Baseball-Highlights of Saturday's MLB games

(Adds late games) June 13 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Saturday's Major League Baseball games: - - - Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 4 (11 innings) Toronto blew a four-run lead but pulled out their 10th straight victory when Russell Martin hit a leadoff home run in the 11th inning to give his team a 5-4 victory over Boston on Saturday at Fenway Park. Martin hit a 2-0 pitch from right-hander Matt Barnes (2-2) for his 10th home run of the season as the Jays won 10 in a row for the first time since an 11-game streak two years ago. Martin's home run made a winner of left-hander Aaron Loup (2-3), with left-hander Brett Cecil pitching the bottom of the 11th for his fourth save. - - - Mariners 8, Astros 1 Left-hander Mike Montgomery delivered another quality start for an injury-ravaged rotation as Seattle used a five-run first inning to end a seven-game losing streak with an 8-1 win over Houston. Montgomery (1-1) gave up one run, six hits and three walks in six innings, his third consecutive start of at least six innings with two or fewer earned runs. - - - Rays 5, White Sox 4 Tampa Bay got two runs on three singles and a key reversal with two out in the bottom of the eighth to beat Chicago 5-4. Jake Elmore hit an infield single deep to shortstop, and Alexei Ramirez's flip to second missed wide, allowing Steven Souza to score the go-ahead run. - - - Angels 1, Athletics 0 Designated hitter Albert Pujols hit his 10th home run in 15 games and left-hander C.J. Wilson allowed just two hits to lead Los Angeles to a 1-0 win over Oakland. Wilson (4-5) matched his season-high with eight strikeouts in his seven innings, induced eight groundouts and did not concede a run for the first time since April 7. The two hits allowed tied the left-hander's season low and he gave up three walks. - - - Marlins 4, Rockies 1 Giancarlo Stanton drove in all four runs and Mat Latos tied a season high with 11 strikeouts, leading Miami past Colorado 4-1. Stanton leads MLB with 23 homers and 59 RBIs. In the bottom of the first inning, he hit a towering two-run double to left field that bounced high off the wall and eluded left fielder Corey Dickerson. - - - Nationals 7, Brewers 2 Bryce Harper drove in two runs and had three hits, Yunel Escobar and Wilson Ramos homered and Joe Ross secured his first Major-League victory as Washington defeated Milwaukee 7-2. Harper's two-out walk in the fourth inning allowed Washington to break the game open against Brewers right-hander Jimmy Nelson, who followed the walk by giving up a two-run homer to Ramos that made it 5-2. - - - Pirates 4, Phillies 3 Right-hander Gerrit Cole gave up two runs in six innings to get his major-league-best 10th victory as Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia 4-3. Cole (10-2) yielded two runs (one earned) on five hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked none. - - - Padres 2, Dodgers 1 Justin Upton snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-out homer in the eighth inning that lifted San Diego over Los Angeles and ace Zack Greinke. Upton's 13th home run of the season carried 406 feet to the entrance to the Padres bullpen. It halted the Dodgers' four-game winning streak and gave the Padres only their fourth win in 11 games against the Dodgers this season. - - - Cubs 4, Reds 3 Starlin Castro singled home Kris Bryant in the bottom of the ninth inning to send Chicago past Cincinnati 4-3. Castro lined a 1-0 pitch to center for the winner to end a long night that included a two-hour, 48-minute rain delay. - - - Diamondbacks 4, Giants 2 Right-hander Allen Webster allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2/3 innings in his Arizona debut as the Diamondbacks improved to 5-1 at AT&T Park this season with a 5-2 win over San Francisco. Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong lasted just 3 2/3 innings, his second shortest start of the season, and lost his third straight game. He allowed four runs and six hits, walked five and struck out just one. - - - Orioles 9, Yankees 4 Nolam Reimold and Manny Machado each hit two-run homers and Machado tied a career high with four RBIs as Baltimore extended its winning streak to six, beating New York 9-4. Matt Wieters and Ryan Flaherty each had two hits and scored twice for the Orioles, who have won eight of their last nine and made it over .500 for the first time since May 4. - - - Cardinals 3, Royals 2 Tyler Lyons earned his first victory in more than two years by allowing only three hits over five innings as St. Louis defeated Kansas City. It was Lyons' first win since May 28, 2013, when he beat Kansas City 4-1 in his second career start. Since that game, Lyons had gone 0-8 in 13 starts across three seasons. - - - Braves 5, Mets 3 (11 innings) Center fielder Cameron Maybin's two-run single in the top of the 11th inning capped a comeback by Atlanta, who won for just the fifth time in 12 games this month. New York had a two-game winning streak snapped in the 5-3 loss. - - - Indians 5, Tigers 4 Yan Gomes hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly with one out in the sixth inning and added an RBI double in the eighth as Cleveland spoiled the season debut of Tigers' right-hander Justin Verlander with a 5-4 win. Right-hander Cody Allen got the last four outs for his 14th save. - - - Rangers 11, Twins 7 Texas first baseman Mitch Moreland and third baseman Joey Gallo hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning to spark the Rangers to an 11-7 victory over Minnesota. The win moved the Rangers four games above .500 for the third time this season and 1 1/2 games behind Houston in the American League West. They have yet to reach five games above .500.
