MLB roundup: Yankees rally past Mariners in 10th

Anthony Volpe scored the tiebreaking run on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge in the 10th inning and the host New York Yankees extended their winning streak by rallying for a 6-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners after being held hitless by Bryan Woo through seven innings on Thursday night.
Following a walk by Trent Grisham against Gabe Speier (2-1), Judge lifted a fly ball to center field and Volpe scored when Julio Rodriguez’s throw was off target. That came after Devin Williams (3-3) tossed a perfect top of the 10th.
Seattle blew a five-run lead when Matt Brash allowed a two-run homer to pinch hitter Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth and Andres Munoz surrendered a two-strike single to Austin Wells with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth.
Woo carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed two runs in 7 1/3 outstanding innings. Woo finished with five strikeouts, walked two and threw 103 pitches in the longest outing of his career. Jorge Polanco gave the Mariners their 5-0 lead with a three-run homer in the seventh.
Cubs 8, Twins 1
Pete Crow-Armstrong crushed a pair of home runs and right-hander Colin Rea handled the rest as Chicago blew out Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Rea (7-3) scattered three hits and struck out five in seven innings in what became a light workout behind Chicago’s offensive barrage. Crow-Armstrong was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs and Seiya Suzuki added three hits and two runs. Crow-Armstrong, who now has 25 home runs this season, also collected his 21st double of the year.
Royce Lewis had two of Minnesota’s four hits and the Twins’ lone run came on Kody Clemens’ solo shot with one out in the fifth.
Orioles 3, Mets 1 (Game 1)
Gunnar Henderson’s two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning interrupted a pitching duel and Baltimore beat visiting New York in the first game of a doubleheader.
Mets starter David Peterson cruised through seven shutout innings before yielding Colton Cowser’s leadoff single in the eighth, and he was replaced by Ryne Stanek, who surrendered Henderson’s 11th home run of the season.
Tyrone Taylor drove in the Mets’ run and Mark Vientos, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, had two of their five hits.
Orioles 7, Mets 3 (Game 2)
Jordan Westburg homered and Gunnar Henderson had three hits as Baltimore beat visiting New York to complete the twin-bill sweep.
Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (7-5) gave up two first-inning runs and then settled in to complete six innings. He allowed three runs on four hits. The Orioles have won five of their last six games.
The Mets have lost three of their last four games. Brandon Nimmo had two of the team’s five hits.
Red Sox 4, Rays 3
Ceddanne Rafaela’s two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning highlighted a 2-for-3 night, leading Boston to a win over visiting Tampa Bay in the opener of a four-game series.
Rafaela made an impact on both of Boston’s run-scoring frames, hitting a one-out single and scoring its first run in the third inning before his decisive knock in a three-run seventh. Boston starter Walker Buehler worked around two home runs to finish six innings, allowing just three other hits. Chris Murphy (1-0) and Garrett Whitlock pitched in front of Aroldis Chapman, who clinched the team’s seventh straight win by striking out two to post his 16th save of the season.
Junior Caminero and Ha-Seong Kim (two RBIs) provided the homers for Tampa Bay, which had a 7-4 advantage in hits.
Reds 6, Marlins 0
Nick Lodolo and four relievers combined on a four-hit shutout for host Cincinnati, which salvaged a split of a four-game series with Miami.
Spencer Steer homered while Austin Hays had three RBIs thanks to a pair of singles for the Reds, who won the final two games of the series. Elly De La Cruz also had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the sixth, and a stolen base. Lodolo (6-6) allowed three hits over six innings.
Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (3-8) took the loss after giving up all six runs (five earned) on seven hits over five innings. Four Marlins had one hit apiece.
Cardinals 8, Nationals 1
Miles Mikolas threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings as St. Louis defeated Washington to take the three-game series. Mikolas (5-6) allowed just two hits while striking out six batters and walking one. This was a dramatic turnaround from his previous two starts, when he allowed 14 runs on 17 hits in 10 innings.
Willson Contreras hit a homer and scored twice for the Cardinals. Alec Burleson drove in two runs, Brendan Donovan had two runs and an RBI, and Masyn Winn had two doubles and an RBI.
Nationals starter Michael Soroka (3-7) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings.
