Dodgers power past Cards; Giants prevail in 12th
Baltimore gets past Cleveland; White Sox to Sale: Go home
ST. LOUIS — Adrian Gonzalez hit his eighth home run and Justin Turner got two more RBIs as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat St. Louis 7-2 on Saturday night to end the Cardinals’ five-game winning streak.
Turner’s two-run double capped a four-run third. He has 14 RBIs since the All-Star break. Gonzalez’s 429-foot blast to center sparked a three-run sixth.
Kenta Maeda (9-7) rebounded from a poor outing against Arizona on July 17, giving up two runs over 5⅔ innings.
GIANTS 2, YANKEES 1 (12): In New York, Mac Williamson homered in the fifth inning and hit a tiebreaking single in the 12th, lifting San Francisco over New York.
NL West-leading San Francisco had lost a seasonhigh six straight games since the All-Star break.
Williamson, whose fourth-inning error allowed the Yankees’ run, began the comeback when he connected off Ivan Nova leading off the fifth.
Trevor Brown hit an opposite-field double to right off Anthony Swarzak (1-1) leading off the 12th, and Williamson singled up the middle with one out.
ORIOLES 5, INDIANS 2: In Baltimore, Mark Trumbo hit his major league-leading 30th home run and Kevin Gausman pitched seven shutout innings as Baltimore beat Cleveland. Pedro Alvarez also homered for the Orioles. Brad Brach surrendered a two-out, two-run single to Cleveland’s Lonnie Chisenhall in the ninth before Zach Britton got the final out for his 32nd save.
MARLINS 7, METS 2: In Miami, Giancarlo Stanton homered and had his first four-hit game since 2012, driving in three runs to give Jose Fernandez (12-4) all the support he needed as Miami beat New York.
Miami rocked Jacob deGrom (6-5), who allowed 10 hits and five runs, both season highs, and lasted just 3⅔ innings in his shortest outing since August.
ASTROS 7, ANGELS 2: In Houston, Evan Gattis had two home runs and four RBIs, and Collin McHugh threw six strong innings as Houston beat LA.
Gattis sat out Friday with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. He came back Saturday and launched a three-run homer in the second inning and added a solo shot off the facade in left-center in the fourth to give Houston a 5-0 lead.
NATIONALS 3, PADRES 2: In Washington, pinchhitter Stephen Drew hit a game-ending RBI triple in the ninth to give Washington a win over San Diego.
Anthony Rendon opened the bottom off the ninth with a single off reliever Kevin Quackenbush (6-4). Drew entered with one out and drove a pitch off the center-field scoreboard. PIRATES 7, PHILLIES 4: In Pittsburgh, Gregory Polanco and David Freese hit two-run singles during a five-run fifth to rally Pittsburgh over Philadelphia after top Pirates rookie Tyler Glasnow was removed with shoulder discomfort in the fourth inning.
MARINERS 14, BLUE JAYS 5: In Toronto, Hisashi Iwakuma (11-6) pitched six innings to win his fifth straight start, and Nelson Cruz hit his ninth career grand slam and homered twice as Seattle matched a season high with 19 hits in a rout of Toronto.
TWINS 11, RED SOX 9: In Boston, Miguel Sano homered and Eduardo Nunez drove in three runs, including two in a five-run seventh inning, as Minnesota beat Boston.
Eddie Rosario had four singles for the Twins, who won their second straight over the Red Sox.
RANGERS 7, ROYALS 4: In Kansas City, Mo., Cole Hamels allowed one unearned run in 5⅓ innings, and Nomar Mazara and Adrian Beltre homered as Texas defeated Kansas City. Hamels (11-2) limited the Royals to five hits, struck out four and walked three.
ATHLETICS 4, RAYS 3: In Oakland, Calif., Ryon Healy hit a game-ending home run in the ninth inning two batters after Jake Smolinski tied it with a two-run homer as Oakland beat Tampa Bay.
BREWERS 6, CUBS 1: In Milwaukee, Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit two homers and Zach Davies (7-4) took a shutout into the seventh as Milwaukee beat Chicago.
REDS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 1: In Cincinnati, Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer and barely missed another in Cincinnati’s victory over Arizona.
ROCKIES 8, BRAVES 4: In Denver, Trevor Story hit two home runs (Nos. 25 and 26) to set an NL rookie record for shortstops as Colorado beat Atlanta.
Notes
WHITE SOX: Chicago ace Chris Sale was scratched from his home start against Detroit on Saturday night after he was involved in what the team said was a “non-physical clubhouse incident.”
Sale, who was to attempt to become the majors’ first 15-game winner, was sent home from the park.
FanRag Sports first reported the incident involved Sale’s protest of the throwback jerseys the team was scheduled to wear. Fox Sports reported Sale cut up the throwback jerseys during batting practice.
“The incident, which was non-physical in nature, currently is under further investigation by the club,” GM Rick Hahn said in a statement.
The White Sox marketing department described the night as the “Throwback Game.” It announced the team would wear collared, blue and white V-neck jerseys first worn during the 1976 season.
In the game, the score was 3-3 after eight innings before the game was suspended because of rain. It will be completed today before the regularly scheduled game.
