Chicago Cubs to one run over 5 2/3 innings of the Reds' 6-5 road
victory Monday night.

Central-leading Reds, who scored three times each in the second and
third innings, then hung on for their ninth win in 12 games.
On the mound, Buck Farmer (3-4), Fernando Cruz, Alex Young, Lucas
Sims, Ian Gibaut and Alexis Diaz (32nd save) allowed only

fourth and Bryson Stott lofted a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the
seventh for the Phillies.
Jorge Soler gave Miami a 2-0 lead in the first inning with his 25th
homer, but the Marlins couldn't overcome the 10 walks allowed by
their pitchers. Tanner Scott (4-4) took the loss.

Matt Olson bashed his National League-leading 36th
homer for the Braves, who had won six of their previous nine games.
Astros 7, Guardians 3
Rookie J.P. France continued his stellar stretch and Yordan Alvarez
delivered a timely three-run home run as host Houston topped
Cleveland.
The Astros closed to within a half-game of the idle Texas Rangers
atop the American League West by rallying from an early two-run
deficit. France (7-3) allowed two runs on seven hits in seven
innings for his ninth quality start in his past 10 outings.
Noah Syndergaard made his Guardians debut and carried a shutout into
the sixth. He left the game after being hit in the leg by a
comebacker. Bo Naylor hit an RBI double for Cleveland.
Mariners 6, Red Sox 2
Cal Raleigh hit two solo home runs as Seattle defeated visiting
Boston in the opener of a three-game series.
Julio Rodriguez added a two-run single in a four-run eighth inning
as the Mariners pulled away. Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 for the Red
Sox, who took their third consecutive defeat.
Raleigh hit both his homers off right-hander Nick Pivetta (7-6), who
was making his first start since beating the Mariners 9-4 on May 16
in Boston. Pivetta gave up three runs on five hits in 7 1/3 innings,
with no walks and 10 strikeouts.
Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3 (11 innings)
Ketel Marte doubled home automatic runner Geraldo Perdomo leading
off the 11th inning, giving visiting Arizona a victory over San
Francisco in the opener of a key four-game series in the National
League West.
Kevin Ginkel (5-0), who allowed an unearned run in the bottom of the
10th to send the game to one more inning, was credited with the win.
Taylor Rogers (5-4) took the loss.
Each team scored a run in the 10th, with the Diamondbacks taking a
3-2 lead on an RBI single by Emmanuel Rivera before the Giants,
seeking a third straight walk-off win, drew even when automatic
runner Brandon Crawford raced home on a Ginkel wild pitch.
Rockies 4, Padres 3 (10 innings)
Ryan McMahon hit a game-ending sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and
also homered among his two hits as Colorado beat San Diego in
Denver.
Elehuris Montero had two hits for Colorado, and Brad Hand (3-1) got
the win in relief. The Rockies won their second straight game after
a four-game skid. The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 20
minutes due to a storm that moved through the Denver area.
San Diego's Trent Grisham belted a two-out solo homer to tie the
game in the ninth inning. Juan Soto and Matthew Batten had three
hits apiece and Jake Cronenworth added two hits for the Padres, who
had their three-game winning streak snapped.
