Brewers 7, Reds 2

Cincinnati: A rain delay changed Freddy Peralta’s plan to pitch deeper into Thursday’s game. The Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen seamlessly finished what he started.

Peralta was rolling along through four innings and planning to pitch the fifth before the 37-minute delay. He had given up just two hits, one of them a Joey Votto homer in the second inning, but Brewers manager Craig Counsell decided not to get the right-hander up and warm warm again after the rain

.Four relievers kept Cincinnati in check, and Milwaukee cruised to a win to take two of three from the Reds in the series. Brent Suter (7-3) allowed one run over two innings, and Brad Boxberger, Hoby Milner and Trevor Richards each threw a scoreless frame, with Richards striking out the Reds in order in the ninth. “As soon as we got the delay and we knew it going to be more than 30 minutes, they told me I was done for the day,” Peralta said. “I wanted to stay in the game and throw the fifth and sixth innings, but it is what it is.”

Jace Peterson drove in three runs, and Daniel Vogelbach hit a two-run homer as the Brewers won for the 11th time in 13 games.

Peterson, promoted from Triple-a Nashville at the start of the series, blooped a tiebreaking, two-run single in a three-run sixth and added an RBI double in the eighth. Phillies 4, Braves 3

Philadelphia: Jean Segura slowly jogged around first and watched Odubel Herrera dive headfirst across the plate for the winning run before another walk-off celebration began for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Segura’s two-run single high off the left-field fence in the 10th inning gave the Phillies a 4-3 comeback win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

“That’s what I’m here for,” Segura said about his knack for clutch hits.

The Phillies took two of three from the three-time defending NL East champions, including a walk-off win Wednesday night on Luke Williams’ first big league homer with two outs in the ninth.

Freddie Freeman hit a solo homer off closer Hector Neris with one out in the ninth to tie it, and the Braves scored two runs off José Alvarado (5-0) on a wild pitch and passed ball in the 10th.

But Alec Bohm’s RBI single off Chris Martin (0-2) in the bottom half cut it to 3-2. Herrera followed with a double down the left-field line. Segura then hit a drive to deep left-center.

He kept jogging around first, toward second and waited for teammates to mob him.

“I knew it was good enough to walk it off so that’s why I (watched) it a little bit,” Segura said.

Zack Wheeler struck out 12 in eight dominant innings and Segura hit an RBI double in the eighth to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead but Freeman’s 14th homer erased it.

Herrera had a chance to rob Freeman but his jump was too far in front of the fence and the ball fell beyond his glove.

“I don’t think it’s a ball he should’ve caught, but it’s a ball he could’ve caught,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said.

Dodgers 6, Pirates 3

Pittsburgh: Even amid a slow start, Dave Roberts didn’t need a reminder of all the things Mookie Betts can do to help the Los Angeles Dodgers win games.

Betts provided one anyway.

The star right fielder hit the 25th leadoff home run of his big league career and added a spectacular catch and throw double play as the Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Los Angeles manager predicted last weekend Betts was on the verge of a breakout. Betts looked comfortable in the box while collecting two hits to boost his batting average to .255 while displaying the athleticism that makes him one of the most exciting defenders in the game.

Betts took the third pitch he saw from Mitch Keller (3-7) and sent it into the bullpen beyond the centerfield fence for his sixth homer this season. He then saved a run in the bottom of the second by making a running grab on a sinking line drive by Ka’ai Tom t hen doing a 360-degree turn before firing a one-hop strike to home plate to nail Pittsburgh’s Erik Gonzalez.

“If you’re talking about the degree of difficulty on the catch, the turn, the accuracy and the arm strength, it would be hard to find a play that was tougher,” Roberts said. Tigers 8, Mariners 3

Detroit: Jonathan Schoop homered and Isaac Paredes hit a go-ahead single as the Detroit Tigers rallied from a first-inning deficit and took advantage of three errors to beat the Seattle Mariners.

Mitch Haniger put Seattle ahead against Tyler Alexander with the first of his two solo homers, but the Tigers rallied to take two of three from the Mariners, who have lost six of nine following a five-game winning streak.

“We had good at-bats, even from the beginning of the game, and that gave us a chance to settle in,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said.

Joe Jiménez (1-0) pitched a 1-2-3 seventh for his first win since last Aug. 26.

Alex Lange threw the eighth and Gregory Soto pitched a perfect ninth to finish the six-hitter.
