Bohm tied it with a leadoff homer off Hader (0-1), who Sunday
tied the major league record of 40 consecutive scoreless
appearances, dating back to last July 28.
After Bryson Stott flied out, pinch hitter Vierling ripped a 1-2
pitch 416 feet to left-center for his first homer of the season.
It was the first blown save for Hader, who had converted his
first 18 opportunities this season and 32 straight overall.
Corey Knebel walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth,
but he struck out Pablo Reyes for his 10th save in 13 chances.
Phillies starter Ranger Suarez allowed two runs on six hits in
seven innings, striking out five and walking none. Connor
Brogdon (1-0) tossed a scoreless eighth.
Red Sox 6, Angels 5 (10)
Christian Vazquez's one-out single in the 10th inning drove home
Trevor Story from second base to lift Boston to a victory over
Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.
The Red Sox registered their sixth consecutive win, while the
Angels took their 13th loss in a row, setting a single-season
club record. The game was the first for Angels interim manager
Phil Nevin, who took over for manager Joe Maddon, fired earlier
in the day. To make matters worse for Los Angeles, center
fielder Mike Trout had to leave the game in the third inning due
to a left groin tightness.
The Red Sox rallied from a 5-3 deficit with single runs in the
sixth and seventh innings, sending the game to extra innings.
Story began the 10th inning on second base as the designated
runner, and one out later, Vazquez's single to right field off
Jaime Barria drove home the game-winner.
Astros 4, Mariners 1
Justin Verlander struck out a season-high 12 batters over seven
strong innings as Houston topped visiting Seattle.
Verlander (7-2) allowed one run on six hits and two walks while
throwing a season-high 108 pitches. Kyle Tucker and Jeremy Pena
hit RBI singles for the Astros, and Yordan Alvarez added a
two-run homer. Ryan Pressly pitched a perfect ninth inning,
fanning two, for his 11th save.
Abraham Toro drove in Seattle's only run with a groundout. Chris
Flexen (2-7) yielded two runs on five hits and three walks in 6
2/3 innings. He struck out two.
Guardians 6, Rangers 3 (Game 1)
Cal Quantrill won his second consecutive start and the Guardians
reached the .500 mark after topping visiting Rangers. The
right-hander pitched seven innings and allowed three runs, eight
hits and one walk. He struck out three.
Cleveland recorded six stolen bases, as Myles Straw and Amed
Rosario each had two. Straw also made a sliding catch in the
sixth inning that saved one or possibly two runs with a drive
off the bat of Texas' Nathaniel Lowe.
Rangers rookie Steele Walker's first major league hit was a
349-foot homer into the bleachers in right to lead off the
seventh. The Rangers have now hit home runs in 10 consecutive
games.
Rangers 6, Guardians 3 (Game 2)
Visiting Texas blasted four home runs, including two by red-hot
Marcus Semien, to defeat Cleveland in the second game of the
doubleheader.
Semien was 4-for-4 with two homers in the second game. The
infielder was 7-for-8 in the two games with three home runs. He
is the first player since 1973 to have seven hits and three home
runs on a single day and he also tied the franchise record for
hits in a doubleheader.
Left-hander Taylor Hearn (4-4) was in total command through five
innings before Cleveland touched him up for three runs in the
sixth. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, three
runs and two walks while fanning six. The Guardians finally
broke through with an RBI base hit from Amed Rosario.
Marlins 12, Nationals 2
Jazz Chisholm Jr. blasted his first career grand slam and added
a two-run shot, leading host Miami to a win over Washington in
the opener of a three-game series.
Marlins rookie Edward Cabrera (2-0) earned the win in his second
start of the season. He allowed just two hits, two walks and one
run while striking out four in six innings. Nationals rookie
Joan Adon (1-10) gave up seven hits, two walks and eight runs in
three-plus innings. He fanned two.
The Marlins, who have won six of seven games against Washington
this year, lost center fielder Jesus Sanchez to a back injury in
the second inning.
Braves 3, A's 2
Guillermo Heredia, a late insertion into the starting lineup,
hit the go-ahead home run in the seventh inning to help Atlanta
beat visiting Oakland to extend its winning streak to six games.
The Braves also got a pair of long solo home runs from Ronald
Acuna Jr. He hit a 435-footer in the bottom of the first and a
464-footer in the third inning, giving him a homer in three
consecutive at-bats dating to Sunday's game.
The winning pitcher was Kyle Wright (6-3), who won his second
straight start. Wright pitched a career-high eight innings and
allowed two runs on five hits and seven strikeouts. Lou Trivino
(1-4) suffered the loss after one inning of relief.
Rockies 5, Giants 3
Charlie Blackmon swatted a pinch-hit, three-run homer into
McCovey Cove in the sixth inning to lead Colorado to a victory
at San Francisco.
Connor Joe reached base three times and had a leadoff homer
among his two hits for the Rockies, who halted a four-game
slide. German Marquez (2-5) allowed three runs and four hits
over six innings, and Daniel Bard struck out two in a perfect
ninth for his 12th save.
Wilmer Flores had a homer among his three hits for San
Francisco. Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford departed in the
fifth inning due to right quadriceps tightness.
Yankees 10, Twins 4
Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo homered and New
York pulled away for a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis.
DJ LeMahieu, Jose Trevino and Joey Gallo added one RBI apiece
for the Yankees, who won their seventh game in a row. Lucas
Luetge (2-2) earned the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless
relief.
Jorge Polanco finished 4-for-5 with a double, a homer and two
RBIs to lead the Twins. Cole Sands (0-2) surrendered four runs
on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings.
Orioles 9, Cubs 3
Jorge Mateo's three-run home run was one of five long balls as
Baltimore romped past visiting Chicago. The first batter for
both teams homered, but the Orioles had a steadier power display
as Cedric Mullins, Trey Mancini, Austin Hays and Ramon Urias all
went deep.
Cubs starter Keegan Thompson (6-1), who entered the game with a
1.99 ERA, allowed seven runs in three innings. He gave up five
hits, walked one, hit two batters with pitches and struck out
one.
Bryan Baker (2-3) was the winning pitcher in relief of starter
Kyle Bradish, who lasted 4 2/3 innings. Bradish gave up two runs
on four hits and five walks with five strikeouts. Baker yielded
on run in 1 1/3 innings.
Blue Jays 7, Royals 0
Alek Manoah spun six shutout innings as visiting Toronto blanked
Kansas City for the second straight night.
The Blue Jays, who earned an 8-0 win on Monday in the opener of
a three-game series, won back-to-back shutouts and Toronto won
for the 11th time in 13 games. Alejandro Kirk went 4-for-5 with
a run to lead the Toronto offense. Manoah (7-1) kept the Royals
off balance while scattering six hits and three walks.
Royals starter Brad Keller (1-7) allowed three runs on seven
hits with two walks and four strikeouts in six-plus innings. He
got the Blue Jays to ground into three inning-ending double
plays.
Tigers 5, Pirates 3
Tarik Skubal pitched seven strong innings as visiting Detroit
broke a three-game skid with a win over Pittsburgh.
Harold Castro had a two-run single and Jonathan Schoop, Spencer
Torkelson and Tucker Barnhart hit RBI doubles for the Tigers.
Skubal (5-2) was a last-minute starter. That didn't seem to
cause problems for the 25-year-old left-hander, who allowed
three runs and six hits with nine strikeouts and no walks.
Cal Mitchell hit a two-run homer and Yu Chang had an RBI double
for the Pirates, who were 5-1 in their previous six games.
Pittsburgh starter Jose Quintana (1-3) pitched 3 1/3 innings,
allowing four runs and seven hits with five strikeouts and one
walk.
Reds 14, Diamondbacks 8
Joey Votto got the offense rolling with a three-run homer in the
first inning and rookie Graham Ashcraft tossed six shutout
innings as Cincinnati routed visiting Arizona.
Ashcraft (3-0) retired the first 10 batters he faced, extending
Cincinnati's perfect streak to 30 batters, including the last 20
retired by Hunter Greene on Monday night. Ashcraft didn't allow
a batter to reach until Pavin Smith singled down the left field
line with one out in the fourth.
The Diamondbacks finally ended their scoreless drought at 26
innings when Geraldo Perdomo hit his first career grand slam and
first homer of the season off reliever Jared Solomon in the
eighth as part of a five-run frame to make it 9-5.
Rays 4, Cardinals 2 (10)
Taylor Walls stroked a three-run, walk-off homer with two outs
in the 10th inning as Tampa Bay beat St. Louis in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
Manuel Margot doubled and scored a run, and Ji-Man Choi doubled
as the Rays broke a two-game skid with just three hits -- all
for extra bases. In his seventh start since being moved from the
bullpen, Jeffrey Springs posted six scoreless innings, allowing
six hits and two walks. The left-hander struck out five over a
career-high 92 pitches.
Albert Pujols recorded his 3,320th career hit with a
fourth-inning single, moving him past Paul Molitor and into
ninth place in all-time base hits.
Padres 7, Mets 0
Yu Darvish blanked weakened New York, allowing just two hits
over seven innings and the host San Diego rolled to its fourth
win in five games.
Darvish (5-3) had a no-hitter going until Mark Canha singled
with two out in the sixth. The San Diego right-hander opened the
game by hitting three of the first five Mets he faced. He then
retired 14 straight hitters before Canha's single.
The Mets lost Pete Alonso and Starling Marte to injuries in the
game's first two innings. Alonso left the game in the second
inning after being hit on the right hand by a Darvish pitch, and
Marte exited after the top of the second because of left quad
tightness.
