BOSTON (AP) — Carlos Narváez hit a walk-off RBI single off the wall in the 10th inning after Aaron Judge hit a tying solo home run in the ninth and the Boston Red Sox rallied to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Friday night.

Ceddanne Rafaela added an RBI.

Boston has now won its last three against its longtime rivals. The loss snaps a three-game overall win streak for New York, which came in off a sweep of Kansas City last week.

Jarren Duran grounded out to open the 10th, moving automatic runner David Hamilton to third. Reliever Tim Hill (3-2) then walked Rafael Devers. After a strikeout, Narváez came to the plate.

Garrett Whitlock (5-0) pitched a scoreless 10th to salvage a master performance by Boston starter Garrett Crochet, who pitched a career-high 8 1/3 innings, yielding four hits and striking out seven.

Crochet gave up just three of those hits over eight innings, striking out Judge each of the first three times he faced him.

His luck ran out the fourth time when Judge unloaded on Crochet’s seventh pitch of the at-bat — a 99.6 mph fastball — belting it 443 feet over the Green Monster.

Crochet was replaced by Aroldis Chapman, who got the final two outs of the inning.

Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough gave up four hits over 4 2/3 innings, walked three and struck out three.

PIRATES 2, CUBS 1, 10 INNINGS

CHICAGO (AP) — Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to help Pittsburgh beat Chicago.

The Pirates loaded the bases in the 10th on Ke’Bryan Hayes’ infield single and a walk to Henry Davis. Kiner-Falefa then drove in Adam Frazier with a flyball to left off Drew Pomeranz (2-1).

Kiner-Falefa also threw out Ian Happ when he attempted to score from first on Kyle Tucker’s two-out double in the fifth inning.

Dennis Santana (2-1) got five outs for the win, and David Bednar worked a perfect 10th for his 10th save.

Pirates ace Paul Skenes struck out five in five scoreless innings. He allowed four hits and walked two while throwing 95 pitches, 60 for strikes.

Skenes was matched by Cade Horton, who permitted three hits in 5 2/3 shutout innings for the NL Central leaders.

Each team scored in the eighth.

The Pirates jumped in front when Davis scored on Oneil Cruz’s chopper near the mound. Reliever Brad Keller made an errant throw to the plate.

PHILLIES 8, BLUE JAYS 0

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer, Ranger Suárez struck out six in seven shutout innings and Philadelphia beat Toronto.

Suárez (5-1) continued to shine since his return from an early season back injury. He allowed seven runs in his first start of the season and has allowed only seven total in his next seven starts.

The Phillies have won three of their last four games, and remain in the thick of the NL East hunt, even with key pieces Bryce Harper and Aaron Nola nursing injuries.

Suárez received a standing ovation from Phillies fans when he walked off the mound in the seventh after throwing his 94th pitch.

He got all the help he needed when the Phillies scored four runs off Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman (5-5) in the second inning. Brandon Marsh socked an RBI double off the wall for a 1-0 lead and Schwarber connected on his 22nd homer of the season, a 410-foot shot to dead center that landed just beyond the outstretched glove of Myles Straw.

BRAVES 12, ROCKIES 4

ATLANTA (AP) — Marcel Ozuna hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to give Atlanta the lead and the Braves stormed back from a three-run deficit to beat Colorado.

Ozuna’s homer to left field off Victor Vodnik (1-2) drove in Alex Verdugo and Matt Olson.

Ryan McMahon had three hits for Colorado, including a two-run homer in the first. A three-run homer by Michael Harris II in the sixth off Jake Bird tied it at 4.

Ronald Acuña Jr. doubled on the first pitch from Germán Márquez and scored on Olson’s sacrifice fly. Acuña added singles in the third and fifth innings and stole second base in the fifth on his first attempt since returning on May 23 after missing almost a full season following surgery on his left knee.

A leaping catch by left fielder Jordan Beck in the seventh robbed Acuña of another hit.

Olson drove in three runs on three hits.

TIGERS 11, REDS 5

DETROIT (AP) — Gleyber Torres homered twice and Riley Greene drove in four runs to help Detroit beat Cincinnati.

Greene had a solo homer in the third and a three-run double in the sixth as the Tigers improved to 19-4 in series openers. TJ Friedl and Elly De La Cruz homered for the Reds.

Torres homered on the first pitch from Nick Martinez (4-7). It was Torres’ fourth career leadoff homer, with the first three coming for the Yankees.

TJ Friedl tied it with a third-inning homer off Keider Montero (3-1), but Greene homered over the Cincinnati bullpen to make it 2-1 in the bottom of the inning.

Javier Báez homered in the fourth to give the Tigers a 3-1 lead, but Elly De La Cruz hit his 14th homer in the fifth — the fifth solo homer of the game.

Detroit finally created some distance with a four-run sixth. Martinez walked Báez to start the inning and was replaced by Scott Barlow, who allowed a single and a walk to load the bases. Torres ended Barlow’s outing with a sacrifice fly, but Taylor Rogers didn’t fare any better.

RAYS 7, METS 5

NEW YORK (AP) — Danny Jansen hit a two-run homer to cap Tampa Bay’s six-run sixth inning and the Rays came back to beat New York and snap its six-game winning streak.

Mets starter Clay Holmes exited after five innings with a 5-1 lead, but Paul Blackburn was charged with four runs while giving up hits to four of the five batters he faced.

Jake Mangum chased Blackburn with a two-run single and José Caballaro followed with a run-scoring groundout against Max Kranick (3-2) before Jansen hit a 389-foot homer to left on a 2-2 pitch.

The Mets stranded seven runners over the final four innings. New York lost at Citi Field for the first time since May 28 and dropped to 27-8 at home.

Eric Orze (1-0), who pitched briefly for the Mets last season, earned his first big league win by getting three outs after Rays starter Taj Bradley exited without recording an out in the fifth. Bradley gave up five runs — all unearned.

Mason Montgomery, Garrett Cleavinger, Edwin Uceta and Pete Fairbanks — who earned his 13th save — combined for four scoreless innings for the Rays, who won despite committing a season-high three errors and issuing seven walks.

RANGERS 3, WHITE SOX 1

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Smith homered and scored all three Texas runs in his fifth consecutive two-hit game to help the Rangers beat Chicago.

The leadoff hitter had a single in the first and scored on Corey Seager’s sacrifice fly. Smith’s seventh homer was a 396-foot drive to right-center in the third, then he walked ahead of Marcus Semien’s RBI double that made it 3-0 in the fifth.

Smith was 2 for 3 with a walk and is hitting .435 (10 for 23) during a career-best streak of five multihit games.

Jacob Webb (4-3), the second of seven pitchers in a bullpen game for the Rangers, worked two innings for the victory as they won for the fifth time in six games. Robert Garcia loaded the bases in the ninth before closing out his fifth save in seven chances.

White Sox starter Adrian Houser (2-2) allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. He struck out two and walked four.

ASTROS 10, TWINS 3

HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve and rookie Jacob Melton drove in three runs each as Houston jumped on Chris Paddack early and cruised to a win over Minnesota.

Paddack (2-6) tied career highs by allowing 12 hits and nine runs — eight earned — in just four innings for his third straight loss.

Houston rookie starter Colton Gordon (2-1) gave up six hits and two runs with five strikeouts in a career-high six innings.

Jeremy Peña tied a season-high with four hits and rookie Cam Smith had two hits and two RBIs as the AL West-leading Astros won their third straight.

Willi Castro, Royce Lewis and Ty France all hit solo homers for the Twins, who were blown out for the third time in four games after losing to Texas 16-4 Tuesday and 16-3 Thursday.

BREWERS 3, CARDINALS 2

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Freddy Peralta struck out six over six innings of one-run ball and Milwaukee scraped out just enough against Erick Fedde for a victory over St. Louis.

After retiring the Cardinals in order through the first three innings, Peralta (6-4) gave up four hits and a walk.

St. Louis has lost six straight to fall 1 1/2 games back of second-place Milwaukee and six games behind first-place Chicago in the NL Central.

The Cardinals scored a run in the fifth when Alec Burleson and Nolan Arenado opened the inning with back-to-back doubles, and cut it to one run in the ninth on Victor Scott’s RBI single off Trevor Megill.

Fedde (3-6) also faced the minimum through three. Milwaukee’s first hit came in the fourth when Sal Frelick led off with a single that hit Fedde on the left wrist.

ATHLETICS 6, ROYALS 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Austin Wynns and Luis Urías hit home runs, Luis Severino pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, and the Athletics beat Kansas City 6-4 on Friday night to end a 14-game road losing streak and hand the Royals their fourth straight loss.

Severino (2-6) allowed six hits and a first-inning run on an RBI double by Salvador Perez. He surrendered 17 hits and 13 earned runs in his two previous starts covering 11 1/3 innings.

Wynns hit his fourth home run — a solo shot with two outs in the second off Royals starter Michael Wacha (3-6) — to tie it 1-1. Urías hit Wacha’s second pitch in the fourth out to left for his seventh homer and a 3-1 lead. Nick Kurtz drove in the second run for the A’s with a two-out single in the third.

The Athletics pulled away after Wacha left with two on and one out in the sixth.

Jacob Wilson greeted reliever Steven Cruz with a single to load the bases. Cruz fanned Brent Rooker on three pitches but walked Tyler Soderstrom to force in a run. Max Muncy followed with a two-run single for a 6-1 advantage. Cruz fanned Kurtz with his 22nd pitch to end the inning. Wilson went 2 for 5 and scored twice.

ORIOLES 2, ANGELS 0

BALTIMORE (AP) — Charlie Morton struck out a season-high 10 in five innings, Ryan O’Hearn and Ramón Laureano hit home runs and Baltimore beat Los Angeles in a game that was delayed by rain before the start and again in the fifth inning.

Morton (3-7) surrendered two straight singles to begin the fourth, but he struck out LaMonte Wade Jr. on three pitches before two ground balls got him out of the jam. Morton fanned Zach Neto leading off the fifth. He left after rain forced the second delay.

Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz (3-8) used three groundball outs to retire the side in order in the first, but O’Hearn hit his 10th home run on Kochanowicz’s first pitch in the second for a 1-0 lead. Laureano led off the fifth with his eighth homer for the final run. The second delay followed after a one-out single by Ramón Urías.

Yennier Cano, Gregory Soto and Bryan Baker each pitched a scoreless inning for Baltimore before Félix Bautista had the final two of 14 strikeouts by the Orioles in notching his 12th save in 13 chances.

DIAMONDBACKS 5, PADRES 1

PHOENIX (AP) — Corbin Carroll and Josh Naylor homered and Arizona beat San Diego to extend its winning streak to four games.

With the win, the Diamondbacks improved to 35-34 and moved past .500 for the first time since May 23, when they were 26-25.

Ryne Nelson (3-2) worked five innings and earned the win. He gave up some hard-hit balls, but allowed only one unearned run. He walked one and struck out three.

Naylor’s ninth homer came on the first pitch from Stephen Kolek in the second inning. The Diamondbacks added another run in the third on Geraldo Perdomo’s RBI single. They scored three runs in the fifth when Carroll led off with his 20th homer, an opposite-field drive to left-center, Naylor’s sacrifice fly and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s RBI single that knocked out Kolek (3-2).

GIANTS 6, DODGERS 2

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Logan Webb tossed seven innings of two-hit ball, Casey Schmitt hit his first career grand slam off Yoshinobu Yamamoto and San Francisco defeated Los Angeles in the series opener between the NL West’s top two teams.

Webb (6-5) allowed two runs, struck out four and walked three for his first win since May 16 against the Athletics. He twice struck out Shohei Ohtani, who was hitless in four at-bats.

Schmitt’s grand slam traveled 423 feet to left-center with two outs in the third, snapping a 1-1 tie. Yamamoto sandwiched walks to Jung Hoo Lee and Heliot Ramos around two strikeouts before walking Wilmer Flores to load the bases and set up Schmitt.

Yamamoto (6-5) gave up five runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked a season-high five.

Willy Adames homered for the Giants in the first.

In the second, Webb walked Freddie Freeman and Will Smith back-to-back to open the inning before Max Muncy’s fielder’s choice grounder to first and Andy Pages’ sacrifice fly scored Smith.

The Dodgers added another run on Teoscar Hernández’s homer off Webb in the seventh.

MARLINS 11, NATIONALS 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rookie Agustín Ramírez hit two home runs and Eric Wagaman had three RBIs to help Miami hand Washington its sixth straight loss, in a game that included a rain delay of more than two hours.

Ramírez hit a solo shot off Nationals starter Mitchell Parker (4-7) in the first for a 1-0 lead and then hit his 10th of the season leading off a four-run third as Miami took a 6-0 lead.

It was Ramírez’s second multihomer game after hitting two solo shots in a 7-6 loss to Seattle on April 27. Wagaman had an RBI double and Dane Myers added a two-run double as Miami built the six-run advantage.

CJ Abrams reached on an infield hit and James Wood followed with his 17th homer to get the Nationals within 6-2 after three.

Fortes and Xavier Edwards had RBI singles in the fifth following a delay of 2 hours, 14 minutes for an 8-2 lead.

Wood hit a two-run double and Nathaniel Lowe, Alex Call and Keibert Ruiz followed with RBI singles as Washington scored five times in the seventh to pull within 8-7.

Miami answered with Wagaman’s two-run single and Connor Norby’s RBI groundout in the eighth.

Edwin Cabrera allowed two runs in a three-inning start for Miami. Tyler Phillips (1-0) got two outs for the win.

Parker allowed six runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.

MARINERS 7, GUARDIANS 2

SEATTLE (AP) — Dominic Canzone hit a two-run single in the seventh inning and Seattle beat Cleveland to move back to .500.

Canzone, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on June 9, smacked a base hit through the right side of the infield off left-hander Tim Herrin (4-2) to score two during a four-run inning for the Mariners. Randy Arozarena broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI single, and rookie Cole Young brought home another run two batters after Canzone’s hit with a double to left field.

Seattle starter Luis Castillo gave up two runs and three hits in six innings — with both Cleveland runs coming on consecutive solo home runs by Nolan Jones and Steven Kwan in the third inning.

Rowdy Tellez had a solo homer in the fourth inning to get the Mariners on the scoreboard, and Jorge Polanco added one in the eighth to cap the scoring.

Carlos Vargas (2-5) pitched a scoreless seventh to pick up the win, and Matt Brash gave up one hit in the eighth, and Eduard Bazardo finished up as the Mariners got their fifth win in 18 games.
