Baseball-Highlights of Saturday's MLB games

July 30 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Saturday's Major League Baseball games. Tigers 3, Astros 2 Jose Iglesias beat out a single to first with two outs in the ninth to score Tyler Collins from third to cap a two-run rally that gave the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros and extend their winning streak to five games. James McCann tied the score at 2-2 with a line single to left on a 1-2 pitch by Houston closer Will Harris, who got the first two outs of the ninth but then walked Justin Upton and gave up a single to center to Collins. Collins advanced to third after McCann's hit when left fielder Alex Bregman's throw was offline and bounced away from catcher Evan Gattis for an error. Marlins 11, Cardinals 0 Colin Rea threw only 3 1/3 innings in his Miami debut and left with a sore right elbow, casting a pall over the Marlins. The Marlins' Ichiro Suzuki, who needs two hits to reach 3,000, entered the game as a defensive replacement and went 0-for-2. Rea pitched well, retiring 10 of the 11 batters he faced, including four by strikeout. He allowed no runs, just a soft single in the third. Indians 6, A's 3 Cleveland hit four home runs and Josh Tomlin pitched seven strong innings. Jason Kipnis, Jose Ramirez, Abraham Almonte and Mike Napoli all homered in support of Tomlin, who in seven innings gave up two runs and six hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. Rookie Dillon Overton started for Oakland and gave up five runs on 10 hits, including three home runs, in 3 1/3 innings. Rays 6, Yankees 3 Curt Casali hit his first home run in nearly two months and Drew Smyly picked up his first win since May, an unlikely combo helping the Tampa to its third straight win. Smyly had not won in his last 11 starts and yet came up with his second win against the Yankees this season, limiting New York to two runs and four hits in six innings. The Rays had other unlikely stars. Shortstop Tim Beckham hit a two-run homer in the seventh to add insurance against the Yankees, who have scored five total runs in its three-game losing streak. Blue Jays 9, Orioles 1 J.A. Happ struck out 11 in seven-plus innings, Kevin Pillar hit a pair of two-run doubles and Toronto moved into first place in the American League East. Devon Travis hit a solo homer and Russell Martin and Pillar each hit two-run doubles in the seven-run fifth as the Blue Jays moved a half-game ahead of the Orioles, who have lost five in a row. Happ held the Orioles to three hits, three walks and one run in winning his eighth straight decision. The left-hander has not lost since June 6. Mariners 4, Cubs 1 Leonys Martin hit a go-ahead, two-run double against closer Aroldis Chapman in the eighth inning to lift Seattle over Chicago. The Cubs led 1-0 in the eighth inning when Chapman entered the game with runners on second and third base and two outs. On a 1-1 count, Martin ripped the left-hander's third pitch to left-center field to score Shawn O'Malley and Nori Aoki. Martin later scored on a wild pitch by Chapman to make it 3-1. Chapman suffered his first blown save with the Cubs since coming over from the New York Yankees in a blockbuster trade Monday. It was his second blown save of the season. Giants 5, Nationals 3 Eduardo Nunez had two hits, including a two-run double, helping San Francisco rally from an early three-run deficit. Six relievers combined to shut out the Nationals on three hits and two walks over the final five innings, allowing the Giants to win for the first time in three tries in the series and only the third time since the All-Star break. Derek Law, the fourth Giants pitcher, was credited with the win after pitching one shutout inning. Closer Santiago Casilla pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 23rd save. White Sox 6, Twins 5, 10 innings Dioner Navarro delivered a go-ahead double to propel Chicago over Minnesota. Navarro's one-out double came off Fernando Abad. Navarro drove in Avisail Garcia, who led off the inning with a double to right. Chicago saw its 4-1 lead slip away and fell behind 5-4 in the bottom of the eighth after Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run home run to put the Twins up by one. Brewers 5, Pirates 3 Home runs from Hernan Perez and Kirk Nieuwenhuis were the difference as Milwaukee held on. Brewers starter Chase Anderson lasted only five innings, allowing an unearned run on four hits and a pair of walks while striking out a season-high seven. The Pirates got strong six innings from Jameson Taillon, who only allowed two runs on six hits and didn't walk a batter while striking out six. Padres 2, Reds 1, 10 innings Adam Rosales led off the bottom of the 10th with a walk-off home run off Cincinnati right-handed reliever Jumbo Diaz to give San Diego the win. Rosales drove a 2-2 pitch into the stands in left center. It was the fourth walk-off homer by a Padre this season. Padres relievers Jose Dominguez, Ryan Buchter, Brandon Maurer and Brad Hand each worked a perfect inning as San Diego pitchers retired the final 13 Cincinnati hitters in the game. Rangers 2, Royals 1 Mitch Moreland's solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning gave Texas a walk-off win over Kansas City. The win moved the Rangers five games ahead of the Houston Astros in the American League West, their largest lead since the All-Star break. The sliding Royals have lost seven of eight. Moreland's homer capped a night in which the Rangers got seven innings of one-run pitching from starter Martin Perez and two scoreless innings from Matt Bush. Rockies 7, Mets 2 Jorge De La Rosa earned his 100th career victory as he tossed six solid innings. The Rockies have won five straight and nine of 10 to reach .500 after the All-Star break for the first time since 2010. The skidding Mets have lost four straight and five of six to fall 2 1/2 games behind the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the National League's second wild card. Angels 5, Red Sox 2 Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer to lead Los Angeles over Boston. Hector Santiago won his sixth consecutive start despite throwing a season-high 119 pitches during his five innings. He allowed two runs, four hits, six walks and a wild pitch but finished with six strikeouts. Closer Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout for his ninth save. Phillies 9, Braves 5 If Philadelphia is really going to trade pitcher Jeremy Hellickson before Monday's deadline, he'll be leaving the Phillies on a high note. The right-hander allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and drove in two runs in Philadelphia's win. The losing pitcher was Julio Teheran, who was making his first start since a sore back caused him to take extra days off between appearances. Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2 Jean Segura's leadoff home run helped the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night before 49,540 at Dodger Stadium. The loss dropped the Dodgers two games behind the National League West-leading San Francisco Giants, who defeated the Washington Nationals earlier Saturday. The Diamondbacks won for only the fifth time in the last 23 games at Dodger Stadium. (Compiled by Peter Rutherford)
