Blue Jays: Addison Barger put the Blue Jays ahead with a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the hosts rallied past the reeling Athletics 8-4 on Sunday to finish a four-game sweep. Barger’s drive to right field off Justin Sterner (1-2) extended the Athletics’ losing streak to six games. They’ve dropped 17 of 18 overall. The 412-foot drive was Barger’s fifth home run this season and third in three games. The Blue Jays scored six times in the eighth, their second-biggest inning of the series. They scored eight runs in the second inning of a 12-0 blowout Thursday. A’s pitchers have allowed at least one home run in 14 consecutive games, giving up 32 total homers in that span. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk each had two hits and drove in a pair as the Blue Jays won their fifth straight and ninth in the last 13 games. Erik Swanson (1-0) got the win despite allowing a run in his one inning of work. Jeff Hoffman finished for the Blue Jays. Swanson was making his first appearance of the season after being activated off the injured list before the game. He’d been sidelined since spring training because of a nerve issue in his arm.

Mets: Francisco Lindor once again homered in a victory and Clay Holmes threw a career-high seven innings as the Mets completed a three-game sweep of the visiting Rockies with a 5-3 win. Pete Alonso hit a three-run shot and Juan Soto also went deep as the Mets won for the seventh time in eight games to regain sole possession of first place in the NL East. Holmes (5-3) gave up three hits — including Orlando Arcia’s first-inning solo HR and Tyler Freeman’s two-run shot in the fifth. He struck out three and walked none. The Rockies lost their eighth straight and fell to 9-50, the worst record through 59 games of any major league team in the modern era. Lindor snapped a 3-all tie with a solo shot in the fifth. The Mets have won the last 26 games in which Lindor has homered, the second-longest streak in big league history.

Guardians: José Ramírez homered during a three-run fourth, Gavin Williams allowed only one hit in 6 2/3 innings and the Guardians beat the visiting Angels 4-2. Williams (5-3) had a no hitter through 5 2/3 innings until Zach Neto’s single to right field in the sixth. Williams ended up allowing two unearned runs with two walks and six strikeouts. Ramírez extended the Guardians’ lead to 2-0 when he connected on a slider from Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz and put it into the stands in right-center for his team-leading 11th HR to lead off the fourth. Nolan Jones added a two-run single with the bases loaded for the other runs in the inning as the Guardians took two of three games in the series.

Orioles: Charlie Morton pitched effectively into the seventh, and the host Orioles beat Adrian Houser and the White Sox 3-2 for their first series sweep of the season. Ramón Urías had two hits and drove in a run for the last-place Orioles, who limited the White Sox to five runs in the three games. The Orioles’ three-game winning streak matches their longest of the year. Mike Tauchman homered for the White Sox, who have lost six of seven and fell to 6-26 on the road. The 41-year-old Morton (2-7) gave up one unearned run and six hits over 6 2/3 innings.

Red Sox: Trevor Story had a three-run double in the first and Garrett Crochet struck out 12 in seven innings of one-run ball, leading the Red Sox to a 3-1 road win against the Braves. Story went 2 for 3 and just missed a grand slam in the first when he hit a 1-0 pitch from Bryce Elder 413 feet off the top of the wall in center, driving in the Red Sox’s only runs. The 25-year-old Crochet (5-4) is tied with the Nationals’ MacKenzie Gore for the major league lead with 101 strikeouts this season.
