Rex Sox pound White Sox 16-3, extend win streak to 6 games

-

Trevor Story and Christian Vazquez each hit a three-run home run and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox set season highs in runs and hits in a 16-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.

Story’s homer off Dylan Cease capped a four-run first inning. Vazquez hit a three-run shot off Matt Foster to highlight a six-run sixth. Kike Hernandez hit Cease’s first pitch for a homer, and Rafael Devers led off the fourth with a homer off Jose Ruiz as the Red Sox extended their winning streak to six games.

The White Sox fell for the fourth time in seven games.

Yankees 7, Orioles 6: At New York, Jose Trevino hit a game-ending single in the 11th inning and New York overcame injuries to two All-stars to end their first threegame skid of the season. Trevino hit his second homer of the season earlier in the game and also had a tying single in the seventh.

He raised his arms as he rounded first, then was swarmed near second base by teammates. The first-year Yankee, acquired just before opening day as a glovefirst catcher, put his hands on his head and looked around Yankee Stadium in apparent disbelief.

The former Texas Ranger cried during a postgame interview on the field, which he began by directing sympathies to victims of a shooting Tuesday that killed 19 children in a Texas elementary school. The 29-year-old is from Corpus Christi.

“My thoughts and prayers to everybody in Texas,” he said.

The Yankees lost DJ Lemahieu and Giancarlo Stanton, the latest on a growing list of health concerns for the AL’S top team. Lemahieu was scratched shortly before first pitch with left wrist discomfort, and Stanton was replaced by pinch-hitter Estevan Florial in the seventh due to right calf tightness.

Giants 13, Mets 12: At San Francisco, Joc Pederson homered three times and drove in a career-high eight runs, including a tying single with two outs in the ninth inning, and San Francisco outslugged New York. Brandon Crawford hit a game-ending single off closer Edwin Díaz and the Giants — after blowing a late six-run lead — somehow recovered to pull off two improbable comebacks of their own.
