DETROIT >> Javier Baez hit his second go-ahead, three-run homer in the 11th inning for his first multi-homer game in Detroit, lifting the Tigers to a 10-9 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
The AL-leading Tigers were ahead in the first, third, fourth and sixth innings and lost the lead each time.
After falling behind in each of the two extra innings, they came back to win a second straight game against Boston and 10th in 13 games.
Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer in the 11th and Greg Weissert (1-1) failed to keep a two-run lead. He allowed Jace Jung to hit a leadoff single and Baez to turn on a no-doubt shot to left.
Beau Brieske (1-1) picked up the win after giving up two runs — one earned — and one hit in the 11th.
Boston went up by a run in the 10th on Ceddanne Rafaela’s RBI groundout and Trey Sweeney’s two-out single in the home half of the inning made it 7-all.
Baez, who has revived his career this season after struggling the previous three seasons in Detroit, also had a three-run homer in the sixth.
Hamilton’s two-run blast off Tommy Kahnle pulled the Red Sox into a 6-all tie in the eighth. Boston had a chance to take the lead later in the inning with runners in scoring position, but Kahnle struck out Rafael Devers.
Boston’s Alex Bregman, who was booed during each at-bat because he turned down an offer to sign with the Tigers in the offseason, hit a solo home run in the fourth.
Baez put both his hands in the air in the moment after he sent the game-winning home run to left and the crowd chanted “Ja-vy! Ja-vy!” for a player they previously jeered.
Spencer Torkelson has 11 homers in 43 games, a season after hitting just 10 in 92 games.
Mets 2, Pirates 1 >> Brett Baty hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning and New York held off punchless Pittsburgh.
Brandon Nimmo had an early RBI double off hard-luck loser Mitch Keller for the NL East-leading Mets (28-15), who have won five of six to move a season-best 13 games over .500.
A throwing error by shortstop Francisco Lindor helped the Pirates put runners at second and third with one out in the ninth. But closer Edwin Díaz threw a called third strike past slumping Bryan Reynolds before cleanup batter Joey Bart grounded out in a drizzle to end it.
Pittsburgh advanced a runner to third with less than two outs every inning from the second through the fourth and came up empty each time against starter Kodai Senga, who struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings.
Astros 2, Royals 1 >> Isaac Paredes hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth inning to lift Houston to a victory over Kansas City.
The game was tied at 1 after a home run by Jeremy Peña in the sixth inning when Paredes led off the bottom of the ninth against John Schreiber (1-2). He sent his second pitch to left-center field for his fifth homer this season, giving Houston the win after Kansas City took the series opener Monday.
Cubs 5, Marlins 4 >> Nico Hoerner had an RBI single and Justin Turner followed with a two-run double, all in the ninth inning, as Chicago rallied to beat Miami.
Kyle Stowers hit a solo homer in the second and Connor Norby went deep in the seventh for the Marlins. Javier Sanoja knocked in a run with a ground out and Jesus Sanchez added an RBI single for Miami, which carried a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
Rangers 4, Rockies 1 >> Josh Jung hit a first-inning three-run home run and an eighth-inning solo shot while Jack Leiter allowed only one run on two singles over six innings as Texas beat struggling Colorado.
Jung’s first homer followed singles by Sam Haggerty and Wyatt Langford for the Rangers (22-21), who have won four consecutive games to move above .500 for the first time since April 30. His second homer gave him his fifth career multihomer game and was his third homer in three games.
Rays 11, Blue Jays 9 >> Junior Caminero hit a tiebreaking grand slam during a five-run ninth inning, Danny Jansen homered against his former team, and Tampa Bay beat Toronto.
Daulton Varsho homered twice for the Blue Jays, and his three-run shot in the eighth against Edwin Uceta (3-1) put Toronto ahead 7-6. After Chandler Simpson’s RBI single and Caminero’s 419-foot shot to the upper deck in left made it 11-7 in the ninth, the Rays survived run-scoring doubles by Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the bottom half.
Braves 5, Nationals 2 >> Drake Baldwin hit a two-run homer, Spencer Schwellenbach pitched seven strong innings and Atlanta improved to .500 for the first time this season with a win over skidding Washington.
The Braves (21-21), who began the season 0-7, handed the Nationals their seventh straight loss.
Guardians 2, Brewers 0 >> José Ramírez hit his seventh homer, Logan Allen allowed three hits in six innings, and Cleveland beat Milwaukee.
Kyle Manzardo drove in the Guardians’ other run with his second triple this season, a short flyball that got past a diving Jackson Chourio in center field to score Ramírez in the eighth inning.
White Sox 5, Reds 1 >> Miguel Vargas hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning, and Chicago beat Cincinnati in a game delayed nearly two hours at the start because of rain.
Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz hit a 435-foot solo homer, his seventh, to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth.
Chase Meidroth gave the White Sox the lead again with his RBI single before Vargas connected on the next pitch from Emilio Pagán (0-2) for his third homer.
