Padres 10, Nationals 5

Washington: Juan Soto had two hits and got a standing ovation in his return to Washington, and San Diego beat the Nationals.

Soto, one of the best hitters in baseball at age 23 and a World Series champion in 2019 with Washington, was traded to San Diego on Aug. 2.

Soto has reached base in every game with the Padres. He just missed his second homer with San Diego when he doubled off the right-field wall in the Padres’ seven-run fifth inning. He singled later in the inning to drive in Austin Nola. He also hit a 390-foot flyout to the warning track in the eighth.

Dodgers 8, Royals 3

Kansas City, Mo.: Tony Gonsolin took a no-hit try into the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers won their 11th straight game.

Gonsolin (14-1) tied Atlanta’s Kyle Wright for the NL wins lead. The Dodgers, with the best record in the majors, broke open the game on Trayce Thompson’s three-run homer in the eighth.

Gonsolin did not allow a baserunner until issuing a one-out walk to Kyle Isbel in the sixth, when the game was still scoreless. He didn’t give up a hit until Vinnie Pasquantino’s one-out single in the seventh.

Overall, Gonsolin permitted two hits in 6 2/3 innings.

Phillies 2, Mets 1 (10 innings)

New York: Left fielder Matt Vierling threw out Starling Marte at the plate to end the ninth and Philadelphia, beat New York.

Hernandez, a former Mets star and an 11-time Gold Glove first baseman, criticized the Phillies’ defensive skills during an SNY telecast Tuesday night.

In the sixth inning, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm made a barehanded, off-balance throw to get Marte at first and pitcher Ranger Suárez snared a comebacker by Francisco Lindor.

Astros 7, Athletics 5

Houston: Kyle Tucker hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to rally Houston tover Oakland.

Houston trailed 2-0 before breaking loose for a six-run rally in the fifth. José Altuve doubled and scored on a single by Yuli Gurriel. Yordan Alvarez followed with another single, and Alex Bregman walked to load the bases for Tucker. After Tucker missed badly on an 82 mph slider from Sam Moll to make it a 1-2 count, the left-hander went back to the same pitch and this time Tucker pulled it a few rows deep into the right field seats.

Red Sox 3, Yankees 2 (10 innings)

Boston: J.D. Martinez had three hits, including a game-tying RBI single in the ninth, and Tommy Pham hit a walk-off single in the 10th on to lead the last-place Boston Red Sox to a over Aaron Judge and the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

New York pitchers retired 12 straight Boston batters before closer Clay Holmes walked two with one out in the ninth and then gave up Martinez’s single up the middle.

Judge, who hit his major league-leading 46th home run in the third inning, reached base for the fourth time when he was walked to lead off the 10th. But Garrett Whitlock fanned Josh Donaldson and Gleyber Torres to end the threat.

Braves 4, Marlins 3

Miami: Michael Harris II had two hits, including a tiebreaking, tworun homer in the eighth inning, and Atlanta beat the Miami Marlins.

Eddie Rosario singled and doubled, and Matt Olson also went deep for the Braves in the opener of a fourgame series.

Marlins reliever Elieser Hernández allowed Vaughn Grissom’s leadoff double before Harris connected with a shot that bounced off the upper deck railing in right and put Atlanta ahead 4-2.

Tyler Matzek (2-2) pitched a scoreless seventh. Jacob Stallings and Peyton Burdick hit consecutive one-out doubles off Kirby Yates that got Miami to 4-3 in the eighth.

Guardians 8, Blue Jays 0

Toronto: Canadians Cal Quantrill and Josh Naylor crossed the border and led the Cleveland Guardians to a rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Quantrill pitched seven shutout innings and won his fifth straight decision, and Naylor hit a two-run home run as the surging Guardians won their sixth straight.

On Sitcom Night in Toronto, there was little for a big crowd of 41,677 to laugh at. Cleveland’s José Ramirez hit a three-run home run, his 22nd, and finished with four RBIS as the Guardians roughed up Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos.

Toronto has lost three straight and six of eight.

Cardinals 3, Brewers 1

St. Louis: Jordan Montgomery pitched six strong innings for second straight scoreless outing for his new team, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado both homered, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers.

St. Louis, which has won 11 of 14, pushed its lead over Milwaukee in the NL Central to 1.5 games. The Cardinals won their ninth straight at home, the longest streak since a nine-game run June 2-29, 2015.

Victor Caratini had three hits and an RBI for Milwaukee, which had a two-game winning streak snapped.

Ryan Helsley picked up his 12th save in 15 opportunities. Montgomery struck out Christian Yelich and Willy Adames with runners on first and third to end a threat in the fifth.

Mariners 6, Rangers 2

Arlington, Texas: Star rookie Julio Rodriguez got two hits in his return to the Seattle lineup and the Mariners took over the first wild-card position in the American League.

The 21-year-old Rodriguez, who put on an impressive show in the All-star Home Run Derby, had missed the Mariners’ previous 11 games with a wrist injury.

Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking, opposite-field single to shallow right with the bases loaded in the fourth inning.

Orioles 10, Rays 3

St. Petersburg, Fla.: Jorge Mateo had a career-high five hits, Adley Rutschman and Cedric Mullins each homered off the Tropicana Field catwalk, and the Orioles beat Tampa Bay.

Rougned Odor had four of the Orioles’ 19 hits as Baltimore won for the eighth time in 10 games and moved into an AL wild-card spot, a half-game ahead of the Rays.

White Sox 2, Tigers 0

Chicago: Michael Kopech struck out a career-best 11 in six innings of no-hit ball and Andrew Vaughn hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh inning, leading the Chicago White Sox tover the Detroit Tigers.

Kopech was lifted despite blanking the Tigers on 85 pitches through six innings. Vaughn snapped the scoreless game with a two-out, bases-loaded blooper that landed just in front of Willi Castro’s glove.
