The Colorado Springs Gazette final

MLB ROUNDUP

Giants 6, Athletics 4

Oakland, Calif.: Mike Yastrzemski homered twice, Thairo Estrada also connected and San Francisco won its seventh consecutive interleague road game.

Logan Webb bounced back from his worst outing of the season and allowed four hits in seven innings, helping the Giants take three of four in the Bay Bridge series. Brandon Crawford added two hits, and Austin Slater had a pinch-hit RBI double.

Seth Brown hit his 17th home run for the A’s.

Dodgers 4, Padres 0

Los Angeles: Cody Bellinger hit two homers, Tyler Anderson allowed two hits over seven sparkling innings and Los Angeles completed a statement-making sweep.

Freddie Freeman had two RBI singles in the major league-leading Dodgers’ eighth consecutive victory and their 30th in 35 games.

The Dodgers’ sweep was also a strong reply to San Diego’s bold moves at the trade deadline to acquire Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury.

Mets 5, Braves 2

New York: Jacob degrom struck out 12 and carried a perfect game into the sixth inning of his second start all season, giving New York its 12th victory in 14 games.

Pete Alonso drove in two runs and the first-place Mets finished with 19 strikeouts — including three in a row from closer Edwin Díaz to end it.

Pitching at home for the first time in 13 months, a dominant degrom (1-0) retired his first 17 batters — 12 on strikeouts — before walking Ehire Adrianza with two outs in the sixth.

Guardians 1, Astros 0

Cleveland: Triston Mckenzie held Houston to two hits and struck out eight in eight innings, Luke Maile homered for the first time in three years and Cleveland won.

Mckenzie retired 15 straight hitters before pinch-hitter Kyle Tucker walked with one out in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Jose Altuve then bounced into an inning-ending double play, and Mckenzie let out a yell and pounded his right hand into his glove as he headed to dugout.

Cardinals 12, Yankees 9

St. Louis: Nolan Arenado and Paul Dejong both homered and drove in four runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals complete a three-game sweep.

St. Louis won its season-high seventh straight in a slugfest that took 4 hours, 25 minutes — the longest nine-inning game in the majors this season.

D.J. Lemahieu homered for the Yankees, who have lost five in a row. It’s their worst skid since a seven-game slide last September.

Phillies 13, Nationals 1

Philadelphia: Rookie Darick Hall hit two home runs and Nick Maton and Rhys Hoskins each hit two-run homers to lead Philadelphia to a four-game sweep.

Maton drove in four runs, Bryson Stott had three RBIS and the Phillies scored five runs in the fourth and eighth innings.

The Phillies celebrated its first World Series champs with highlights from Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton and Pete Rose and the 1980 team.

Pirates 8, Orioles 1

Baltimore: Bryse Wilson pitched effectively into the sixth inning, Ke’bryan Hayes homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped Baltimore’s five-game winning streak.

The Pirates also ended their own nine-game skid at Camden Yards. Pittsburgh broke the game open in the seventh after a replay review changed a call at the plate.

Pittsburgh’s Greg Allen initially was called out, but upon review, catcher Robinson Chirinos was ruled to have violated the home plate collision rule, and Allen was safe.

Reds 4, Brewers 2 (10 innings)

Milwaukee: Donovan Solano had a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers.

Solano, who also had an RBI double in the eighth, had an RBI flyball in the 10th off Devin Williams as the Reds won for the eighth time in 10 games.

Mike Brousseau made an error in the 10th that allowed the go-ahead run score for the Reds.

Brewers starter Corbin Burnes went six innings and allowed just a run on two hits and a pair of walks while striking out nine.

Blue Jays 3, Twins 2 (10 innings)

Minneapolis: Cavan Biggio hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and Whit Merrifield scored on an overturned call to lead Toronto and split the four-game series.

Merrifield was originally called out at the plate trying to score the game-winning run, but the call was reversed after Twins catcher Gary Sanchez was deemed to have interfered with Merrifield.

Replay officials ruled Sanchez did not establish a clear lane for Merrifield.

Royals 13, Red Sox 5

Kansas City, Mo.: M.J. Melendez hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning and had a career-high six RBIS to help the Kansas City Royals.

The rookie Melendez blasted it an estimated 406-feet to right field which bounced into the fountains to give the Royals a 5-0 lead.

Melendez is putting together quite the campaign after being called up on May 3. He’s hit 13 home runs on the year and has back-to-back homer games four times this season.

Rays 7, Tigers 0

Detroit: Yu Chang and Yandy Diaz drew bases-loaded walks in a seven-run ninth inning, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-0 win.

With the game scoreless in the ninth, Isaac Parades hit a one-out single off Tigers closer Gregory Soto, then took third on a two-out double by Francisco Mejia. Soto walked Jose Siri to load the bases, then missed on a 3-2 pitch to Chang. Soto walked Diaz, his fourth batter of the inning, to make it 2-0.

Jason Foley replaced Soto and allowed a two-run single, a two-run double and an RBI single.

Marlins 3, Cubs 0

Chicago: Jesús Luzardo allowed one hit over seven innings for his first win since April, and Jacob Stallings and Peyton Burdick hit back-to-back home runs to prevent a three-game sweep.

Yan Gomes singled with two outs in the fifth off Luzardo. Nick Madrigal’s leadoff single in the ninth against Tanner Scott was Chicago’s only other hit. Scott then got a groundout and two strikeouts for his 15th save.

After a 56-minute rain delay, Luzardo struck out six and walked one in his first win since April 30.

White Sox 8, Rangers 2

Arlington, Texas: Andrew Vaughn had a two-run home run among his three hits, Luis Robert hit a two-run double, and A.J. Pollock had two doubles in a three-hit game as Chicago split a four-game series.

Leury Garcia had three hits and scored twice and Jose Abreu had three singles as the White Sox broke out offensively. They had 15 hits, five for extra bases, after being limited to four runs and 13 hits in the previous three games.

The White Sox pulled within two games of first-place Minnesota in the AL Central and remained three games behind in the wild-card race.

Mariners 6, Angels 3

Seattle: Jesse Winker hit a grand slam, Marco Gonzales struck out seven and Seattle beat Los Angeles as Shohei Ohtani continued to struggle.

Winker’s slam – the second of the season for Seattle and Winker’s third career one – put Seattle up 5-1 and helped the Mariners stay in third in the AL wild-card race. Eugenio Suárez added two hits and drove in a run.

Two-way sensation Ohtani was visited by trainers before his second at-bat but was OK.
