Urshela, Yankees rally to beat A’s

NEW YORK — Gio Urshela stayed in the game despite a shard of a broken bat hitting an eye and hit a go-ahead homer after the New York Yankees rallied from a three-run deficit in a 7-5 victory Saturday that stopped the Oakland Athletics’ seven-game winning streak.

Aroldis Chapman struck out Matt Chapman on a 103.4 mph pitch to strand two runners in the ninth. His final pitch was Chapman’s fastest on a strikeout since the 2017 AL wild card game.

Urshela’s bat splinted when he grounded into a double play in the second inning.

Urshela singled in New York’s first run in the fourth and put the Yankees ahead 5-4 in the eighth when he lifted a 98.6 mph fastball from Jesus Luzardo (2-4) into the netting above Monument Park in center.

Oakland had built a 4-1 lead off Domingo German on solo homers by Tony Kemp and Matt Chapman, and Matt Olson’s two-run single in the fifth.

MARLINS 11, CUBS 1: Adam Duvall homered twice in the second straight game, Pablo Lopez pitched one-hit ball over seven innings and Miami pounded Chicago at Wrigley Field. The Marlins have outscored the NL Central leaders 21-3 through the first two games. Duvall had two-run shots in the first and third against Jake Arrieta (5-8), joining Derrek Lee in 2002 and Giancarlo Stanton in 2016 as the only Marlins with back-to-back multi-homer games. The only hit Lopez (3-4) allowed was a single to shallow left by Eric Sogard in the second inning.

METS 5, NATIONALS 1: Francisco Lindor had five RBIs on a pair of two-run homers and run-scoring single as New York beat Washington in the opener of a day-night doubleheader at Washington. Lindor homered in the first on a sinker from Joe Ross (3-7), singled in the third on a changeup for a 3-0 lead and homered in the fifth on a slider for his 12th multihomer game.

RED SOX 7, ORIOLES 1: Martin Perez pitched five strong innings and Bobby Dalbec had three hits, including a home run, and drove in three runs as Boston won at Kansas City. Perez (5-4) allowed three hits, one run and struck out three. J.D. Martinez hit his 14th home run for the Red Sox, a two-run shot during a four-run fifth that put Boston ahead to stay.
