Torres hits walkoff homer as Yankees win again

NEW YORK » Gleyber Torres became the youngest Yankees player to hit a walkoff homer, a three-run shot in the ninth inning that gave New York a 7-4 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday for its 15th victory in 16 games.

At 21 years and 144 days, bettered Mickey Mantle, who was 21 years and 185 days when he hit three-run, ninth-inning drive of Boston’s Ellis Kinder in a 6-3 win on April 23, 1953. ANGELS 8, MARINERS 2 » Shohei Ohtani returned from a sprained ankle and took a shutout into the seventh inning while outpitching Felix Hernandez, Mike Trout hit his 12th home run and the Angels beat the Mariners.

Ohtani (3-1) made his first start on the mound since April 24. The two-way Japanese star looked to be completely in rhythm and showed no effects, striking out six. DIAMONDBACKS 3, ASTROS 1» Matt Koch outpitched Justin Verlander to become the first pitcher to beat MVPs in consecutive starts in at least 71 years, lifting the Diamondbacks to a victory over the Astros.

Koch (2-0) outlasted Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in his previous start and faced Verlander to become the first pitcher since 1947 to face different MVPs in consecutive starts. BLUE JAYS 2, RAYS 1 » Kevin Pillar scored the tiebreaking run on Alex Colome’s wild pitch in the ninth inning, and the Blue Jays beat the Rays to stop a three-game losing streak.

Blue Jays shortstop Aledmys Diaz was carted off the field in the fifth inning after spraining his left ankle. Diaz drove in a run with an infield single to first baseman Brad Miller and hit the side of the base while trying to avoid a collision with pitcher Chris Archer, who was covering.

Pillar doubled off Colome (2-4) leading off the ninth, advanced on Kendrys Morales’ grounder and came home without a throw when Colome bounced a pitch off the mitt of catcher Wilson Ramos, who tried for a backhand pickup. TWINS 5, WHITE SOX 3 » Chicago’s James Shields pitched a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the Twins rallied late for a victory over the White Sox.

With the Twins trailing 2-0, Eduardo Escobar broke up the no-hitter with a one-out single in the seventh. ROYALS 4, TIGERS 2 » The Royals won a series for the first time in 11 tries this season, beating the Tigers as Mike Moustakas drove in three runs with a double and sacrifice fly.

Kansas City took three of four from the Tigers. The Royals had lost nine previous series this year and split one. RED SOX 6, RANGERS 1 » Chris Sale struck out 12, J.D. Martinez homered again and the Red Sox beat the Rangers to maintain their AL East lead heading into a highly anticipated showdown at Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox hold a major league-best 25-9 record and a one-game lead over the Yankees. Boston and New York tangled earlier this season at Fenway Park, and the Yankees have won 15 of 16 overall entering this three-game set that begins Tuesday night. ROCKIES 3, METS 2 » Ian Desmond hit a pair of solo homers, including a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning that sent the Rockies over the sagging Mets for their season-high fifth straight win.

The Mets finished an 0-6 homestand, getting swept by Atlanta and Colorado, in which they were outscored 34-11 and shut out three times. GIANTS 4, BRAVES 3 » Andrew Suarez outpitched Mike Soroka in a rookie matchup, and San Francisco survived Atlanta’s ninth-inning rally for a win and the Giants’ first series sweep of the Braves in four years.

Suarez (1-1) allowed only one unearned run and seven hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings. PIRATES 9, BREWERS 0 » Chad Kuhl and Richard Rodrguez combined on a two-hitter, leading the Pirates over the Brewers.

Adam Frazier, Jordy Mercer and Josh Bell hit solo homers for the Pirates. ATHLETICS 2, ORIOLES 1 » Andrew Triggs allowed two hits over seven innings, Khris Davis and Matt Olson drove in runs and the Athletics rallied to beat Baltimore and extend the Orioles’ losing streak to six games.

Triggs (3-1) struck out nine and retired his last 12 batters. Blake Treinen finished the three-hitter for his fifth save in seven chances. PADRES 3, DODGERS 0 » Eric Hosmer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer for the second straight day, rookie Eric Lauer got his first major league win and the Padres beat the Dodgers to take two of three in Major League Baseball’s first regular-season series in Mexico since 1999.

Los Angeles put Clayton Kershaw on the disabled list before the game with left biceps tendinitis, and the defending NL champions said their ace had returned to Los Angeles to be examined. MARLINS 8, REDS 5 » Starlin Castro drove in three runs for the second straight game, Cameron Maybin added two hits and two RBIs and the Marlins won their fourth straight series, holding on against the Reds.

J.T. Realmuto reached base four times and scored twice for the Marlins, who won the last two games of the series after losing Friday’s opener.
