[September 03, 2022]
Manny Machado and Brandon Drury hit
two-run homers in the third inning and Jurickson Profar added a
three-run shot in the sixth as the visiting San Diego Padres opened
a three-game series with a 7-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Friday.
San Diego starter Yu Darvish shut out Los Angeles for seven innings
and reached the 3,000-strikeout milestone in his professional career
that spans 17 seasons in Japan and the United States.
Darvish (12-7) held the Dodgers to two hits, two walks and two hit
batters while fanning nine.
The Padres earned their fourth straight win and moved into second
place in the National League wild-card race, a half-game ahead of
the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers took a third straight loss,
one short of their worst skid of the season.
Cardinals 8, Cubs 0
Tommy Edman smacked a three-run homer and Lars Nootbaar hit a
two-run blast as host St. Louis blanked Chicago.
Jordan Montgomery (8-3) threw six-plus scoreless innings for the
Cardinals, who won for the fifth time in six games. Montgomery
allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out four.
Cubs starting pitcher Adrian Sampson (1-5) gave up two runs on four
hits and two walks in five innings. He fanned four.

Giants 13, Phillies 1
Joc Pederson drove in five runs with a single, a three-run homer and
a bases-loaded walk, leading an 11-run onslaught in the first three
innings that propelled host San Francisco's shellacking of
Philadelphia.
Wilmer Flores scored three times and Alex Cobb (5-6) threw seven
shutout innings, helping the Giants emphatically snap a seven-game
losing streak.
A fourth loss in their past five games, coupled with a San Diego
road win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, dropped the Phillies out of
the second National League wild-card spot, a half-game behind the
Padres.
Reds 3, Rockies 2
Jonathan India recorded the first walk-off hit of his career and
Spencer Steer homered and scored the winning run in his major league
debut as Cincinnati edged visiting Colorado.
India's third hit of the night was a high chopper over the pitcher's
mound with one out in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Alex
Colome (2-7), after Steer led off the inning with a double. Center
fielder Garrett Hampson was brought in as a fifth infielder and had
no play at the plate as the winning run scored.
Alexis Diaz (5-2) pitched around a one-out single to earn the win,
Cincinnati's fourth in 11 games. The Rockies fell to a major
league-worst 20-45 on the road this season and 2-6 on their current,
season-long 10-game road trip.
Diamondbacks 2, Brewers 1
Emmanuel Rivera went 3-for-3 with an RBI, and five relievers
combined for 4 1/3 scoreless innings as Arizona edged Milwaukee in
Phoenix.
Starter Zach Davies, Kyle Nelson (2-0), Reyes Moronta, Kevin Ginkel
and Joe Mantiply preceded Ian Kennedy, who worked around a one-out
single in the ninth for his 10th save in 14 chances. The
Diamondbacks have won seven of their last eight and are 23-16 since
the All-Star break.
Willy Adames and Keston Hiura had two hits apiece for Milwaukee,
which outhit Arizona 9-6 but went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring
position while leaving 11 runners on base.

White Sox 4, Twins 3
Jose Abreu drove home the winning run on a forceout with the bases
loaded in the ninth inning and Yasmani Grandal homered to boost host
Chicago past Minnesota.
Abreu appeared to win the game moments before, when he was initially
ruled to have been hit by a Jorge Lopez pitch, was overturned on a
Minnesota challenge. Both benches cleared briefly before that when
Lopez hit Andrew Vaughn with a pitch to load the bases. White Sox
acting manager Miguel Cairo was ejected.
Liam Hendriks (3-3) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory, the
White Sox's third in a row. Nick Gordon drove in three runs for the
Twins, who took their second loss in a row.
Mariners 6, Guardians 1
Cal Raleigh homered twice and drove in four runs to help visiting
Seattle to a win against Cleveland in the opener of their three-game
series.
Mitch Haniger had two doubles and the other two RBIs for the
Mariners, who have won five in a row.
Seattle starter Luis Castillo (6-5) allowed five hits in six shutout
innings. He struck out four and walked one while improving to 2-1
with a 2.39 ERA in six starts since he was acquired from the
Cincinnati Reds.
Blue Jays 4, Pirates 0
Bo Bichette homered, Santiago Espinal hit a two-run double and
right-hander Alek Manoah pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings as visiting
Toronto topped Pittsburgh.
Manoah (13-7) allowed five hits, with six strikeouts and one walk.
He combined with Tim Mayza and Adam Cimber for a five-hit shutout.
Pittsburgh starter Johan Oviedo pitched three scoreless innings,
allowing two hits and walking three, with four strikeouts. Oviedo,
who was acquired from St. Louis in July, made his Pirates debut.
