Judge hits 2 more HRs, but Orioles get win
Ramón Urías hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning off Gerrit Cole and the Baltimore Orioles withstood Aaron Judge’s two home runs to beat the Yankees 6-4 on Monday night and send New York to its season-high third straight loss.
Urías started Baltimore’s four-run third with a double down the left field line, then snapped a 4-all tie by lining an 0-1 fastball to the short porch in right field off Cole (4-1). The Yankees starter allowed a seasonworst five runs and seven hits in eight innings. He struck out 11 for his 49th career double-digit strikeout game.
Judge upped his major league-leading home run total to 17.
METS 13, GIANTS 3 >> Pete Alonso had three hits, including a three-run home run, as New York routed San Francisco. Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, Eduardo Escobar and J.D. Davis each drove in two runs for the Mets, who had 18 hits. CARDINALS 7, BLUE JAYS 3, 10 INNINGS >> Paul Goldschmidt hit a walkoff grand slam in the 10th inning, lifting St. Louis over Toronto. Goldschmidt, who sat out Sunday, hit his seventh homer. It was his seventh career grand slam and his seventh winning homer and his seventh extra-inning home run. It extended his
hitting streak to 15 games.
Genesis Cabrera (2-1) was the fifth St. Louis pitcher and pitched the 10th inning to pick up the victory as the Cardinals won their fourth straight overall and improved to 1-1 in extra innings. Rookie Juan Yepez also homered for St. Louis.
George Springer homered for Toronto, which fell to 1-2 in extra-inning games.
PHILLIES 7, BRAVES 3 >> Zack Wheeler pitched 6 2/3 strong innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts, Rhys Hoskins knocked in three runs with an early double and Philadelphia beat Atlanta. Wheeler (3-3) improved to 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA with 40 strikeouts in his last five starts. Last year’s Cy Young Award runner-up has allowed two
runs or less in four of them. Wheeler gave up eight hits and two runs with no walks.
Atlanta starter Tucker Davidson (1-1) was charged with four hits, five runs and four walks in 2 2/3 innings. TWINS 5, TIGERS 4 >> Gio Urshela hit an infield single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Minnesota a win over Detroit.
Urshela hit a grounder to Tigers shortstop Javier Báez, who couldn’t make a play. That allowed Max Kepler — who hit a grand slam in the first inning of Monday’s game — to score the winning run.
CUBS 7, REDS 4 >> Ian Happ and Patrick Wisdom hit three-run homers and Chicago beat Cincinnati despite two home runs by Aristides Aquino. Happ drove in Seiya Suzuki with a fourth-inning double before Wisdom hit his teamleading 10th homer. With Chicago holding a 4-3 lead with two outs in the seventh, Happ drove the first pitch he saw from reliever Luis Cessa into the rightfield bleachers.
PIRATES 2, ROCKIES >>
Ke’Bryan Hayes had three hits and scored the tiebreaking run on Yoshi Tsutsugo’s infield single in the eighth inning as Pittsburgh edged Colorado.
Hayes singled to lead off the eighth against Tyler Kinley (1-1), stole second base and advanced to third on Daniel Vogelbach’s groundout. Tsutsugo then beat out a slow bouncer to second base, enabling Hayes to score.
David Bednar (1-0) escaped a first-and-second jam in the eighth to keep it tied at 1. He followed with a scoreless ninth.
GUARDIANS 6, ASTROS 1 >>
José Ramírez homered with four RBIs and Triston McKenzie pitched seven sharp innings to help Cleveland top Houston. Ramírez had two hits, highlighted by a two-run shot in the fifth inning that pushed the lead to 4-0.
McKenzie (3-3) allowed just three hits as he pitched a season-high seven innings for his second straight start. The only run he allowed came on a solo homer by Alex Bregman to start the seventh.
