Cole masterful as Yankees beat up on Tigers
Silseth takes loss for LA at Philly
NEW YORK — Gerrit Cole pitched perfectly into the seventh inning a night after teammate Jameson Taillon lost his bid in the eighth, Aaron Judge homered and had four hits, and the New York Yankees thumped the Detroit Tigers 13-0 Friday.
The Yankees are the first team with consecutive perfect-game bids of six innings or more since at least 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Jose Trevino, Anthony Rizzo and Matt Carpenter also homered for New York.
Jonathan Schoop spoiled Cole’s (5-1) perfect night with two outs in the seventh as his grounder skipped up the middle.
PADRES 7, BREWERS 0: In Milwaukee, Joe Musgrove nearly threw his second no-hitter in as many seasons as San Diego blanked the Brewers.
Musgrove, who pitched the only no-hitter in Padres history last season, held Milwaukee hitless for 7⅔ innings.
BRAVES 3, ROCKIES 1 (10 inn.): In Denver, Max Fried pitched eight scoreless innings, Matt Olson hit a two-run single in the 10th and Atlanta became the last major league team to win three straight games this season.
It was only the second game in Coors Field history to be scoreless after nine innings.
PHILLIES 10, ANGELS 0: In Philadelphia, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber each homered twice for the Phillies.
The Angels have lost nine straight, their worst skid since an 11-game drought in 2016.
Schwarber led off the bottom of the first with a homer against former Piedra Vista High standout Chase Silseth (1-1). Bryson Stott’s three-run shot an inning later chased the Angels right-hander.
CARDINALS 14, CUBS 5: In Chicago, Paul Goldschmidt homered to extend his hitting streak to 25 games, Corey Dickerson went deep twice and St. Louis routed the Cubs.
Nolan Gorman and Lars Nootbaar also connected for the Cardinals.
Goldschmidt closed in on his career-high 26-game hitting streak with Arizona in 2013.
NATIONALS 8, REDS 5: In Cincinnati, Lane Thomas had a threehomer game for the first time in his career, and Nelson Cruz and Juan Soto also went deep, leading Washington.
Thomas’ bid to become the 19th in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game ended in the eighth when he flew out.
GIANTS 15, MARLINS 6: In Miami, Brandon Crawford hit his fifth career grand slam, Mike Yastrzemski homered and doubled, and San Francisco, with a season-high five home runs, pounded the Marlins.
DIAMONDBACKS 8, PIRATES 6: In Pittsburgh, rookie Alek Thomas hit two of Arizona’s five home runs, Ketel Marte homered while extending his hitting streak to 15 games and Christian Walker and Jake McCarthy also connected for Arizona.
GUARDIANS 6, ORIOLES 3: In Baltimore, Shane Bieber held the O’s without a hit until the sixth inning and Owen Miller drove in four runs in his first two plate appearances to lead Cleveland.
TWINS 9, BLUE JAYS 3: In Toronto, Kyle Garlick and José Miranda each hit two home runs, Byron Buxton also went deep and Minnesota snapped Toronto’s winning streak at eight.
RAYS 6, WHITE SOX 3: In St. Petersburg, Fla., Randy Arozarena homered, Ji-Man Choi drove in three runs and Shane McClanahan won his fourth consecutive start for Tampa Bay.
MARINERS 4, RANGERS 3: In Arlington, Texas, Eugenio Suárez hit a two-run homer with one out in the ninth off closer Joe Barlow, and Seattle rallied past Texas.
ASTROS 10, ROYALS 3: In Kansas City, Mo., Yordan Álvarez, Aledmys Díaz and Martín Maldonado each homered and Houston won its fifth straight.
Álvarez’s 15 home runs are second in the American League behind the Yankees’ Aaron Judge.
RED SOX 7, ATHLETICS 2: In Oakland, Calif., Xander Bogaerts homered and drove in three runs to celebrate becoming the career leader in games played by a Boston.
The A’s fell to 7-21 at home — their worst start at the Coliseum since moving from Kansas City in 1968.
