Playing in Oakland for the first time since getting traded in
March, Olson hit a three-run homer in the third and the Braves
led almost the whole way. Atlanta also scored three times in the
first and fifth innings en route to a sixth consecutive victory.
Oakland fell for a fifth time in its past six games despite
hitting three homers -- back-to-back shots by Sean Murphy and
Seth Brown in a four-run third and a three-run blast by pinch
hitter Chad Pinder that drew the hosts to a 9-9 tie in the fifth
after they had trailed by as many as five runs.
Jesse Chavez (3-1), Raisel Iglesias, A.J. Minter and Kenley
Jansen held the A's scoreless over the final four innings on
just one hit. Jansen worked a 1-2-3 ninth with two strikeouts
for his 32nd save.
Padres 6, Diamondbacks 5
Jorge Alfaro delivered a walk-off hit as San Diego rallied from
a five-run deficit to beat Arizona.
Alfaro hit a two-run single off Ian Kennedy (4-7) with two outs
in the ninth as the Padres snapped a three-game losing streak.
The Padres got home runs from Jake Cronenworth, Ha-Seong Kim and
Josh Bell.
Arizona's Josh Rojas, Daulton Varsho and Christian Walker hit
solo homers. Merrill Kelly gave up four runs on three hits in
seven innings.
Angels 5, Tigers 4 (10 innings)
Magneuris Sierra laid down a perfect safety-squeeze bunt to
score Andrew Velazquez from third base in the 10th inning,
lifting Los Angeles over Detroit in Anaheim, Calif.
The Tigers took a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th on an RBI
single by Javier Baez, who drove in three runs on the night.
However, Baez's throwing error in the bottom of the 10th allowed
the Angels' Taylor Ward to tie the game at 4-4. Velazquez took
third on a wild pitch and scored on Sierra's bunt single.
Mike Trout, Mike Ford and Jo Adell homered for the Angels. Trout
has gone deep in three consecutive games and has seven homers in
his past 13 games.
Rockies 10, Brewers 7 (10 innings)
Randal Grichuk hit two homers, including a three-run, walk-off
shot in the 10th inning, and Colorado rallied to beat Milwaukee
in Denver.
Elehuris Montero and Yonathan Daza homered and had two hits each
while Alan Trejo added three hits for Colorado. Daniel Bard
(4-4) pitched two innings and got the win despite giving up a
run in the top of the 10th.
Christian Yelich homered and singled, Hunter Renfroe also went
deep and Willy Adames had three hits and two RBIs for the
Brewers, who lost for the fourth time in six games.
Mariners 3, White Sox 0
Logan Gilbert pitched six scoreless innings and matched his
career high with nine strikeouts as Seattle defeated visiting
Chicago.
Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth
inning off Reynaldo Lopez to provide some insurance for the
Mariners, who won for the eighth time in nine games. Gilbert
(12-5) gave up five hits and didn't walk a batter.
The White Sox, without manager Tony La Russa while on an
indefinite leave because of health issues, lost for just the
second time in the past seven games. Johnny Cueto (7-7) allowed
one run on five hits in six-plus innings.

Max Muncy homered twice and Joey Gallo hit a three-run shot to
lead Los Angeles to a victory over visiting San Francisco.
Muncy went 3-for-4 and scored three times and Tyler Anderson
pitched seven innings of three-run ball as the Dodgers beat the
Giants for the ninth time in the past 10 meetings.
Lewis Brinson and Brandon Crawford homered for the Giants, who
had a four-game winning streak halted.
Orioles 9, Blue Jays 6
Adley Rutschman's two-run double headlined a five-run third
inning as Baltimore snapped a three-game losing streak with a
win over visiting Toronto.
Baltimore's Ryan Mountcastle drove in three runs, and Anthony
Santander knocked in two.
Bo Bichette homered for the fourth time in two games and Matt
Chapman had two run-scoring hits for the Blue Jays. Bichette and
Alejandro Kirk both went 4-for-5 for Toronto, which had a
five-game winning streak end.

past visiting Washington.

on seven hits in five innings.
Rangers 4, Astros 3
Texas cashed in on a couple of breaks, including Corey Seager
scoring on Framber Valdez's wild pitch in the seventh inning,
while edging host Houston.
Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc stranded Jose Altuve at second
base in the ninth inning to record his third save. Taylor Hearn
(6-7) picked up the win with two scoreless innings out of the
bullpen.
Although Valdez (14-5) took the loss, the left-hander did extend
his quality start streak to 23 games, one shy of Jacob deGrom's
major league record within a single season. deGrom set the mark
with the New York Mets in 2018.
Phillies 3, Marlins 2
Jean Segura hit a walk-off single in the ninth inning as host
Philadelphia handed Miami an eighth straight loss.
Edmundo Sosa hit a solo home run and a double and Alec Bohm had
a sacrifice fly and an RBI for the Phillies, who snapped a

-- for five runs on nine hits in four innings.
Pirates 8, Mets 2
Rodolfo Castro and Oneil Cruz homered to help Pittsburgh snap a

Delay each added an RBI single for the Pirates. Pittsburgh
starter Mitch Keller (5-10) pitched six shutout innings.
Brandon Nimmo homered for the Mets, who have lost three
straight. Mets right fielder Starling Marte left in the second,
an inning after he got hit by a pitch on the right hand. New
York starter Taijuan Walker (10-4) gave up four runs in five
innings.
Guardians 4, Royals 1
Shane Bieber produced another stellar outing, firing eight
innings of one-run ball as Cleveland defeated host Kansas City.
Bieber (9-8) allowed a solo home run to Salvador Perez but only
three other hits and one walk while striking out seven. He has a
1.79 ERA in his past eight starts, with 61 strikeouts and eight
walks in 55 1/3 innings.
James Karinchak fanned two in a perfect ninth inning for his
first save. Cleveland's Jose Ramirez hit a two-run single. The

for the sixth straight season.

sixth and Hayden Wesneski threw five scoreless innings of relief
in his major league debut as Chicago snapped a three-game skid
