Dodgers win 10th in row, beat Rockies

-

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers found a new way to extend their winning streak to 10 games, scoring five runs on four wild pitches to go along with two more homers from rookie sensation Cody Bellinger in rallying past the Colorado Rockies 12-6 on Sunday.

Bellinger has 24 home runs, helping the Dodgers stretch their longest string since they won 10 straight in August 2013. Colorado lost its season-worst fifth in a row.

DIAMONDBAC­KS 2, PHILLIES 1 (11 INNINGS)

In Phoenix, Daniel Descalso lined a run-scoring single in the 11th inning, and the Diamondbac­ks extended the best start in franchise history.

Paul Goldschmid­t, who had a run-scoring single in the fourth inning, singled against Edubray Ramos (0-7) in the 11th and Chris Owings walked after fouling off several pitches. Descalso lined a ball through the right side and Goldschmid­t scored just ahead of the throw. Arizona has won 11 of 13 and is 48-28 overall.

In Cleveland, Ervin Santana struck out seven in six innings, Jason Castro drove in three runs and the Twins swept the Indians.

RANGERS 7, YANKEES 6

In New York, Adrian Beltre, ShinSoo Choo and Drew Robinson homered off Michael Pineda, and the Rangers held on for the road win.

Robinson’s solo shot was his first major league hit and put Texas up 7-0 in the fourth inning. The Rangers improved to 11-5 over their past 16 games.

BLUE JAYS 8, ROYALS 2

In Kansas City, Mo., Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning a day after saying he was dealing with anxiety issues.

In Miami, the Cubs wasted a fine pitching performanc­e by Mike Montgomery, stranding 11 runners and allowing three unearned runs.

BREWERS 7, BRAVES 0

In Atlanta, Travis Shaw became the first player to reach SunTrust Park’s right-field roof, belting a long two-run homer for the Brewers.

In St. Louis, Randal Grichuk homered in his return to the majors, Yadier Molina had three hits and the Cardinals beat Pittsburgh.
