Judge's blast to left came on a full count against Tim Mayza
(8-1) with no outs in the seventh inning and Aaron Hicks at
first after a single.
Judge, whose homer snapped a 3-3 tie, matched the AL mark set by
Roger Maris as a Yankee in 1961. He finished the night 1-for-4
with a walk, ending a seven-game stretch in which he went
homerless after hitting No. 60.
Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (13-7) allowed three runs on
three hits in 6 1/3 innings. Danny Jansen hit a solo home run
for the Blue Jays.
Brewers 5, Cardinals 1
Brandon Woodruff tossed six scoreless innings and Devin Williams
worked out of two late-inning jams as Milwaukee moved within a
half-game of the final National League wild-card spot with a win
over visiting St. Louis.
Milwaukee closed within a half-game of Philadelphia for the
third wild card. Philadelphia holds the head-to-head tiebreaker
against the Brewers. Woodruff (13-4) scattered five hits while
striking out 10 and walking one. It was his fourth consecutive
start with at least 10 strikeouts.
After the Cardinals scored a run and put runners on second and
third with one out in the seventh, Williams entered,
intentionally walked Lars Nootbaar then got Juan Yepez on an
inning-ending, double-play bouncer to short. In the eighth, the
Cardinals got runners on first and third with one out, but
Williams struck out Knizner and Ben DeLuzio. Brad Boxberger
finished with a perfect ninth.
Guardians 2, Rays 1
Pinch hitter Amed Rosario lined a game-winning single to right
field in the 10th inning as Cleveland beat visiting Tampa Bay.
Gabriel Arias went deep for the first time in the majors and
Steven Kwan was 2-for-4 in support of Triston McKenzie, who
yielded just one run and three hits over a strong six-inning
start. James Karinchak (2-0) struck out the side in a perfect
10th to help Cleveland move to 13-5 in extra innings.
Tampa Bay's Ji-Man Choi was 2-for-3 with a double and scored the
Rays' only run on an RBI single by Christian Bethancourt. In a
50-pitch start to begin his 2022 season, Tyler Glasnow -- who
had Tommy John surgery in 2021 -- allowed one run on two hits in
three innings.
Mariners 3, Rangers 1
George Kirby pitched six strong innings as Seattle crept closer
to its first playoff berth since 2001 with a victory over
visiting Texas.
It was just the fourth victory in the past 12 games for the
Mariners, who increased their lead over the Baltimore Orioles to
4 1/2 games for the American League's third and final wild-card
berth. Kirby (8-4) rebounded from one of the worst starts of his
rookie season by giving up one run on five hits.
The Rangers lost for the fourth time in their past five games.
Left-hander Martin Perez (12-7) took the loss despite making a
quality start. He allowed three runs on five hits in seven
innings.
Giants 6, Rockies 3
John Brebbia ran his streak of consecutive scoreless starts to
nine, Joc Pederson tripled home two runs and San Francisco beat
visiting Colorado for a seventh straight time.
Brebbia combined with Sean Hjelle (1-2), Shelby Miller, Tyler
Rogers and Yunior Marte on a four-hitter. Brebbia has pitched a
scoreless first in all nine of his starts this year, matching
the record set by the Tampa Bay Rays' Ryne Stanek in 2018 and
tied by the New York Yankees' Chad Green in 2019 for the most
consecutive scoreless starts in a single season.
Rockies starter Jose Urena (3-8) gave up three runs, two earned,
in five innings.
Angels 4, Athletics 1
Mike Trout and Taylor Ward homered and Michael Lorenzen threw
five effective innings to lead Los Angeles past visiting Oakland
in Anaheim, Calif.
Trout's homer leading off the fourth inning, his 38th of the
season, sparked a three-run rally in support of Lorenzen (8-6).
The right-hander gave up one unearned run in the first inning
and nothing else in five innings.
Oakland starter Adrian Martinez (4-6) gave up three runs on five
hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Dodgers 1, Padres 0 (10 innings)
Freddie Freeman broke up a scoreless tie with a run-scoring
single to center with one out in the 10th inning, giving
visiting Los Angeles a shutout victory over San Diego.
Freeman's career-high 192nd hit of the season, off Padres
reliever Steven Wilson (4-2), drove in automatic runner Mookie
Betts from third. Alex Vesia (5-0) earned the win after pitching
a scoreless ninth inning.
Padres starter Joe Musgrove worked five scoreless innings,
allowing four hits and four walks and fanning eight.
Twins 8, White Sox 4
Jake Cave went 3-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored and
Gio Urshela also had three hits as host Minnesota beat Chicago
to move into a tie with the White Sox for second place in the
American League Central.
Luis Arraez went 2-for-5 with an RBI to boost his average to
.313 to move into a tie for the AL batting lead with Judge. Matt
Wallner had two hits, including a double, and drove in three
runs while Jose Miranda went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored
and an RBI. It was Miranda's fourth consecutive multi-hit game.
Caleb Thielbar (4-2) retired all four batters he faced in relief
of starter Josh Winder to pick up the victory for the Twins.
Pirates 4, Reds 3 (10 innings)
Kevin Newman's two-out RBI single in the 10th inning gave host
Pittsburgh a three-game sweep over Cincinnati.
After the Reds scored three runs in the top of the ninth to tie
it, the Pirates faced Alexis Diaz (6-3) in the 10th. Pinch
runner Rodolfo Castro opened at second, and Cincinnati
intentionally walked Ben Gamel. Ke'Bryan Hayes struck out and
Jack Suwinski was out on a pop foul before Newman singled to
shallow center to drive in Castro.
That gave Newman a 10-game hitting streak and five career
walk-off hits. Oneil Cruz hit a two-run double and Miguel
Andujar added an RBI double for the Pirates. Kyle Farmer and
Jake Fraley hit back-to-back homers in the ninth, and Jose
Barrero was 3-for-4 with the only hits off Pirates starter Bryse
Wilson.
Tigers 2, Royals 1
Miguel Cabrera blasted a two-run, first-inning homer and seven
Detroit pitchers made the lead stand as the host Tigers won
their fifth straight by edging Kansas City.
Cabrera's long ball was his first since July 25 and fifth of the
season. Detroit's scheduled starter, Matt Manning, was scratched
moments before the game due to arm fatigue. Emergency starter
Will Vest gave up one run in one inning. Daniel Norris (1-4)
pitched two scoreless innings and was awarded the victory.
Kansas City starter Daniel Lynch (4-12) gave up two runs and
five hits in six innings. The Royals got a leadoff homer from MJ
Melendez off Vest, but then left 13 runners on base.
Mets 5, Marlins 4 (10 innings)
Eduardo Escobar drove in all five New York runs, ending the game
with a walk-off single in the 10th inning, as the Mets overcame
a four-run deficit to beat visiting Miami.
Escobar also hit a two-run homer in the seventh and a two-run
single in the eighth for the Mets (98-58), who took a one-game
lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East by
virtue of the Braves' 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Washington
Nationals earlier in the night. The Mets and Braves are
scheduled to begin a three-game series in Atlanta beginning
Friday, though the series may be impacted by Hurricane Ian.
With automatic runner Francisco Lindor at second, Dylan Floro
got Mark Canha to line out to right, then intentionally walked
Jeff McNeil before Escobar singled to left. Lindor beat the
throw home as Escobar, standing on first base, slammed his
helmet to the ground and pounded his chest. Teammates mobbed and
eventually held aloft Escobar.
Red Sox 3, Orioles 1
Alex Verdugo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs and Rich
Hill pitched six shutout innings as Boston downed visiting
Baltimore.
Hill (8-7) struck out nine -- his second-highest total of the
season -- and walked only one while allowing just five hits.
Matt Barnes tossed a scoreless ninth inning for his sixth save.
Robinson Chirinos hit an eighth-inning homer for the Orioles,
who have lost two straight and four of their past five games.
Dean Kremer (8-6) allowed three runs on six hits in a
five-inning start.
Nationals 3, Braves 2 (10 innings)
CJ Abrams' single scored Alex Call with the winning run and
Washington defeated visiting Atlanta.
Victor Robles bunted leading off the 10th against Jackson
Stephens (3-3). Robles was called out after a review, but Call
advanced to third on the play. Pinch hitter Cesar Hernandez
walked. Lane Thomas grounded to third for the second out, but
Abrams ended the game with a single to right.
Matt Olson hit his 30th homer of the season and added a single
for the Braves, who had won four straight. Atlanta starter Jake
Odorizzi was lifted after 3 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs --
one earned -- on four hits.
Cubs 4, Phillies 2
Christopher Morel hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the
fifth inning, and fellow rookie Hayden Wesneski allowed one run
while pitching into the sixth, as host Chicago beat
Philadelphia, which has dropped four straight.
With the game tied 1-1 and two on, Morel got enough of an Aaron
Nola pitch to line the ball into the left-field basket. Morel
ranks among the rookie leaders with 16 homers and helped his
team to a third straight win and seventh in eight games.
All four runs allowed by Nola (10-13) were earned. He also
yielded five hits and fanned eight without a walk, but his
Philadelphia teammates stranded 12 men and went 2-for-16 with
runners in scoring position. Nick Castellanos had three hits for
the Phillies, who are 0-5 vs. Chicago in 2022.
Diamondbacks 5, Astros 2 (10 innings)
Christian Walker stroked a two-run, two-out single to left field
in the 10th inning as visiting Arizona outlasted Houston.
Shortly after Daulton Varsho bounced into the go-ahead fielder's
choice, Walker plated Varsho and Jake McCarthy with his hit off
Astros reliever Bryan Abreu. McCarthy reached on the second
infield single of the 10th for Arizona, which denied the Astros
a shot at clinching home-field advantage in the American League
postseason.
Will Smith took the loss for Houston. Mark Melancon earned his
18th save for Arizona by retiring the side in order in the
bottom of the 10th.
