[July 03, 2024]
Teoscar Hernandez drove in three runs, including the
game-winner on a ninth-inning single, as the Los Angeles Dodgers
rallied for a 6-5 victory over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on
Tuesday.
Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run home run as part of a three-hit night,
helping the Dodgers prevail after they lost two of three games over
the weekend at San Francisco. Hernandez also had three hits.
Christian Walker continued to torment the Dodgers with a home run,
his fifth in seven games against Los Angeles this season, while
former Dodger Joc Pederson hit a solo shot in the top of the ninth
off Evan Phillips (1-0) to put Arizona up 5-4.
The Dodgers were down to their last out when Will Smith doubled to
left-center against Paul Sewald (0-1). Freddie Freeman followed with
a game-tying double. Two pitches later, Hernandez rolled his
game-ending single to left field.
Orioles 2, Mariners 0
Grayson Rodriguez pitched 6 1/3 effective innings as Baltimore
defeated host Seattle in the opener of a three-game series between
division leaders.
The American League East-leading Orioles won for the fifth time in
their past six games while the AL West-leading Mariners dropped
their third in a row. Rodriguez (10-3) allowed just two hits, both
by Josh Rojas, and Craig Kimbrel picked up his 20th save to complete
the two-hitter.
Mariners starter George Kirby (7-6) allowed two runs on seven hits
over 6 1/3 innings.

Brewers 4, Rockies 3
Rhys Hoskins was hit by a pitch with two outs and the bases loaded
in the top of the ninth to drive in the winning run as Milwaukee
rallied to beat Colorado in Denver.
The Brewers tied the game earlier in the inning on Willy Adames'
sacrifice fly off Nick Mears (1-4). Christian Yelich had a double
among his three hits. Rob Zastryzny (1-0) picked up the win in
relief, and Trevor Megill struck out two in a scoreless ninth for
his 18th save.
Brenton Doyle homered, doubled and drove in two runs for the
Rockies, who had a two-game winning streak end.
Phillies 6, Cubs 4
Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBIs to lead
Philadelphia to a victory at Chicago.
Garrett Stubbs had a two-run double for the Phillies. Michael
Mercado (1-0) allowed one run and two hits in five innings in his
first major league start and second appearance.
Seiya Suzuki smacked a three-run homer and Cody Bellinger had an RBI
double for Chicago, which lost for the seventh time in nine games.
Hayden Wesneski (2-5) surrendered five runs and five hits over five
innings.
Rangers 7, Padres 0
Nathaniel Lowe clouted a pair of two-run homers and Nathan Eovaldi
allowed only one hit over seven shutout innings as Texas blanked San
Diego in Arlington, Texas.
Eovaldi (5-3) struck out six and walked none, facing just one batter
over the minimum during his 92-pitch stint. Jonathan Hernandez
tossed the final two innings to complete a two-hit shutout as Texas
earned a second consecutive win after dropping six in a row.
Dylan Cease (7-7) was pounded for eight hits and six runs in 3 2/3
innings as the Padres took their second straight loss after winning
nine of the previous 10.
Twins 5, Tigers 3
Manuel Margot and Carlos Correa homered as Minnesota rallied past
Detroit in Minneapolis for its fifth win in six games.
Twins reliever Jorge Alcala (2-3) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Minnesota's Royce Lewis went 1-for-2 with a two-run double before
leaving due to left groin tightness after the fifth inning. The team
labeled his status as day-to-day. Jhoan Duran pitched a perfect
ninth inning to collect his 13th save.
Justyn-Henry Malloy and Ryan Kreidler homered for the Tigers, who
lost for the fifth time in six games. Tarik Skubal gave up three
runs on four hits in six innings.

Reds 5, Yankees 4
Elly De La Cruz hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning as visiting
Cincinnati held on to beat New York.
The Reds won for the third time in five games by building a five-run
lead and surviving a big night from Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, who
hit his major-league-leading 32nd homer and had three hits. Gleyber
Torres had an RBI single and rookie Ben Rice contributed a two-run
double during New York's three-run sixth.
De La Cruz's blast came shortly after Will Benson helped chase Luis
Gil (9-4) from the game with a two-run homer. Gil yielded four runs
in four-plus innings. Cincinnati starter Graham Ashcraft (5-4) gave
up three runs in five-plus innings.
Cardinals 7, Pirates 4
Nolan Gorman hit the second grand slam of his career to help
visiting St. Louis beat Pittsburgh in the opener of a three-game
series.

for the Cardinals, who have won three of their last four games. Kyle
Gibson (6-3) allowed four runs in five innings. Ryan Helsley pitched
a 1-2-3 ninth for his 31st consecutive save.
