BREWERS 3, REDS 2

Christian Yelich hit his fourth home run in six games and Milwaukee extended their winning streak to eight games, beating Cincinnati on Monday night.

Yelich — named the National League Player of the Week earlier in the day — connected on a full-count slider from Brady Singer (6-4) and drove it 417 feet to straightaway center and off the batter’s eye to put Milwaukee on top in the third inning.

Sal Frelick had a pair of hits for the Brewers, who have their longest winning streak since running off nine straight in August 2023.

Aaron Civale (1-1) picked up his first win of the season in his third start since missing nearly two months due to a strained left hamstring.

The right-hander, who went 5 1/3 innings, rebounded after allowing two runs in the first and struck out five.

ANGELS 7, RED SOX 6

Mike Trout had three hits, including a three-run, 454-foot homer off the left-center field light stanchion in the Angels’ six-run first inning and Los Angeles held on to beat Boston.

Zach Neto homered to lead off the game, and the Angels opened a 5-0 lead before before Red Sox starter Richard Fitts (0-3) recorded his first out. Jo Adell also homered in the first and added another solo shot in the sixth after Boston cut the lead to 6-5.

Jarren Duran had three hits for Boston, including a double to start the four-run fifth inning. Ceddanne Rafaela homered to make it 7-6 in the eighth.

Ryan Zeferjahn (3-1) was credited with the win, pitching a scoreless seventh inning and striking out two. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 11th save, getting Romy Gonzalez on a line drive to the warning track in right to end it.

TIGERS 13, WHITE SOX 1

Kerry Carpenter hit a career-high three homers and drove in five runs to help Detroit pound Chicago.

Dillon Dingler and Wenceel Pérez also went deep as Detroit became the first major league team to reach 40 wins this season. Parker Meadows had two hits and scored three times in his season debut after being sidelined by an arm injury.

Jack Flaherty (4-6) pitched six innings of one-run ball in his second straight win. The right-hander allowed four hits, struck out four and walked one.

The Tigers improved to 22-9 in their last 31 games. It was their 11th consecutive win at the White Sox dating to Sept. 1, 2023, matching a franchise record for the longest such streak in an opponent’s ballpark.
