Phillies 6, Braves 4
PHILADELPHIA — Bryson Stott homered, doubled and drove in five runs to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Alec Bohm doubled and had three hits for the Phillies, who rebounded from a threegame sweep at home against the Chicago Cubs last weekend.
Austin Riley had a pair of doubles and Marcell Ozuna had three hits and an RBI for the Braves, who fell two games behind the first-place New York Mets in the NL East.
With the Braves leading by one, A.J. Minter (4-3) got the first two outs in the eighth inning before Bohm and Yairo Muñoz singled to put runners on first and second. Stott then drove a full-count cutter into the seats in right field for his seventh home run, putting the Phillies ahead 6-4.
Red Sox 3, Guardians 1
BOSTON — Cleveland pitcher Zach Plesac threw the ball out of Fenway Park as the grounds crew began to bring out the tarp, and Boston ended a five-game losing streak by beating the Guardians.
Alex Verdugo hit a tiebreaking double and Boston’s bullpen worked 3.1 scoreless innings. The Red Sox remain a half-game ahead of last-place Baltimore in the AL East.
José Ramírez drove in Cleveland’s run with an infield hit. It was the third straight loss for the Guardians.
Yolmer Sánchez hit an RBI single in the third to put Boston ahead 1-0.
Reds 11, Marlins 2

India and Donovan Solano each had three hits as last-place Cincinnati improved to 9-4 in its last 13 games.
Miami had 15 players on its injured list, hurting its chances for staying in the NL wild-card race. The Marlins dropped to 3-12 against the Reds since 2019.
Cincinnati rookie Nick Lodolo (3-3) struck out a career-high nine over six innings. He allowed two unearned runs and five hits.
Orioles 5, Rays 1
BALTIMORE — Ryan Mountcastle hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in a four-run fifth inning that sent Baltimore over Tampa Bay.
Austin Voth and five Baltimore relievers kept Tampa Bay’s offense from delivering the big hit. The Rays left 10 men on base, including six in the first three innings.
Brandon Lowe homered leading off the third for Tampa Bay, but Corey Kluber (6-6) allowed four earned runs in five innings. Nick Vespi (3-0) struck out four in 1.2 innings of relief to earn the win.
Cubs 3, Pirates 2

Mychal Givens (6-2) worked the eighth for the win, and Scott Effross got three outs for his first save in three chances.
Josh VanMeter hit a tying RBI double for the Pirates in the fifth. Oneil Cruz singled home a run, and Yerry De Los Santos (0-2) got the loss.
Rockies 2, Brewers 0
MILWAUKEE — Kyle Freeland pitched four-hit ball over seven innings, Daniel Bard worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and Colorado avoided a four-game sweep with a victory over Milwaukee.
Elias Díaz had a homer that helped the Rockies beat the Brewers for the first time in their last nine meetings.
After failing to get a runner beyond first base through the first eight innings, the Brewers loaded the bases in the ninth against Bard.
Christian Yelich hit a leadoff single to start the rally. Willy Adames followed with a potential double-play grounder, but the Rockies failed to retire anyone as second baseman Brendan Rodgers bobbled the ball and threw late to first. Bard got two outs before walking Rowdy Tellez to move the tying run to second and put the potential winning run at first. Rodgers then snared Luis Urías’ sinking liner to help Bard earn his 21st save in 23 opportunities.
Tigers 12, Padres 4
DETROIT — Eric Haase hit a grand slam off Sean Manaea, Jeimer Candelario homered twice and Detroit routed San Diego.
Miguel Cabrera hit his 506th career homer in the sixth inning and moved past Al Simmons for 13th on the career RBI list with 1,840.
Manaea (5-5) was tagged for a careerworst nine runs in 3.1 innings, and his replacement, left-hander MacKenzie Gore, was pulled with an apparent arm injury.
San Diego, which got a solo homer from Jurickson Profar, lost its second in a row.

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 0
PHOENIX — Merrill Kelly threw eight innings of three-hit ball, Carson Kelly had a pair of doubles and Arizona beat skidding San Francisco for its third win in four games.
Kelly retired the first 15 batters he faced in another stellar performance. Kelly (10-5) lowered his ERA to 3.04, striking out seven and walking none.
The struggling Giants have dropped all five games since the All-Star break. They were swept by the rival Dodgers in a fourgame series over the weekend.
Arizona’s Josh Rojas had two hits and an RBI. He also had a career-high three stolen bases.
Mariners 4, Rangers 3
SEATTLE — Ty France hit his 13th home run as part of a three-hit night, Cal Raleigh added an RBI single and Seattle rebounded from a rough weekend and beat Texas.
Seattle won for the 15th time in 18 games, a stretch of success interrupted over the weekend when the Mariners were swept at home by AL West-leading Houston following a 14-game winning streak. But Texas was a welcome visitor as the Mariners won their sixth straight over the Rangers and improved to 9-2 against them this season.
