Cameron Maybin hit a tiebreaking home run off struggling reliever Tyler Clippard to spark a three-run seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels beat New York, 8-3, Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium to extend the Yankees’ losing streak to seven games — their longest in a single season since April 2007.
Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 24th home run and Gary Sanchez his 12th as New York climbed back from a 3-0 deficit.
But then Cameron drove the second pitch from Clippard (1-4) into the left-field seats, Kole Calhoun doubled to the right-center gap, Albert Pujols flied out to the center-field warning track, and Yunel Escobar hit an RBI triple just over the glove of a leaping Brett Gardner at the left-field wall.
Clippard walked off to boos after giving up runs for the third time in four outings.
Orioles 6, Indians 5 — Manny Machado went 4 for 4, homered twice, and drove in four runs to help host Baltimore end Cleveland’s six-game winning streak.
After the Orioles rallied from a 5-2 deficit to pull even, Machado doubled off Bryan Shaw (1-2) in the seventh inning and scored on a double by Adam Jones.
Nationals 12, Marlins 3 — Bryce Harper started the scoring with a two-run single that extended his hitting streak to 13 games, and Gio Gonzalez pitched seven innings to help Washington to a road victory.
Daniel Murphy had two RBIs and hit his 12th homer for the Nationals. Teammate Stephen Drew had three hits and three RBIs, and Ryan Zimmerman drove in three runs with a double and a single.
The NL East leaders went 7 for 14 with runners in scoring position.
Gonzalez (7-1) gave up three runs, struck out eight, and won his fourth straight decision. The lefthander, who grew up in nearby Hialeah, improved to 7-3 in 13 starts against his hometown team with an ERA of 2.19.
Marcell Ozuna hit his 19th homer for the Marlins.
The game was scoreless when Miami’s Edinson Volquez (3-8) walked Michael A. Taylor and Trea Turner in the third inning, and they advanced on a double steal. With two outs, Harper tried to bunt on the first pitch — a curious move by the slugger — and pushed it foul. He golfed the next pitch into center for the Nationals’ first hit to put them up, 2-0.
The next time Harper came to bat, the Nationals again had a runner in scoring position, and Miami manager Don Mattingly opted for an intentional walk. Zimmerman foiled the strategy with a two-run double.
Volquez gave up a season-high six runs in 4⅔ innings.
Cardinals 8, Phillies 1 — Yadier Molina and Tommy Pham both homered in a seven-run 11th inning to power visiting St. Louis. Stephen Piscotty had a two-run double off Casey Fien after Edubray Ramos (0-5) started the inning with two walks. Molina and Pham followed with homers as the Cardinals had their biggest output of the season in an inning.
Rays 6, Reds 5 — Corey Dickerson went deep and Alex Cobb threw seven solid innings to help lift host Tampa Bay. Dickerson had his 29th multi-hit game of the season with two hits. He drove in Tampa Bay’s first run with a third-inning single, then capped their scoring with his 16th home run in the fourth.
Joey Votto hit his 20th home and Eugenio Suarez drove in another run off Colome, but the Reds lost for the 10th time in 11 games.
Giants 6, Braves 3 — Austin Slater hit a three-run homer after host Atlanta botched a potential double-play grounder, helping San Francisco snap a seven-game losing streak.
Matt Moore (3-7) pitched seven strong innings for his first win in over a month, and the shaky Giants bullpen protected the lead.
Julio Teheran (6-5) was up, 2-0, and cruising toward his first home win since opening night at SunTrust Park, only to be let down by his defense in the eighth inning. The Braves were charged with three errors in all, the biggest coming when shortstop Dansby Swanson dropped a throw trying to turn a double play.
On the very next pitch, Slater lined one into the right-field seats for his second homer of the season. The Giants went on to score five runs in the inning.

In late games Monday night:
Rookie slugger Cody Bellinger launched two more long balls, his 20th and 21st of the season to set a major league record, and Clayton Kershaw notched his 10th win despite giving up a career-high four homers as the Dodgers held on for a 10-6 victory over the New York Mets in Los Angeles. Bellinger reached 21 home runs in 51 career games — faster than any other big league player. Despite spotting the rest of the NL three weeks before he was called up from the minors, the 21-year-old first baseman leads the league in homers. Kershaw (10-2) struck out 10 and became the first 10-game winner in the National League despite giving up plenty of hard hits himself. The three-time Cy Young Award winner already has surrendered a career-high 17 homers this year . . . George Springer hit his 20th home run, Jake Marisnick and Derek Fisher also went deep, and the Houston Astros beat the Athletics, 4-1, in Oakland, Calif. . . . In Seattle, Mike Zunino continued his torrid month with a pair of two-run home runs, leading the Mariners to a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers.
