MLB Roundup: Marlins end Padres’ winning streak after HR disallowed

Jake Burger hit his 10th homer in his last 16 games and the host Miami Marlins ended the San Diego Padres’ seven-game winning streak with a wild 7-6 victory Sunday afternoon.

San Diego appeared to tie the score at 7-7 with two outs in the ninth inning thanks to a solo home run by Ha-Seong Kim. However, upon review, the hit was ruled a ground-rule double as the ball hit the top of the wall and was then inadvertently pushed over the fence by Marlins left fielder Kyle Stowers.

Then reliever George Soriano came in and struck out Luis Campusano to end the game and get his first save of the season.

Dylan Cease (11-9), who leads the majors in strikeouts, took the loss. In five innings, he struck out five and allowed six hits, two walks and five runs (two earned).

Angels 6, Nationals 4

Kevin Pillar hit a three-run double and Jack Kochanowicz recorded his first major league win to lift Los Angeles to a victory over host Washington.

Kochanowicz (1-2) pitched 7 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out two. Mickey Moniak was 3-for-5 with one run for the Angels.

Washington starter MacKenzie Gore (7-10) pitched four innings and allowed five unearned runs on five hits and six walks. Jacob Young hit a solo homer in the loss.

Athletics 8, Blue Jays 4

JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof hit two-run homers in the first inning and finished with three hits apiece as Oakland defeated host Toronto.

Lawrence Butler also had three hits for Oakland in the decider of the three-game series. Oakland left-hander JP Sears (10-8) allowed three runs, three hits and three walks with four strikeouts in seven-plus innings.

Daulton Varsho hit a solo homer for the Blue Jays. Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 0 for 4 to end his hitting streak at 22 games. Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt (9-11) allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in four innings.

Astros 10, Red Sox 2

Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez hit back-to-back homers in the fifth inning and visiting Houston completed a three-game sweep of Boston.

Bregman hit a three-run homer that gave the Astros a 4-0 lead before Alvarez followed with his fifth homer in the last five games. The back-to-back homers were part of a five-run inning that included an RBI single by Jake Meyers.

Houston, which has won five straight, added four runs in the sixth on a two-run double by Yainer Diaz and a two-run homer by Jeremy Pena. Boston, which has lost four straight, lost starter James Paxton in the first inning with a right calf strain.

Diamondbacks 12, Phillies 5

Merrill Kelly pitched five solid innings in his return and Adrian Del Castillo continued his impressive start to his major league career as Arizona defeated Philadelphia in Phoenix.

Kelly (3-0) limited Philadelphia to two runs and three hits in his first major league start since April 15 (right shoulder strain). He walked two, struck out two and threw 85 pitches. Del Castillo, who made his debut Wednesday, added three more hits and drove in two runs. The 24-year-old catcher is 7 for 12 with a homer and five RBIs in his first three games.

Philadelphia left-hander Cristopher Sanchez (8-8) allowed a career-high 12 hits and a career-high seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out four.

Yankees 8, Rangers 7

Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and matched a season high with four RBIs as host New York earned a victory over struggling Texas.

The Yankees won for the 10th time in 14 games and the 70th time this season. Juan Soto homered twice for the Yankees, who have won four of their last six series and joined the Orioles as just the second team to reach 70 wins. Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 42nd homer after Soto’s second homer in the seventh.

New York starter Marcus Stroman (8-6) earned his first win since June 22, allowing one run and four hits in five-plus innings. The Rangers scored all of their runs starting in the sixth inning, when Nathaniel Lowe and Carson Kelly homered, but lost for the 11th time in 15 games.

Rays 2, Orioles 1

Curtis Mead drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning as Tampa Bay rallied against Baltimore in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The Rays had loaded the bases with one out and three walks off Orioles reliever Craig Kimbrel (6-4). Mead then hit a deep fly ball to right field to easily drive in Brandon Lowe with the winning run. Dylan Carlson added a pinch-hit RBI single and Lowe had a double, a walk and two stolen bases for the Rays.

Tyler Holton, Brenan Hanifee and Will Vest combined for four innings of two-hit, shutout relief, helping the Tigers finish 3-3 on a six-game road trip. Keider Montero (3-5) allowed all four runs in his five-plus innings, allowing five hits and four walks. He struck out two.

For San Francisco, Matt Chapman had three hits, including a two-run single in the first inning. He drove in three runs overall. Tyler Fitzgerald added two hits. Hayden Birdsong (3-2) took the loss, allowing five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out five.

Enrique Hernandez hit a game-tying double in the 10th inning and scored on Teoscar Hernandez’s two-out single as host Los Angeles completed a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh.

The Dodgers won for the sixth time in their last eight games after the Pirates rallied to take the lead in the 10th on Bryan Reynolds’ RBI single.

Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run double and Tyler Glasnow allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings against his former team. Evan Phillips (3-0) got the win.

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani tripled but is 7 for 50 (.140) in his last 12 games and scored the winning run at second base in the 10th. Andrew McCutchen hit a pair of two-run homers and the Pirates lost their season-high seventh straight game.

Reds 4, Brewers 3

Spencer Steer drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly as Cincinnati avoided a sweep and ended host Milwaukee’s five-game winning streak.

After Willy Adames greeted reliever Buck Farmer with an RBI single to tie the game for the Brewers in the sixth, Steer put the Reds back on top in the seventh with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Joe Ross (2-6) after a single and two walks.

Farmer (2-0) earned the win despite blowing a save with two-thirds of an inning of work. Alexis Diaz pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances.

Rockies 9, Braves 8

Jake Cave hit a two-run homer to spark Colorado’s furious seven-run comeback in the eighth inning to stun Atlanta in Denver and take the three-game series.

After Cave’s homer off Luke Jackson, the Rockies scored five runs with two outs as Charlie Blackmon drove in two with a single off Joe Jimenez (1-4) and scored on Ryan McMahon’s single. Brendan Rodgers capped the comeback with a two-run double that put Colorado ahead and led to the three-game series win.

Josh Rogers (2-0) got the win after his contract was selected from Triple-A earlier in the day. He allowed one run and three hits with one strikeout and one walk in 1 2/3 innings of relief.
