AROUND THE HORN
Rangers: Marcus Semien extended MLB’s longest hitting streak this season to 23 games, Jonah Heim homered and drove in five runs, and the Rangers’ offense kept rolling Sunday in a 12-3 victory at home that finished a sweep of the Mariners. Corey Seager also went deep as the Rangers won consecutive games by a combined score of 28-9 after taking the series opener 2-0. The AL West leaders scored at least 10 runs for a major league-leading 16th time in 58 games and have won five straight series, their longest streak in five years. Nathan Eovaldi (8-2) allowed one hit with seven strikeouts in six scoreless innings for his seventh consecutive victory. The right-hander has a 0.68 ERA in his last seven starts, a stretch that includes a career-best streak of 29 scoreless innings and two complete games. He began the day as the only pitcher in the majors with multiple complete games. All nine hitters in the starting lineup had at least one hit as the Rangers finished with 15 a day after pounding out a season-high 19. Rookie third baseman Josh Jung had three hits. Just as he did in a 16-6 Rangers victory Saturday, Semien extended his career-best hitting streak with a leadoff double in the first inning. He has reached base in 31 consecutive games, also a career high.
Pirates: Rich Hill kept the Cardinals off balance in his longest start of the season and the host Pirates completed a three-game sweep with a 2-1 victory. The 43-year-old Hill (5-5) allowed just four hits in 6 innings, walking three and striking out six. Ji Hwan Bae’s two-run single in the first was all the offense the Pirates needed as they extended their winning streak to five. Andrew Knizner hit his seventh home run of the season for the Cardinals, who have lost five of six. The Cardinals

Blue Jays: Brandon Belt broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run HR and the visiting Blue Jays beat the Mets 6-4 for a three-game sweep. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also went deep for the Jays, who blew a four-run lead but quickly recovered. The Jays have won four straight and six of seven. Tommy Pham hit two of the Mets’ four solo HRs. Pete Alonso and Starling Marte also connected for the Mets, who fell back to .500. Alonso leads the majors with 21 HRs.
Marlins: Luis Arraez hit a tiebreaking infield single in the eighth and the Marlins beat the Athletics 7-5 to complete a threegame sweep. Joey Wendle doubled against A’s reliever Austin Pruitt to lead off the inning, then advanced on Jacob Stallings’ single. Stallings took second on RF Ramon Laureano’s throw to the plate as Wendle remained at third. One out later, Arraez hit a hard smash against Sam Moll that went off 2B Aledmys Diaz’s glove and drove in Wendle to give the Marlins a 6-5 lead. The A’s lost their 14th straight on the road. Yuli Gurriel had three hits and Garrett Cooper went deep for the Marlins. Tanner Scott (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth, and Dylan Floro closed with a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks extended manager Torey Lovullo’s contract through the 2024 season. The deal is the third straight one-year extension for the longest-tenured manager in team history. Lovullo is 446-483 in seven seasons, with one playoff appearance. The Diamondbacks enter Sunday’s game against the Braves 35-24, tied with the Dodgers for the best record in the NL.
