The Orioles won for the 10th time in 14 games by scoring five of their runs in the seventh off Nestor Cortes and Jimmy Cordero (3-2) before one out was recorded. The first six batters reached base, and Adam Frazier struck out Cortes with a three-run homer that fell to the right field post.
New York’s Gleyber Torres struck out in straight hits in the third and fifth innings for the Yankees, who saw their five-game hitting streak snapped. Cortes allowed four runs on five hits in over six innings.

Cubs 4, Mets 2
Marcus Stroman allowed two runs in a season-high eight innings for his ninth quality start in 11 games this season as host Chicago defeated New York.

Phillies 6, Diamondbacks 5 (10 innings)
Alec Bohm hit a walkout single in the tenth inning as host Philadelphia overcame a two-run deficit in the ninth to earn a victory over Arizona.
Bohm sent the Phillies to their third win in 10 games after Trea Turner’s double homer in the ninth tied it at 5-5. Craig Kimbrel (3-1) bowled a scoreless tenth to earn the win.
The Diamondbacks’ Jose Ruiz drove in for the ninth and had two quick outs, but gave up on Bryson Stott’s single before serving Turner’s game-winning homer. Ruiz (1-1) also produced Bohm’s game-winning single.
White Sox 6, Guardians 0
A five-run fourth inning gave Michael Kopech all the support he needed in an outstanding start, and Chicago won the rubber game of the three-game series by defeating host Cleveland.
Kopech (3-4) hit nine in seven innings while allowing two hits and a walk. Kopech did not surrender his first hit until the fifth inning and, at that point, had a six-run lead thanks to the White Sox’ fourth-inning flood.
Guardians starter Cal Quantrill (2-3) pitched four innings and allowed six runs on four hits—the only four hits Chicago had in the entire game.
Rays 7, Blue Jays 3
Tampa Bay solved the mystery of Yusei Kikuchi, finally beating the Japanese southpaw en route to victory over Toronto in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Riley led off the inning with a strong double, his second of the game, off Phil Bickford (1-2) and went to third on Travis d’Arnaud’s groundout. The Dodgers intentionally walked Eddie Rosario before the Albies tackled Riley on the seventh pitch of his at bat.
The winning pitcher was Raisel Iglesias (1-1), who allowed runners on corners in the 9th before walking out Max Muncy to end the threat.
Reds 10, Cardinals 3
Spencer Steer had four career hits and drove in two as fellow rookie Matt McLain returned home to lead Cincinnati to a rout visiting St. Louis.
The Reds, who put up a season-high 18 hits, finally got around to St. Louis starter and underdog Steven Matz (0-6), who had been 4-0 with a 2.92 ERA in five appearances (four starts) against Cincinnati.
Cincinnati right-hander Ben Lively (2-2) had his first win as a starter since September 29, 2017, pitching six innings of two-run ball. McLain hit his second league homer in as many nights, after the ball exited the glove of Cardinals right fielder Oscar Mercado and into the bleachers.
Marlin 10, Rockies 2
Jonathan Davis hits between his three hits, Jorge Soler went deep for the second night in a row, and Miami hit Colorado in Denver.
Yuli Gurriel had four hits while Jacob Stallings and Soler each added two hits for the Marlins.

Miami starter Sandy Alcantara (2-5) allowed two runs on four hits in six innings.
Elias Diaz homered for the Rockies. Colorado starter Karl Kauffmann (0-2) gave up five runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Tigers 6, Royals 4
