Minor’s two-hitter amid haze

Mike Minor tossed a two-hitter with eight strikeouts, Jake Lamb doubled and homered in his first game after signing with Oakland, and the Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 9-0 in the nightcap of their doubleheader on Monday.

The seven-inning games were played with a haze of smoke hovering above the field at T-Mobile Park, even with the retractable roof of the stadium closed. Wildfires on the West Coast have suffocated much of the Pacific Northwest with unhealthful air conditions.

Seattle won the opener 6-5, rallying from a 5-0 deficit and scoring twice in the sixth with two outs.

The former All-Star Lamb was acquired after Oakland lost Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman last week.

at Marlins 6, Phillies 2: Pablo Lopez gave up one run in seven innings with the help of flashy defense by right fielder Matt Joyce and Miami won the seventh game of the series, the majors’ longest in the regular season in 53 years.

at Reds 9-3, Pirates 4-1: Mike Moustakas hit a big three-run homer in the fifth inning to help Cincinnati sweep the doubleheader.

Cardinals 3-1, at Brewers 2-2: Paul DeJong knocked in the goahead run with a two-out single in the ninth inning as St. Louis got a split of a doubleheader in which both games went to extra innings.

at Orioles 14, Braves 1: DJ Stewart hit the first of three homers in a nine-run third inning as Baltimore ended a five-game losing streak.

at White Sox 3, Twins 1: Adam Engel delivered a tiebreaking pinch-hit single in the eighth inning and Chicago opened the series with its ninth win in 10 games.
