CINCINNATI >> Gavin Sheets hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the San Diego Padres rallied past the Cincinnati Reds 6-4 on Saturday.
After the Padres were no-hit for eight innings in Friday night’s 8-1 loss, their bats woke up against the Cincinnati bullpen.
Jake Cronenworth took Scott Barlow deep in the sixth for a two-run shot that got San Diego within 4-3. Sheets then made it 6-4 with a 422-foot blast to right-center against Lyon Richardson (0-2).
Bryan Hoeing (1-0) got five outs in relief of Padres starter Randy Vasquez, and Robert Suarez worked the ninth, striking out Spencer Steer — who hit three homers on Friday — with two men on to secure his 23rd save.
Andrew Abbott had another strong start for the Reds, departing with a 4-1 lead after five innings. He allowed Luis Arraez’s homer in the fifth.
Sheets finished 3-for-5 with two doubles and saved a run with a diving catch of Rece Hinds’ liner to left in the fifth.
Cardinals 9, Guardians 6 >> Victor Scott II had two hits and two RBIs as St. Louis rallied for a victory over Cleveland.
Masyn Winn added three hits for St. Louis, and Brendan Donovan and Willson Contreras both homered. Donovan and Alec Burleson each drove in two runs.
Kyle Manzardo and Gabriel Arias went deep for the Guardians (40-41).
Red Sox 15, Blue Jays 1 >> Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer in the first inning to jump-start Boston’s offense, Ceddanne Rafaela added a two-run shot in the sixth, and the Red Sox snapped a season-high six-game losing streak with a victory over Toronto.
Romy Gonzalez also had a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who halted their worst skid since September 2022.
Marlins 8, Diamondbacks 7 (10 innings) >> Agustín Ramírez hit a run-scoring single in the 10th inning, Heriberto Hernández had a tying sacrifice fly in the ninth and Miami stretched its winning streak to six games with a victory over Arizona.
Arizona led 7-3 entering the eighth inning, but Miami’s Otto Lopez hit a two-run homer off Jalen Beeks and Liam Hicks followed with a run-scoring single to pull Miami to 7-6. Hernández tied it in ninth on a sacrifice fly off Shelby Miller after Dane Myers singled and stole two bases.
Rays 11, Orioles 3 >> Jonathan Aranda and Yandy Díaz each homered, Zack Littell pitched seven strong innings and Tampa Bay beat Baltimore.
Littell (7-7) gave up one run and three hits with two walks. It was the fifth time Littell has gone at least seven innings this season. Joe Rock got the last six outs in his major league debut and gave up Ramón Laureano’s 10th home run — a two-run shot in the ninth.
Brewers 5, Rockies 0 >> Quinn Priester struck out a career-high 11 batters in seven innings of one-hit ball, Joey Ortiz homered for the third time in four games, and Milwaukee extended its winning streak to four with a victory over Colorado.
Priester (6-2) allowed a one-out single to Michael Toglia in the fifth and walked a pair while throwing 95 pitches in the longest and best start of his three major league seasons.
Royals 9, Dodgers 5 >> Vinnie Pasquantino homered, doubled and drove in a career high-tying five runs, and Kansas City beat Shohei Ohtani and Los Angeles to snap an 11-game home losing streak.
Ohtani made his third start of the season and threw the fastest pitch of his career, a 101.7 mph fastball that induced an inning-ending double-play grounder by Pasquantino in the first.
Tigers 10, Twins 5 >> Zach McKinstry had three hits, including one of Detroit’s four home runs, and the Tigers beat Minnesota.
Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter and Gleyber Torres also homered for the Tigers.
Casey Mize (8-2) gave up two runs on five hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five as he improved to 5-0 with a 2.00 ERA in six starts at home this season.
Rangers 3, Mariners 2 (10 innings) >> Marcus Semien had an RBI single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and Texas beat Seattle.
Mariners reliever Andrés Muñoz (3-1) hit Josh Smith with his first pitch after striking out Sam Haggerty to begin the 10th. Corey Seager — who homered in the third to give Texas a 2-1 lead — fell behind in the count 1-2 before working a walk to load the bases with one out for Semien.
