Stassi leads rally with 2-run homer
DETROIT — Max Stassi hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels overcame an eight-run deficit to beat the Detroit Tigers 13-10 on Thursday.
Miguel Cabrera drove in four runs to help Detroit open a 10-2 lead after five innings. He had multiple hits for the first time since Aug. 11, when he hit homer No. 499. He grounded out with a chance to reach the milestone and pull the Tigers within a run in the eighth, finishing the day 2 of 5.
Shohei Ohtani went 2 for 3 with two walks, two runs scored and a sacrifice fly for the Angels.
Mike Mayers (4-4) pitched a perfect seventh and Austin Warren earned his first save with two perfect innings.
Michael Fulmer (5-5) took the loss, giving up three runs on three hits and a walk in the pivotal eighth inning.
MARINERS 9, RANGERS 8 (11): Ty France hit a tworun homer in the 11th inning and Seattle completed a three-game sweep of Texas after the Rangers forced extra innings with five runs in the ninth.
France went deep off Joe Barlow (0-1), who would have given up another homer if not for a spectacular inningending leaping catch by Adolis Garcia.
REDS 6, MARLINS 1: Joey Votto slammed a three-run homer, Luis Castillo pitched seven innings of one-run ball and host Cincinnati beat Miami.
Votto’s 428-foot shot into the seats in right-center — his team-leading 27th homer — highlighted the Reds’ fourrun fourth after Miami righthander Nick Neidert had faced the minimum in the first three innings.
METS 4, DODGERS 1: Trea Turner went 2 for 4 and drove in a run to lead host Los Angeles past New York for its seventh straight win.
The Dodgers moved within 2½ games of the NL Westleading San Francisco Giants, who were idle. The defending World Series champions haven’t been in first place since the end of April.
ATHLETICS 5, WHITE SOX 4: Matt Olson slugged a go-ahead two-run homer, Matt Chapman added a solo shot, and visiting Oakland rallied past Chicago.
Sean Murphy also homered as the A’s avoided a sweep in their four-game series with AL Central-leading Chicago. Oakland ended a four-game skid and maintained its grip on the second AL wild-card spot.
