BASEBALL

Justin Turner hit his team’s seventh home run as the Los Angeles Dodgers won their 12th consecutive game against the New York Mets. Turner’s 11th-inning blast powered the Dodgers to an 8-7 victory and helped them complete a series sweep. Enrique Hernandez and Cody Bellinger both homered twice, while Max Muncy and Joc Pederson also went deep. It was the first time any opponent had hit seven home runs against the Mets at home. The Washington Nationals, meanwhile, came from behind to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-6 – with Daniel Murphy’s two-run single in the eighth proving the turning point. Bryce Harper hit three doubles – tying a career high – as the Nationals avoided being swept by the Phillies for the first time since 2016. Chris Sale allowed just four hits and struck out 13 batters as the Boston Red Sox shut out the Seattle Mariners 5-0, while Jake Bauers hit a walk-off homer in the 12th inning to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees. Edwin Encarnacion’s grand slam in the eighth inning helped the Cleveland Indians to a season-high seventh straight win as they defeated the Detroit Tigers 12-2.
