D-backs rally, move into tie for first place
Corbin Carroll had a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 on Thursday to tie the idle Los Angeles Dodgers for a share of the NL West lead.
Gabriel Moreno walked with one out against Pierce Johnson (0-2), and Ketel Marte doubled with two outs, moving Moreno to third. With first base open and Christian Walker on deck, the Rockies decided to pitch to Carroll, and he came through with a liner for his first career walk-off hit.
The Diamondbacks won their fifth straight and improved to 34-23 to match the Dodgers for the best record in the National League.
After Ezequiel Tovar homered to make it 4-2 Rockies in the eighth, Arizona got within a run on Marte's RBI double against Brad Hand.
Kyle Davies pitched 5 1/3 innings for Arizona. He gave up seven hits and three runs.
PADRES 10, MARLINS 1 >> Joe Musgrove pitched a no-hitter into the sixth, Fernando Tatis Jr. had three doubles and four RBIs and visiting San Diego beat Miami.
Recently acquired Gary Sánchez homered for the second consecutive day, helping the Padres to 11 hits after being limited to a two-hitter by three Miami pitchers Wednesday.
Musgrove (3-2) kept Miami hitless until Luis Arraez's infield single. The right-hander allowed a third-inning run, three hits and walked three over six innings.
San Diego broke it open and chased Marlins starter Jesús Luzardo (4-4) with a sevenrun sixth. Sánchez's two-run double and Tatis' three-RBI double keyed the outburst.
METS 4, PHILLIES 2 >> Mark Canha hit a goahead, two-run homer, Max Scherzer settled down from a shaky first inning to win his third straight decision and New York completed a three-game home sweep of the defending NL champions.
The Mets trailed 2-0 before Jeff McNeil hit an RBI single in the third and Canha homered in the fourth against former Met Taijuan Walker (4-3).
The Phillies (25-31) dropped a season-worst six games under .500 after losing their fourth in a row.
Scherzer (5-2), who fell behind 2-0 in the first, gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in seven innings, striking out nine and walking one.
BLUE JAYS 3, BREWERS 1 >> Kevin Gausman struck out 11 in 6 2/3 shutout innings, Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman homered and Toronto beat visiting Milwaukee.
Gausman (4-3) struck out 11, giving him 100 on the season and reclaiming the AL lead from the Angels' Shohei Ohtani (89). Gausman allowed five hits and walked two.
RED SOX 8, REDS 2 >> Rafael Devers doubled to break an eighth-inning tie and Boston overcame Chris Sale's fourth-inning exit because of left shoulder soreness to beat Cincinnati at Fenway Park.
After the Reds tied it 2-2 in the eighth, Devers doubled in Alex Verdugo after a leadoff walk in the bottom of the inning.
