Austin Wells had five RBIs in a 10-run seventh inning, hitting a tying single and then his first career grand slam, as the New York Yankees rolled to a 12-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
Aaron Judge launched his 12th homer of the season in the fourth for the Yankees, who snapped a three-game skid.
New York was leading 8-3 when Wells lifted a full-count changeup from ex-Yankee Wandy Peralta into the right-field seats to turn the game into a rout.
The Yankees had their biggest inning this season, getting seven hits off Adrian Morejon (1-1) and Peralta.
Fernando Tatis Jr. hit an RBI double in the seventh off Fernando Cruz (1-0) but the Padres left the bases loaded after taking a 3-2 lead.
Judge homered off former teammate Michael King to extend his on-base streak to 32 games.
Phillies 8, Rays 4: Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos all homered, and Zack Wheeler pitched seven solid innings as Philadelphia beat Tampa Bay. Castellanos hit a three-run shot to break open a close game in the eighth, and finished 3 for 5 with four RBIs. Schwarber, who homered to put the Phillies on the board in the second, had three hits and two RBIs.
Giants 14, Cubs 5: Patrick Bailey hit a tiebreaking single in San Francisco’s nine-run 11th inning, and the Giants beat Chicago. Bailey drove in Christian Koss with a liner to center against Ryan Pressly (2-2). Jung Hoo Lee had a run-scoring single and Matt Chapman singled home two more runs in San Francisco’s highest-scoring inning of the season. The Cubs trailed 5-3 before rallying in the ninth, handing Justin Verlander another no-decision after he was in position for his first win with the Giants.
Cardinals 2, Pirates 1: Alec Burleson hit a two-run double, Matthew Liberatore struck out eight in a season-high seven innings and St. Louis beat Pittsburgh.

Skenes fell to 0-4 in five career starts against St. Louis.
Rangers 6, Red Sox 1: Nathan Eovaldi struck out seven over six strong innings and Texas had 16 hits in its first game since adding Bret Boone as a hitting coach as the Rangers beat Boston. Eovaldi allowed just one run on five hits in rainy conditions that pushed back the start.
