Yankees rally from eight down, top O’s

-

Matt Holliday hit a three- run homer in the 10th inning, and the Yankees completed a stunning rally from an eight- run deficit, outsluggin­g the visiting Orioles 14- 11.

In a game of home run derby, Starlin Castro tied it with a two- run drive that capped a three- run burst in the ninth off Brad Brach. Then in the 10th, Holliday hit the eighth home run of the evening— five by the Yankees— with one out off Jayson Aquino ( 1- 1).

Down 9- 1 in the sixth, the Yankees pulled off their biggest comeback since overcoming a 9- 0 gap to beat the Red Sox 15- 9 in 2012.

Mets 7, Nationals 5

Josh Edgin relieved closer Jeurys Familia with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and got Bryce Harper to hit into a game- ending double play. The win halted the Mets’ six- game losing streak.

New York had lost 10 of 11 and put star slugger Yoenis Cespedes on the disabled list before the game with a strained hamstring. Travis d’Arnaud then homered twice and had five RBI for the Mets, who were clinging to a two- run lead when they brought in Familia.

Pirates 12, Marlins 2

Francisco Cervelli drove in three runs, and the Pirates scored eight times in the second inning in a victory over the host Marlins.

Jordy Mercer homered and had two RBI, Josh Harrison had three hits and knocked in two and Andrew McCutchen also drove in a pair of runs for the Pirates, who snapped a six- game losing streak to the Marlins.

This and that

Mariners ace Felix Hernandez is expected to miss three to four weeks because of bursitis in his right shoulder.

Hernandez pitched only two innings in his start at Detroit the previous night. He allowed four runs and threw 48 pitches. Hernandez is 2- 2 with a 4.73 ERA in five starts this season.

Also, Mariners minor- league infielder Miguel Gamboa was suspended for 56 games under baseball’s minor- league drug program after a positive test for a metabolite of nandrolone.

Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, who earlier this month injured his left throwing shoulder in a dirt- biking accident, started rehab for the injury and is expected to be out until after the July 10- 13 All- Star break.

Retired Dodgers broadcaste­r Vin Scully will be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor. The ceremony will be May 3 before a game against the rival Giants.
