The Orioles have won eight straight games, the first time
Baltimore has done that in a single season since April 22-May 1,
2005.
Through 87 games, the Orioles are 43-44. They needed 136 games
to record their 43rd victory last season when they reached that
mark on Sept. 6 and finished the season 52-110.
Austin Voth (1-1) allowed two runs on four hits with six
strikeouts and no walks in five innings to pick up the win.
Braves 4, Nationals 3 (12 innings)
Austin Riley drove in his third run of the game with a
12th-inning single to lift Atlanta past visiting Washington,
completing a three-game sweep. The Braves won for the sixth time
in their last seven games by scoring the only run in the extra
innings.
Riley led off the bottom of the eighth with a game-tying home
run. With his game-winning single, he joined Dansby Swanson with
three hits for the Braves. Six Atlanta pitchers combined on a
five-hitter.
Lane Thomas smashed a pinch-hit, three-run home run in the sixth
inning to account for Washington's runs, but his ninth blast of
the season couldn't prevent the Nationals from losing for the
10th time in their last 11 games.
Red Sox 11, Yankees 6
Trevor Story's three-run double highlighted Boston's four-run
seventh inning in a win over visiting New York.
Story went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs as one of four
Boston players with multiple hits, as the Red Sox rallied for
back-to-back victories to halve the four-game series. Eight of
Boston's 11 runs came in the fifth through seventh innings.
Christian Vazquez, Alex Verdugo and Xander Bogaerts also had two
hits for Boston, and Franchy Cordero, Vazquez and J.D. Martinez
all homered for the Red Sox.
Mariners 6, Blue Jays 5
Carlos Santana homered twice, the latter a two-run shot in the
eighth inning to take the lead, as host Seattle completed a
four-game sweep of Toronto.
The Mariners won their eighth consecutive game to pull even with
Toronto for the American League's third and final wild-card
playoff berth.
George Springer, Raimel Tapia and Bo Bichette homered for the
Blue Jays, who lost for the ninth time in their past 10 games.
Bichette's solo shot to left-center field in the seventh broke a
4-4 tie.
Marlins 2, Mets 0 (10 innings)
Billy Hamilton scored the game's first run in the 10th inning
Sunday afternoon as visiting Miami salvaged a split of a
four-game series against New York. The Marlins have won eight of
11. The Mets fell to 6-4 this month.
Hamilton, who pinch-ran for Garrett Cooper as the automatic
runner at second base to start the 10th, stole third on a 2-1
pitch to Jesus Aguilar and trotted home when the throw from
catcher Tomas Nido sailed into left field.
Tanner Scott earned his 12th save with a hitless 10th in which
he whiffed Francisco Lindor, the potential winning run, for the
final out. Jon Berti had three hits for Miami, while Luis
Guillorme singled three times for the Mets.
Dodgers 11, Cubs 9
Trea Turner's two-run single capped a six-run third inning and
Los Angeles rallied to beat visiting Chicago to complete a
four-game series sweep.
Freddie Freeman hit a home run among his four hits as the
Dodgers won their seventh consecutive game and the 11th of their
last 12. Los Angeles also went 10-1 on a season-long 11-game
homestand.
P.J. Higgins hit his first-career grand slam and David Bote
added a three-run shot for the Cubs, who went 2-5 on their final
road trip before the All-Star break.
White Sox 4, Tigers 2
AJ Pollock grounded a go-ahead, pinch-hit single up the middle
with two outs in the eighth inning, and Eloy Jimenez singled
home an insurance run one batter later as host Chicago rallied
to beat Detroit.
Fighting the sun and wind on a Luis Robert fly ball in the
eighth, Tigers left fielder Robbie Grossman committed his first
error since June 13, 2018, a span of 440 games that marked the
longest errorless streak by a position player in major league
history. Robert advanced to second base, setting the stage for
Pollock's RBI after an intentional walk to Jose Abreu.
Javier Baez hit a two-run home run in the first inning for
Detroit.
Reds 10, Rays 5
Mike Moustakas drilled his 200th career home run as part of a
seven-run outburst in the third inning as Cincinnati routed
visiting Tampa Bay to complete a three-game sweep.
Reds pitcher Nick Lodolo (2-2) earned the win with three runs on
nine hits with one walk and six strikeouts. The loss went to
Tampa Bay's Shane Baz, who allowed seven runs on eight hits with
two strikeouts.
The Rays played the game without two of their regulars as both
infielder Wander Franco (right wrist) and center fielder Kevin
Kiermaier (left hip) were injured Saturday and placed on the
injured list before the game..
Royals 5, Guardians 1
MJ Melendez drove in two runs and Zack Greinke tossed five
shutout innings as Kansas City beat visiting Cleveland in the
rubber match of a three-game series.

strikeouts for the Royals. Jose Cuas, Dylan Coleman, Taylor
Clarke and Joel Payamps each pitched an inning of relief to seal
the victory. Hunter Dozier and Kyle Isbel added two hits apiece
for Kansas City.
After recording a season-high 23 hits in Saturday's 13-1
victory, Cleveland was limited to five hits in the series
finale. The Guardians tallied their lone run in the ninth when
Owen Miller scored from third on a wild pitch.
Cardinals 4, Phillies 3
Albert Pujols went 3-for-4 and hit his 684th career home run as
host St. Louis defeated Philadelphia. Pujols' homer was also his
1,377th extra-base hit -- tying him with Cardinals legend Stan
Musial for third on baseball's all-time list.
Cardinals' reliever Jordan Hicks (2-4) threw a scoreless eighth
inning to earn the victory, and Ryan Helsley closed out the
ninth for his seventh save.
The Phillies opened with Nick Nelson as the first of five
pitchers. He allowed one run on three hits and a walk in two
innings. Jeurys Familia threw a scoreless inning, Cristopher
Sanchez allowed two runs on two hits and a walk in three
innings, Andrew Bellatti got three outs, and Seranthony
Dominguez (4-3) allowed the eighth-inning run to take the loss.
Twins 6, Rangers 5
Byron Buxton connected on his 23rd home run of the season in the
first inning, Ryan Jeffers also provided power with a blast in
the sixth, and Minnesota held off Texas in Arlington, Texas.

the Twins in front for good. Dylan Bundy (5-4) turned in five
innings for the Twins, giving up four runs on six hits. Tyler
Duffey picked up his second save. Brock Burke (4-2) suffered the
loss for the Rangers.
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager homered in all three games of the
series, and his opposite-field shot in the eighth inning Sunday
was a towering drive that made it a one-run game. Left fielder
Gilberto Celestino made a leaping attempt, but the ball popped
out of his glove over the wall.
Giants 12, Padres 0
Alex Wood didn't allow a hit over his first five innings and
Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores hit early two-run homers as
visiting San Francisco routed San Diego to split a four-game
series.
Wood (6-7) held the Padres scoreless on three hits and a walk
with eight strikeouts over seven innings. Flores went 4-for-6
with two homers and four RBIs for the Giants. His second homer
came off Padres infielder Matthew Batten in the ninth.
The Giants jumped on Padres starter MacKenzie Gore (4-4) for
eight runs on eight hits and a walk in just 3 1/3 innings.
Estrada, Austin Slater and David Villar recorded two hits and
two runs apiece for San Francisco.
Pirates 8, Brewers 6
Daniel Vogelbach provided the cushion with a three-run homer to
help Pittsburgh hang on to beat host Milwaukee in the rubber
game of the weekend series.
Vogelbach's 12th homer, which was the Pirates' fourth of the
game, came in the ninth inning off Chi Chi Gonzalez and extended
the lead to 8-4. Andrew McCutchen brought Milwaukee within 8-6
in the bottom half with a two-run homer, his eighth.
Pittsburgh erased a 4-3 deficit with a pair of solo homers off
Trevor Gott (1-2), who relieved to start the sixth. Michael

field to highlight a three-run seventh inning as Colorado
rallied to defeat Arizona in Phoenix.
Connor Joe drove in the winning run with a single as the Rockies
took advantage of Josh Rojas' throwing error to score three
unearned runs. Charlie Blackmon finished with two hits as
Colorado won a four-game series at Chase Field for the first
time in 10 tries in franchise history.
German Marquez (5-7) picked up the win after allowing two runs
on three hits and two walks over seven innings. Daniel Bard
pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his 18th save. Ketel Marte homered

the season, to Houston's fifth victory over Oakland in six games
this season.
