Red Sox pile up runs, take set from Yanks

Carlos Narvaez hit a three-run homer against his former team to spark a five-run sixth inning as the Boston Red Sox downed the host New York Yankees 11-7 on Sunday night.

The Red Sox scored 21 runs in taking the final two games of the series and 27 times overall. Acquired from the Yankees in December, Narvaez gave Boston a 5-3 lead when he sliced a fastball from New York starter Carlos Rodon (8-4) into the left field seats.

Boston rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Abraham Toro and Trevor Story ripped back-to-back homers in the eighth, and Rafael Devers homered in the ninth. Rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander did not get any strikeouts or issue a walk.

New York slugger Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first and another two-run shot in the ninth. DJ LeMahieu also homered as the Yankees lost a series for only the second time in 10 tries.

Pirates 2, Phillies 1

Paul Skenes and rookie Braxton Ashcraft combined to allow just one run on three hits as host Pittsburgh earned its first sweep of the season over Philadelphia.

Oneil Cruz drew a walk from Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez (5-2) to begin the bottom of the eighth. Orion Kerkering replaced Sanchez on the mound. Cruz then stole second — his 23rd stolen base of the season — and scored the eventual winning run on a broken-bat single to right by Andrew McCutchen.

Skenes allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over 7 2/3 innings and 97 pitches. Ashcraft (1-0) surrendered a one-out double to Trea Turner in the ninth and intentionally walked Kyle Schwarber. But after a mound visit, Ashcraft needed only one pitch to induce a game-ending ground ball to short from Alec Bohm that the Pirates turned into a 4-3 double play.

Rays 3, Marlins 2

Brandon Lowe’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly capped a comeback for Tampa Bay as it beat visiting Miami.

Yandy Diaz had a hand in each of the runs for the Rays as the designated hitter went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. His eighth-inning double chased reliever Valente Bellozo (1-3). Pinch runner Jose Caballero stole third off Calvin Faucher, allowing him to score on Lowe’s fly ball to shallow center. Edwin Uceta (5-1) pitched a perfect eighth and ninth with three strikeouts for the Rays, who have won five of their last six games.

Rookie Heriberto Hernandez enjoyed the first three-hit day of his major league career, but it was not enough for the Marlins as they fell for the sixth time in their last seven contests.

Giants 4, Braves 3

Mike Yastrzemski highlighted a three-run fourth inning with a two-run double, Landen Roupp combined with three relievers on a six-hitter and San Francisco completed a three-game sweep over visiting Atlanta.

Ryan Walker, Randy Rodriguez and Camilo Doval retired nine of the 11 men they faced over the final three scoreless innings, allowing the Giants to record a third straight one-run win over the Braves and a fifth straight overall. The sweep was San Francisco’s first at home over Atlanta since 2009.

Matt Olson drove in three runs for the Braves, who have lost seven in a row for the second time this season.

Padres 1, Brewers 0

Manny Machado snapped a scoreless tie with a leadoff home run in the seventh inning and rookie Ryan Bergert and five relievers combined on a four-hitter to pace San Diego past host Milwaukee in the decider of a three-game series.

After the Padres managed just one hit in six innings against Freddy Peralta, Machado greeted reliever Rob Zastryzny (1-1) with his 10th homer, sending a 3-2 pitch 425 feet to left-center.

Robert Suarez allowed a two-out single in a scoreless ninth for his major league-leading 21st save in 23 opportunities.

Rangers 4, Nationals 2

Evan Carter and Jake Burger each finished a triple short of the cycle as Texas beat host Washington in the rubber match of their three-game series.

Carter hit a two-run homer in the second inning, doubled in the fourth and singled in the sixth before striking out in the eighth. Burger doubled in the second, flied out in the fourth, singled in the sixth and hit a solo homer in the eighth. Jacob Webb (3-3) pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief in the bullpen game for the Rangers. Robert Garcia worked the final 1 1/3 innings for his fourth save.

Alex Call homered for the Nationals, and Nathaniel Lowe had three hits. Starter Trevor Williams (3-7) gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Mariners 3, Angels 2

George Kirby posted a career-high 14 strikeouts across seven innings as Seattle earned a victory over Los Angeles at Anaheim, Calif.

Kirby (1-3) allowed two runs on two hits and walked none, helping the Mariners snap a five-game losing streak. Seattle closer Andres Munoz secured his 18th save of the year. Randy Arozarena went 3-for-5 with an RBI.

Tyler Anderson (2-3) allowed three earned runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings while striking out six and walking one. Taylor Ward’s two-run homer in the fourth accounted for all of the Angels’ scoring as the club had its two-game winning streak snapped.

Athletics 5, Orioles 1

Max Muncy homered and Jacob Wilson turned in his fifth consecutive multi-hit game in the host Athletics’ win over Baltimore in West Sacramento, Calif.

The Athletics took two of three games in the weekend series. Wilson was 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Tyler Soderstrom also finished 2-for-4 with an RBI. Sean Newcomb (1-4) got the win with three innings of shutout relief, allowing three hits, no walks and striking out three.

Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4) took the loss. He gave up four runs (three earned) and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, with one walk and two strikeouts. Baltimore had won seven of its last eight games.
