeouts.
Yankees 4, Blue Jays 2
Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking, two-run home run with one
out in the seventh inning, and host New York beat Toronto to
avoid a four-game sweep and end the Blue Jays' four-game winning
streak.
After retiring former right fielder Paul O'Neill's No. 21
jersey, the Yankees won for only the fifth time in 20 games and
improved to 10-20 since the All-Star break thanks to
Benintendi's biggest swing since being acquired from Kansas City
last month.
New York starter Nestor Cortes allowed one run and three hits in
six innings. He struck out five, striking out the side in the
sixth after Aaron Judge was plunked by Alek Manoah in the fifth.

inning lifted Baltimore, which was playing as the host, past
Boston in the fifth annual Little League Classic in
Williamsport, Pa.

Felix Bautista pitched the ninth for his eighth save after
allowing a leadoff homer to Xander Bogaerts. Anthony Santander
had three hits for the Orioles, who took two of three from
Boston.

leadoff homer against Dillon Tate in the eighth. Boston starter
Nick Pivetta worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits
and a walk. He fanned nine.

Eduardo Rodriguez pitched five scoreless innings in his first
major league start since May 18, Riley Greene hit a leadoff
homer and host Detroit blanked Los Angeles.
Rodriguez (2-3) gave up four hits and three walks and struck out
five. He had a stint on the injured list with a rib cage injury,
then was placed on the restricted list for personal reasons.
Greene reached base four times and scored two runs. Victor Reyes
drove in a pair of runs.
Angels starter Shohei Ohtani (10-8), who was battling a stomach
virus, gave up three runs on five hits and four walks in four
innings. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the fifth. Mike
Trout reached base three times, including two hits.
Reds 9, Pirates 5
Cincinnati scored four runs in the sixth inning to beat host
Pittsburgh and win two of three games in the teams' weekend
series.
Cincinnati won despite a poor starting performance from Mike
Minor (2-10). He pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing five earned
runs on nine hits. The Reds are 7-5 against the Pirates this
season.
Pittsburgh starting pitcher Zach Thompson (3-10) allowed three
runs on eight hits in five innings. The game fell apart for the
Pirates when Manny Banuelos entered the game. Banuelos allowed
all four runs in the sixth inning.
Rays 3, Royals 2
Harold Ramirez went 3-for-4 and knocked in two runs, including
the game-winning RBI in the fifth inning, as Tampa Bay beat
Kansas City in St. Petersburg, Fla.

two hits and a run and Randy Arozarena posted a hit, walk, run
and stolen base as the Rays improved to 7-2 over their past nine
games.
Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr. and MJ Melendez each produced
doubles, but the club totaled only four hits for the third
straight game and lost for the sixth time in seven outings.
Royals starting pitcher Zack Greinke was attempting to win at
Tropicana Field for the first time in his 19 years in the majors
but was removed after allowing two runs on five hits in four
innings.
Rangers 7, Twins 0
Marcus Semien homered and drove in three runs while Kohei
Arihara fired six scoreless innings as Texas blanked Minnesota
in Minneapolis.
Arihara (1-1), making just his second start of the year, allowed
four hits and walked none while fanning three for the Rangers.
Taylor Hearn relieved him and struck out five while retiring all
nine hitters he faced for his first major league save as Texas
earned its second straight win in a series that ends on Monday
night.
Joe Ryan (9-6) was a tough-luck loser for the Twins, giving up
only two hits and two runs over 6 1/3 innings with three walks
and six strikeouts. Jorge Polanco had two of Minnesota's four
hits.
Brewers 5, Cubs 2
Keston Hiura tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh,
then added some insurance with a late two-run drive into the
left-center-field bleachers as visiting Milwaukee rallied for a
victory over Chicago.
Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff went 5 2/3 innings, allowing
just Ian Happ's 100th career homer in the first and Seiya
Suzuki's 10th blast of the season in the fourth, plus two other
hits. He walked two and tossed five strikeouts.
Suzuki also recorded a single and double for the Cubs, who
played without slugger Patrick Wisdom after he injured his
finger on a play at the plate during Saturday's victory. X-rays
were negative, according to the team.
Giants 9, Rockies 8 (11 innings)
Evan Longoria hit a grand slam among his three hits, Austin
Wynns had two hits and San Francisco beat Colorado in Denver.

and Zack Littell got the final three outs for his first save.
San Francisco scored the winning run on Wilmer Flores' sacrifice
fly in the 11th inning.
San Francisco scored twice in the 10th on an RBI single by
Thairo Estrada and a run-scoring double by Wynns to lead 8-6.

Ryan McMahon and Charlie Blackmon, who each finished with two
hits for the Rockies.
Athletics 5, Mariners 3
Left-hander JP Sears pitched five strong innings, Sam Moll
escaped an eighth-inning jam and Oakland made it two out of
three over visiting Seattle with a triumph.
Shea Langeliers had a single, double and triple, driving in one
run and scoring another, for the A's, who won for the fourth
time in their last six games following a nine-game losing
streak.
Shooting for a third consecutive series win over Oakland, the
Mariners rallied to 4-3 in the seventh on an RBI double by pinch
hitter Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez's third hit of the game,
an RBI single. Luis Castillo (5-5) suffered his first loss in
four starts for the Mariners, charged with four runs on eight
hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out five.
Dodgers 10, Marlins 3
Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy hit home runs, rookie Ryan Pepiot
went six strong innings and Los Angeles finished a three-game
sweep of visiting Miami with a victory.

home winning streak to nine games while improving to 16-3 in
August. Los Angeles also improved its major league-best record
to 84-36. Pepiot (2-0) gave up two runs and four hits on his
25th birthday with two walks and a career-best seven strikeouts.

Nolan Arenado drove in three runs as St. Louis defeated Arizona
in Phoenix for its seventh consecutive victory.
Jake Woodford (2-0), the third of five Cardinals pitchers,
earned the victory. Giovanny Gallegos closed out the ninth for
his 12th save. Cardinals starting pitcher Jose Quintana lasted
just 2 2/3 innings. He allowed four runs (two earned) on seven
hits and three walks.

in six innings for the Diamondbacks, who lost for the fifth time
in seven games. Kelly struck out six batters and walked three.
Padres 2, Nationals 1
Josh Bell hit a two-run homer off Patrick Corbin in the sixth
inning to give San Diego a second straight 2-1 victory over
visiting Washington and a split of their four-game series.
Nelson Cruz had given Washington a 1-0 lead with a solo homer
off Padres starter Sean Manaea with one out in the fourth.
Manaea (7-6) held the Nationals to Cruz's homer on five hits and
no walks with four strikeouts over seven innings -- thanks in
part to several outstanding defensive plays by shortstop Ha-Seong
Kim. Manaea threw just 69 pitches.
