Braves top Phillies for seventh straight victory

Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run 10th inning, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 Thursday for their seventh straight win.

The Braves swept the rain-shortened two-game series in their first appearance in Philadelphia since falling to the Phillies in four games during last year's NL Divisional Series.

Ozuna's 14th homer of the season — a long shot to deep left-center off right-hander Yunior Marte — followed a two-run single by Austin Riley after Philadelphia left fielder Kyle Schwarber misplayed a ball that would have been the third out of the inning.

Michael Harris II knocked in the other Atlanta run of the inning, scoring automatic runner Sam Hilliard on a single up the middle.

Four Braves pitchers — starter Bryce Elder, Hoby Minter, Raisel Iglesias and Nick Anderson — didn't give up an earned run in 10 innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out 10. Philadelphia's only run came on Alec Bohm's sacrifice fly, scoring automatic runner J.T. Realmuto in the 10th.

Elder and Philadelphia's Aaron Nola both dominated. Nola pitched six innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five. In his career, the right-hander has a 3.41 ERA in 32 career starts against the Braves.

Elder went seven innings, allowing three hits while walking two and striking out five.

Atlanta had its best scoring chance in the eighth when Harris lead off with a double and advanced to third on Ronald Acuna Jr.'s fly out to right. However, shortstop Trea Turner made two stellar defensive plays — snagging Ozzie Albies' grounder and holding Harris at third for the second out with the infield drawn in, then going deep in the hole to get Ozuna at first for the final out of the inning.

DIAMONDBACKS 5, NATIONALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ketel Marte hit a three-run homer over Washington's bullpen in right field, leading the Diamondbacks to a win after Nationals manager Dave Martinez was ejected for complaining about umpire Doug Eddings' strike zone.

Martinez was irked when shortstop CJ Abrams struck out looking to end the fourth on a pitch that replays showed was low, only for a similar pitch to be called a ball on Arizona's Carson Kelly in the fifth. Martinez argued with Eddings and was thrown out on his way back to the dugout, prompting Martinez to kick dirt and crouch behind the plate to illustrate his displeasure with Eddings' strike zone.

Tommy Henry (4-1) earned his first victory since May 31 for the NL West-leading Diamondbacks, who have won five of seven and moved 16 games over .500 at 46-30. For the makeup of a game postponed June 8 because of poor air quality caused by Canadian wild fires, Arizona returned to

Washington on what was scheduled as an off day between series at Milwaukee and San Francisco.

Last-place Washington completed a 1-6 homestand and has lost 14 of 17. The Nationals made a pair of error and allowed four unearned runs.

Henry gave up one run in 6 2/3 innings with five strikeouts and one walk, allowing Lane Thomas' third-inning homer. A day after getting a six-out save against the Brewers, Scott McGough got two outs for his fifth save in eight chances.

Jake Irvin (1-4) allowed two runs — one earned — and five hits in six innings, his longest outing since working 6 1/3 innings at San Francisco on May 8. The right-hander is winless in seven starts.

Corbin Carroll scored from first when center fielder Derek Hill bobbled Christian Walker's single for an error.

Emmanuel Rivera hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth after Carroll singled, stole second and advanced when second baseman Luis García misjudged Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s pop fly into shallow center and allowed the ball to fall for a single.

Alek Thomas reached on García's throwing error that contributed to a four-run seventh. Geraldo Perdomo walked with two outs and Marte hit his 12th homer, a drive off Jordan Weems.

Riley Adams hit a two-run homer off Joe Mantiply in the ninth.

TWINS 6, RED SOX 0

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Joe Ryan pitched a three-hitter for Minnesota's first complete-game shutout in five years, Byron Buxton became the first player in at least nine seasons to hit a pair of 460-foot home runs in a game and the Twins beat the Red Sox.

Ryan (8-4) pitched his first complete game in 47 big league starts, striking out nine, walking none and facing no more than four batters in an inning. He had not pitched a complete game since 2018 for Cal State, Stanislaus.

Buxton hit a 466-foot home run in the first inning and a 465-foot drive in the third, his ninth multi-homer game and first since June 10 last year. He is the first player with two 460-foot homers since Statcast started tracking in 2015.

Minnesota got back to .500 at 38-38 and leads the AL Central.

Carlos Correa homered to the second deck in left field off Justin Garza (1-1), making his first career start as the Red Sox opener. Two batters later, Buxton hit a ball to the third deck, 3 feet shy of his longest career home run.

Buxton's second home run landed in the second deck above the bullpens, a rarity at Target Field, and boosted the lead to 5-0 in the third inning.

Brandon Walter, a 26-year-old left-hander recalled from Triple-A Worcester, gave up Buxton's home run. He allowed three earned runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings in his major league debut.

GUARDIANS 6, ATHLETICS 1

CLEVELAND (AP) — Josh Bell homered off an “Ohio” sign beyond the left-field wall and Myles Straw hit an RBI triple, leading the Guardians to a win and a three-game sweep of the Athletics, who lost their eighth straight.

Bell's 430-foot shot in the fifth inning off JP Sears (1-5) smacked the “H” on the sign affixed to a pedestrian walkway in Progressive Field. The blast tied it and Straw put Cleveland ahead in the inning with his two-out shot to left.

The A's were still within 2-1 in the eighth before reliever Yacksel Rios allowed four runs on two wild pitches and two bases-loaded walks.

Nick Sandlin (3-3) pitched two hitless innings in relief of Cleveland starter Logan Allen. Enyel De Los Santos worked two innings — getting a double play to end the seventh — and Eli Morgan finished the combined three-hitter.

Sears didn't allow Cleveland a baserunner until the fourth, when José Ramírez fouled off three pitches with two strikes before grounding a two-out single into left. Ramírez, though, was thrown out trying to steal by A's catcher Carlos Pérez.

Sears had faced the minimum through 4 1-3 innings before Bell connected for his seventh homer this season and 500th career RBI. Andrés Giménez followed with a bloop single and stole second before Straw, who hasn't homered since Aug. 26, 2021 — more than 1,000 plate appearances — tripled.

Sears allowed just four hits and struck out eight in seven innings.

Tony Kemp's speed helped the A's take a 1-0 lead in the fifth on Aledmys Diaz's sacrifice fly.

After drawing a leadoff walk, Kemp was running when Esteury Ruiz hit a grounder to short. Kemp never slowed while rounding second and beat first baseman Bell's throw to third. Diaz followed with his fly to deep center.

PADRES 10, GIANTS 0

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Manny Machado and Gary Sánchez hit three-run homers and the Padres beat San Francisco to end the Giants' 10-game winning streak.

Blake Snell (4-6) won his third straight decision, striking out 11 and allowing three singles in six innings as the Padres avoided getting swept in a fourgame series for the first time since 2017. Snell has an 18-inning scoreless streak and has allowed one run over 31 innings in his last five starts.

Snell, García and Ray Kerr combined to retire San Francisco's last 13 batters in the Padres' eighth shutout this season.

San Francisco batters struck out 14 times in the Giants' seventh shutout loss.

Ha-Seong Kim added a solo homer for the Padres, who went 5 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

Sánchez stopped an 0-for-22 slump with his threerun homer in the first off Alex Wood (2-2). Sánchez added a pair of singles to finish 3 for 5. Machado doubled the lead in the third with his 10th homer.

Wood allowed six runs, four hits and four walks in 3 1/3 innings.

Kim homered in the fourth off Jakob Junis. Jake Cronenworth added an RBI single in the fifth, and Nelson Cruz followed with a two-run double.

Juan Soto had his fourth straight multihit game, going 2 for 3 with a walk and two runs.
