Grisham’s walk-off HR lifts Padres
Blue Jays outlast Angels in slugfest; White Sox go extras to beat Cubs
SAN DIEGO — Trent Grisham hit a two-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres, who have struggled offensively, beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Sunday to take two of three.
Grisham drove a 2-0 pitch from Chris Stratton (2-2) off the rightfield foul pole to bring in automatic runner Jorge Alfaro. It was the second career walk-off homer by Grisham.
BLUE JAYS 11, ANGELS 10: In Los Angeles, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled home the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning for his season-high fifth RBI, and Toronto overcame two homers by Shohei Ohtani to complete a four-game sweep of Los Angeles.
Raimel Tapia added three RBIs and Bo Bichette hit a tying homer in the eighth for Toronto, which capped its first four-game sweep of the Angels in 30 years with its highest-scoring performance of the season.
BRAVES 6, MARLINS 3: In Atlanta, Marcell Ozuna hit two home runs as part of Atlanta’s barrage of extra-base hits in its win over Miami, giving the Braves their first winning homestand of the season.
Of the Braves’ 11 hits, nine were for extra bases, including six doubles. Ozuna’s second homer of the game, his 10th of the season, traveled 458 feet into the upper leftfield seats in the third.
Austin Riley had two hits and drove in two runs for Atlanta. Ozuna and Riley hit back-to-back homers off Elieser Hernández in the first inning.
WHITE SOX 5, CUBS 4 (12): In Chicago, Jake Burger atoned for a costly error with a game-ending RBI single in the 12th inning, and the banged-up Chicago White Sox topped the Chicago Cubs in a wild finale to the season series between the crosstown rivals.
Danny Mendick opened the White Sox’s 12th as the automatic runner and advanced on Andrew Vaughn’s grounder to second against Robert Gsellman (0-2). Burger then drove Gsellman’s next pitch into left for the winning hit.
ASTROS 2, MARINERS 1: In Seattle, Ryan Pressly got Luis Torrens to ground into a gameending double play with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, preserving Houston’s win over Seattle.
Yordan Álvarez broke an eighth-inning tie with a twoout bases-loaded single off Paul Sewald, who had relieved Marco Gonzales (3-5).
Pressly walked J.P. Crawford leading off the ninth, threw a called third strike past Eugenio Suárez and walked Mike Ford, loading the bases. Torrens grounded Pressly’s third straight slider to third baseman Alex Bregman, starting a 5-4-3 double play and giving Pressly his eighth save in 10 chances.
METS 5, PHILLIES 4 (10): In New York, Nick Plummer launched a tying homer in the ninth inning for his first major league hit, Eduardo Escobar doubled home the winning run in the 10th and New York beat Philadelphia for a three-game sweep.
Nick Castellanos put Philadelphia ahead 4-3 with a three-run homer on an 0-2 pitch from reliever Adam Ottavino with two outs in the eighth.
ATHLETICS 6, RANGERS 5: In Oakland, California, Jed Lowrie hit a two-out RBI single off Brett Martin in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting Oakland past mistake-prone Texas.
After closer Dany Jiménez blew a save opportunity in the top of the ninth, the A’s came back and won in their final at-bat for the second time this season.
Cristian Pache hit a lead-off single off of Martin (0-4), then Tony Kemp popped out and Ramon Laureano grounded out to move Pache to second. Lowrie, who struck out in his first two atbats and was 1 for 5, lined a 2-2 pitch into left-center and Charlie Culberson’s throw home sailed over the head of catcher Jonah Heim.
DODGERS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 1: In Phoenix, Tyler Anderson threw six effective innings, Will Smith added a solo homer and Los Angeles swept a four-game series from Arizona.
Anderson (6-0) continued his streak of great pitching, giving the Dodgers’ rotation a muchneeded lift after injuries to Clayton Kershaw and Andrew Heaney. The veteran left-hander scattered five hits and has given up just two earned runs over his last 21 innings, spanning three starts that all ended in wins.
RED SOX 12, ORIOLES 2: In Boston, Bobby Dalbec hit a tworun homer, one of Boston’s season-high five long balls, and the Red Sox coasted over Baltimore.
Rafael Devers, Kiké Hernández, Franchy Cordero and Christian Arroyo each hit a solo drive for the Red Sox, who posted their ninth win in 12 games.
TWINS 7, ROYALS 3: In Minneapolis, Sonny Gray cruised before leaving in the seventh inning because of right pectoral soreness, and Minnesota beat Kansas City behind Gio Urshela’s threerun homer.
Gray (3-1) allowed two hits and retired 14 in a row before Andrew Benintendi’s single leading off the seventh.
With a 3-1 count on Bobby Witt Jr. and Kansas City asking for a video review to try to get a hit batter call, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli and athletic trainer came to the mound as Gray appeared to be trying to stretch a muscle near his pitching shoulder. Gray was replaced by Griffin Jax, who struck out Witt and allowed MJ Melendez’s RBI double.
GIANTS 6, REDS 4: In Cincinnati, Evan Longoria hit his fourth home run in four games, a go-ahead, three-run drive in a six-run eighth inning, to lift San Francisco over Cincinnati and avoid a three-game sweep.
NATIONALS 6, ROCKIES 5: In Washington, Juan Soto snapped a 15-game home run drought with a two-run shot, Tanner Rainey got the final five outs and Washington held off Colorado.
Soto, who hadn’t homered since May 12 against the Mets, added a double and a walk for the Nationals, who took three of four from the Rockies.
Rockies starter Kyle Freeland (1-5) exited with an apparent left leg injury with two outs in the sixth inning. Freeland, who was helped off the field, was charged with five runs on seven hits. He walked four and struck out two.
RAYS 4, YANKEES 2: In St. Petersburg, Florida, Taylor Walls and Ji-man Choi homered for Tampa Bay’s only hits, and the team scored two runs in the seventh inning on four walks and a hit batter in a win over New York.
TIGERS 2, GUARDIANS 1: In Detroit, Harold Castro homered for the third time in three games and Jeimer Candelario also connected in Detroit’s win over Cleveland.
Detroit won despite getting just four hits. The Tigers beat Cleveland for just the seventh time in their last 28 games at Comerica Park.
BREWERS 8, CARDINALS 0: In St. Louis, Corbin Burnes tossed seven shutout innings and Jace Peterson hit a three-run homer to lead Milwaukee over St. Louis.
Lorenzo Cain and Rowdy Tellez also homered for the Brewers, who have won four of six and stretched their road record to 13-10.
