Albert Pujols continued his offensive tear at the plate,
providing the Cardinals' lone run with the 693rd homer of his
career. Montgomery faced just 28 batters while leading St. Louis
to its eighth straight victory, its longest winning streak of
the season.
Montgomery (7-3), who had never completed more than seven
innings since breaking into the majors in 2017 with the New York
Yankees, yielded only Christopher Morel's two-out, third-inning
double. He struck out seven and improved to 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA
in four starts for St. Louis.
Chicago starter Drew Smyly (5-7) gave up just Pujols'
seventh-inning blast in his seven-inning outing. He allowed only
three other hits and two walks while striking out six.
Brewers 4, Dodgers 0
Luis Urias and Keston Hiura hit home runs while Milwaukee's
pitching staff shut down host Los Angeles.
Brewers starter Eric Lauer (9-5) delivered five innings, and
Peter Strzelecki, Hoby Milner, Matt Bush and Jason Alexander
completed the shutout.
Dodgers starter Julio Urias (13-7), who entered with a 0.95 ERA
over his past six starts, all wins, saw his streak end. He gave
up one run on two hits in six innings.
Yankees 4, Mets 2
Aaron Judge hit a home run off Max Scherzer, his
major-league-leading 47th long ball of the year, as the host
Yankees won the opener of a two-game Subway Series.
The Yankees won consecutive games for the first time since
getting three straight wins over the Kansas City Royals from
July 28-30. Andrew Benintendi (2-for-3) accounted for New York's
other three runs. Domingo German (2-2) outpitched Scherzer,
allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Scherzer tied a season high by giving up four runs on seven hits
in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked one to remain
one win shy of No. 200 for his career.
Royals 6, White Sox 4
Salvador Perez and Ryan O'Hearn each had two hits and an RBI to
help Kansas City earn a win against visiting Chicago in a makeup
game.
Amir Garrett (3-1) pitched a perfect eighth for the Royals, and
Scott Barlow worked the ninth for his 20th save.
Elvis Andrus had two hits and three RBIs and Jose Abreu had
three hits, two walks and two runs for the White Sox. Chicago
starter Michael Kopech left after facing four batters because of
a sore knee. All four batters reached base and Kopech was
charged with four runs.
Rangers 2, Twins 1
Corey Seager delivered a tiebreaking RBI single two innings
after he was involved in a triple play for Texas, which edged
Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Adolis Garcia homered in the fifth for the Rangers, who won the
final three games of the four-game series and are 5-3 under
interim manager Tony Beasley. The Twins, who turned their second
triple play of the season, fell two games behind the idle
first-place Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central.
A.J. Alexy (1-0), the second of five Rangers pitchers, earned
the win by allowing one hit over 2 1/3 innings of relief. Sonny
Gray (7-4) took the tough-luck loss for the Twins after allowing
two runs on five hits in six innings.
Phillies 4, Reds 1
Nick Castellanos hit a home run and a double and drove in two
runs to lift host Philadelphia past Cincinnati.
Bryson Stott homered, Alec Bohm added three hits and J.T.
Realmuto had two hits and an RBI for the Phillies, who won for
just the second time in their past six games. Noah Syndergaard
(8-8) tossed seven strong innings and allowed three hits and one
run.
Austin Romine hit a solo home run for the Reds, who managed only
three hits. Reds starter Luis Cessa (3-2) pitched just two
innings, giving up three hits and two runs.
Braves 2, Pirates 1
Michael Harris II hit a two-run homer to lift visiting Atlanta
to a win over Pittsburgh.
The homer was Harris' only official at-bat -- he walked twice --
and Vaughn Grissom was 1-for-3 with a run scored for the Braves,
who have won 12 of their past 14 games. Jake Odorizzi (5-5) gave
up one run and four hits in six innings to pick up his first win
with his new club.
Oneil Cruz hit a solo homer for the Pirates, who have lost three
in a row and nine of their last 11. Pittsburgh starter Roansy
Contreras (3-4) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings.
Rays 2, Angels 1
Randy Arozarena ripped a go-ahead solo homer to back a strong
start from Jeffrey Springs as Tampa Bay edged Los Angeles in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
Springs (6-3) scattered five hits over 5 2/3 innings of one-run
ball. David Peralta went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI while
Yu Chang and Arozarena contributed two hits apiece as the Rays
earned their eighth win in 10 games.
David Fletcher and Andrew Velazquez each had two hits for the
Angels, who managed just six hits and fell for the sixth time in
seven games. Mike Trout provided Los Angeles' only run with an
RBI single.
Marlins 3, Athletics 0
Edward Cabrera allowed just two hits over eight shutout innings,
rookie Charles Leblanc hit a home run and Miami opened a
three-game series at Oakland with a victory.
Since returning from his injury on Aug. 5, Cabrera has not
allowed a run in 22 2/3 innings over four starts. He walked
three and struck out seven.
Leblanc's homer came off A's starter Adam Oller (2-6), who
worked six innings, allowing all three Marlins runs and five
hits. He walked five and struck out two. JJ Bleday finished with
two hits for the Marlins.
