BALTIMORE >> Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lead the Minnesota Twins to their 10th straight victory, 8-6 over the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Minnesota rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win the opener 6-3, then fell behind 6-4 before coming back in the second game. The Twins trailed by a run when Willi Castro led off the eighth with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a balk by Yennier Cano (0-3). After a walk to Royce Lewis, Clemens hit a drive to right to give Minnesota the lead.

Kody Funderburk (1-0) won in relief. Cole Sands pitched a perfect ninth for his first save.

The Orioles scored six runs in the third — thanks largely to a grand slam by Cedric Mullins and a solo shot by Heston Kjerstad — but managed no further scoring.

Trevor Larnach hit a two-run homer in the second for Minnesota. The Twins led 4-0 before Baltimore’s big third inning.

Minnesota outfielder Harrison Bader left the game with left groin tightness. First baseman Ty France didn’t play after leaving the opener with a foot issue.

Tigers 6, Red Sox 5 >> Justyn-Henry Malloy hit a pinch-hit single in the ninth to end the game and give Detroit a win over Boston.

Aroldis Chapman (2-2) walked Andy Ibáñez to start the inning. Connor Wong threw the ball into center field as Ibáñez stole second, putting a runner on third. Malloy hit for Akil Baddoo and lined a single to center.

Marlins 3, Cubs 1 >> Kyle Stowers hit a pair of solo home runs and tripled, Ryan Weathers tossed five strong innings in his return to the rotation and Miami topped Chicago to end a three-game slide.

Agustín Ramírez also homered and doubled to help Miami avoid being swept at foggy Wrigley Field and win for just the fourth time in 17. Stowers homered for the second straight game to increase his season total to 10.

Nationals 5, Braves 4 >> James Wood’s eighth-inning double drove in the go-ahead run and Washington rallied to beat Atlanta and end its seven-game losing streak.

Atlanta led 4-1 after Bryce Elder allowed five hits and one run in six innings. The Braves were let down by their bullpen as Aaron Bummer allowed two unearned runs in the seventh before Enyel De Los Santos (1-2) lost the lead in the eighth.

Pirates 4, Mets 0 >> Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo each connected for a two-run homer off New York starter Clay Holmes, and Pittsburgh finally mustered some offense in a victory at rainy Citi Field.

Five pitchers combined on a six-hitter as the last-place Pirates (15-29) won for the fourth time in 17 games to prevent a series sweep. They’re 3-3 under Don Kelly, promoted from bench coach to manager when Derek Shelton was fired last week.

Rangers 8, Rockies 3 >> Colorado lost to Texas to become the first team in baseball’s modern era to lose 36 of its first 43 games.

Wyatt Langford and Adolis García hit opposite-field, two-run home runs and Patrick Corbin struck out six consecutive batters among a season-high nine for the Rangers.

Astros 4, Royals 3 >> Jeremy Peña had a season-high four hits, capped by a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning, to give Houston a win over Kansas City.

The Astros trailed by 1 when Zach Dezenzo singled with one out in the eighth and was lifted for pinch-runner Chas McCormick. Mauricio Dubón’s second double of the game dropped into the left field corner and scored McCormick, tying the game and chasing Michael Lorenzen (3-4).

Phillies 2, Cardinals 1, Game 1; Cardinals 14, Phillies 7, Game 2 >> Alec Burleson had a homer among his three hits and drove in four runs as St. Louis outslugged Philadelphia in the second game of a day-night doubleheader.

Burleson was one of three Cardinals to homer off Phillies starter Aaron Nola (1-7), who gave up the most hits in any start in his 11-year career, as St. Louis earned a split after losing the opener.

Lars Nootbaar and Masyn Winn also homered off of Nola, who allowed nine runs and 12 hits in 3 2/3 innings.

Yankees 3, Mariners 2 >> Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning as New York beat Seattle.

The Yankees trailed for most of the contest thanks to a couple strong plays from Seattle’s Julio Rodríguez. The Mariners’ center fielder robbed Trent Grisham of a leadoff home run and then drove in a pair of runs in the third inning.

Brewers 9, Guardians 5 >> Rhys Hoskins homered and drove in five runs, Jake Bauers had two RBIs and Milwaukee beat Cleveland to avoid a series sweep.

Hoskins’ single in the three-run sixth plated William Contreras with the go-ahead score and his two-run homer in the seventh made it 7-2. He drove in two more in the ninth with a single for his fourth hit of the afternoon.

Blue Jays 3, Rays 1 >> Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning and Toronto beat Tampa Bay.

Brendon Little (2-0) got four outs for the win, Yariel Rodríguez pitched the eighth and Yimi García finished for his third save in six chances.

White Sox 4, Reds 2 >> Davis Martin pitched one-run ball into the seventh inning, and Chicago beat slumping Cincinnati for its season-high third consecutive win.

Lenyn Sosa and Michael A. Taylor homered as Chicago improved to 14-29 with its fourth victory in five games overall. The White Sox were 13-30 after 43 games in 2024, when they went 41-121 to break the post-1900 major league record for losses in a season.
