Wednesday’s other MLB games

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Giants 6, Mets 5

NEW YORK

Christian Arroyo broke a ninth-inning tie with a three-run double and San Francisco took advantage of a critical error by third baseman Wilmer Flores, rallying past New York to stop a five-game losing streak. Hunter Pence hit a tying single off closer Jeurys Familia in a four-run ninth that gave the Giants (12-23) only their third victory in 11 games. Buster Posey homered again for San Francisco.

Rockies 3, Cubs 0

DENVER

German Marquez allowed three hits over eight innings and got his first major league hit with a two-run single in the seventh to lead Colorado over Chicago. Marquez had a no-hit bid going until Kris Bryant’s double leading off the seventh inning. He walked Kyle Schwarber in the first and retired 16 straight before Bryant’s hit to left.

Cardinals 7, Marlins 5

MIAMI

Dexter Fowler hit a pinch-hit, go-ahead triple and St. Louis overcame a four-run deficit for the second game in a row, rallying past Miami to complete a trip that by one measure ranked as the franchise’s best ever. The Cardinals went 6-0 on their swing through Atlanta and Miami. It’s the first time they’ve gone undefeated on a trip of at least six games in their 126-year history.

LATE TUESDAY

Dodgers 4, Pirates 3, 10 innings

LOS ANGELES

Austin Barnes hit an RBI pinch-double with one out in the 10th inning to lift Los Angeles over Pittsburgh. Barnes lined the first pitch he saw from Daniel Hudson (0-2) into the gap in right-center field. Pitcher Ross Stripling scored from first after pinch running for Yasmani Grandal, who led off the 10th with a single.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Athletics 3, Angels 1

OAKLAND, CALIF.

Andrew Triggs overcame a shaky start to pitch six innings, Chad Pinder homered and Oakland held on to beat Los Angeles. Triggs (5-2) walked his first three batters on 14 pitches, struck out Luis Valbena, allowed Jefry Marte to hit into a forceout and escaped further trouble when Ben Revere flied out on his 27th pitch.

Rays 12, Royals 1

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Chris Archer pitched eight shutout innings Wednesday night and Logan Morrison, Rickie Weeks Jr., and Colby Rasmus homered for Tampa Bay in a victory over Kansas City. Archer (3-1) won for the first time in five starts since April 14 to help the Rays break a three-game losing streak. He scattered five singles and walked none.

INTERLEAGUE

Astros 4, Braves 2

HOUSTON

Carlos Correa had two doubles and two RBIs to help Houston to a win over Atlanta to give them the best 34-game start in franchise history. The Astros had two outs and two on in the fifth when Correa’s double off Jaime Garcia (1-2) landed in the left-field corner to score two runners for a 3-2 lead. Garcia walked Evan Gattis, and Yuli Gurriel’s single scored Correa.

Mariners 11, Phillies 6

PHILADELPHIA

Carlos Ruiz hit a three-run double against his old team, Robinson Cano and Danny Valencia homered and Seattle beat Philadelphia. Ruiz earned another standing ovation a day after he returned and was honored with a video tribute that highlighted his career with the Phillies. Ruiz was 3 for 30 this season before clearing the bases with a liner off the left-field wall in the seventh inning.

Nationals 7, Orioles 6

WASHINGTON

Matt Wieters hit a winning, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning against his former team, and Washington rallied to beat Baltimore and end the Orioles’ six-game winning streak. Washington trailed 6-2 in the seventh before coming back. Down by two in the ninth, the Nationals rallied against Brad Brach (0-1).

Rangers 5, Padres 4

ARLINGTON, TEXAS

Delino DeShields scored the tiebreaking run on a throwing error in the seventh, two innings after going home on a balk, and Texas beat San Diego. In a game that the Rangers were 1 of 13 with runners in scoring position, they also scored on a wild pitch. DeShields drew a one-out walk before Shin-Soo Choo also walked. Elvis Andrus then hit a potential double-play grounder, but second baseman Yangervis Solarte’s throw went wide.
