BALTIMORE (AP) — Josh Naylor hit a grand slam during a five-run fifth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Monday night.
Randy Arozarena had three hits for the AL West-leading Mariners, who have won 10 of their last 13 games.
Baltimore, which was 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position, has lost three in a row for the first time since getting swept May 18-20 at Tampa Bay.
The Mariners tied it at 1 in the fifth on Ryan Bliss’ one-out sacrifice fly. Cole Young’s single ended Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson’s outing, and reliever Anthony Nunez walked Julio Rodríguez to load the bases. Naylor then lofted a fly just over the wall in right for his seventh homer of the season.
The Orioles closed within 5-2 in the seventh when reliever Matt Brash’s wild pitch reached the backstop and allowed Coby Mayo to score. Brash nearly walked Pete Alonso to force in another run two batters later, but Seattle challenged and Alonso was out on a called third strike. Colton Cowser grounded out to leave the bases loaded.
RAYS 3, RED SOX 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Yandy Díaz hit a leadoff homer and drove in two runs as Tampa Bay beat Boston.
Jonathan Aranda knocked in the tiebreaking run with a fifth-inning single for the AL East leaders, who had lost five of six.
Díaz put Tampa Bay on the board with his fourth leadoff homer this season, hitting the first pitch from Boston starter Connelly Early into the left-field seats. Díaz then drove in Taylor Walls on a sacrifice fly in the eighth, when Tampa Bay manufactured an insurance run without a hit.
Aranda’s two-out single scored Austin Slater from third to break a 1-all tie in the fifth, chasing Early (5-4). Slater, making his Tampa Bay debut, reached on an infield single before stealing second and advancing to third on a wild pitch.
Left-hander Ian Seymour, the Rays’ opener, retired his first five batters and didn’t allow a hit until the third, when Marcelo Mayer evened the score with a solo homer.
But after that, Seymour set down his final six batters. He pitched a season-high four innings, allowing one hit and a walk with five strikeouts. Tampa Bay’s bullpen shut out Boston over the final five innings, yielding just three hits. Casey Legumina (2-0) got the win and Bryan Baker earned his 17th save.
YANKEES 7, GUARDIANS 5, 10 INNINGS
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and New York defeated Cleveland.
Paul Goldschmidt and Ryan McMahon homered for the Yankees, who won for the first time in four extra-inning games this season.
Angel Martínez connected for a two-run homer in the fifth to give the Guardians a 5-4 lead before Goldschmidt’s grounder in the eighth drove in Trent Grisham to tie it.
With Ali Sánchez as the automatic runner in the 10th, Ben Rice was intentionally walked with one out. Max Schuemann challenged a called strike three on a full count and got it overturned to ball four, loading the bases. The Guardians pulled their infield in, but Bellinger’s base hit to left field off Shawn Armstrong (1-1) drove in Sánchez and Rice.
David Bednar (2-3), the seventh Yankees pitcher, struck out three in 1 2/3 hitless innings for the win. He retired five of the six batters he faced.
PHILLIES 5, BLUE JAYS 2
TORONTO (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez struck out 10 and allowed two runs in seven innings to win for the sixth time in seven starts, Adolis García hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia beat Toronto.
Alec Bohm reached base twice and drove in a run as the Phillies won for the sixth time in seven games.
Sánchez’s shutout streak ended at 50 2/3 innings in his previous start, a win over San Diego. The left-hander didn’t permit a run in five May starts.
This time, Sánchez (8-2) walked one and gave up four hits, including two doubles and a homer. He is 4-0 with a 2.12 ERA in five career starts against the Blue Jays.
Jhoan Duran finished for his 16th save in 16 chances.
ASTROS 5, ANGELS 4, 10 INNINGS
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jose Altuve scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning on a popout to shallow center field, and Houston left fielder Brice Matthews threw out Mike Trout at home plate in the bottom half to preserve a victory over Los Angeles.
Christian Walker hit an RBI single for Houston off Kirby Yates with one out in the ninth, tying it 4-all.
Altuve began the 10th as the automatic runner at second base and moved to third on Matthews’ bunt single. Sam Aldegheri (1-1) struck out Cam Smith and got Jake Meyers to pop out to a backpedaling Nick Madrigal behind second. Altuve tagged up and took off, sliding in safely at the plate when catcher Logan O’Hoppe couldn’t come up with an in-between hop on Madrigal’s throw home.
O’Hoppe was charged with an error on the play, and Meyers was not credited with an RBI.
Trout started the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner on second, but was erased trying to score on a leadoff single by Jose Siri. Bryan Abreu then struck out Jo Adell and retired Denzer Guzman on a liner to left for his fourth save.
Josh Hader (1-0) struck out the side in the ninth for the win.
PADRES 6, REDS 2
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Gavin Sheets hit a tying double and then scored the go-ahead run while Cincinnati misplayed three consecutive bunts by the Padres in the seventh inning, sending San Diego to a victory.
Freddy Fermin homered in his third consecutive game and drove in two runs for the Padres, who were struggling offensively for yet another night until they found a highly unorthodox way out of their slump and into just their third win in 14 games.
After Sheets doubled in Xander Bogaerts to chase starter Andrew Abbott (4-4), the next three San Diego batters bunted against Tejay Antone — and the Reds couldn’t field any of them.
Jase Bowen and Samad Taylor got credit for singles when Antone and his infielders failed to play their bunts cleanly, with Sheets scoring the tiebreaking run on what appeared to be a safety squeeze attempt by Taylor.
Antone was then charged with a fielding error on Fermin’s bunt, although the reliever shook it off and escaped the bases-loaded, nobody-out jam.
NATIONALS 4, GIANTS 3
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Daylen Lile hit a go-ahead single in the ninth inning after CJ Abrams’ tying base hit, and Washington rallied against closer Keaton Winn to spoil Logan Webb’s impressive outing and beat San Francisco.
Pitching for the third straight day, Winn (2-2) couldn’t hold a two-run lead. He gave up a one-out double to Luis García Jr. and hit Curtis Mead with a pitch to put the tying runs on base. A passed ball advanced both runners, who scored on Abrams’ single.
One out later, Abrams stole second and scored when Lile singled up the middle.
Bryce Eldridge hit a go-ahead double in the eighth against winner Clayton Beeter (2-1) after Jung Hoo Lee beat out an infield single.
Gus Varland struck out Eldridge to secure his fifth save, stranding runners at corners.
Webb, an All-Star the past two years who was trying to win consecutive starts for the first time this season, struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter over eight innings. He allowed one run and five hits.
BREWERS 15, ATHLETICS 14, 12 INNINGS
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Andrew Vaughn had four hits and four RBIs, including a two-run double that tied the score in the ninth inning, and Milwaukee outlasted the Athletics in 12 innings at Las Vegas Ballpark in a wild game that featured 11 homers.
Automatic runner Christian Yelich scored the decisive run from third when Athletics second baseman Jeff McNeil threw wide to home plate on a grounder by Brice Turang in the top of the 12th.
Abner Uribe (4-2) got four outs for the win and Chad Patrick struck out McNeil with runners at the corners for his third save.
The teams totaled 34 hits, and 14 pitchers combined to throw 444 pitches. It was the fourth game in major league history with at least 29 runs and 11 homers.
Tyler Soderstrom and Nick Kurtz each homered twice for the Athletics, who went deep seven times at the site of their Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas Aviators. The team normally plays at its temporary home in West Sacramento, California, but is playing six games in Las Vegas this week ahead of a scheduled move into a new stadium in the city in 2028.
Shea Langeliers hit the first pitch from Brewers starter Kyle Harrison 483 feet to left-center field for his 17th home run. It was the longest home run of Langeliers’ career and the fourth-longest in the majors this season.
