CINCINNATI >> Spencer Steer and pinch-hitter Gavin Lux hit run-scoring singles in the 11th inning and Cincinnati rallied from a three-run deficit for a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night after Chase Burns made an impressive major league debut for the Reds.
Aaron Judge scored on Connor Phillips’ wild pitch in the 11th for a 4-3 lead.
With Matt McLain as the automatic runner, Elly De La Cruz led off against Mark Leiter Jr. (4-4) with an infield single. Spencer Steer hit a tying single as De La Cruz jogged to second, apparently thinking the game was over. Steer advanced on a wild pitch, Tyler Stephenson walked to load the bases and Lux singled to center over the five-man infield for his second career walk-off hit.
Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit a three-run double in the seventh off Jonathan Loáisiga.
New York dropped to 1-6 in extra innings this year and is 1 for 21 with runners in scoring position in losing the first two games of the series.
Burns, the second overall pick in last July’s amateur draft, became the first starting pitcher in the expansion era to strike out the first five batters he faced in his debut. The 22-year old right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in five innings and struck out eight.
Tigers 11, A’s 4 >> Dillon Dingler hit a three-run home run, Kerry Carpenter added a two-run homer and Detroit beat the A’s.
Riley Greene had four hits, including a double, two RBIs and scored twice for the Tigers and Wenceel Pérez added two hits and two RBIs.
Greene has 45 RBIs since May 1, second in the American League behind Seattle’s Cal Raleigh (50), and is batting .439 with 18 hits and 17 RBIs over the last 10 games.
Tarik Skubal (9-2) gave up four runs on six hits with eight strikeouts in six innings. The 28-year-old has won 10 consecutive home games, dating to Aug. 13, the longest active streak of its kind by a starter in MLB.
Dodgers 9, Rockies 7 >> Michael Conforto hit a three-run homer, Shohei Ohtani added a two-run shot and NL West-leading Los Angeles held off last-place Colorado.
Trailing 2-0, the Dodgers got their bats cranked up in a six-run fourth inning. Conforto sent a knuckle-curve from Germán Márquez (3-9) over the fence in right.
Ohtani lined his 27th homer of the season into the left-field seats in the sixth to make it 8-3. Ohtani finished 1 for 5 with a strikeout.
Blue Jays 10, Guardians 6 >> George Springer broke the game open with a grand slam in the eighth inning, Eric Lauer held Cleveland scoreless until the sixth and Toronto beat the Guardians.
Springer’s eighth career slam and 11th home run this season gave the Blue Jays a 10-4 lead. He went 3 for 5 with three runs scored to pace Toronto’s 14-hit night.
RANGERS 6, ORIOLES 5, 10 INNINGS >> Evan Carter slid safely home in the top of the 10th inning, lifting Texas to a victory over Baltimore.
Carter was the automatic runner, and he went to third when Seranthony Domínguez (2-2) threw a one-out wild pitch. Sam Haggerty then hit a grounder to second baseman Jackson Holliday. When Holliday threw home, Carter was initially called out, but he was ruled safe on a replay review.
BREWERS 9, PIRATES 3 >> Joey Ortiz homered twice and Caleb Durbin added a three-run shot as Milwaukee defeated Pittsburgh.
Durbin and Ortiz — the last two hitters in Milwaukee’s lineup — went a combined 4 of 8 with four runs and seven RBIs. They hit back-to-back homers off Andrew Heaney with two outs in the fourth inning to extend the Brewers’ lead to 6-0.
DIAMONDBACKS 4, WHITE SOX 1 >> Ketel Marte hit a solo homer in the first inning, Alek Thomas and Geraldo Perdomo each had a seventh-inning RBI single and Arizona beat Chicago.
The Diamondbacks beat Chicago 10-0 in the series opener on Monday and have won five of their last six.
MARINERS 6, TWINS 5 >> Julio Rodríguez drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning after Jhoan Duran hit a pair of batters with pitches, lifting Seattle over Minnesota for its eighth win in 11 games.
Minnesota, which fell behind 5-0 before tying the score in the fourth, has lost five straight and 15 of 18.
BRAVES 7, METS 4 >> Matt Olson had three RBIs, including a tiebreaking single that capped a five-run sixth inning, and Atlanta rallied past New York.
Spencer Strider (3-5) overcame one rugged inning to win his third straight start, and the Braves took advantage of nine walks by six Mets pitchers. Atlanta, which has won nine of 12 overall, improved to 5-0 against its NL East rival this year — all in the past eight days.
Rays 5, Royals 1 >> Danny Jansen hit a two-run home run and finished with three RBIs, Taj Bradley pitched two-hit ball for 6 2/3 scoreless innings and Tampa Bay beat Kansas City.
Yandy Díaz and Jonathan Aranda had three hits apiece for the Rays.
Cardinals 8, Cubs 7 >> Masyn Winn homered, drove in four runs and scored twice to lead St. Louis to a win over Chicago, its seventh win in the last eight games.
Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy allowed five runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out one and walking one. Steven Matz (4-2) went 1 1/3 innings of relief and Ryan Helsley earned his 15th save in 20 tries.
Astros 1, Phillies 0 >> Cooper Hummel hit a solo home run in the eighth inning and Framber Valdez and two relievers combined for a four-hitter in Houston’s win over Philadelphia.
There was one out in the eighth when Hummel connected off Ranger Suárez (6-2) on his opposite field shot to the bullpen in right-center field.
Valdez (9-4) scattered four hits across seven scoreless innings.
