AMERICAN LEAGUE

Angels 8, Yankees 3

NEW YORK

Cameron Maybin hit a tiebreaking home run off struggling reliever Tyler Clippard to spark a three-run seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels beat New York to extend the Yankees’ losing streak to seven games. Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 24th home run and Gary Sanchez his 12th as New York climbed back from a 3-0 deficit.

Rangers 6, Blue Jays 1

ARLINGTON

Adrian Beltre had a solo homer in the eighth for his 2,960th career hit as the Rangers (35-35) got back to .500. Delino DeShields led off for the Rangers with a bunt single and scored on an RBI groundout by Beltre before Gomez’s seventh homer and run-scoring hits from Jonathan Lucroy and Mike Napoli.

Red Sox 8, Royals 3

KANSAS CITY

Chris Sale shut down the Kansas City Royals while pitching into the ninth inning, and a rag-tag bunch of Boston Red Sox filling in for injured starters pounded their way to a victory that moved them into first place in the AL East. Sale (9-3) gave up a homer to Mike Moustakas in the second and a two-run shot to Jorge Bonifacio in the ninth before departing two outs shy of his second consecutive complete game. He allowed four hits and fanned 10, pushing his major league-leading strikeout total to 146 this season.

The NL East leaders went 7 for 14 with runners in scoring position. Gonzalez (7-1) allowed three runs, struck out eight and won his fourth straight decision.

Giants 6, Braves 3

ATLANTA

Austin Slater hit a three-run homer after the Braves botched a potential double-play grounder, sparking the San Francisco Giants to a victory over Atlanta that snapped a seven-game losing streak. Matt Moore (3-7) pitched seven strong innings for his first win in over a month, and the shaky Giants bullpen protected the lead. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his 11th save in 15 chances.

Cardinals 8, Phillies 1 11 innings

PHILADELPHIA

Yadier Molina and Tommy Pham both homered in a seven-run 11th inning to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies. Stephen Piscotty had a two-run double off Casey Fien after Edubray Ramos (0-5) started the inning with two walks. Molina and Pham followed with homers as the Cardinals had their biggest output of the season in an inning. Kevin Siegrist (1-1) pitched one inning in relief to earn the win. Mike Leake started the game for St. Louis and allowed one run and three hits in six innings. Jeremy Hellickson gave up six hits and a run in seven innings. His only blemish was a solo homer for Jedd Gyorko in the second inning.
