The Mariners led 4-0 through 1 1/2 innings, but Story's homers
in the second and third innings helped the hosts tie the score.
Boston added two runs in the sixth and three in both the seventh
and eighth.
Story capped his second career three-homer and seven-RBI games
with a three-run shot to left in the eighth. J.D. Martinez
(4-for-5, three runs) and Alex Verdugo (3-for-5, four runs) also
had big nights for the Red Sox, who logged season highs in runs
and hits (16) on their way to a second straight win.
Julio Rodriguez (3-for-5) and Dylan Moore (four RBIs) both
homered and Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-5 with two runs for
Seattle. George Kirby (0-1) took the loss, allowing five runs on
eight hits in five-plus innings.
Mets 7, Cardinals 6 (10)
Pete Alonso belted a walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning
for host New York, which posted a win over St. Louis hours after
learning Max Scherzer would miss six-to-eight weeks with a left
oblique injury.
The Mets took three of four from the Cardinals but lost Scherzer,
who exited Wednesday's game in the sixth inning after feeling a
"zing" in his left oblique. An MRI administered Thursday
revealed a "moderate to high grade" strain. Alonso had three
hits and three RBIs, and Jeff McNeil also knocked home three
runs.
Colin Holderman (1-0) earned his first big league win despite
giving up the go-ahead unearned run in the top of the 10th
inning.
The Cardinals rallied from a pair of two-run deficits and tied
the game in the ninth inning before going ahead in the 10th on a
run-scoring double play by Albert Pujols. Paul Goldschmidt
blasted his sixth homer of the season among his three hits and
four RBIs, and Juan Yepez also went deep.
Orioles 9, Yankees 6
Anthony Santander hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the
ninth to lift Baltimore to a win over visiting New York and end
a six-game losing streak.
Santander, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three runs scored
and a walk, hit the first walk-off home run of his career when
he drove a cutter from Yankee reliever Lucas Luetge (1-1) down
the left field line with one out.
Santander's 376-foot blast came after Austin Hays reached on an
error and Trey Mancini singled to center. Reliever Felix
Bautista (1-1) picked up the win for the Orioles, who had seen
Jorge Lopez blow a save opportunity in the top of the inning.
Padres 2, Phillies 0
Yu Darvish tossed seven strong innings and Robinson Cano had an
RBI single to fuel visiting San Diego to victory over
Philadelphia.
Darvish (4-1) allowed six hits, all singles, to go along with
five strikeouts and no walks. Taylor Rogers recorded the final
four outs to earn his 15th save in 16 opportunities. Manny
Machado added two of the 10 hits for the Padres, who shut out
the Phillies for the second time in the three-game series.
Rhys Hoskins had two hits for Philadelphia, which was shut out
for the fifth time this season. Both teams combined for 18 hits,
with all of them being singles. Bryce Harper was held out of the
lineup for a fourth straight game after receiving a PRP
injection in his right elbow on Sunday.
Reds 4, Guardians 2
Cincinnati scored three runs in the eighth inning for a victory
over host Cleveland.
The Reds swept the two-game series and have won eight of their
past 12 games after a 3-22 start as the Guardians have lost five
of six. Tyler Naquin had a pair of hits and a home run for
Cincinnati.
The Reds jumped all over reliever Trevor Stephan (2-1), who was
rocked for three runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning
in the eighth. It ruined an outstanding start by right-hander
Cal Quantrill, who surrendered one run on five hits in seven
innings. He didn't walk a batter and struck out five.
White Sox 7, Royals 4
Luis Robert was 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs as Chicago
defeated host Kansas City, taking the rare five-game series
three games to two.
Robert's homer in the eighth gave the White Sox their largest
lead, capping six straight runs for the Sox. The White Sox
scored five of their seven runs on hits with an 0-2 or 1-2
count. Bennett Sousa (2-0) earned the win in relief. Liam
Hendriks earned his 12th save, saving all three White Sox wins
in the series.
Gabe Speier (0-1) took the loss for Kansas City, allowing a run
and three hits in just one-third of an inning. The White Sox
scored at least five runs for just the ninth time in their 38
games, but they could have had more. They left eight runners on
base in the first four innings, a total of 11 in the game.
Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 1
Daulton Varsho's homer highlighted a three-run fourth inning,
while Zac Gallen yielded a run and pitched out of trouble in the
fifth, as visiting Arizona snapped its six-game losing streak
with a win over Chicago.
Josh Rojas and David Peralta (two hits) each delivered RBI
singles for the Diamondbacks, who needed only one inning of
offense to halt its longest skid of the season. Gallen (3-0)
retired the first eight Cubs, but gave up an RBI double to Yan
Gomes (two hits) in the fourth for one of the two hits he
allowed.
The Cubs posted just four hits, stranded nine and were 1-for-7
with runners in scoring position.
Astros 5, Rangers 1
Framber Valdez recorded his fifth consecutive quality start and
Houston extended a pair of winning streaks with a victory over
visiting Texas.
Valdez (3-2) allowed one run on six hits and two walks with
seven strikeouts over seven innings, lowering his ERA to 2.68.
Jose Altuve went 4-for-5 with two doubles for the Astros, who
have alternated wins and losses over their past seven games.
Martin Maldonado put the game away with a three-run double in
the eighth inning.
Rangers right-hander Glenn Otto (1-2) was otherwise effective in
his six-inning outing, limiting the Astros to two runs on seven
hits and three walks with two strikeouts.
