lead after the A's stopped scoring after the fourth inning, helping
the hosts beat Boston for the second time in as many days following
an eight-game losing streak.

after Jon Gray exited early with an injury and Texas went on to a
victory over visiting Tampa Bay.
The Rangers completed the three-game sweep. The American League
East-leading Rays were swept for just the second time this season.
The AL West-leading Rangers are off to a 6-0 start following the
All-Star break. Gray had his start cut short when he took a 112 mph

and two walks. The Reds mustered just four hits en route to posting
their first win since an 8-5 triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers on
July 8.
Blake Sabol belted an opposite-field homer to lead off the seventh
inning and recorded two of the six hits for the Giants, who saw

was saddled with the loss.

Nico Hoerner's first career grand slam highlighted a five-run eighth
inning and Chicago overcame blowing a two-run lead in the top of the
frame to beat visiting Washington.
Mike Tauchman homered for one of his three hits and had three RBIs,
and Yan Gomes, on his 36th birthday, gave the Cubs a 4-3 lead with
his sacrifice fly against Mason Thompson (3-3) in the eighth. Then
with two out, Hoerner (two hits) sent a 1-1 fastball from Cory
Abbott well into the left field bleachers to break the contest open
and help Chicago to a second straight victory -- and get its first
home series win since June 16-18.

one strikeout in five innings for Washington, which is 1-4 since
winning three straight.

half of the season.

pitched 6 1/3 strong innings for the Twins, who have won five of six
games since the All-Star break. Twins reliever Emilio Pagan (4-1)
pitched a scoreless inning for the victory, and Jhoan Duran created
but escaped a ninth-inning jam for his 16th save.
Tom Murphy and Eugenio Suarez homered for the Mariners, who dropped
to 2-4 on their 10-game homestand. Seattle will look to win on
Thursday to gain a split of the four-game series. Reliever Andres
Munoz (2-3) took the loss after surrendering the lead an inning
after the Mariners tied it.
