Duvall caps the Braves’ 3-run comeback in 9th

-

Adam Duvall’s run-scoring single capped Atlanta’s threerun rally in the ninth as the Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Duvall’s single off Tyler Rogers drove in William Contreras from second base.

The Giants wasted another strong start by Carlos Rodon, who allowed only three hits and one run in seven innings.

Jake Mcgee (1-2) blew a 3-1 lead, built on homers by Mike Yastrzemsk­i and Darin Ruf, by allowing three runs in the ninth. Mcgee was brought in to close out the lead because Camilo Doval had pitched back-to-back games.

Blue Jays 9, White Sox 5: Bo Bichette hit a grand slam and Alejandro Kirk homered for the second straight game, leading Ross Stripling and Toronto over injury-riddled Chicago.

Dodgers 8, Reds 4: Freddie Freeman homered and drove in two runs and Los Angeles extended its winning streak against Cincinnati this season to six games.

Rangers 4, Phillies 2: Brad Miller hit a two-run single against his former team and Texas beat Philadelph­ia for the ninth time in a row to hand Zack Wheeler his first loss in two months.

Padres 10, Diamondbac­ks 4: Jurickson Profar had four hits, drove in two runs and scored twice for San Diego, which jumped on Madison Bumgarner early in a victory against Arizona for a three-game sweep. Padres All-star slugger Manny Machado missed his third straight game with a sprained left ankle, but manager Bob Melvin returned after missing 11 games while in the COVID protocols.

Cubs 14, Pirates 5: Ian Happ and Patrick Wisdom hit two-run homers early and Alfonso Rivas added a grand slam off a position player late as Chicago routed Pittsburgh.

Marlins 7, Rockies 4: Pablo Lopez allowed one unearned run in seven solid innings and Miami beat Colorado.
