BALTIMORE (AP) — Randy Arozarena hit a two-run homer to lead off the 10th inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Tuesday night.
Mitch Garver also homered for the AL West-leading Mariners, who have won 11 of their last 14 games and at 36-32 are tied for a season-high four games over .500.
Coby Mayo homered during a two-run ninth-inning as Baltimore rallied to tie the game at 4-4. The Orioles have lost four in a row for the first time since a five-game skid from April 30 to May 4.
Arozarena hit Rico Garcia’s 0-1 slider over the wall in right for his seventh home run of the season to bring around automatic runner Julio Rodríguez. Garcia (3-1) had allowed only three runs in 27 innings this season.
Seattle’s Nick Davila, called up from Triple-A Tacoma, hit Blaze Alexander and yielded Leody Taveras’ RBI single to open the 10th. Mayo popped out, and third baseman Patrick Wisdom threw out Alexander at home. Davila then struck out O’Neill for his first career save.
DODGERS 12, PIRATES 3
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andy Pages hit a two-run homer and added a sacrifice fly during a seventh-inning outburst against Pittsburgh’s bullpen as the Dodgers quickly pulled away once Pirates ace Paul Skenes exited in a win.
Skenes, the reigning NL Cy Young winner, allowed two runs and struck out seven in six innings. He retired Los Angeles star Shohei Ohtani all three times he faced the four-time MVP, getting Ohtani to ground out twice and fanning him once in his best start in nearly a month.
When Skenes left, the Dodgers pounced.
Dalton Rushing led off the seventh with a single off Wilber Dotel (1-0), advanced to third on a single through the hole by Alan Freeland and scored the go-ahead run when Pirates catcher Henry Davis’ attempt to pick Rushing off third hit the Dodger catcher instead and rolled away.
Things only got better for Los Angeles. Ohtani followed with an RBI-double and Pages hit his fourth home run in 12 career games against the Pirates to make it 6-2. A throwing error by Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe, a couple of bases-loaded walks, and Freddie Freeman’s 2,500th career hit — a sharp RBI-single to center — highlighted the rest of Los Angeles’ biggest inning since an 11-run outburst against St. Louis on June 2, 2021.
Will Klein (2-2) picked up the win in relief of starter Eric Laurer, who allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa was 2 for 3 with two runs and Marcelo Mayer drove in two runs with an eighth-inning double that pulled Boston within 4-3.
The Red Sox threatened to tie the game in the eighth but Kelly entered and forced three straight groundouts to escape the inning.

MIAMI (AP) — Otto Lopez hit a tiebreaking RBI single to start off Miami’s four-run eighth inning and Joe Mack went 4 for 4 and scored three runs as the Marlins beat Arizona for their sixth win in seven games.
Lopez’s run-scoring single started a four-hit sequence in the eighth. Javier Sanoja drove in two more runs with a single and Esteury Ruiz followed with a one-run single as the Marlins broke open a 6-all tie.
Mack, at 22 years, 164 days, became the youngest catcher in Marlins history to record four hits in a game. He also became the 13th MLB catcher with 10 runners caught stealing this season — doing so in just 28 games.
Miami jumped out to an early 3-1 lead behind a Xavier Edwards RBI single in the first, a Connor Norby one-run double in the second and a sacrifice fly from Edwards in the third. Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers added two-run doubles in the sixth for a 6-2 lead.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered leading off the eighth inning and New York defeated Cleveland.
Spencer Jones also went deep with his first major league home run for the Yankees, who have won three straight and are 10-4 since May 24.
Cleveland’s Angel Martínez had two hits and an RBI. The Guardians have dropped three straight and five of six. They are also 2-6 in their last eight home games.
Chisholm once again used one of Aaron Judge’s bats and drove a full-count slider from reliever Tim Herrin (0-2) into the right-field stands to put the Yankees on top. It was his third homer in his last six games.
Chisholm led off the second with a walk before Jones, the 25th overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft, connected on starter Slade Cecconi’s cutter down the middle of the plate and drove it 443 feet over the center-field wall.
The Yankees’ bullpen pitched five scoreless innings. Camilo Doval (2-0) got the win. Fernando Cruz walked the leadoff hitter in the ninth before striking out the next three for his first save.
BLUE JAYS 3, PHILLIES 2

Daulton Varsho replaced Piñango and stole second before Straw scored the tying run on a wild pitch, with Varsho advancing to third. Valenzuela lined the next pitch into left field to score Varsho.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jac Caglianone went 3 for 3 with two home runs and three RBIs as Kansas City erased an early deficit to defeat Texas.

In the sixth, Caglianone drove reliever Jalen Beeks’ first-pitch changeup 431 feet to right-center for a two-run shot that gave the Royals a 5-2 lead.

The Royals got five extra-base hits in a four-run sixth.
Steven Cruz (1-2) retired all four batters he faced, striking out two to earn the win. Alex Lange fanned two in in a hitless ninth for his fourth save this season, all in the last six Royals games.
