Isaac Paredes added a solo home run and had two RBIs for the
Rays, who had lost five of their previous six games. Manuel
Margot contributed a three-run double in a six-run ninth on
Roberto Clemente Day.
All nine batters in the Rays' starting lineup were Latin
American, a first in Major League Baseball history. Three of
those players were Dominican, and two apiece were born in Cuba
and Venezuela. Colombia and Mexico were also represented in the
lineup.
Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (12-5) came off the injured
list and allowed three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in
five innings.
Diamondbacks 4, Padres 0
Arizona right-hander Drey Jameson held San Diego to two hits
over seven scoreless innings in his major league debut, leading
Arizona to a victory in Phoenix.
Ketel Marte, Emmanuel Rivera and Carson Kelly hit solo homers
for the Diamondbacks. The 6-foot, 165-pound Jameson issued one
walk and struck out five. He finished his outing by retiring the
last nine Padres he faced.
The Padres (78-66) took a second straight loss, reducing their
lead over the idle Milwaukee Brewers (76-67) to 1 1/2 games in
the race for the third National League wild-card berth. San
Diego finished with three hits in its 10th shutout loss of the
season. The Padres have scored just five runs in their past four
games.
Reds 3, Cardinals 2
Nick Senzel and Aristides Aquino hit home runs to power visiting
Cincinnati past St. Louis, ending a six-game losing streak.
Cincinnati starting pitcher Chase Anderson (1-3) allowed one run
on one hit and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.
Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (11-12) allowed three
runs on five hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked
three.
Mets 7, Pirates 1
Carlos Carrasco struck out a season-high 11 batters over six
innings and New York designated hitters accounted for four RBIs
in a win over visiting Pittsburgh.
Daniel Vogelbach drove in three runs and Francisco Lindor hit a
two-run homer as the Mets (90-55) snapped a three-game losing
streak -- tied for their longest of the season -- and increased
their lead to one game over the idle Atlanta Braves in the
National League East.
The loss ended a four-game winning streak -- tied for their
highest of the season -- for the Pirates, who were trying to win
five straight for the first time since April 2019.
Twins 3, Royals 2
Carlos Correa and Nick Gordon homered and five Minnesota
relievers combined to pitch five shutout innings as the Twins
completed a three-game series sweep of Kansas City in
Minneapolis.
It was the third time this season that Minnesota swept the
Royals in a series. The Twins, who open a five-game series at
American League Central leader Cleveland on Friday night, closed
within four games of the Guardians.
Trevor Megill (4-3), the first of five Minnesota relievers,
picked up the win with a hitless fifth inning. Jhoan Duran
bounced back from allowing back-to-back singles to begin the
ninth to earn his seventh save.
Astros 5, A's 2
Aledmys Diaz smacked a tiebreaking two-run home run in the
seventh inning and Lance McCullers Jr. recorded his highest
regular-season strikeout total in more than four years as host
Houston downed Oakland.
The Astros extended their winning streak to five games and have
won 13 of their past 16. The victory over Oakland in the opener
of a four-game set clinched the season series for Houston, which
has secured season-series victories over each of its American
League West rivals.
McCullers did not factor into the decision but was excellent
nonetheless while fanning 11. He allowed two hits, issued four
walks and gave up two runs over six strong innings. Seth
Martinez (1-1) got his first career victory with one scoreless
inning of relief.
Marlins 5, Phillies 3
Jordan Groshans hit his first major league homer and Bryan De La
Cruz added a three-run shot and a sacrifice fly as host Miami
knocked off Philadelphia.
Miami, which snapped a two-game skid, got a quality start from
Pablo Lopez (9-10). He allowed four hits, one walk and two runs
in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five.
The Phillies had their five-game winning streak snapped, getting
only a solo homer by Kyle Schwarber and two RBIs from Brandon
Marsh. Schwarber leads the National League with 38 dingers.
Marsh went 4-for-4, falling a homer short of the cycle.
White Sox 8, Guardians 2
Yoan Moncada had four hits, including one of five home runs by
visiting Chicago, helping the club to a win over Cleveland in a
makeup game.
Jose Abreu had three hits and two RBIs. Gavin Sheets, Andrew
Vaughn, Yasmani Grandal and Elvis Andrus also homered for the
White Sox, who pulled within three games of the first-place
Guardians in the American League Central. Lance Lynn allowed two
runs and six hits over 6 1/3 innings. Lynn (7-5) struck out six
and walked one to improve to 3-0 with a 0.93 ERA in three starts
this month.
Myles Straw had three hits and scored a run, and Amed Rosario
and Will Benson each had two hits and an RBI for the Guardians.
Hunter Gaddis (0-2) allowed all five home runs in his second MLB
start.
