It was Ohtani's 30th home run of the season, making him the

the mound).
Angels starter Patrick Sandoval (5-9) gave up two runs on just
three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out seven
while making 82 pitches. Jose Quijada (eighth inning) and Jimmy

Goldschmidt with the go-ahead run and Lars Nootbaar followed two
batters later with a two-run homer, lifting visiting St. Louis
past Cincinnati in 13 innings.

Cardinals matched their second-best August in history, finishing
the month 22-7.
Chase Anderson (0-2), who made his Reds debut as a starter in
the series opener on Monday, was again victimized by a tape
measure homer. Nootbaar's bomb landed on top of the Cardinals'
bullpen in right and put St. Louis ahead 5-2.

Brandon Marsh tripled among his three hits and drove in three
runs as Philadelphia established season bests for runs and hits
while steamrolling Arizona in Phoenix.

three-game series. Philadelphia's Bailey Falter (3-3) allowed

Mets 2, Dodgers 1 (10 innings)
Center fielder Brandon Nimmo robbed Justin Turner of a home run
in the seventh inning to preserve the lead for Jacob deGrom, who
tossed seven strong innings as host New York edged Los Angeles.
Starling Marte's two-run homer in the third off Tyler Anderson
(13-3) provided all of the offense for the Mets, who have split
the first two games of the three-game series with their fellow
National League division leaders.
The loss was just the sixth in 28 games this month for the
Dodgers. Anderson allowed two runs on eight hits and no walks
while striking out three over seven innings.

took advantage of some shoddy defense and nine walks from
Pittsburgh pitchers to beat the visiting Pirates.
