Monday’s other MLB games

INTERLEAGUE

Braves 10, Blue Jays 6

TORONTO

Freddie Freeman hit his 13th homer, Nick Markakis had three RBIs and Atlanta snapped Toronto’s five-game win streak. Matt Kemp had four hits and scored three times for the Braves, who have won three of four. Freeman matched Washington’s Ryan Zimmerman and Milwaukee’s Eric Thames atop the NL home run leaderboard with a three-run shot off Leonel Campos. Freeman’s long drive to center was the big blow in Atlanta’s four-run sixth. Freeman has connected against all 10 opposing teams Atlanta has faced this season. Bartolo Colon (2-4) allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings to win for the first time since April 16. Colon allowed fewer than four runs for the third time in eight starts this season.

Astros 7, Marlins 2

MIAMI

Short on sleep, Houston finally stirred in the sixth inning when Yuli Gurriel hit a grand slam to help beat Miami. The Astros arrived at their hotel at 5 a.m. after a doubleheader in New York against the Yankees, and were listless and hitless against Dan Straily until the fifth inning. Josh Reddick doubled in the sixth off Junichi Tazawa (1-1), and after a walk and a hit batter loaded the bases, Gurriel pulled a 94 mph fastball over the fence with two out for a 4-1 lead. It was the Astros’ second grand slam of the year, and their second in two games. Alex Bregman hit one in Sunday night’s win at Yankee Stadium.
