MAX Muncy hit a grand slam in the sixth and a three-run homer in the seventh to help host Los Angeles rally for a 13-7 win against Washington in the rubber game of their three-game series on Sunday (Monday in Manila).
The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani had a three-run triple in the seventh, a two-run homer in the eighth and also made his second start on the mound since returning from a nearly two-year absence because of elbow surgery. He threw a scoreless first inning with two strikeouts.
Nathaniel Lowe homered for the third time in the last two games for the Nationals, who had won two of three following an 11-game losing streak. Washington starter Michael Soroka took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before getting into trouble in the sixth. He allowed three runs and two hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out a career-high 10 and walking two.
Ben Casparius (6-1) allowed three runs and five hits in five innings of relief for Los Angeles.
In other games, it was the Yankees 4, Orioles 2; Tigers 9, Rays 3; White Sox 4, Blue Jays 2; Marlins 5, Braves 3; Brewers 9, Twins 8; Reds 4, Cardinals 1; Pirates 8, Rangers 3; Mariners 14, Cubs 6; Rockies 4, Diamondbacks 2; Guardians 3, Athletics 0; Giants 9, Red Sox 5; Astros 8, Angels 7; Padres 3, Royals 2; and Phillies 7, Mets 1.
Yankees 4, Orioles 2
Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead two-run double with one out in the eighth inning and New York earned a series-clinching victory over visiting Baltimore.
Chisholm had his seventh multi-hit game since returning from an oblique injury on June 3. He scored on an RBI single by DJ LeMahieu in the second on a play that knocked out Orioles catcher Maverick Handley and scored an insurance run in the eighth. Rookie starter Will Warren yielded two first-inning runs but pitched into the seventh for the Yankees.
Ryan O’Hearn hit an RBI single and Colton Cowser hit an RBI double in the first inning, but Baltimore dropped its second straight after winning 14 of 20. Starter Dean Kremer allowed one run on five hits in 5 2/3 innings. Bryan Baker (2-3) gave up Chisholm’s go-ahead hit and took the loss.
Tigers 9, Rays 3
Wenceel Perez belted a two-run homer and drove in three runs and Parker Meadows hit a three-run blast to give Detroit a comfortable victory over host Tampa Bay.
The team, which has a large Latino fan base, said it would partner with the city to get the money to those in ‘critical need,’ and that additional community efforts would be announced in the coming days.
Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene each scored twice for the Tigers, who avoided losing more than three consecutive games for the first time since dropping five straight July 28-Aug. 2, 2024.
Before Perez’s go-ahead blast in the seventh, the Rays’ Junior Caminero tied the game in the fourth with his 379-foot homer to left field. It was his team-leading 19th blast of the season, the most by a Tampa Bay player before the All-Star break since Brandon Lowe hit 21 in 2021.
