[June 26, 2024]
Jose Ramirez smacked a three-run home run to fuel an early
offensive outburst and the Cleveland Guardians held on to win their
seventh game in a row, edging the host Baltimore Orioles 10-8 on
Tuesday night.
Gunnar Henderson blasted his 25th homer of the season for the first
of the Orioles' four long balls, but Baltimore's losing streak
reached five games.
Ramirez has 21 home runs this year and has gone deep in back-to-back
games.
With their team trailing 8-4, Baltimore's James McCann and Colton
Cowser smashed back-to-back home runs to lead off the bottom of the
fourth. Jordan Westburg had four hits and Ryan Mountcastle had three
for the Orioles, who also got a homer from Anthony Santander in the
eighth.
Giants 5, Cubs 1
Matt Chapman contributed a two-RBI single to a game-breaking,
three-run eighth inning as San Francisco made it two wins in a row
over visiting Chicago.
Six San Francisco pitchers combined on a four-hitter. In a bullpen
game with five starters on the injured list, the Giants got shutout
relief from Sean Hjelle, Taylor Rogers, Ryan Walker, Tyler Rogers
(1-2) and Camilo Doval after opener Randy Rodriguez allowed
Chicago's only run in the third inning.
Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks (1-5) went seven innings, allowing two
runs and five hits. He walked one and struck out four.
Diamondbacks 5, Twins 4
Ketel Marte hit a two-run homer and later recorded a tiebreaking RBI
single as Arizona beat Minnesota in Phoenix.
Corbin Carroll had two singles while Eugenio Suarez and Tucker
Barnhart had run-scoring hits for Arizona, which won for the ninth
time in its past 14 games. Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt allowed
four runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings.

Ryan Jeffers hit a three-run homer and Byron Buxton had a solo blast
for Minnesota, which lost for just the fifth time in its past 15
contests. Buxton had three of the Twins' six hits. Kevin Ginkel
(6-1) retired both batters he faced in the seventh, Ryan Thompson
worked a perfect eighth and Paul Sewald pitched the ninth for his
10th save of the season. Minnesota starter Joe Ryan gave up four
runs and six hits over six innings.
Dodgers 4, White Sox 3
Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman homered and six pitchers combined
for seven innings of scoreless relief to boost Los Angeles over host
Chicago and to a seventh win in nine games.
Ohtani went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs, and he opened the
game with a solo shot to right-center. Right fielder Tommy Pham
nearly robbed the homer, but the ball glanced off his glove and
landed in the bullpen. Ohtani became the first Dodgers player since
1955 to drive in a run in nine straight games.
Gavin Sheets had two hits for Chicago, which stranded 10 runners on
base and went 0-for-9 with men in scoring position. The White Sox
have dropped six of their past seven.
Pirates 9, Reds 5
Bryan Reynolds continued his torrid offensive performance with a
tape-measure, two-run homer as visiting Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati.
Reynolds finished 2-for-5, extending the longest active hitting
streak in the majors to 22 games. It's the longest streak for a
Pirate since Jason Kendall had a 23-game streak in 2003. Nick
Gonzales added three hits in support of Pittsburgh starter Mitch
Keller (9-4), who was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on
six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out six as the
Pirates ended a two-game skid.
Jonathan India doubled twice, walked twice and scored three times
for the Reds, who lost for the third time in four games. Pittsburgh
handed Reds starter Hunter Greene his first loss since April 22.
Greene (5-3) was tagged for six runs on seven hits in four innings.
He fanned five and walked two.
Mets 9, Yankees 7
Mark Vientos hit two of the New York Mets' four homers as the hosts
beat the New York Yankees in the opener of a two-game Subway Series.
Harrison Bader and Brandon Nimmo also hit homers for the Mets, who
lead the majors with a 14-6 record this month. Reliever Dedniel
Nunez (1-0) earned his first major league win after allowing an
unearned run over 2 2/3 innings.
Aaron Judge hit an eighth-inning grand slam and finished with five
RBIs for the Yankees, who have lost eight of 11. Juan Soto also
homered, while Gerrit Cole (0-1) served up four homers and yielded
six runs in four innings.
Blue Jays 9, Red Sox 4
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two doubles and four RBIs while George
Springer homered to help visiting Toronto past Boston.

The Blue Jays scored all nine runs over the third and fourth
innings, highlighted by an initial seven-run scoring frame that
erased an early 2-0 Red Sox lead. Kevin Kiermaier also posted a
three-hit game, scoring two runs and driving in another for Toronto.
The support was more than enough for starter Kevin Gausman (6-6),
whose six innings of work included five strikeouts and helped
Toronto snap a seven-game skid.
Rafael Devers (2-for-4) and Tyler O'Neill each homered for the Red
Sox, who were held to five hits while losing for just the second
time in the past 10 games. Brayan Bello (7-5) was roughed up for
seven runs on five hits and three walks in 2 1/3 innings. Josh
Winckowski covered all but two outs the rest of the way, striking
out a career-high eight over six innings of relief.
Rays 11, Mariners 3
Taylor Walls and Ben Rortvedt drove in two runs apiece in a breakout
four-run sixth inning as Tampa Bay grounded Seattle in St.
Petersburg, Fla.

streak to 27 games, while Richie Palacios was 2-for-4 with a double,

relief to lift Milwaukee to a victory over visiting Texas.
Ortiz led off the fifth with his seventh homer, putting the Brewers
in front 2-1 with a 370-foot drive to left off starter Andrew
Heaney. Wilson (5-3), originally slated to start, came on in the
third for opener Hoby Milner, making his first career start after
269 relief appearances. Wilson allowed three hits, striking out four
and walking none. Elvis Peguero earned his second save.
Andrew Heaney (2-9) allowed two runs on six hits in five innings,
striking out four and walking two in a 90-pitch outing for the
Rangers.
Tigers 4, Phillies 1
Tarik Skubal tossed seven shutout innings and host Detroit topped
Philadelphia.
Skubal (9-3), who had lost his previous two starts, allowed three
hits and one walk while striking out seven. Andy Ibanez had two hits
and drove in two runs for the Tigers, who bounced back from an 8-1
loss to Philadelphia on Monday. Riley Greene added an RBI triple.
Bryce Harper extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a double
and a solo homer. Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (10-2) gave up four
runs and a season-high nine hits in six innings. He recorded four
strikeouts without walking a batter.
Marlins 2, Royals 1
Nick Gordon scored the go-ahead run on an error in the seventh
inning to fuel visiting Miami to a victory over Kansas City.
Otto Lopez recorded his second straight two-hit performance and
scored on Gordon's infield single for the Marlins, who have won five
of their past seven games. Vinnie Pasquantino had an RBI single
among the four hits for the Royals.
Kansas City starter Seth Lugo was denied in his bid to become the
sole major league leader in wins with 11 despite allowing just two
hits over six scoreless innings. He was relieved by Carlos Hernandez
(0-1), who took the loss.

Astros 5, Rockies 2
Hunter Brown posted his seventh consecutive quality start and
Houston turned six first-inning singles into a victory over visiting
Colorado in the opener of a two-game series.
Brown (5-5) limited Colorado to two hits and three walks while
striking out seven in six scoreless innings. The Astros made the
most of their six singles in the first, plating five runs off
Colorado starter Austin Gomber (1-5). Houston benefited from a
stolen base from Jose Altuve and a wild pitch that allowed Yainer
Diaz and Jake Meyers to each advance one base and set the table for
Chas McCormick, whose two-run single capped the uprising.
The Rockies fashioned a rally in the eighth against Astros reliever
Seth Martinez, recording a pair of base hits. In the ninth, Michael
Toglia socked his eighth home run of the season off Josh Hader, who
limited the damage in that frame to that solo shot.
Padres 9, Nationals 7
Jurickson Profar clouted a sixth-inning grand slam as San Diego beat
the visiting Washington.

who have lost the first two games of the three-game series.
MacKenzie Gore (6-7) surrendered five runs on five hits in five
innings.
Angels 7, A's 5
Mickey Moniak hit a grand slam and Tyler Anderson battled his way
through five innings as Los Angeles beat Oakland in Anaheim, Calif.

during a five-run fourth inning. Anderson (7-7) walked five but
limited the damage to three runs.
The Athletics' Armando Alvarez went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run in
his first big-league start. Mitch Spence (4-4) was tagged for six
runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
