NEW YORK — Domingo Germán pitched seven strong innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors and the New York Yankees beat Baltimore 8-3 on Tuesday night, running their winning streak over the Orioles to 15 games.
Germán allowed two runs, five hits, struck out seven, walked one and won his career-high seventh straight decision.
BRAVES 5, METS 3
In Atlanta, Ronald Acuña Jr. homered and threw out a runner at the plate to back Max Fried’s fifth straight win, leading the Braves past New York.
Acuña sparked a two-run first against Zack Wheeler by leading off with a long single off the wall in right-center, coming around to score his 100th run of the season. In the fourth, he lined a 409-foot drive into the left-field seats for his 34th homer.
RED SOX 7, INDIANS 6 (10 INNINGS)
In Cleveland, Jackie Bradley Jr. homered with one out in the 10th inning as Boston edged the Indians after blowing a late lead and potential win for ace Chris Sale.
Rafael Devers had six hits — four doubles — and made a costly error at third base for the Red Sox, who won for just the fourth time in 16 games.
NATIONALS 3, REDS 1
In Washington, Brian Dozier hit his 17th home run and Juan Soto hit a second-deck shot for his 25th, and Joe Ross extended his scoreless streak to 17⅓ innings as the Nationals beat Cincinnati.

BLUE JAYS 3, RANGERS 0
In Toronto, five Blue Jays pitchers combined on a five-hitter, Teoscar Hernandez and Billy McKinney hit back-to-back home runs, and the Blue Jays beat slumping Texas.
Texas has lost six of seven, a stretch in which the Rangers have been shut out twice and scored more than three runs just once.
DODGERS 15, MARLINS 1
In Miami, rookie Will Smith had his first two-homer game, and Los Angeles twice hit back-to-back homers in a rout of the Marlins.
Cody Bellinger tied a career high with his 39th home run and Justin Turner hit his 20th for the Dodgers, who totaled six homers, a season-high 13 extra-base hits and no singles until there were two out in the ninth.
ASTROS 6, WHITE SOX 2, 1ST GAME; WHITE SOX 4, ASTROS 1, 2ND GAME
In Chicago, Ivan Nova tossed a four-hitter and the White Sox took advantage of an injury to Houston ace Gerrit Cole for a win and split of a doubleheader.
Houston won the first game behind six solid innings from Zack Greinke in his second start with the Astros and solo home runs by George Springer and José Altuve.
MARINERS 11, TIGERS 6
In Detroit, Kyle Seager homered three times and Tom Murphy added two to lead Seattle past the Tigers.
Seager and Murphy hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and sixth innings before Seager added his third in the ninth. It was the first three-homer game of Seager’s career.
CARDINALS 2, ROYALS 0
In Kansas City, Mo., Jack Flaherty tossed seven innings of three-hit ball, Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt drove in the only runs and St. Louis beat the Royals.
Flaherty (6-6) struck out seven with a lone walk. The right-hander headed for the showers after throwing 110 pitches, and the St. Louis bullpen nailed down the win. Carlos Martínez got the final two outs, completing the four-hitter and earning his 13th save.
PHILLIES 4, CUBS 2
In Philadelphia, J.T. Realmuto homered and drove in the tiebreaking run with an RBI double in the seventh inning to lift the Phillies over Chicago.
