The Colorado Springs Gazette final

MLB ROUNDUP

Padres 2, Phillies 0

Philadelphia: Yu Darvish put the tying runs on base and the heart of the Phillies lineup was coming up. But the pitcher escaped the jam and retired Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos in a key spot. He pitched seven shutout innings to lead San Diego over Philadelphia.

The Padres took two of three from the Phillies and moved 10 games over .500. They have won five of six road series this season.

Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 1

Chicago: Zac Gallen pitched five effective innings, Daulton Varsho homered and Arizona beat Chicago, stopping a six-game slide.

Gallen allowed one run and two hits. The right-hander issued three walks and hit a batter, but wiggled out of a jam in his last inning while earning his first win in his fourth start against Chicago.

Orioles 9, Yankees 6

Baltimore: Anthony Santander lined a three-run homer in the ninth inning off Lucas Luetge and the Baltimore Orioles avoided a four-game sweep.

New York lost for just the second time in 11 games and is still a major-league best 28-10. The Yankees fell to 18-1 when scoring five runs or more this season.

Reds 4, Guardians 2

Cleveland: Tyler Naquin wasn’t aware there was an award given to the most outstanding player in the Ohio Cup until it was handed to him.

“I’ll take all the trophies I can get,” he said, smiling.

Naquin homered in the fifth, scored on Kyle Farmer’s go-ahead single in the eighth and led Cincinnati over Cleveland, for the Reds’ first series sweep of their northern neighbors since 2014.

Mets 7, Cardinals 6

(10 innings)

New York: Hours after the Mets learned Max Scherzer will join fellow ace Jacob degrom on the injured list, Pete Alonso kept New York rolling with a two-run homer in the 10th inning for a win over St. Louis.

Paul Goldschmidt tied the score 5-all with two outs in the ninth off Mets closer Edwin Díaz with his fourth RBI. Albert Pujols hit a run-scoring double play grounder in the 10th of the Cardinals’ first-extra inning game this year.

White Sox 7, Royals 4

Kansas City: Luis Robert homered and drove in four runs as the Chicago White Sox rallied past Kansas City to win the five-game series.

Robert delivered a pair of RBI singles before hitting a two-run homer into the left field stands in the eighth. His sixth home run of the season capped Chicago’s sixth come-from-behind win.

Red Sox 12, Mariners 6

Boston: Trevor Story had three homers, four hits and seven RBIS to help Boston rally from a four-run deficit.

Story slugged a pair of two-run homers and a three-run shot in the eighth, and singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth with the help of a wild throw.

Jackie Bradley Jr. added an RBI double off the Green Monster as Boston scored nine straight runs and won for the fifth time in seven games.

Astros 5, Rangers 1

Houston: Martín Maldonado hit a three-run double and Jose Altuve added a season-high four hits to back a strong start by Framber Valdez as the Houston Astros continued their home dominance of the Texas Rangers.

The victory extended Houston’s winning streak at home against the Rangers to 11. Texas went 0-9 at Minute Maid Park last season and hasn’t won in Houston since Sept. 16, 2020.

The Astros won their ninth straight overall at home.
