St. Louis >> Sean Murphy, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Marcell Ozuna homered and the Atlanta Braves rallied against St. Louis’ two top relievers to beat the Cardinals 7-6 on Saturday.

Nacho Alvarez Jr., filling in for injured third baseman Austin Riley, singled twice and scored the winning run on Jurickson Profar’s ninth-inning groundout against closer Ryan Helsley (3-1).

Murphy, who hit the two longest home runs of this season at Busch Stadium on Friday night, put the Braves ahead 6-5 with a high drive that cleared the glove of José Fermín as he leaped at the left-field wall in the eighth. The three-run shot was Murphy’s 16th homer of the season and the first allowed by reliever Phil Maton in 37 appearances this season.

Guardians 6, White Sox 2 >> Kyle Manzardo hit a tiebreaking home run and All-Star Steven Kwan drove in two runs to help Cleveland beat Chicago.

Manzardo’s solo shot in the sixth off reliever Jordan Leasure (2-5) gave the Guardians a 3-2 lead and helped Tanner Bibee secure his first win since May 22.

Kwan had a sacrifice fly in the seventh, and he and Jose Ramirez added RBI singles in the ninth as Cleveland won for the fifth time in six games.

Mets 3, Royals 1 >> Juan Soto homered to lead New York past Kansas City.

Soto’s two-run shot into the right field fountains opened the scoring in the fourth. Over his last 20 games, Soto has nine home runs and 19 RBIs.

Frankie Montas (2-1) threw first-pitch strikes to 14 of 19 batters while allowing a run on four hits and striking out five.

Brewers 6, Nationals 5 >> Caleb Durbin hit an RBI single with one out in the ninth inning to cap a three-run rally and give Milwaukee a victory over Washington, the Brewers sixth consecutive victory.

Jackson Chourio singled to open the ninth against Kyle Finnegan (1-3), who came on to open the inning. Christian Yelich walked on four pitches and Andrew Vaughn followed with a two-run double to right-center to make it 5-all.

Pinch-runner Andruw Monasterio took third on a groundout. Brice Turang was walked intentionally and advanced to second on defensive indifference. Durbin then sliced a singled down the right-field line.

Reds 4, Rockies 3 >> Will Benson tied it in the ninth inning with an RBI triple and scored on second baseman Orlando Arcia’s fielding error to give Cincinnati a victory over Colorado.

Spencer Steer opened the inning with single off Victor Vodnik (3-3) and scored on Benson’s triple that nearly went out. Noelvi Marte — who earlier homered for the second straight game — then hit a ball to second that Arcia bobbled.

Emilio Pagan (2-2) escaped a first-and-third, no-out jam for the victory. He had not pitched since since Wednesday.

Marlins 6, Orioles >> Janson Junk allowed five hits over seven innings to prevail in a pitcher’s duel with former Marlins standout Trevor Rogers, Derek Hill drove in two runs and Xavier Edwards homered to help Miami beat Baltimore.

Dane Myers had two hits and scored a run for the Marlins, who cranked up their offense in the latter innings after being held to one single by Rogers through the sixth.

Junk (4-1) walked none and struck out two in the longest outing of his career. The right-hander had only two perfect innings, but repeatedly came up with the right pitch when it mattered.

Red Sox 1, Rays 0 >> All-Star Garrett Crochet pitched a three-hitter with nine strikeouts for his first career shutout and complete game, leading Boston past Tampa Bay for their ninth straight victory.

Carlos Narváez drove in the lone run for the Red Sox, who matched their longest winning streak since April 2021.

Mariners 15, Tigers 7 >>Randy Arozarena homered and scored four times as Seattle defeated Detroit.

Arozarena singled and scored in the second, was hit by a pitch and scored on Luke Raley’s homer in the third, and singled and scored in the seventh before hitting a two-run homer in the eighth.

Twins 12, Pirates 4 >> All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton hit for the cycle on his bobblehead day, completing it with a solo home run in the seventh inning, and Minnesota routed Pittsburgh.

Buxton hit a single in the first inning, a triple in the second and a double in the third. He singled again in the fifth before stepping to the plate in the seventh for one more chance at the first cycle ever at Target Field, which opened in 2010.

Cubs 5, Yankees 2 >> Cubs’ Matthew Boyd won a matchup of All-Star left-handers as Max Fried left early because of yet another blister on his pitching hand, and Chicago stopped New York’s five-game winning streak.

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Brad Keller, his 35th of the season, and became the fastest player to 350 home runs. Playing his 1,088th game, Judge bettered Mark McGwire’s 1,280.

Padres 5, Phillies 4 >> Jackson Merrill broke out of a slump with two home runs off All-Star Zack Wheeler, and Manny Machado hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning for San Diego, who won their second straight game against Philadelphia.

Astros 5, Rangers 4 (11 INN.) >> Zack Short hit a walk-off RBI single in the 11th inning after Christian Walker tied it with a sacrifice fly and Houston beat Texas.

Short hit a 1-1 pitch to right field off Hoby Milner after Robert Garcia (1-5) walked two to load the bases.
