Sanchez homers in 9th, helps rally Yankees past Orioles 10-7
By The Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) --- Gary Snchez hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning to
cap a New York rally fueled by Baltimore gaffes, and the Yankees pulled out a
10-7 victory Monday night.
Gleyber Torres homered twice for the Yankees, who trailed 6-1 after four
innings and 7-3 after six.
At that point, the Orioles fulfilled their stature as the team with the worst
record in the AL. They threw to the wrong base, missed popups and were
outscored 7-0 over the final three innings.
New York scored in the seventh on an overthrow by left fielder Dwight Smith
Jr., who fell for a fake tag-up on third base. In the ninth, right fielder Joey
Rickard threw to the wrong base on a single, Smith heaved the ball past the
plate on Aaron Hicks' tying sacrifice fly, catcher Pedro Severino misjudged a
foul pop that preceded a two-out walk to Luke Voit and Snchez connected off
Mychal Givens (0-1).
Zach Britton (2-0) worked the eighth and Aroldis Chapman got three outs for his
12th save.
Hanser Alberto and Renato Nez homered for the Orioles.
Yankees starter J.A. Happ allowed six runs and a pair of solo homers in 3 2/3
innings, but New York's comeback got him a no-decision.
ASTROS 3, WHITE SOX 0
HOUSTON (AP) --- Jake Marisnick and Tyler White homered and Brad Peacock struck
out nine in his third straight win to lead Houston over Chicago.
Playing without George Springer, who leads the American League with 17 homers,
the Astros got pop from the bottom of the lineup to give them at least one
homer in 17 straight games. They've won 11 of 12 overall and eight in a row
against the White Sox.
Peacock (5-2) allowed two hits in five innings. Ryan Pressly pitched a
scoreless eighth to extend his MLB-record streak of appearances without
allowing a run to 40, and Roberto Osuna gave up a hit in the ninth, preserving
the shutout and earning his 12th save.
The White Sox used five pitchers on a bullpen day which began with Ryan Burr
(1-1). He allowed one hit and one run --- which was unearned, in two innings.
METS 5, NATIONALS 3
NEW YORK (AP) --- Amed Rosario and Pete Alonso homered in the first inning as
New York, after learning embattled manager Mickey Callaway is staying around,
broke out of its offensive funk a bit to beat Washington.
Carlos Gmez cracked an RBI double off the wall for his first Mets hit in 12
years, and slumping Todd Frazier had a run-scoring single to help New York
(21-25) stop a five-game losing streak. After the Mets built a 4-0 lead in the
third, fill-in starter Wilmer Font and five relievers held off the rival
Nationals.
Anthony Rendon homered and Yan Gomes had three hits for Washington, including
an RBI single.
Patrick Corbin (4-2) was tagged for four runs and six hits over five innings.
Pinch-hitter Dominic Smith delivered a two-out RBI single in the eighth on the
first pitch from left-hander Tony Sipp, who came off the injured list earlier
in the day.
Font, starting in place of injured Jason Vargas, lasted four innings before
Drew Gagnon (2-0) tossed two hitless innings. Edwin Daz pitched a scoreless
ninth for his 11th save.
ATHLETICS 6, INDIANS 4
CLEVELAND (AP) --- Brett Anderson left in the sixth inning with a cervical
strain, and Oakland hung on to beat Cleveland.
Anderson (5-3) allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old left-hander
was injured in the fifth inning when he ducked to avoid a ball hit up the
middle by Roberto Prez. Both pieces of Prez's broken bat also sailed close to
the pitcher.
Anderson finished the inning, then was removed in the sixth with a 3-1 lead and
a runner on second.
Jurickson Profar, Matt Olson and Matt Chapman homered as Oakland extended its
winning streak to four, matching its season high.
Jos Ramirez hit an RBI single in the eighth off Lou Trivino that pulled
Cleveland to 4-3, and Blake Treinen retired Carlos Gonzlez on an inning-ending
groundout with the bases loaded. Treinen picked up his eighth save in 10
chances.
Carlos Carrasco (4-4) allowed three runs, seven hits and two walks, throwing
100 pitches in five innings.
RED SOX 12, BLUE JAYS 2
TORONTO (AP) --- David Price did not allow any earned runs over five innings in
his return from the injured list, and Boston hit four home runs in a rout of
Toronto.
Price (2-2), who had not pitched since May 2 because of left elbow tendinitis,
allowed three hits, struck out four and walked none, throwing 67 pitches.
Toronto scored twice in the second to tie the game, including Luke Maile's
second homer this year. Price then retired his final 10 batters.
Chavis, Jackie Bradley Jr., Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers homered for the
Red Sox.
Brandon Workman, Heath Hembree, Ryan Brasier and Hector Velzquez combined for
hitless relief.
RANGERS 10, MARINERS 9
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Asdrbal Cabrera hit two of the five Texas homers and
Mike Minor struck out 11 over six innings in a win over Seattle.
Hunter Pence, Joey Gallo and Rougned Odor also homered. The Rangers twice had
back-to-back homers while winning for the fifth time in six games since losing
five in a row.
Minor (5-3) had pitched 29 innings in a row at home without giving up a run
before Seattle, down 7-0 at the time, scored twice in the sixth.
Tim Beckham had five RBIs for the Mariners, including his first career grand
slam in the eighth to chase Shelby Miller. Seattle added three runs in the
ninth, including Daniel Vogelbach's two-run homer with two outs.
Texas went ahead to stay with a five-run first inning off Mike Leake (3-5).
