BRYSON Stott had three hits and three RBIs, Trea Turner rapped four hits and drove in two runs, and the host Philadelphia Phillies survived Miami’s six-run uprising in the ninth inning to beat the Marlins 11-10 on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Johan Rojas added three hits and three runs, and Max Kepler also had two RBIs for the Phillies, who have won three in a row.

Miami dropped its fifth straight but did not go quietly, tagging Phillies closer Jordan Romano with all six runs. Dane Myers hit a three-run homer in the ninth, Graham Pauley added an RBI double and Liam Hicks slammed a two-run homer before Jose Alvarado came on to record the final out for his fifth save of the season.

The Phillies tagged Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (1-2) with seven runs in his 3 1/3 innings. Philadelphia starter Taijuan Walker left after four innings due to right shoulder tightness, and Matt Strahm (1-0) pitched a scoreless fifth inning to get the win.

In other games, it was the Rangers 4, Dodgers 3; Rays 10, Yankees 8 (10 innings); Giants 3, Angels 2; Tigers 3, Royals 1; Braves 4, Twins 3; Athletics 3, Brewers 1; Cubs 6, Diamondbacks 2; Mariners 8, Blue Jays 4 (12 innings); Mets 3, Cardinals 0; Guardians 3, Pirates 0; Orioles 9, Reds 5; Red Sox 4, White Sox 3 (10 innings); Nationals 12, Rockies 11; and Astros 3, Padres 2.

Rangers 4, Dodgers 3

Adolis Garcia hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning to give Texas the win over Los Angeles in the middle game of a three-game interleague series in Arlington, Texas.

Garcia’s blast over the left field wall came off the Dodgers’ Kirby Yates—who was the Rangers’ closer in 2024—and followed a leadoff double by Josh Smith. The home run was Garcia’s fourth of the season, and it made a winner out of Jacob Webb (2-0). Yates (1-1) had his first blown save of the year.

Six players had one hit each for Los Angeles, which had a four-game winning streak snapped. Texas managed just five hits but evened the series while winning for the fourth time in five games. Shohei Ohtani missed his second straight game while on the paternity list. His wife gave birth to a daughter, it was announced Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Rays 10, Yankees 8 (10 innings)

Jonathan Aranda hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning after Tampa Bay tied the game with four runs in the ninth against visiting New York.

The Rays snapped their four-game losing streak on Aranda’s fourth homer this season, a 365-foot shot against Yoendrys Gomez (1-1) into the right-center field seats. Edwin Uceta (1-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief to earn the win for Tampa Bay, which ended New York’s five-game winning streak. Yandy Diaz had three hits and two RBIs.

The Rays scored four runs with one out in the bottom of the ninth against Yankees closer Devin Williams. Trent Grisham hit a solo homer and Aaron Judge had three hits and three RBIs for New York, which led 6-4 before adding two runs in the ninth.
