Frelick is lights-out, but Yankees win in 13

Milwaukee rookie Sal Frelick preserved a no-hit bid with a leaping catch in the 10th inning that kept the game scoreless, but the host New York Yankees rallied to beat the Brewers, 4-3, on Sunday when Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer in the 12th and Kyle Higashioka hit a winning double in the 13th.

Corbin Burnes pitched eight hitless innings and Devin Williams worked a 12-3 ninth. With two on in the 10th against Abner Uribe — one the automatic runner the other on a walk — Anthony Volpe hit a drive to right and Frelick truly made a lights-out catch, leaping against the wall, knocking out the lights on the video board, and catching the ball as he elbowed center fielder Joey Wiemer in the mouth.

Milwaukee’s Tyrone Taylor hit a runscoring single in the 11th off Nick Ramirez. With Milwaukee bidding for the first 11-inning no-hitter in major league history, Oswaldo Cabrera hit a tying RBI double with one out off Joel Payamps.

Joey Wiemer had an RBI double and Andrew Monasterio a sacrifice fly in the 12th, but Stanton homered off Andrew Chafin in the bottom half.

Higashioka doubled in the 13th off Hoby Milner (2-1), a drive over Taylor in left that scored automatic runner Everson Pereira for Higashioka’s first walkoff hit.

Burnes struck out seven and walked two in eight innings. Burnes, a 28-yearold righthander, has not thrown a complete game in 103 big league starts.

Gerrit Cole allowed three hits in seven innings, lowering his AL-leading ERA to 2.79. He struck out nine and walked none, and with 204 strikeouts became the first Yankees pitcher with three 200-strikeout seasons.

During the game, the Yankees found out that 20-year-old rookie Jasson

Domínguez has a torn ligament in his throwing elbow and needs Tommy John surgery, interrupting an impressive start to his major league career.

Rays pull rank on Mariners

Zach Eflin tied for the American League lead with his 14th win, and the host Rays beat the Mariners, 6-3, to take three of four in a series between playoff contenders. Tampa Bay has a 7½-game lead over Toronto for the top AL wild card and 8½-game advantage over Seattle in the final wild-card spot.

Eflin (14-8) set a franchise record with his 11th home victory in a single season. The Rays’ bullpen has not allowed an earned run in 21„ innings.

Blue Jays enjoy wild win

Kevin Kiermaier hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the seventh inning and the host Blue Jays took advantage of three consecutive wild pitches by Cole Ragans to beat the Royals, 5-2, completing a three-game sweep and handing the major league-worst Royals (44-100) their fourth straight loss.

Kiermaier broke a 2-2 tie with a home run off righthander Taylor Clarke (2-5), his eighth. Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio made it 5-2 with RBI singles off Jackson Kowar in the eighth.

Ragans extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 with five shutout innings to begin the game, but his outing unraveled in the sixth. Ragans issued consecutive two-out walks to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Davis Schneider .Ragans slipped and threw wildly to the backstop on his first pitch to Alejandro Kirk as both runners moved up.

“A complete outlier,” manager Matt Quatraro said of Ragans’s strange sixth. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Braves first in playoffs

Matt Olson went 2 for 3 with three RBIs as the Braves (93-49) became the first team to clinch a playoff berth with a 5-2 win over the visiting Pirates . . . Kyle Tucker hit a pair of RBI triples in eight-run sixth inning and Jose Altuve homered and drove in three runs as the AL West-leading Astros routed the visiting Padres, 12-2. The defending champions are a season-high 20 games over .500 at 82-62. Tucker became the first Houston player to triple twice in an inning, and is the first major leaguer to do it since Colorado’s Cory Sullivan on April 9, 2006, at San Diego. Tucker also walked in the fourth, stole two bases, and then scored on an error by third baseman Eguy Rosario ... Bryan De La Cruz hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and the visiting Marlins, held hitless until the seventh, rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Phillies. Dane Myers broke up a no-hit bid by Ranger Suárez with a one-out double in the seventh. Yuli Gurriel drove in two runs for the Marlins, who pulled within a half-game of Arizona for the final NL wild-card spot.
