Dodgers sweep four in Arizona
Tyler Anderson threw six effective innings, Will Smith added a solo homer and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers swept a four-game series from the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 3-1 win Sunday.
Anderson (6-0), the veteran left-hander, scattered five hits and has given up just two earned runs over his last 21 innings, spanning three starts that all ended in wins.
Smith pushed the Dodgers ahead 1-0 in the second, driving the 12th pitch of the at-bat into the Chase Field swimming pool that sits just behind the right-center field wall.
The Dodgers — who won despite just four hits — added two more runs in the third on Freddie Freeman's RBI single and Trea Turner's RBI groundout.
BLUE JAYS 11, ANGELS 10 >> Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth for his season-high fifth RBI, and Toronto overcame two homers by Shohei Ohtani to complete a four-game sweep in Anaheim.

RAYS 4, YANKEES 2 >> Taylor Walls and Ji-man Choi homered for Tampa Bay's only hits, and the team scored two runs in the seventh inning on four walks and a hit batter in a win over visiting New York.
Walls, in a 1-for-34 slide, homered on a 3-1 fastball from Luis Severino (3-1) for a 2-1 lead in the fifth.
Aaron Judge hit his MLB-leading 18th home run, a drive off Colin Poche in the eighth. BRAVES 6, MARLINS 3 >> Marcell Ozuna hit two home runs as part of Atlanta's barrage of extra-base hits in its win over Miami.

All five Boston home runs came in four innings against Bruce Zimmermann (2-3). TWINS 7, ROYALS 3 >> Sonny Gray cruised before leaving in the seventh because of right pectoral soreness, and Minnesota beat visiting Kansas City behind Gio Urshela's three-run homer.
Gray (3-1) allowed two hits and retired 14 in a row before Andrew Benintendi's single leading off the seventh.
