The Twins scored three in the top of the 10th, then got the
first out in the bottom of the 10th with the automatic runner at
second base. A walk to Steven Kwan (3-for-4) and a wild pitch
put runners at the corners for Amed Rosario, who hit an RBI
double to cap a 4-for-4 night.
Jharel Cotton (2-2) replaced Emilio Pagan on the mound, and he
retired Jose Ramirez on a lineout. Kwan then scored on a passed
ball to bring the Guardians within one run. Naylor then hit an
opposite-field blast to the bleachers in left field for his
ninth homer of the season.
Guardians reliever Eli Morgan (4-2) allowed three runs in the
top of the 10th yet earned the win. Cleveland starter Cal
Quantrill pitched a career-high eight innings but left with a
no-decision. The right-hander surrendered eight hits, three runs
and no walks. He struck out three batters.
Astros 2, Mets 0
Jason Castro hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth
inning as Houston completed a two-game sweep of an interleague
set against host New York.
Castro, who entered the game hitting .095 with one RBI, belted
his first home run of the season into the right-field bleachers
against Drew Smith (1-2). New York had just one baserunner after
the first inning and has lost three straight for the first time
this season.
The game featured a dynamic pitchers' duel between Houston's
Justin Verlander (10-3) and New York's Taijuan Walker. Verlander
allowed two hits over eight shutout innings in his first start
at Citi Field since 2010. Houston won four straight against the
Mets over the past eight days by a combined score of 24-6.
Marlins 4, Cardinals 3
Avisail Garcia hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning
to rally visiting Miami past St. Louis to avoid a three-game
sweep.
Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (8-3) threw a complete
game while allowing three runs, two earned, on seven hits. He
struck out three while walking two, throwing a season-high 117
pitches in his fourth career complete game.
Cardinals starting pitcher Andre Pallante held the Marlins to
two runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings, striking
out two. Giovanny Gallegos retired Miami in order in the eighth
inning, but Ryan Helsley (3-1) allowed Garcia's blast in the
ninth.
Dodgers 8, Rockies 4
Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Cody Bellinger hit home runs as
Los Angeles avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of Colorado
in Denver.
The Dodgers received two of their three home runs from the top
three spots in the order and got five hits from the bottom three
spots. No. 8 hitter Gavin Lux had two hits, while No. 9 hitter
Eddy Alvarez drove in two runs.
Brendan Rodgers had a home run among his three hits, and he
drove in three runs for the Rockies, who saw their four-game
home winning streak against the Dodgers come to an end. Colorado
leads the season series 4-2 with its first visit to Los Angeles
coming up next week.
Angels 4, White Sox 1
Shohei Ohtani threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out 11 to
lead Los Angeles to a win over Chicago in Anaheim, Calif.
Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk at the plate, but got offensive
support from Mike Trout (RBI double) and Luis Rengifo (two-run
homer) as the Angels took two of three in the series. Ohtani,
who has 24 strikeouts in his past two starts, has not allowed a
run in his past three outings, extending his scoreless-innings
streak to 21 2/3.
The White Sox finished with seven hits, four of them from Jose
Abreu. Chicago's only run of the game was unearned, as Luis
Robert reached on an eighth-inning throwing error by shortstop
Andrew Velazquez and later scored on a wild pitch by Ryan Tepera.
Brewers 5, Rays 3
Rowdy Tellez hit two home runs and Luis Urias and Jace Peterson
also went deep as Milwaukee completed a two-game series sweep of
Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, Fla.
It was Tellez's third multi-homer game of the season and second
in the last three games. Brad Boxberger (2-1) picked up the win
with one inning of scoreless relief. Josh Hader picked up his
24th save after overcoming one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Taylor Walls had two RBIs, Wander Franco had an RBI double and
Harold Ramirez and Francisco Mejia each had two hits for Tampa
Bay. Calvin Faucher (1-2) took the loss.
Yankees 5, Athletics 3
Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton homered in the same game for
the ninth time this season and New York completed a sweep of
visiting Oakland.
Judge hit his majors-best 29th homer two batters into the home
half of the first when he lifted a full-count sinker to left
field. After Judge's 429-foot drive, Stanton hit his 19th homer
with two outs in the third when he sent Irvin's 2-2 changeup
into the right-field seats. New York's Jameson Taillon (9-1)
survived a rocky start and allowed three runs on seven hits in
five innings for his ninth straight win.
Oakland dropped to 5-20 this month and did all of its scoring in
the opening inning as it was swept for the eighth time this
year. Stephen Piscotty hit a two-run double and scored on a
single by Elvis Andrus, who drove in five of Oakland's nine runs
in the series.
Pirates 8, Nationals 7
Bryan Reynolds hit three homers and drove in six runs, and
Pittsburgh rallied past host Washington to snap a five-game
losing streak.
Reynolds' final homer was a three-run shot in the seventh inning
to put Pittsburgh ahead to stay. Daniel Vogelbach also homered
for the Pirates, who averted the three-game sweep. Chase De Jong
(3-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Yerry De Los
Santos pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his first major league save.
Yadiel Hernandez went deep for Washington and Josh Bell reached
base five times with two doubles, a single and two walks for the
Nationals, who had won three straight. The Nats out-hit
Pittsburgh 16-9 but left 10 on base.
Padres 4, Diamondbacks 0
Mike Clevinger allowed one hit in six shutout innings and Jake
Cronenworth snapped an 0-for-26 drought with three straight hits
-- driving in two runs and scoring a third -- as visiting San
Diego blanked Arizona to gain a split of the two-game series in
Phoenix.
The only hit off Clevinger was a lead-off single by Geraldo
Perdomo in the third. Clevinger (2-0) also issued a walk and
struck out six in his longest outing of the season. It marked
the first time since the end of the 2020 season that Clevinger
worked at least six scoreless innings in a game.
Madison Bumgarner (3-8) gave up one run on four hits and three
walks with four strikeouts in five innings for the Diamondbacks
to take the loss. Bumgarner has yet to win a game against the
Padres in his three seasons with the Diamondbacks, going 0-5 in
eight starts.
Mariners 9, Orioles 3
Rookie Julio Rodriguez homered and drove in three runs as
Seattle defeated visiting Baltimore, as the Mariners won for the
seventh time in their past nine games.
Mariners right-hander Chris Flexen (4-8), who got some rare run
support, allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings with
two walks and three strikeouts. The Nos. 7-9 batters in
Seattle's lineup -- Abraham Toro, Adam Frazier and Sam Haggerty
-- combined to go 6-for-11 and each scored twice.
Ryan Mountcastle hit a run-scoring double in the fourth for the
Orioles, and Trey Mancini smacked a two-run double in the fifth.
Cubs 8, Reds 3
Willson Contreras and rookie Christopher Morel each clubbed
two-run homers, and Nico Hoerner had a two-run double as Chicago
beat visiting Cincinnati.
Contreras had three hits on the night and Justin Steele (3-5)
allowed a run over five-plus innings for the Cubs, who evened
this three-game set with their third win in five games.
Chicago also snapped a three-game skid to the Reds, who got two
doubles with an RBI from Joey Votto and a late Brandon Drury
homer.
Royals 2, Rangers 1
Zack Greinke pitched six solid innings for host Kansas City as
it salvaged the final game of a three-game series with a victory
over visiting Texas.
Greinke (2-4) made his 500th career start, the 48th pitcher in
Major League Baseball history to reach that milestone. He is the
only active pitcher to do so. He allowed one run on four hits
while walking one and fanning three. The right-hander worked
around plenty of traffic, as he only had two 1-2-3 innings.
The Royals got a run in the first on an RBI single by MJ
Melendez before Leody Taveras tied things in the fifth with a
solo home run. Kyle Isbel hit his second home run of the season
-- his second in as many games -- to provide the winning run.
Tigers 3, Giants 2
Eric Haase belted a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning
as visiting Detroit beat San Francisco to salvage a split of a
two-game interleague series.
In wrapping up a 3-5 trip that began with three straight losses,
the Tigers benefited from the 1,829th career RBI from Miguel
Cabrera and five strong innings from starter Rony Garcia (3-2).
San Francisco's only run against Garcia came on Evan Longoria's
eighth homer of the season in the first inning.
Braves 4, Phillies 1
Adam Duvall homered and drove in two runs to lift Atlanta past
host Philadelphia.
Matt Olson added two doubles for the Braves, who have won the
first two games of the three-game series. Atlanta's William
Contreras contributed two hits and an RBI. Braves starter Kyle
Wright (9-4) threw seven strong innings, giving up three hits
and one run.
Rhys Hoskins hit a solo home run and doubled for the Phillies,
who managed only four hits total. Philadelphia starter Ranger
Suarez (6-5) tossed 6 2/3 innings and allowed six hits and four
runs to go along with seven strikeouts and two walks.
Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 5 (10 innings)
Alex Verdugo keyed a three-run 10th inning with a two-run double
after earlier hitting a two-run homer as visiting Boston
defeated Toronto.
Toronto's David Phelps (0-2) walked Rob Refsnyder to open the
10th with Jackie Bradley Jr. as the automatic runner at second.
Rafael Devers walked to load the bases. J.D. Martinez was hit by
a pitch to force in a run. Tim Mayza replaced Phelps and induced
a 3-2-3 double-play grounder from Xander Bogaerts. Verdugo
followed with a two-run double.
Toronto scored twice in the bottom of the 10th, and George
Springer hit a solo home run in the fifth for the Blue Jays.
Starter Alek Manoah allowed three runs (two earned), six hits
and one walk while striking out six in seven innings.
