Angels’ rally beats Dodgers in ninth inning

ANAHEIM — Ben Revere scored the winning run from second base on a passed ball and a throwing error by catcher Yasmani Grandal, and the Los Angeles Angels blew a ninth-inning lead before beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Cameron Maybin ended up with a walk-off strikeout of sorts when Grandal lost control of Pedro Baez’s third strike and then put his throw over Chase Utley’s head at first, allowing Revere to score in bizarre fashion.

• Nationals 8, Cubs 4 — At Washington: Stephen Strasburg struck out 13 in seven innings, Bryce Harper had two doubles and two RBIs, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs.

Anthony Rendon and Matt Wieters hit back-to-back homers against John Lackey (5-9) during Washington’s four-run second inning. After the Cubs pulled within three at 6-3, Daniel Murphy went deep in the fifth.

• Indians 5, Rangers 3 — At Cleveland: Trevor Bauer pitched into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley drove in two runs and Cleveland got the win in manager Terry Francona’s return to the team.

Francona was cleared to come back after another health scare forced him to leave Monday’s game and miss Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Texas. The 58-year-old Francona has been fitted with a heart monitor, but he said doctors have ruled out any serious health issues.

• Mets 8, Marlins 0 — At Miami: Steven Matz pitched seven innings and two relievers completed a seven-hitter, helping the Mets to the victory.

Asdrubal Cabrera and Curtis Granderson each hit a two-run homer in support of Matz (2-1), who allowed six hits, all singles, and one walk while lowering his ERA to 2.67 in four starts this year.

• Reds 4, Brewers 3 — At Cincinnati: Scooter Gennett hit a two-run homer against the club that decided he no longer fit its rebuilding plans, and Billy Hamilton scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning for Cincinnati.

The Brewers lost starter Chase Anderson to a strained oblique. Anderson hurt his left side while striking out in the top of the second inning, a notable setback to the NL Central leaders. He is second on the club with six wins.

• Blue Jays 4, Orioles 0 — At Toronto: Marcus Stroman pitched five-hit ball into the eighth inning for Toronto, and Jose Bautista and Justin Smoak homered.

Stroman (8-4) bounced back nicely from his worst start of the season, a sevenrun outing at Texas last Thursday. The right-hander allowed five singles and struck out seven to win for the first time since June 10 at Seattle.

• Twins 4, Red Sox 1 — At Boston: Adalberto Mejia pitched 5 2/3 innings in his second straight scoreless start, Max Kepler hit a tworun homer and Minnesota rebounded from two consecutive losses against Boston.

Kepler also had an RBI single, and Miguel Sano added an RBI double to help the Twins improve to 24-11 on the road.

• Royals 8, Tigers 2 — At Detroit: Salvador Perez and Mike Moustakas hit consecutive homers during Kansas City’s four-run fourth inning.

Ian Kennedy (2-6) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings for the Royals, earning his second victory in three starts. He gave up solo homers to Miguel Cabrera and Alex Avila, but only after Kansas City had jumped to a 5-0 lead.

• Pirates 6, Rays 2 — At Pittsburgh: Jose Osuna doubled twice and drove in two runs, rookie Josh Bell hit his 15th homer and Pittsburgh jumped all over Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell.

Osuna’s ground-rule RBI double sparked a four-run rally with two out in the first. Bell led off the fourth with a home run and Osuna added another RBI double in the fifth.

• Phillies 5, Mariners 4 — At Seattle: Tommy Joseph led off the ninth inning with his 13th homer and Andrew Knapp added a two-out RBI single, helping the Phillies rally for the road win.

Joseph’s drive to left on a 32 pitch from Edwin Diaz (2-3) was Philadelphia’s first hit since the third inning. Diaz struck out the next two batters, but Cameron Perkins walked and advanced on a balk before Knapp lined a 1-2 pitch into right field to give the Phillies the lead.

• Yankees 12, White Sox 3 — At Chicago: The New York Yankees are not sure how long they will keep Miguel Andujar. Games like this will make it harder to send him back to the minors.

• Padres 7, Braves 4 — At San Diego: Luis Perdomo pitched five scoreless innings and Hunter Renfroe and Cory Spangenberg contributed two RBIs apiece as the San Diego Padres beat the Atlanta Braves.

San Diego’s Carlos Asuaje and Erick Aybar had three hits each.

• Cardinals 4, Diamondbacks 3 — At Phoenix: Adam Wainwright pitched into the seventh inning, Yadier Molina and Jedd Gyorko each drove in two runs and the St. Louis Cardinals held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 Wednesday night.
