AROUND THE HORN

-

Angels: DH Albert Pujols went on the 10-day disabled list Friday with left knee inflammati­on. The move came one night after he hit two home runs to tie Ken Griffey Jr. for sixth place on the career list with 630.

Indians: RHP Corey Kluber received an injection in his right knee and will miss the All-Star Game. Kluber needs a week to recover from the injection and the team said he will not make his next start until July 23.

Yankees: Closer Aroldis Chapman won’t pitch in the All-Star Game in order to rest his sore left knee. Chapman, who has made the All-Star team five times, is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA and 25 saves in 40 appearance­s.

Astros: RHP Charlie Morton was added to the American League All-Star team, giving the Astros a major-league-leading six players in Tuesday’s game. Morton, who is 11-2 with a 2.96 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 19 starts, joins fellow RHPs Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole, 2B Jose Altuve, OF George Springer and 3B Alex Bregman on the squad.

Phillies: OF Aaron Altherr drove in his first run of July and later started a sensationa­l relay to protect the lead, helping RHP Jake Arrieta and the National League East-leading Phillies top the Marlins 2-0. Arrieta pitched seven innings of three-hit ball.

Pirates: 1B Josh Bell tied a career high with four hits, OF Gregory Polanco homered and both drove in two runs to lead the Pirates to a 7-3 victory over the Brewers, whose NL Central lead was cut to a half-game. RHP Nick Kingham tied a career high with nine strikeouts in 61⁄ innings.

Mets: RHP Noah Syndergaar­d pitched out of trouble in a rusty return from the disabled list and helped himself with an RBI single as the Mets beat the Nationals 4-2. SS Amed Rosario tripled and doubled, both times over Bryce Harper’s head in center field, and the Mets won for only the sixth time in their last 26 home games.

Orioles: RHP Darren O’Day underwent season- ending surgery on his left hamstring.
