CASEY Schmitt hit a leadoff homer to spark a four-run ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 in Denver on Tuesday night (Wednesday in Manila).

Willy Adames also went deep and Wilmer Flores had two hits for the Giants, who have won a franchise-record six straight games by one run — the first team to do that since the 1989 California Angels. Schmitt’s first home run of the season started the rally.

Erik Miller (3-0) got one out for the win and Camilo Doval navigated a shaky ninth to earn his 10th save.

Ryan McMahon and Kyle Farmer homered and Brenton Doyle and Hunter Goodman had two hits each for the Rockies, who dropped their fourth straight. Reliever Zach Agnos (0-3) allowed all four runs on one hit and three walks.

In other games, it was the Cubs 8, Phillies 4; Diamondbacks 10, Mariners 3; Mets 5, Nationals 4 (10 innings); Red Sox 3, Rays 1; Angels 2, Athletics 1 (10 innings); Yankees 10, Royals 2; Padres 11, Dodgers 1; Rangers 16, Twins 4; Brewers 4, Braves 1; Tigers 5, Orioles 3; Marlins 3, Pirates 2; Reds 1, Guardians 0; Blue Jays 10, Cardinals 9; and White Sox 4, Astros 2.

Cubs 8, Phillies 4

Ian Happ hit two of Chicago’s four home runs to beat host Philadelphia.

Happ, who also homered in Monday’s series opener, has four home runs in eight games on the Cubs’ road trip after entering the trek with three homers in 50 games. Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch also homered for Chicago, which had lost four of its previous six contests.

Max Kepler and Alec Bohm each drove in two runs for Philadelphia, which has lost 10 of its last 12. Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh went 2-for-2 before leaving with left elbow soreness.

Diamondbacks 10, Mariners 3

Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Gabriel Moreno and Alek Thomas homered and Corbin Carroll hit a pair of RBI triples as Arizona topped visiting Seattle.

Moreno hit a three-run homer to ignite a five-run sixth inning after missing the previous three games with a right hand contusion. Carroll had his second two-triple game of the season and leads the majors with eight triples. Ketel Marte extended his on-base streak to 23 games with a single and two walks for the Diamondbacks.

Rowdy Tellez homered and singled while Randy Arozarena also went deep for the Mariners, who have lost seven of eight. Julio Rodriguez, Cole Young and Jorge Polanco had two hits apiece.
