With one out, one on and the Orioles leading 1-0 in the eighth,
Tampa Bay right-fielder Josh Lowe couldn't find Mancini's fly
ball in the sun. The ball hit him and rolled into the
right-field corner. Austin Hays scored from second, and Mancini
beat the relay throw home for his first career inside-the-park
homer.
Between innings, Mancini, the designated hitter and longtime
member of the Orioles, received a curtain call. The Orioles
embark Friday on a six-game road trip that will extend beyond
the trade deadline.
Lyles (7-8), allowed three hits and pitched around control
problems as he struck out four and walked four. Felix Bautista
pitched 1 1/3 innings for his third save. Ryan Yarbrough (0-6)
went toe-to-toe with Lyles, allowing a run on four hits over six
innings. He struck out eight batters without a walk.
Yankees 1, Royals 0
Aaron Judge hit a game-ending homer with one out in the ninth
inning as New York eked out a victory over visiting Kansas City.
Judge lifted a first-pitch fastball from Scott Barlow (4-3) off
an advertisement in the back of the visiting bullpen beyond
left-center field. Judge's major-league-best 39th homer and
sixth in seven games occurred after Yankees newcomer Andrew
Benintendi capped an 0-for-4 debut by fouling out to left field.
Kansas City's Brady Singer dominated the Yankees by throwing
mostly sinkers and sliders in seven overpowering innings. He
limited New York just to a Gleyber Torres single in the fourth
inning while striking out 10 and walking one.
Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3
Matt Chapman hit two home runs and had three RBIs and host
Toronto defeated Detroit in the opener of a four-game series.
Toronto left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (4-5) was reinstated from the
15-day injured list (neck strain) to make the start. He allowed
one run, two hits and one walk while striking out five in five
innings.
Detroit left-hander Tyler Alexander (2-4) allowed three runs
(two earned), five hits and one walk with one strikeout in four
innings. Willi Castro and Jonathan Schoop hit solo home runs for
the Tigers.
Dodgers 13, Rockies 0

tossed seven shutout innings and Los Angeles clobbered Colorado
in Denver.

Angeles, which has won five in a row over the Rockies. Turner
and Smith each knocked in three runs. Anderson (11-1) held his
former team to four hits and no walks while fanning four.
Brendan Rodgers had four hits for Colorado, which has dropped
five of its first seven out of the All-Star break. Los Angeles
is 6-2 since the break.
Rangers 2, Angels 0
Spencer Howard outpitched Shohei Ohtani, Corey Seager had three
hits and Texas held on to beat Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.
Howard (2-2) gave up three hits in five scoreless innings,
striking out five and not walking a batter. Seager doubled home
one run, and Nathaniel Lowe launched a solo shot for the
Rangers.
Ohtani (9-6) gave up two runs in six innings, a solid
performance but not good enough on a night when the Los Angeles
offense was silent. Ohtani struck out 11, giving him 68 in his
last six starts. He finished in double digits in all six.
Giants 4, Cubs 2
Left-hander Alex Wood took a no-hitter into the seventh inning
and Yermin Mercedes contributed a two-run single to a three-run
third as host San Francisco snapped a seven-game losing streak
by beating Chicago.
Patrick Wisdom smacked a two-run homer for the Cubs, who saw a
six-game winning streak come to an end. His 18th homer of the
season came three batters after Ian Happ singled to center field
leading off the seventh, ending Wood's no-hit bid.
In 6 2/3 innings, Wood (7-8) allowed two runs and two hits. He
walked two and struck out three. Cubs starter Justin Steele
(4-7) lasted just 3 2/3 innings, although all four runs he
allowed were unearned. He gave up five hits and a walk while
striking out six.
Red Sox 4, Guardians 2
Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer and Kutter Crawford
allowed just one run across 5 2/3 innings as host Boston
defeated Cleveland to snap a two-game losing skid.
Trailing 1-0 going into the bottom of the sixth, the Red Sox
were shut out for five innings, but Jeter Downs led off the
sixth with a base hit. He was forced at second on Jarren Duran's
bunt.
Alex Verdugo's single moved Duran to second, and Bogaerts ripped
his eighth home run of the season over the Green Monster to
supply Boston with all the runs it needed to split the four-game
series with the Guardians.
Phillies 8, Pirates 7
Kyle Schwarber smacked his 32nd home run, a three-run shot, and
Darick Hall hit a two-run triple as vPhiladelphia outlasted
hosted Pittsburgh.
Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm and Didi Gregorius each added RBI
hits for the Phillies, who have won three of four.
Philadelphia starter Zack Wheeler (9-5) pitched seven innings,
allowing two runs and three hits, with eight strikeouts and
three walks. Serathony Dominguez got the final two outs for his
sixth save.

Alex Bregman homered in the first inning and hit a go-ahead
double in the eighth as Houston claimed a victory over visiting
Seattle in the opener of a four-game series.
The Astros not only snapped a three-game losing skid, they
claimed the season series with the Mariners while extending
their lead in the American League West to 11 games over the
second-place Mariners. Houston is 10-6 vs. Seattle this year
with just the games the next three days remaining.
With the score 2-2 in the eighth, Yuli Gurriel was hit by a
pitch from Mariners reliever Andres Munoz (1-4) and swiped
second base. Bregman then hit an RBI drive to left-center field,
went to third on a groundout and scored when Munoz uncorked a
wild pitch.
Marlins 7, Reds 6
Jesus Sanchez hit a pinch-hit home run to tie the score in the
ninth inning and Joey Wendle followed with a go-ahead RBI double
as Miami rallied to defeat host Cincinnati.
Jesus Aguilar went 3-for-4 with four RBIs to lead the Marlins'
offense. He followed Wendle's double with a sacrifice fly that
proved to be the winning run. He also blasted a two-run homer
measured at 419 feet and added an RBI double.
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Tommy Pham's RBI
single closed the Reds' deficit to 7-6. But with runners on
first and second, Tanner Scott struck out Joey Votto swinging at
a high, 97-mph fastball. Pham finished with three hits and two
RBIs for Cincinnati.
