Diamondbacks 3, Mets 2, 12 Inn.: Oscar Hernandez hit his first major league homer in the 12th inning to lift Arizona past NY. He is 3-0 with a 0.67 ERA over his last four starts.

By the end of the sixth inning, Barry Bonds had had enough.

Phelps, who teamed with Samardzija in 2006 to lead Notre Dame to a Big East championship, fell to 5-6 despite yielding just the one run in five innings. Ray was flawless until Ty Kelly’s fourth-inning single. Stennett s claim to fame over a decade-long career with the Pirates and Giants was the September 16, 1975, game in which he went 7 for 7 during Pittsburgh s 22-0 rout over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Freddy Galvis hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning, Ryan Howard added a three-run, pinch double in the ninth and Philadelphia beat Los Angeles. Unfortunately the Marlin’s catcher struck out on three pitches, stranding Ichiro after he reached on his 3,002nd hit in the Majors.

San Francisco Giants’ Brandon Crawford (35) is congratulated by Joe Panik after Crawford hit a home run during the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Miami Marlins, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016, in Miami.

Two days after Brandon Crawford battered the Marlins with an NL record-tying seven hits, he beat them with one swing.

“We’re too good of a ballclub for this to continue”, Bochy said. Santiago Casilla pitched around a two-out double in the ninth by Ichiro Suzuki, striking out J.T. Realmuto to earn his 26th save. Mattingly pinch hitting Chris Johnson for Derek Dietrich was the move that sparked this, as Samardzija’s pitch count was only at 82, a mark he has eclipsed in all but one start this season (64 pitches on 6/22, 6 ER over 3 IP in PIT). Despite his notoriously prickly reputation from back in the day, I don’t recall him being ejected very much during his career. I said, ‘I m sure I won t, either.

Marlins: RHP David Phelps (5-5, 2.45) will start his second consecutive game after moving into the rotation from the set-up role.

Samardzija looks to rebound versus Miami, against which he improved to 4-1 in his career after permitting one run in 7 2/3 innings of an 8-1 victory on April 22.

The Mariners remained seven games behind AL West leader Texas, which again rallied late to overrun Colorado.
