Cardinals 7, Phillies 6

Philadelphia: Nolan Arenado sparked a record barrage of four straight home runs by St. Louis in the first inning, then hit a tiebreaking drive in the ninth that sent the Cardinals over the Philadelphia Phillies.

With two outs in the first, Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carson homered off Kyle Gibson. It was the first time in major league history a team connected for four homers in a row in the first inning.

The Cardinals tied the MLB record for any inning with four in a row. It was the first time they had done it, and the 11th time overall in big league history.

Dodgers 7, Padres 2

Los Angeles: Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Justin Turner homered during a seven-pitch span in the first inning, Tyler Anderson struck out six and Los Angeles continued their dominance of San Diego.

Freeman, Smith and Turner all connected for solo shots off Padres starter Yu Darvish. It was the third time this season they have had three homers in an inning.

Anderson allowed one run on six hits and struck out six in 6 1/3 innings to become the third NL pitcher to reach at least nine wins. Teammate Tony Gonsolin got his league-leading 10th on Friday night.

White Sox 5, Giants 3

San Francisco: Gavin Sheets doubled twice and drove in two runs, and the Chicago White Sox held on for a victory against San Francisco.

Dylan Cease allowed one run in five innings for his third consecutive win. The major league leader in strikeouts per nine innings, Cease had only four against San Francisco – his fewest since May 24 - and overcame Lamonte Wade Jr.’s home run leading off the first.

Tanner Banks followed with two scoreless innings. Joe Kelly retired three hitters and Kendall Graveman pitched the ninth for his fifth save.

Rays 6, Blue Jays 2 (Gm1) Rays 11, Blue Jays 5 (Gm2)

Toronto: Francisco Mejía homered twice, Isaac Paredes had three hits and five RBIS, and the Tampa Bay Rays swept a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

The Rays won the first game, and nearly doubled their run output for the second.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a solo blast for his 19th home run and Bradley Zimmer added a two-run homer in the second game, but couldn’t keep Toronto from losing a doubleheader at home for the first time in five doubleheaders.

Yankees 13, Guardians 4 (Gm1) Yankees 6, Guardians 1 (Gm2)

Cleveland: Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton blasted consecutive homers, Nestor Cortes shut Cleveland down for six innings and the New York Yankees continued their torrid winning pace by beating the Guardians to complete a doubleheader sweep Saturday.

Matt Carpenter homered twice and Gerrit Cole brushed off giving up back-to-back home runs in New York’s 13-4 romp in the opener.

The Yankees are 25-6 since May 31.

Twins 4, Orioles 3

Minneapolis: Jorge Polanco hit a tying homer and Jose Miranda delivered a game-ending single as Minnesota again rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

A day after Byron Buxton hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Jorge López for a 3-2 victory, Minnesota came back once more.

Polanco began the ninth with a home run against López that made it 3-all. Alex Kirilloff doubled with one out, Gary Sánchez singled and Miranda followed with a single to win it.

Marlins 5, Nationals 3

Washington: Even after Jesús Aguilar hit a two-run home run in the first inning, manager Don Mattingly’s nerves built up when his Miami Marlins missed a few chances to break the game open.

Then Aguilar doubled and scored in the seventh to assuage some of those fears, which Mattingly said lasted throughout the Marlins’ victory. It’s Miami’s 10th win in 11 games against the Washington Nationals this season, and crucial hits were a big part of extending this mini-winning streak to three.

Pirates 7, Brewers 4

Pittsburgh: Oneil Cruz collected his 12th RBI in 13 games this season to help Pittsburgh Pirates bounce back from a blowout loss.

The 23-year-old prospect put the Pirates up 4-1 with two outs in the fourth on a 392-foot solo blast to right with a 112.3 mph exit velocity.

It was Cruz’s third homer of the year. He has at least one RBI in eight games since being recalled from Triple-a Indianapolis on June 20, and at least one in each of his first nine games at PNC Park.

Braves 4, Reds 1

Cincinnati: Spencer Strider allowed one hit over six innings and matched a career high with 11 strikeouts, Austin Riley homered for the second straight game and drove in two runs and Atlanta beat Cincinnati.

Strider didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the fifth inning.

Tigers 4, Royals 3

Detroit: Victor Reyes and Riley Greene hit back-to-back homers in the ninth inning to give Detroit a win over the Kansas City Royals.

With one out in the ninth, Reyes tied the game off Royals reliever Joel Payamps. It was the first homer allowed by Payamps in 26 1/3 innings this season. Greene followed with the first homer of his career.

Astros 9, Angels 1

Houston: Martín Maldonado homered twice and Jose Altuve, Kyle Tucker and Chas Mccormick added a home run each as the Houston Astros built a big lead early.

The Astros followed up their 8-1 win in the opener to extend their winning streak to five games.

Mariners 2, Athletics 1

Seattle: Pinch-hitter Justin Upton homered to tie it in the eighth inning and Abraham Toro singled home the winning run in the ninth to lift the Seattle Mariners over Oakland.

Diego Castillo (6-1) got the win. Rangers 7, Mets 3

New York: Kole Calhoun homered twice and drove in four runs, Martín Pérez won his seventh straight decision and Texas beat the New York Mets.

Calhoun hit a three-run shot off spot starter Trevor Williams in the second inning and third-year catcher Jonah Heim followed with his career-high 11th home run to give the Rangers a 4-2 lead.

Cubs 3, Red Sox 1

Chicago: Mark Leiter Jr. threw 5 1/3 solid innings of emergency relief, Nico Hoerner and Patrick Wisdom each had two hits and the Chicago Cubs capitalized on a pair of Boston errors.

Four pitchers combined to limit the Red Sox to five hits as Chicago won for the fifth time in six games.
