METS 4, BRAVES 0

Pete Alonso had three hits and an RBI and New York overcame the loss of starting pitcher Griffin Canning to injury in the third inning Thursday night for a victory over Atlanta and a split of the four-game series.

The Mets, who had lost 10 of 11 games before a 7-3 win over the Braves on Wednesday night, moved back into first place in the NL East, a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Canning worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings before suffering a left ankle injury on a non-contact play while trying to race off the mound.

After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said it “looks like an Achilles injury.” The team said he would undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury.

TIGERS 8, ATHLETICS 0

Dietrich Enns pitched five scoreless innings in his return to the majors as Detroit beat the Athletics.

Enns (1-0) gave up a single and two walks in his first game since he threw two scoreless innings for the Tampa Bay Rays against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 24, 2021.

The 34-year-old pitched for the Seibu Lions in Japan from 2022-23 before going 13-6 last season for the LG Twins in South Korea.

Jeffrey Springs (5-6) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings.

RAYS 4, ROYALS 0

Shane Baz allowed three hits over a career-best eight innings, Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero hit back-to-back homers in the sixth, and Tampa Bay beat Kansas City for a three-game sweep.

Baz (8-3) struck out nine and walked one. Jacob Lowe had three hits for the Rays, and Jake Mangum hit a run-scoring triple.

Tampa Bay has won five of six to move a season-high 11 games above .500 (46-35) and a half-game behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees, who were off Thursday.

CUBS 3, CARDINALS 0

Shota Imanaga returned from the injured list to throw five innings of one-hit ball, lifting Chicago to a victory over St. Louis for a split of a four-game series.

Michael Busch homered and singled and Carson Kelly also had two hits for the NL Central-leading Cubs.

St. Louis was shut out in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Five Chicago pitchers combined on a three-hitter.

ASTROS 2, PHILLIES 1

Cam Smith hit an RBI single in the eighth inning to give Houston a win over Philadelphia.

The rookie’s second hit of the game came off Orion Kerkering (5-3) and gave the Astros their fourth straight win.

Kevin Gausman threw eight innings of two-hit ball, Alejandro Kirk and Nathan Lukes drove in two runs apiece and Toronto beat Cleveland to win the three-game series.

MARLINS 12, GIANTS 5

Kyle Stowers and Agustín Ramírez each homered and Miami beat San Francisco to complete a three-game series sweep.

Xavier Edwards had a two-run double for Miami, which has won four straight overall, five of six, and six straight on the road.

Stowers hit a three-run homer in the first and Ramírez hit a two-run shot in the third — both off Giants starter Hayden Birdsong — to give Miami a 5-0 lead.

Devers hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the third, and the Giants tied it in the fourth when June Hoo Lee’s leadoff triple keyed a three-run inning.
