Zach Neto had three hits, including a homer, Nolan Schanuel added a two-run blast and José Soriano allowed only three hits in seven scoreless innings to lead the visiting Los Angeles Angels to a 5-1 victory over the weak-hitting Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.
Soriano (6-5) had seven strikeouts and did not allow a baserunner to reach second base. Neto scored three runs.
Matt Olson’s first-inning single to right field extended his streak of reaching base to 33 games, the majors’ longest active streak. Jo Adell’s first-inning single extended his hitting streak to 14 games, the Angels’ longest this season.
Marlins 4, Twins 1: Agustín Ramírez hit a two-run home run, Xavier Edwards singled twice and host Miami won its fourth straight series with a victory over Minnesota.
Eury Pérez (1-2) struck out a season-high seven and walked one in six innings of one-hit ball for his first win since June 25, 2023, against Pittsburgh. Cade Gibson relieved Pérez in the seventh after 80 pitches.
The Marlins (39-46) have won 10 of their past 12 — including an eight-game winning streak — and have the same record as the Atlanta Braves for third in the NL East.
Nationals 11, Tigers 7: James Wood had a career-high five hits, including his 23rd home run hours after being named to the Home Run Derby, Jake Irvin survived a rocky first to pitch six solid innings and host Washington beat Detroit.
Wood also had four singles, two RBIs and scored three runs.
Alex Call had three hits for the Nationals, who have won three of four. Paul DeJong, in his third game back from the injured list, added a three-run homer.
After allowing three runs and three hits in the first, Irvin (7-3) tossed five scoreless innings and did not allow another hit.
It was career win No. 500 for Nationals manager Dave Martinez.
Mets 3, Brewers 2: Brandon Nimmo homered again, Juan Soto came through with a tiebreaking single and host New York held off Milwaukee.
David Peterson (6-4) rebounded from a pair of rough starts, tossing 6 2/3 effective innings to give the Mets’ injury-ravaged rotation a much-needed boost.
Pete Alonso added an RBI double as New York took two of three from the Brewers — just as they did in their wild-card series during the National League playoffs last October.
Next stop, the second Subway Series of the season against the crosstown-rival New York Yankees.
Blue Jays 8, Yankees 5: George Springer hit two two-run home runs and host Toronto beat New York to complete a four-game sweep and take sole possession of the AL East lead.
Addison Barger had a solo homer among his three hits for New York. Aaron Judge drew his 23rd intentional walk in the eighth, matching Mickey Mantle’s 1957 team record.
Rockies 7, Astros 6: Thairo Estrada hit a two-run homer in the first inning and drove in four runs to help host Colorado beat Houston.
The Rockies improved to 9-34 at home, still the worst home start in the modern era. Colorado has lost all 14 series at Coors Field.
