Judge hits 43rd HR as Yankees beat Mariners

-

Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 43rd home run, Jose Trevino had his first multihomer game and the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 7-2 on Monday in a series opener between teams bulking up for the postseason.

Anthony Rizzo started the onslaught with a three-run homer in the first, and New York clinched its 31st consecutiv­e winning record at home (41-13), second only to its big league standard of 47 in row from 1918-64.

Before the game, the Yankees acquired starter Frankie Montas and reliever Lou Trivino from Oakland, three days after Seattle obtained Luis Castillo.

After Kyle Lewis' solo homer in the second against Domingo Germán (1-1), Judge hit a tworun drive in the bottom half. Judge also leads the majors with 93 RBIs.

PADRES 4, ROCKIES 1 >> Jurickson Profar homered for the third straight game and Mike Clevinger pitched seven impressive innings for San Diego in the win over Colorado.

Trent Grisham also connected for the Padres, who won for just the fourth time in 12 games against the pesky Rockies this season.

Profar homered on the second pitch from Antonio Senzatela (3-6), his third career leadoff homer and the first time he's ever homered in three consecutiv­e games. His shot to right field was his 12th. Profar also made a diving catch of Randal Grichuk's sinking liner in left field for the second out of the fourth.

Wil Myers returned from a two-month stay on the injured list with right knee inflammati­on and promptly got his 500th career RBI on a groundout to give San Diego a 3-0 lead in the first.

METS 7, NATIONALS 3 >> Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor homered, Max Scherzer defeated his former team, and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals for their seventh consecutiv­e victory on the eve of ace Jacob deGrom's season debut.

Washington slugger Juan Soto homered off Scherzer (7-2) in what could be his final game with the Nationals. Soto, who walked in his other three plate appearance­s, is perhaps the biggest star who could be dealt before Tuesday's trade deadline.

Several teammates could also leave Washington as the Nationals, who own the majors' worst record at 35-69 and have lost four of five, look to sell for the second consecutiv­e year.

Corbin (4-15), who leads the majors in losses, allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings while striking out four. He has lost five consecutiv­e starts, posting a 10.29 ERA in that span.

REDS 3, MARLINS 1 >> Rookie Hunter Greene won for the first time in nearly two months, allowing one hit in six scoreless innings to lead the Reds over the reeling Marlins.

Albert Almora Jr. had three hits, including two doubles, in his first game off the injured list. Joey Votto walked twice and singled for the Reds, who won their third in a row as they began a four-city, 10-game trip.

Cincinnati outfielder Tommy Pham was in the original lineup, then removed and traded to Boston for a player to be named or cash. ORIOLES 7, RANGERS 2 >> Cedric Mullins homered leading off Baltimore's first game without Trey Mancini, Anthony Santander extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an RBI single and the Orioles matched their 2021 win total with a win over the Rangers.

Hours after the Orioles traded their longestten­ured player and fan favorite, with Mancini going to Houston in a three-team deal, they won their 52nd game to get back over .500 and within 2 1/2 games of the American League's final wildcard spot. Baltimore was 52-110 last season.

Spenser Watkins (4-1) struck out five without a walk over six innings. The only run allowed by the right-hander was on a solo homer by Corey Seager in the sixth inning.

TWINS 5, TIGERS 3, 10 INNINGS >> Gio Urshela hit a game-ending, two-run homer in the 10th inning and Jose Miranda had three RBIs as the Twins came back to beat the Tigers and maintain their one-game lead in the AL Central. Miranda hit a tying, two-run single in the eighth, long after Tigers starter Tarik Skubal was pulled following five scoreless innings with left arm fatigue.

GUARDIANS 6, DIAMONDBAC­KS 5, 11 INNINGS >>

Amed Rosario homered early and singled in the winning run in the 11th inning for his third hit of the game as the Guardians beat the Diamondbac­ks. Rosario hit a line drive past a diving Christian Walker at first base and into right field to score rookie Will Benson from third, setting off a celebratio­n behind the mound.
