Twins 3, Guardians 0
Joe Ryan scattered three hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings as
visiting Minnesota snapped an eight-game losing streak to
Cleveland.
Ryan (12-8), who was pulled after throwing seven no-hit innings
in his previous start against Kansas City, picked up where he
left off before Tyler Freeman had a single in the fifth. That
ended a streak of 12 no-hit innings for Ryan dating back to his
Sept. 7 start at the New York Yankees when he retired the final
two batters he faced.
Ryan walked two and struck out five on Sunday while throwing 95

Rockies 3, Cubs 0
Connor Joe homered and Randal Grichuk drove in two runs as host
Colorado beat Chicago for a rare road series victory.

season. Three relievers followed Feltner before Daniel Bard
retired the Cubs in order in the ninth for his 32nd save in 35
opportunities.

winning streak.

Yu Darvish retired the first 13 hitters he faced and Manny
Machado hit a two-run home run in the first inning as visiting
San Diego scored a win over Arizona.
The Padres finished the season series with three straight wins
against the Diamondbacks and a 14-5 mark against Arizona
(68-78). The win also moved the Padres past Philadelphia into
second in the National League Wild Card race and widened their
edge over Milwaukee to 2 1/2 games.
Darvish improved to 15-7. He allowed one hit and one walk with
eight strikeouts over six innings. Robert Suarez and Adrian
Morejon finished the game.
Angels 5, Mariners 1
Luis Rengifo homered twice and Reid Detmers threw six effective
innings to lead host Los Angeles to a victory over Seattle.
The Angels also got an impressive performance from shortstop
Livan Soto, just called up Saturday from Double-A Rocket City
(Ala.). Soto got his first career major league hit, a single in
the third, then hit his first home run, a two-run blast just
inside the right field foul pole in the seventh.
Rengifo got the Angels going immediately, hitting Gonzales'
second pitch of the game for a homer. The Mariners responded
against Detmers in the second, starting a two-out rally with the
bases empty. Dylan Moore doubled and scored on a single by Adam
Frazier, tying the game at 1.
Dodgers 4, Giants 3
Mookie Betts ignited a two-run 10th inning with an RBI double
and visiting Los Angeles completed a season-series demolition of
San Francisco with a victory in a rain-delayed game.
Andrew Heaney threw four shutout innings sandwiching a 20-minute
delay and Justin Bruihl escaped a bases-loaded jam in the last
of the 10th for his first career save, sending the Dodgers to a
3-0 series sweep and a 15th win in 19 meetings with the
defending National League West champions.
The Giants got within a run in their half of the 10th when
Wilmer Flores singled in automatic runner Heliot Ramos with one
out, and San Francisco later loaded the bases with two outs
against Andre Jackson. But Bruihl came on to retire LaMonte Wade
Jr. on a full count for just the Dodgers' fifth win in 13
extra-inning affairs this season. Craig Kimbrel (5-6), who
pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth, was credited with the win.
