Pinch hitter Mike Tauchman doubled home the winning run to
cap a three-run bottom of the ninth as the host Chicago Cubs rallied
for a 5-4 walk-off victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday
in the opener of a four-game series.
Tauchman sliced a 2-2 fastball by Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley
(4-4) into the left field corner to drive in Dansby Swanson with the
winning run. Chicago trailed 4-2 entering the ninth against Helsley,
who had converted 33 of his previous 35 save tries.
Cody Bellinger cut the lead to 4-3 with one out when he lined his
11th homer of the season, a shot to left-center. Swanson later tied
the game with a double. Nate Pearson (1-1) picked up the win with
two scoreless innings of one-hit relief. Seiya Suzuki also homered
for Chicago.
Paul Goldschmidt homered, doubled and singled and scored two runs,
and Masyn Winn homered and had two hits and two RBIs for St. Louis,
which had a two-game winning streak snapped.
Royals 7, Tigers 1
Vinnie Pasquantino hit a pair of home runs and drove in four runs as
Kansas City cruised past host Detroit in the opener of a four-game
series.
Bobby Witt Jr. had a solo homer and a double for the Royals, who won
their fourth straight. Kansas City's Seth Lugo (13-5) delivered a
gem, pitching eight innings and giving up one run and four hits, all
singles. He only walked one while recording three strikeouts.
Colt Keith reached base twice and scored the lone Tigers run. Keider
Montero (1-5) lasted seven innings and gave up four runs and six
hits. Detroit has lost four straight.
Guardians 10, Orioles 3
David Fry, Bo Naylor and Jose Ramirez each homered and drove in
three runs as Cleveland topped Baltimore in the first game of the
Orioles' 10-game road trip.
Ben Lively (10-6) won his second straight start after allowing two
runs on four hits while striking out four over six innings for
Cleveland, which has won four in a row and seven of its last nine.
Anthony Santander belted his team-leading 32nd homer and Gunnar
Henderson had an RBI double for the Orioles, who dropped into a
first-place tie in the AL East with the New York Yankees.
