Escobar finished 4-for-5. His single, homer and triple drove in
two runs apiece. Escobar logged the 11th cycle in Mets history
but the first since Scott Hairston accomplished the feat in
2012. The third baseman capped a three-run Mets first with a
two-run single against Padres starter Blake Snell (0-3).
Escobar doubled and scored in the fourth, popped out in the
fifth, then hit a two-run homer to right off Padres reliever
Craig Stammen in the eighth. An inning later, he hit a two-run
triple off the angled wall in right at Petco Park off Tim Hill,
igniting a four-run inning that put the game away. The cycle was
also the first ever at Petco Park, which opened in 2004.
Carrasco (7-1) won his sixth straight decision in the first
appearance of his 266-game career against the Padres.
Red Sox 1, Angels 0
Michael Wacha threw a three-hit shutout to lift Boston past Los
Angeles in Anaheim, Calif., sending the Angels to their 12th
consecutive loss, one off the franchise record.
Wacha recorded just his second career complete game. His
previous one, also a three-hit shutout, came against the New
York Mets when he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals on July
18, 2017. Wacha (4-1) struck out six and walked one while making
105 pitches.
The Red Sox scored the only run of the game against Angels
starter Noah Syndergaard (4-4) in the second inning. Alex
Verdugo hit a leadoff single and scored from first on Christian
Vazquez's two-out double. Syndergaard gave up one run on five
hits and one walk while striking out three in six innings.
Reds 7, Diamondbacks 0 (7 innings)
Rookie Hunter Greene was nearly perfect, allowing only a leadoff
bunt single over seven shutout innings as Cincinnati blanked
visiting Arizona in a game that was halted in the bottom of the
seventh inning due to rain.
Kyle Farmer and Tyler Stephenson each had two hits and two RBIs
and Brandon Drury had two hits, including his team-leading 10th
homer, as the Reds snapped a three-game losing streak.
Greene (3-7) struck out eight and walked none for the second
straight start. Madison Bumgarner (2-5) gave up four runs on
eight hits in five innings as the Diamondbacks lost their third
game in a row.
Mariners 7, Astros 4
Cal Raleigh produced his third multi-hit game of the year and
drove in a career-high four runs as visiting Seattle beat
Houston.
Raleigh smacked a three-run homer in the second inning and added
a run-scoring single in the fourth to pace the Mariners, who
entered Monday having won three consecutive series. Raleigh,
batting in the No. 9 spot, finished 2-for-4 for his second
multi-hit game of the current road trip.
Astros starter Cristian Javier (3-3) struggled throughout his
abbreviated start. He allowed five runs on six hits and one walk
with four strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings.
Blue Jays 8, Royals 0
Bo Bichette's two-run home run in the fourth inning broke a
scoreless tie and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Santiago Espinal
also went deep as Toronto defeated host Kansas City.
The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 5 minutes due to the
weather, even though there was only a light rain. Heavy
thunderstorms were predicted. The Royals managed just two hits,
both by Michael A. Taylor.
Ross Stripling (2-1) picked up the win. In five innings, he
allowed just one hit and no walks while striking out two. Daniel
Lynch (2-5) took the loss after giving up six runs on six hits
in 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out four. He gave up
all three of Toronto's homers.
