Diamondbac­ks complete sweep in Cincinnati

S.F. catcher works his 5th straight shutout

-

CINCINNATI — David Peralta hit a three-run triple in a six-run 10th inning to finish with five hits and a career-best seven RBIs, and the Arizona Diamondbac­ks overcame six Cincinnati home runs to beat the Reds 14-11 on Thursday.

Carson Kelly followed Peralta with a two-run homer as the Diamondbac­ks opened a 14-8 lead. Arizona hung on in the bottom half to complete a three-game sweep that extended its winning streak to four.

The Reds lost their fourth straight, finishing a 2-4 homestand. Cincinnati’s Jesse Winker had his third career two-homer game.

GIANTS 3, MARLINS 0: In San Francisco, Giants catcher Curt Casali caught his fifth consecutiv­e shutout, guiding Aaron Sanchez and four relievers in San Francisco’s win over Miami.

Casali — a backup to veteran catcher Buster Posey, who got a night off — is the fifth catcher since at least 1900 to backstop a shutout in five straight starts. He joins Francisco Cervelli (2015), Chris Hoiles (1995), Alan Ashby (1986) and Ed Phelps (six straight in 1903), per Elias Sports. Casali is the first to do it with five different starting pitchers.

YANKEES 6, INDIANS 3: In Cleveland, Rougned Odor’s twoout, two-run single broke a seventh-inning tie and sent New York to a win over Cleveland.

Odor was batting just .107 and in a 3-for-28 slide when he came up against Nick Wittgren (0-1). Odor slapped his single through the middle to score Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres to break a 3-3 tie as the Yankees got their second win in eight games.

ASTROS 8, ANGELS 2: In Houston, Albuquerqu­e’s Alex Bregman had three hits and three RBIs, Cristian Javier struck out a career-high nine in five scoreless innings and Houston snapped a three-game skid with a win over Los Angeles.

The Astros had lost nine of 10 after a 6-1 start.

The Angels lost for the third time in four games on a night when Mike Trout left in the fifth inning with a bruised left elbow after being hit by a pitch an inning before.

MARINERS 7, RED SOX 3 (10): In Boston, Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning moments after Sam Haggerty’s go-ahead double, as Seattle rallied past Boston despite getting just three hits.

Haggerty made it 4-3 with his double off Darwinzon Hernandez (0-1), Seattle’s first hit since Ty France’s tying, two-run double against Nick Pivetta with two outs in the fifth that snapped the righthande­r’s no-hit bid.

CUBS 4, METS 3 (10): In Chicago, Jason Heyward had a gameending, pinch-hit single in the 10th after Dan Winkler stranded the bases loaded in the top of the inning, and Chicago beat New York to complete a three-game sweep.

Kris Bryant had two hits and two RBIs, and Willson Contreras also drove in a run as Chicago beat the Mets for the seventh straight time dating to June 2019.

PIRATES 4, TIGERS 2: In Detroit, Phillip Evans kept Akil Baddoo’s drive to left field in the park in the seventh inning to help Pittsburgh escape a jam, and the Pirates scored twice in the eighth to beat Detroit.
