Trending
MIAMI (AP) -- Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill homered in the eighth inning and the San Diego Padres overcame an early three-run deficit to beat Miami 5-3 on Sunday, extending the Marlins鈥� losing streak to a franchise-record 12.
Machado also doubled in a run, while Luis Rengifo doubled and singled and Ty France had two singles for the Padres.
The Marlins previously lost 11 straight in June 2011 and on two separate stretches in 1998. Miami has not won since an 8-4 victory over Seattle on June 9.
Down 3-1, the Padres scored four times against reliever Lake Bachar (1-2) in the eighth. Machado hit a tying two-run drive before Merrill鈥檚 solo shot put San Diego ahead. Rengifo doubled and scored on Luis Campusano鈥檚 single.
Wandy Peralta (2-2) got the three outs in the seventh and Adrian Morejon followed with a scoreless eighth before Mason Miller closed for his 27th save.
BREWERS 11, ROCKIES 2
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Jacob Misiorowski struck out 12 of the first 13 batters he faced -- including each of the first seven -- and allowed only one hit over five innings and the Milwaukee Brewers trounced the Colorado Rockies 11-2 on Sunday.
Misiorowski (11-4) set a Brewers franchise record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game. Sixty-six of his 83 pitches exceeded 100 mph, as Misiorowski broke his own major league record for most 100-mph pitches in a game since pitch tracking began in 2008.
Colorado didn鈥檛 get a runner on base against Misiorowski until Cole Carrigg hit a two-out, opposite-field homer in the fifth on a 101.9-mph fastball. It was the fastest pitch that has ever resulted in a Rockies homer during the pitch tracking era.
Misiorowski increased his MLB-leading strikeout total to 185. He allowed one run over five innings as his ERA rose slightly to an MLB-best 1.58.
Andrew Vaughn homered for the NL Central-leading Brewers.
Milwaukee鈥檚 nine doubles matched a franchise single-game record. The Brewers had a season-high 11 extra-base hits.
NATIONALS 10, D-BACKS 7
WASHINGTON (AP) -- CJ Abrams and James Wood both homered twice and drove in three runs as the Washington Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-7 on Sunday to take two of three games in their weekend series.
Dylan Crews and Abrams each had three of Washington鈥檚 15 hits. The surprising Nationals (54-52) moved within a game of Arizona for the final National League playoff spot in a crowded wild-card race.
The 25-year-old Abrams leads the majors with 82 RBIs. He has 27 home runs this season, breaking the franchise record for shortstops set by Ian Desmond with 25 in 2012.
Wood leads the team with 30 homers, including a two-run shot that tied the score at 4 in the fifth inning. Three batters later, Abrams connected for a two-run drive off Jonathan Lo谩isiga (2-3) that put Washington ahead for good.
Riley Cornelio (2-1) gave up one run in two innings for the win. Clayton Beeter got three outs for his 10th save.
RED SOX 6, BLUE JAYS 1
BOSTON (AP) -- Jarren Duran drove in two runs with one of his three singles, Jahmai Jones had a pinch-hit two-run double and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 Sunday.
Ceddanne Rafaela added an RBI single for the Red Sox, who closed a 10-game homestand 8-2, including a victory on Wednesday that matched a club-record 15-game winning streak from 1946 before it was stopped in the nightcap of a split doubleheader.
The fading Blue Jays couldn鈥檛 build on Dylan Cease鈥檚 dominating one-hit complete game from Saturday and have lost seven of 10 since the All-Star break.
Coming off the injured list after missing three weeks with a strained left groin, Ranger Su谩rez went four scoreless innings, striking out six and allowing four hits.
Greg Weissert (3-2) worked a scoreless inning and was credited with the win.
ROYALS 5, TIGERS 4
DETROIT (AP) -- Michael Massey hit a go-ahead, two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals held on to beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Sunday.
The Royals led 3-0 through four innings, fell behind after giving up four runs in the fifth before going back ahead on Massey鈥檚 blast to right.
Nate Pearson (2-0) threw a scoreless inning. Steven Cruz pitched the ninth for his second save after giving up a walk and hit to the first two batters, closing the game by striking out Riley Greene.
WHITE SOX 12, ASTROS 3
CHICAGO (AP) -- Munetaka Murakami homered twice and drove in a season-high six runs; Miguel Vargas, Chase Meidroth and Junior Perez also went deep as the Chicago White Sox beat the Houston Astros 12-3 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.
With his parents in attendance and on his bobblehead giveaway day, Murakami hit a 385-foot, two-run homer in the bottom of the first that gave Chicago its first lead of the game. It was his first homer since May 27th. He added a go-ahead, RBI groundout in the third inning and a two-run single in the seventh. He closed out his three-hit game with his 22nd homer of the season.
Sean Newcomb (1-2) picked up his first win of the season after allowing one hit in two-thirds of an inning. Erick Fedde worked 4 1/3 innings in the start and surrendered three runs on five hits while striking out two.
BRAVES 3, ORIOLES 2
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Matt Olson caught Gunnar Henderson鈥檚 line drive and stepped on first for an improbable double play in the bottom of the 10th, and Austin Riley鈥檚 RBI double an inning later lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
Every game in this series was decided by a run, with the Braves winning Friday and Sunday in extra innings and the Orioles managing a walk-off victory Saturday. The finale went to extra innings thanks largely to an error by Atlanta second baseman Ozzie Albies, but Baltimore loaded the bases in the 10th with the score 2-all and couldn鈥檛 win it.
Henderson has had a nightmare of a 2026 season, playing poorly while also having bad luck at times. He hammered a line drive right at first base, where Olson could catch it and step on the bag almost in one motion as runner Pete Alonso frantically tried to dive back.
Replays showed the play was extremely close, but the double play stood. Then Taylor Ward -- who left the winning run at third in the ninth inning in Friday鈥檚 loss -- popped out.
