AMERICAN LEAGUE
Athletics 8, Tigers 3
DETROIT
Matt Olson homered, Jed Lowrie drove in three runs and Oakland beat Detroit. Tigers reliever Nicholas Castellanos had three hits for the Tigers. Raul Alcantara pitched 32/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits. Liam Hendriks (4-2), the third of six Oakland pitchers, got the win with 12/3 scoreless innings.
Yankees 2, Twins 1
NEW YORK
Aaron Judge hit his 44th home run, Aroldis Chapman pitched out of big trouble in the eighth inning and New York edged Minnesota. Todd Frazier hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the sixth, and Jaime Garcia gave the Yankees a splendid performance. Judge homered to right-center in the first off hard-luck loser Ervin Santana (15-8), who won his previous four decisions. The All-Star righty gave up seven hits in 52/3 innings. David Robertson (9-2) retired all four hitters he faced.
Red Sox 10, Orioles 8
BALTIMORE
Andrew Benintendi hit a two-run single in the 11th inning, Mookie Betts had four RBIs and Boston beat Baltimore for their ninth win in 12 games. Xander Bogaerts homered and scored three runs for the Red Sox. Boston erased a five-run deficit with a six-run fifth inning and needed 10 pitchers to beat a skidding Orioles team that has now lost 10 of 12.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Phillies 4, Dodgers 3
PHILADELPHIA
Aaron Altherr hit a grand slam, the first ever given up by Clayton Kershaw, to lead Philadelphia past Los Angeles. Chris Taylor and Justin Turner led off the game with consecutive homers and Curtis Granderson also went deep for the Dodgers. Kerhshaw (17-4) was cruising until the sixth, when he allowed a bloop single by Freddy Galvis between a pair of walks to load the bases for Altherr. The Phillies outfielder crushed Kershaw’s 1-1 breaking ball 418 feet to left to give Philadelphia a 4-2 advantage.
Marlins 13, Mets 1
MIAMI
Giancarlo Stanton hit his 55th homer — and his first in nine days — while driving in four runs to help Miami beat New York. Stanton hit a three-run line drive into the home run sculpture at Marlins Park in the fourth inning against Matt Harvey (5-6). Stanton added a run-scoring single in Miami’s seven-run fifth. Marcell Ozuna had four hits. Dee Gordon had four hits, among them a two-run triple. Ichiro Suzuki added two hits and an RBI, while rookie Brian Anderson drove in two runs with his first career triple.
