Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Wade Miley (20) throws against the Chicago Cubs during the first inning of an interleague baseball game, Saturday, July 30, 2016, in Chicago.
Matusz struggled out of the bullpen for Baltimore before being released, allowing at least one run in four of his seven outings.
Kluber (10-8) gave up five hits, with seven strikeouts and two walks. The Red Sox may activate RHP Craig Kimbrel, who underwent surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee three weeks ago, on Monday.2.
Marlins 5, Cardinals 4: Pinch-hitter Derek Dietrich hit an RBI triple with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning as Miami took a 1-game lead in the NL wild-card race. Karns, 28, is 6-2 with a 5.15 ERA in 22 games (15 starts) this season. Two runs scored, no big deal. But with none on in the ninth, he fouled off several pitches before hitting a single on a 3-2 pitch from Matt Bowman.
Center fielder Tommy Pham’s try at a diving backhanded catch on Dietrich’s liner to left-center failed, allowing Hechavarria to score. He celebrated with his teammates, who ripped off his jersey in a wild scene on the field. This means the Orioles will be on the hook for one more season overall of Miley, which is risky considering his ability in recent years.
The arrival of the Red Sox in Seattle means the last visit of David Ortiz, and Mariners fans won’t be too sad to say goodbye. The Mariners shortened their infield for Javier Baez, who hit a grounder to short. “I thought it was a home run the moment it was hit”.
Phillies 9, Braves 5: Jeremy Hellickson pitched into the sixth inning and drove in the go-ahead run with a two-run double to help Philadelphia beat Atlanta.
Sardinas executed the sacrifice, which moved the runners to second and third with one out – i.e., the same opportunity the Cubs had in the seventh inning.
Cano also hit a two-run homer – his 23rd long ball of the season -in the second.
The Mariners looked they might escape the inning and hang on for a win. Now, just around 24 hours laters, it seems he’ll be off to a new home.
Hernandez walked five and hit a batter, but limited the Cubs to two runs in five innings in his third appearance since coming off the disabled list after being sidelined by a strained right calf. The Rays matched their season high with a four-game win streak, while the Yankees are back at.500 after dropping their fourth straight.
Twins 6, White Sox 4: Brian Dozier homered twice, and Ervin Santana had another strong start as Minnesota won at home.
The seventh inning took 72 minutes to complete, saw 21 batters come up, and twelve runs cross the plate.
