AROUND THE HORN
Yankees: Josh Donaldson hit a 10th-inning sacrifice fly, and the Yankees came from behind twice to beat the Tigers 5-4 on Sunday in New York to reach the one-third mark of the season at 39-15, the best in the major leagues in 21 years. Joey Gallo’s two-run homer in the fifth off overcame an early deficit and the Yankees won for the 10th time in 12 games, completing a three-game sweep of the Tigers and extending their winning streak to six. Their 39-15 record is the winningest after the season’s first third since the 2001 Mariners were 42-12. “Just a lot of guys with a hand in the victory again,” manager Aaron Boone said. Anthony Rizzo tied the score 4-4 in the eighth after he was hit near the left knee by a bounced pitch, stole second and continued to third when second baseman Jonathan Schoop allowed the ball to bounce of his glove for an error. Rizzo slid home when third Harold Castro’s high throw on Gleyber Torres’ RBI grounder glanced off Eric Haase’s mitt for another error. With Aaron Judge as the automatic runner in the 10th, Rizzo reached on an infield single off off Gregory Soto (2-3) that Schoop knocked down on the right side of second. Donaldson followed with a drive to the left-field warning track for his 13th big league walkoff, his second this year and the Yankees’ sixth. Ending a rare 11:30 a.m. start, Donaldson’s fly ball gave the Yankees their 20th home win 24 games and a MLB-best 23-7 home mark. Michael King (3-1) struck out the side in the 10th. Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery allowed two runs and five hits in 6 innings. The Yankees ended a streak of five straight games allowing one run or fewer, their most since six in a row from Sept. 24-30, 1978 . ... Yankees OF Miguel Andujar reportedly requested a trade after he was demoted to the minors last week. Andujar, 27, has appeared in 12 games this season with the firstplace Yankees, including 10 starts in left field. He’s batting .268 with three RBIs in 41 at-bats.
Bryson Stott hit a game-winning, three-run HR with two outs in the ninth after Bryce Harper tied it with a grand slam in the eighth, and the Phillies rallied for a 9-7 victory that sent slumping Mike Trout and the visiting Angels to their 11th straight defeat. It was the fourth victory in a row for the Phillies, who have won all three games under interim manager Rob Thomson since he took over when Joe Girardi was fired Friday. The Phillies outscored the Angels 26-9 while sweeping the three-game series. Trout went 0-for-3 and is hitless in his last 26 at-bats, the longest drought of his decorated career. The three-time MVP did walk and score a run for the Angels, whose last win came May 24. A native of nearby Millville, N.J., the nine-time All-Star finished the series 0-for-11 with four strikeouts against his hometown team and is 2-for-20 with seven strikeouts in five career games in Philadelphia. The Angels are on their longest losing streak since an 11-game slide in August 2016 . ... The Angels placed OF Taylor Ward on the 10-day IL with a mild right hamstring strain. The move was retroactive to Saturday. Ward is enjoying what could be a career-best season, hitting .333 with 10 HRs and 26 RBIs.
Padres: Jake Cronenworth hit a threerun HR in the 10th and the Padres extended their winning streak to three games with a 6-4 road victory over the Brewers. Trevor Gott (1-1) pitched the 10th for the Brewers because All-Star closer Josh Hader had worked the ninth after the Brewers tied the game at 3 on Kolten Wong’s second HR of the game in the eighth. Wong also led off the game with a HR. It was the only run allowed by Padres RHP Mike Clevinger, who struck out five over three innings in his first start back from a two-week stint on the IL. The Padres wiped out that deficit in the fifth, scoring three runs off Brewers LHP Eric Lauer. Only two were earned, though, because of an error by SS Pablo Reyes.
