Jarren Duran's single to right drove in Masataka Yoshida with the game-winning run as the Boston Red Sox survived a comeback by their rivals and completed a four-game sweep of the visiting New York Yankees with a 5-4 victory on Sunday night.

Duran capped a three-run 10th inning that included an RBI single by Anthony Seigler which drove in Caleb Durbin and a Tsung-Che Cheng sacrifice fly that scored Andruw Monasterio, giving the Red Sox their first four-game sweep of the Yankees since 2018.

Boston starting pitcher Sonny Gray tossed 7 1/3 hitless innings but lost his bid for a no-hitter when Amed Rosario singled in the eighth. Gray was pulled following Rosario's hit. The right-hander walked one and struck out nine.

The Yankees tied the game with their first two runs in the ninth against Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman and then took a two-run lead in the top of the 10th, with errors by Boston right fielder Wilyer Abreu hurting its cause in both innings. New York starter Carlos Rodon allowed one hit and two unearned runs over five innings.


Phillies 5, Mets 4

Kyle Schwarber hit his 30th home run -- a go-ahead, two-run shot with one out in the seventh inning -- off Kodai Senga (0-7) as Philadelphia downed host New York.

Schwarber reached 30 homers for the sixth straight season and eighth time in his career. Schwarber's homer also helped the Phillies improve to 38-18 in their past 56 games and move 10 games over .500 for the second time in three days.

Besides homering, Schwarber also singled and stole second during a three-run third that gave Philadelphia a 3-0 lead. The Phillies' Jesus Luzardo allowed one run on four hits while escaping two major jams in five innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked three.

Cubs 4, Brewers 3 (10 innings)

Chicago scored three times in the top of the 10th inning and held on to edge host Milwaukee in the rubber match of a three-game series.

Jacob Webb (3-2) gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth to earn the win for the Cubs, who have won six of their past seven games. Ryan Rolison allowed one run on two hits in two innings as the opener.

With Justin Dean on as the automatic runner and two out, reliever Joel Kuhnel (1-3) intentionally walked Pete Crow-Armstrong, then hit a batter, issued a four-pitch walk and gave up a single. In the bottom of the 10th, the Brewers scored two and had the bases loaded with no outs, but Jordan Wicks struck out Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez grounded into a double play to end the game.

Nationals 6, Orioles 4

Luis Garcia Jr. homered twice and drove in five runs to propel Washington to a second straight victory in Baltimore to give the Nationals the series victory over the Orioles.

Garcia's 15th and 16th long balls of the season came in the fifth and seventh innings. He also went deep Saturday night. Zack Littell (7-6) worked five innings, allowing two runs on three hits with two walks and three strikeouts. He broke a personal two-game losing streak.

Pete Alonso and Jackson Holliday hit two-run homers for Baltimore, which has lost four of its last five games. Colton Cowser added two hits for the Orioles, who were limited to five hits. Starter Kyle Bradish (5-8) was charged with four runs (three earned) in four innings. He surrendered one hit but walked five with two strikeouts.

Pirates 9, Reds 4

Ryan O'Hearn hit a pair of home runs and Esmerlyn Valdez homered for the third consecutive game to lead host Pittsburgh past Cincinnati to avoid a sweep in the three-game series.

O'Hearn's first broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the fifth inning when he smacked a 421-foot solo shot to right field off Reds starter Brady Singer (3-7), who gave up five runs on nine hits, including two home runs, and struck out six over 4 1/3 innings. O'Hearn's second sparked a four-run bottom of the eighth.

Pirates starter Mitch Keller (6-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk, and the right-hander struck out four over six innings.

Rangers 3, Blue Jays 2

Pinch runner Jarred Kelenic scored the go-ahead run from second base on a wild pitch in the ninth as Texas swept a four-game set from host Toronto, which has lost six in a row.

Josh Jung doubled to right center with two outs in the ninth against Louis Varland (3-3). Kelenic ran for Jung and scampered home all the way from second on a wild pitch that catcher Alejandro Kirk had trouble locating when it skipped away.

Joc Pederson led off with a solo home run on the first pitch of the game, a fastball from Shane Bieber. It could have been worse, but Texas left the bases loaded in the inning after a single and two walks.

Astros 7, Tigers 5 (10 innings)

Christian Walker blasted a three-run homer to cap a four-run 10th as visiting Houston rallied for a win over Detroit, its third of the four-game series.

The Astros, who trailed 3-0 in the seventh, tied the game on Raynel Delgado's first career homer and Isaac Paredes' solo shot, which highlighted his three-hit day. Josh Hader (2-0) picked up the win after escaping a ninth-inning jam. Houston starter Hunter Brown gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits in six innings.

Zach McKinstry and Spencer Torkelson hit two-run homers for the Tigers. Returning from the injured list, starter Jack Flaherty struck out nine in five scoreless innings while allowing two hits and three walks.

Rays 5, Diamondbacks 1

Junior Caminero hit a home run for the fourth straight game as Tampa Bay defeated Arizona in St. Petersburg, Fla., to complete a weekend sweep.

Caminero's solo shot in the fifth inning was the longest of his career at 463 feet. He has now gone deep seven times in his last six games. Cedric Mullins and Ben Williamson also had homers for the Rays. Drew Rasmussen (7-4) navigated traffic through six scoreless innings to earn the win.

Ketel Marte provided the Diamondbacks' lone run with a solo homer, while Pavin Smith added a double, as they were outhit by Tampa Bay 10-5. Merrill Kelly (5-8) lost his fifth consecutive start for Arizona, dating back to June 5, allowing five runs on eight hits over six innings.

Guardians 6, Mariners 5

Rhys Hoskins' tiebreaking two-run double capped a five-run eighth inning as Cleveland rallied to defeat visiting Seattle.

Daniel Schneemann grounded a run-scoring single to center before Chase DeLauter, who was activated from the injured list (rib) earlier in the day, lined a two-run single to center to tie the score at 4-4. Hoskins hit a liner that landed on the left field foul line, with Steven Kwan and DeLauter scoring on the play.

Mitch Garver, Josh Naylor and Julio Rodriguez drove in a run as the Mariners tallied 13 hits in the loss. Seattle snapped a franchise record-tying streak of 13 consecutive games scoring three runs or fewer, set in 2015.

Royals 5, White Sox 4

Carter Jensen had three hits with two RBIs, and five Kansas City relievers held Chicago to one hit over five scoreless innings to earn a 5-4 road win.

Steven Cruz (2-2), Beck Way, Lucas Erceg, Matt Strahm and Alex Lange (seven saves) each pitched an inning and stymied the White Sox. Jensen extended his hitting streak to 19 games and delivered a tiebreaking double in the fourth for the Royals, who avoided being swept in this three-game set. Luinder Avila allowed all four Chicago runs in his four-inning start.

Miguel Vargas had a two-run homer, his 19th, for the White Sox, who lost for just the sixth time in their last 30 home games. Anthony Kay (6-3) allowed five runs (four earned) and seven hits over 3 2/3 innings.

Twins 3, Rockies 2

Ryan Kreidler hit a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the seventh inning, helping Minnesota come away with a win over Colorado in the series rubber match at Minneapolis.

Kody Clemens also homered for the Twins. Royce Lewis doubled and scored a run. Andrew Morris (4-2) struck out two batters in 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. He followed Connor Prielipp, who allowed two runs on six hits in six innings and finished with no walks and 10 strikeouts.

TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston each had two hits and an RBI for the Rockies. Seth Halvorsen (0-1) allowed one run on three hits in two-thirds of an inning. Ryan Feltner got the start and limited Minnesota to two runs (one earned) on five hits in six innings.

Giants 3, Braves 2

Robbie Ray allowed just one run over a season-high-tying eight innings, Luis Arraez scored one run and drove in another, and San Francisco completed a series win over visiting Atlanta.

Ray (7-6) won a pitchers' duel with the Braves' Chris Sale (8-6), who matched zeroes with his fellow left-hander until two Atlanta errors in the sixth inning helped produce the game's first two runs. Braves third baseman Austin Riley threw wildly on a Rafael Devers infield hit with two on, allowing one run to score, and Ozzie Albies's throw was offline on another infield single that allowed the other run to score.

Sale was pulled at inning's end, having allowed two runs (one earned) and eight hits. He walked one and struck out 10. The Giants tacked on what proved to be a critical third run in the seventh against the Atlanta bullpen when Drew Gilbert singled, Matt Chapman doubled and Arraez lifted a sacrifice fly to right field.

Angels 4, Athletics 1

Josh Lowe hit his first career grand slam to help Los Angeles beat the Athletics in the rubber game of their three-game series in Anaheim, Calif.

Angels starter Sam Aldegheri (3-3) had surrendered a combined 11 earned runs over 7 2/3 innings in his previous two starts, but the left-hander bounced back to limit the A's to one run and five hits over five innings.

A's right-hander Aaron Civale (5-5) also went five innings, allowing four runs and seven hits. Civale has lost four straight starts.

Dodgers 4, Padres 2

Mookie Betts' two-run single keyed a three-run fifth inning as Los Angeles edged host San Diego in the rubber game of the teams' weekend series.

Emmet Sheehan (4-5) pitched five solid innings to earn the win, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five. Four relievers finished up, with Edgardo Henriquez pitching the ninth to earn his first save.

Michael King (5-7) absorbed the loss, giving up four runs on three hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings while whiffing five. It was the first loss for King in four career decisions against Los Angeles. The right-hander pitched himself into difficulty he couldn't escape in the fifth, walking three batters and hitting another before Betts' big hit.

Cardinals 2, Marlins 1

Bryan Torres hit a two-run homer and Kyle Leahy earned his first victory in more than a month as host St. Louis edged Miami to avoid a three-game sweep.

Leahy (6-4) allowed one run on two hits over five innings for his first victory since May 16 as the Cardinals halted a four-game slide. JoJo Romero, Ryne Stanek and George Soriano combined for three scoreless innings before right-hander Riley O'Brien retired the Marlins in order in the ninth for his 20th save.

Miami had its four-game win streak snapped despite an impressive outing by Tyler Phillips (1-3), who gave up two runs on six hits with no walks over 7 1/3 innings. The Marlins were held to four hits and lost for just the sixth time in 24 games this month.
