AROUND THE HORN

-

■ Blue Jays: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in his second big-league game, Brandon Drury had three hits a day after his winning ninth-inning home run and the Blue Jays extended their winning streak against the Athletics to five with a 7-1 victory. Randal Grichuk had three hits and two RBIs for Toronto. A day after going 1-for-4 with a ninth-inning double in his debut, the 20-year-old Guerrero took a called third strike in the first, lined out in the second, walked leading off the fifth, struck out swinging in the sixth and singled in the eighth on a ball up the middle.

■ Padres: Greg Garcia hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in a six-run 10th inning, and the Padres beat the Nationals 8-3 to extend their winning streak to five. Garcia’s first RBI this season gave San Diego a 3-2 lead against Wander Suero (1-3), who was charged with four runs. After a pair of walks loaded the bases, Justin Miller hit Manny Machado with a pitch on the left elbow. Manuel Margot followed with a two-run single, and Hunter Renfroe hit a sacrifice fly. Another run scored when center fielder Victor Robles’ throw bounced off the glove of catcher Yan Gomes and bounced toward the Padres dugout.

■ Twins: The Twins hit five home runs for the second straight day, including a pair by Max Kepler in a 9-2 rout of the Orioles. C.J. Cron, Jason Castro and Marwin Gonzalez also homered for the Twins, who have 21 home runs against the Orioles this year while going 5-0. Kepler had four RBIs to help back Jose Berrios (4-1), who allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks.

■ Rockies: Charlie Blackmon hit a go-ahead, tworun double, Trevor Story followed with a three-run homer during a ninth-inning rally and the Rockies beat the Braves 9-5 for their 10th win in 12 games. Braves starter Mike Foltynewic­z came off the injured list before the game after being sidelined since spring training with a right elbow bone spur. A 2018 All-Star, Foltynewic­z gave up four runs and six hits in six innings.

■ Yankees: Gary Sanchez hit his first career grand slam in a five-run fifth inning for his first hit following nearly two weeks on the injured list in a 6-4 victory over the Giants. Sanchez had been 0-for-9 with seven strikeouts since returning Wednesday from a strained left calf. The ball left the bat at 111 mph and traveled 467 feet into the left-field seats. “When you get a chance to bring in four runs, it could be just 300 feet and I'll take it,” Sanchez said.

■ Extra innings: Pirates RHP Chris Archer was placed on the 10-day injured list with inflammati­on of the thumb on his pitching hand. Manager Clint Hurdle said Archer felt the thumb issue last weekend against the Giants and again Friday against the Dodgers. Archer is 1-2 with 4.33 ERA in five starts. ... The Tigers-White Sox game was postponed because of snow in Chicago. The game will be made up as part of a split doublehead­er on July 3.
