Red Sox use 5 unearned runs to beat skidding Orioles 5-1

Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell and his relievers combined to strand 11 NY runners in a 2-0 win against the Yankees. No player in major league history has hit that may home runs in as few games, and it’s scary to think what he will do next year with a full season to play with, rather than just the 45 games he’s been in since his minor league call-up. Brian McCann provided four of the Yankees’ 17 hits.

The Red Sox’s bullpen preserved the win, as they retired 14 of the final 15 Orioles batters.

Price’s only mistake came in the third inning.

The win stopped a three-game losing streak for the Mets and ensured they’d remain at least tied for the top National League wild card.

The Colorado Rockies thrashed the St Louis Cardinals 11-1 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 9-3.

Michael Conforto walked with one out, Reyes singled and Cabrera homered over right field, setting off a wild celebration.

NY trailed 6-4 when Brandon Nimmo singled leading off the ninth and Reyes homered with one out to tie the game.

Price allowed three runs – all on the Mancini homer – and scattered six hits. Adam Glaser scored two first half goals to lead the Panthers to the win. The Red Sox are now 5.5 games above Toronto and the magic number to clinch the East is 5.

A catching error and a three-run homer provided the difference in the game, alongside great pitching from Red Sox ace Clay Buchholz.

Kris Bryant crushed his 38th homer of the season and Dexter Fowler hit a solo shot in the Cubs’ 9-2 drubbing of the Reds. The Red Sox added two runs in the second inning. Ramirez then drove in Betts with a single to center as the Red Sox forced Tillman to throw 35 pitches in the inning. Andre McCutchen and Sean Rodriguez homered for the Pirates, who are suddenly 3 1/2 games behind the Cards and Mets for the second NL wild-card position.

The 40-year-old has become a sporting deity in Boston, famously being a part of the 2004 squad that won the World Series – the first for the Red Sox since 1918.

Kemp, acquired from the San Diego Padres on July 30, leads the Braves with 33 homers and 104 RBIs.
