Matthews propels Leafs past Isles

Gregory Polanco hit a three-run homer in the 13th inning to lift the Pirates to a 13-10 victory over Detroit on Friday at Comerica Park — about an hour after the Tigers spilled onto the field to celebrate what they thought was a gamewinning hit of their own.

Nicholas Castellanos was initially called safe at home in the bottom of the 10th for the Tigers, but a replay review took the run away and the teams played on. Polanco’s drive to right-center on a 3-0 pitch from Alex Wilson finally gave the Pirates a comfortable lead — or as comfortable as could be on a wacky day in which both teams scored four runs in the ninth.

Detroit put two men on base in the 13th, but Steven Brault was able to hold on and finish his third scoreless inning of relief.

By the time the 5-hour, 27-minute game was over, there were only three umpires and one manager left. Plate umpire Mike Everitt exited in the eighth with a concussion after being hit in the mask by a pitch. And Ron Gardenhire — in his first game as Tigers manager — was ejected after the overturned call in the 10th.

Marlins 2, Cubs 1, 17 innings

Miguel Rojas drove in Brian Anderson with a single to center in the 17th inning, and the Marlins topped the Cubs in Miami.

It was the second career game-ending RBI for Rojas, who did it once last year with a sacrifice fly. This one will go into Marlins lore, not only for its 5-hour, 18-minute length — but moreso because it’s the first win of Derek Jeter’s era as Miami’s CEO. Jeter was there until the end, slapping high-fives when it was finally over. It was the longest game ever played at Marlins Park.

Nationals 2, Reds 0

In Cincinnati, Max Scherzer struck out 10 and allowed five hits in six innings and the Nationals, in their first game with Dave Martinez as a major league manager, began defense of their NL East title by opening with a win over the Reds.

Red Sox 1, Rays 0

In St. Petersburg Fla., David Price allowed four singles over seven scoreless innings in Boston’s victory over the Rays

Rafael Devers snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh with a single up the middle that drove in Xander Bogaerts
