ATLANTA >> Manny Machado hit a tiebreaking homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning and the San Diego Padres overcame Ronald Acuña Jr.’s home run in his season debut to beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Friday night and end their six-game losing streak.

Machado led off the ninth by lining his fourth homer off Iglesias (3-4) to left field.

Acuña wasted no time before thrilling the sellout crowd in his much-anticipated return to the Braves’ lineup. He crushed the first pitch he saw 467 feet for a home run, turning on a fastball from Nick Pivetta for the shot into the seats in left-center in the first inning. He added a single in his next at-bat.

Acuña also enjoyed a defensive highlight, throwing out Elias Díaz at second base in the eighth following Díaz’s single.

Acuña, the 2023 NL MVP, was activated from the injured list almost one year after he tore his left ACL.

Braves starter Chris Sale allowed a second-inning homer to Gavin Sheets.

Jason Adam (5-0) recorded the final out in the eighth. Robert Suarez overcame Alex Verdugo’s leadoff single in the ninth for his 16th save.

Eli White, running for Verdugo, was thrown out trying to return to second base following Ozzie Albie’s single to center. White apparently thought Jackson Merrill caught the ball in center field.

Rays 3, blue Jays 1 >> Brandon Lowe and Curtis Mead homered, Drew Rasmussen pitched six scoreless innings in a four-hitter and Tampa Bay beat Toronto for only the Rays’ third three-game winning streak this season.

Lowe put the Rays ahead in the third against Eric Lauer (1-1) with his team-leading ninth home run, a two-run drive. Mead homered in the fourth.

Rasmussen (3-4) allowed four hits and two walks. Mason Montgomery, Manuel Rodríguez, Edwin Uceta and Pete Fairbanks combined for hitless relief, with Fairbanks working around a walk for his ninth save in 10 chances.

Guardians 3, Tigers 1 >> Slade Cecconi gave up a run and five hits over six innings, José Ramírez tripled and scored in a two-run first inning and Cleveland beat Detroit.

Red Sox 19, Orioles 5 >> Rafael Devers had a career-high eight RBIs, hitting a three-run homer in the sixth inning and a grand slam in a 13-run eighth to lead Boston over Baltimore.

The game was scheduled to be part of a day-night doubleheader, but the second game was rained out.

Cubs 13, Reds 6 >> Pete Crow-Armstrong had two home runs — including a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning — and drove in six runs as Chicago rallied for a victory over Cincinnati.

It is the second six-RBI game for Crow-Armstrong in eight days. According to Sportradar, he is the first Cubs player to have two six-RBI games in a calendar month dating to at least 1920. The last player to do it in the majors before Crow-Armstrong was Derek Dietrich, who accomplished the feat in May 2019 for the Reds.

White sox 4, Rangers 1 >> Sean Burke tossed three-hit ball over six innings and Chicago beat Texas.

Burke (3-5) outpitched Tyler Mahle (5-2) and the White Sox opened the weekend series on a winning note after losing six of seven. The Rangers dropped their season-high fifth in a row.

Pirates 6, Brewers 5 (10 innings) >> Adam Frazier sprinted home from third on a wild pitch by Abner Uribe in the 10th inning to lift Pittsburgh past Milwaukee.

The Pirates tied it on an RBI single by Alexander Canario off Uribe (2-1) earlier in the inning. Canario had a chance to win it on a single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, but was called out at the plate when home plate umpire Mark Wegner ruled Canario had slid outside the baseline to avoid catcher William Contreras’ tag.

Twins 3, Royals 1 >> Ty France hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning and Minnesota beat Kansas City for the Twins’ 15th win in 17 games.

With the score 1-1. Carlos Correa reached on an infield single off Lucas Erceg (1-1) and France hit a first-pitch slider into the bullpen in left-center for his fourth homer this season.

Cardinals 4, Diamondbacks 3 >> Nolan Arenado hit a bases-loaded triple in St. Louis’ four-run sixth inning, Miles Mikolas pitched six strong innings and the Cardinals held on to beat Arizona.

Rockies 3, Yankees 2 >> Ryan McMahon lined a two-run double off the top of the center-field wall, Tanner Gordon got his first major league win and scuffling Colorado stopped a five-game skid with a victory over AL East-leading New York.

In front of a sellout crowd at Coors Field, the Rockies improved to 9-42, the most losses through 51 games since 1901. Colorado, which has yet to win a series this season, is 2-9 since Wayne Schaeffer replaced Bud Black as manager.
