MLB roundup: Mets walk off in 13 over Tigers
Tomas Nido homered leading off the bottom of the 13th inning Saturday night as the New York Mets finally outlasted the Detroit Tigers, 5-4.
The Mets are 5-1 on a seven-game homestand. The Tigers have dropped 10 of 11.
The Mets loaded the bases with one out and failed to score in the bottom of the 11th before the Tigers did the same thing in the top of the 12th. Nido, who was the last player on the Mets' bench when he entered in the 11th inning, capped a four hour and 11-minute duel when he hit his first walk-off homer off Buck Farmer (3-4).
Hector Santiago (1-0) tossed two innings for the Mets, who received two homers and four RBIs from catcher Wilson Ramos, who left for a pinch-runner in the 11th and was replaced by Nido. The two-homer game was the eighth of Ramos' career and his first since last June 25.
Carlos Correa capped a three-hit night with a walk-off single, as Houston answered Boston's ninth-inning rally with one of its own.
Correa singled to right field with the bases loaded off Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes (2-1), who allowed a leadoff double to Aledmys Diaz before issuing walks to Alex Bregman and Michael Brantley to load the bases.
The Red Sox had rallied against Astros closer Roberto Osuna (3-0) in a blur, loading the bases in the ninth inning on just three pitches, before Christian Vazquez roped a two-run single into left field on the second pitch he saw.
Angels 3, Rangers 2
After giving up two runs in the top of the ninth, Los Angeles rallied for two in the bottom of the inning to defeat Texas in Anaheim, Calif., and end a five-game losing streak.
Angels pinch hitter Jared Walsh looped a single into shallow left with two outs, scoring Kole Calhoun from second with the winning run and giving Walsh his first major league RBI.
Shawn Kelley (3-1) was aiming for his sixth save, but he gave up a one-out single to Luis Rengifo before Calhoun doubled to right-center, scoring Rengifo from first to tie the score at 2-2. Calhoun finished 3-for-3 with a walk, solo home run and the RBI double.
Padres 19, Blue Jays 4
Austin Hedges hit his first career grand slam, Hunter Renfroe and Wil Myers each homered twice and visiting San Diego set a franchise record with seven homers while defeating Toronto.
Ian Kinsler and Eric Hosmer also homered for the Padres. Hedges had five RBIs and Myers had four.
Right-hander Cal Quantrill (1-2) struck out nine in six innings to earn his first career win for San Diego.

Yankees 7, Royals 3 (Game 1)
Luke Voit's two-run home run in the seventh inning helped lead New York past host Kansas City in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
J.A. Happ (4-3) picked up the win after giving up three runs on four hits in six innings. Relying mostly on his fastball, Happ struck out 10 Royals.

They continued their dominance against the Royals in this century. Since 2000, the Yankees have won 16 season series, with three splits and just one Royals series win (2014). The Yankees are 100-43 in the 2000s against Kansas City.
Athletics 6, Mariners 5
Matt Chapman hit a home run, and Mike Fiers pitched six quality innings as Oakland defeated visiting Seattle for its eighth consecutive victory.
Domingo Santana hit two solo homers, and Mitch Haniger had one for Seattle, which lost its fifth in a row, eighth of nine and 20th of 25.
Chapman lined a solo shot over the wall in right-center field in the first inning against Mariners left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (3-2). Seattle twice tied the score after being down a run, but the Athletics never trailed.
Dodgers 7, Pirates 2
Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger each drove in two runs as visiting Los Angeles downed Pittsburgh, taking the first two games of the weekend series.

Bellinger was 2-for-4 with a walk and made a leaping catch at the wall in right to rob Jake Elmore of extra bases. Los Angeles starter Hyun-Jin Ryu (7-1) had his scoreless-innings streak end at 32, but he got the win allowing two runs in six innings. He also doubled in the go-ahead run in the fourth.
Cubs 8, Reds 6
Jason Heyward, Addison Russell and Albert Almora Jr. each hit home runs, and Chicago outlasted visiting Cincinnati.
Anthony Rizzo also drove in a pair of runs for Chicago, which evened the series at one game apiece heading into Sunday's finale. The Cubs improved to 18-9 at Wrigley Field. Tucker Barnhart, Derek Dietrich and Yasiel Puig each homered for Cincinnati.
The score was tied at 6 in the eighth when David Bote delivered a go-ahead double to deep center field with Almora at second base and Russell at first. Almora scored, and Kyle Schwarber followed with a sacrifice fly to send Russell home and increase the advantage to 8-6 entering the ninth.
Diamondbacks 10, Giants 4
Arizona put up double-figure runs for a second consecutive game, pummeling host San Francisco.

Cardinals 6, Braves 3
Pinch hitter Jedd Gyorko hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to spark St. Louis to a win over visiting Atlanta.

The Cardinals tied the game earlier in the inning when Matt Carpenter beat the shift with an RBI single to left field that scored Paul DeJong. Carpenter was 3-for-4 with two RBIs.
Rays 6, Indians 2
Charlie Morton struck out a season-high 10 batters and Ji-Man Choi and Tommy Pham each belted a two-run homer as visiting Tampa Bay beat Cleveland. Brandon Lowe added his team-leading 11th homer to go along with an RBI double for the Rays, who handed the Indians their fifth loss in six games.
Carlos Santana belted a solo homer and Leonys Martin had an RBI single for the Indians, who saw manager Terry Francona ejected for the first time since 2016 after arguing a called strike on a pitch that hit Jose Ramirez in the sixth inning.
Morton (5-0) allowed one run on three hits in six innings to improve to 8-0 during an 18-start unbeaten streak that dates back to Aug. 17.
