Diamondbacks 6, Mets 5 (10 innings) Josh Reddick"s two-run double in the bottom of the 10th gave Arizona a win over New York in Phoenix. Reddick"s hit off Trevor May (2-2) barely hit the line; it was reviewed by the umpires and the fair-ball rule stood. Eduardo Escobar and Pavin Smith, who had three RBIs, both scored. Arizona, which has lost 14 of its last 16 games, rallied for a run in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. Dominic Smith hit his third home run of the season and Marcus Stroman struck out six without a walk in his six innings for the Mets.

Orioles 7, Twins 4 Pedro Severino and Maikel Franco homered and Baltimore snapped a 14-game losing streak with a win against visiting Minnesota.

Kyle Garlick and Willians Astudillo homered for Minnesota. Yankees 5, Rays 3 (11 innings) Clint Frazier hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 11th inning for host New York, which snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Tampa Bay. After Luis Cessa (1-0) threw a perfect top of the 11th, Miguel Andujar and Brett Gardner grounded out to start the bottom half against Andrew Kittredge (5-1). Frazier hit a 0-1 pitch well beyond the left-field wall for just the Yankees" fourth hit in their last 38 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Austin Meadows hit a two-run homer in the first and Kevin Kiermaier homered in the fifth for the Rays, who lost for just the second time in 18 games.

Bieber (6-3, 3.08 ERA) was charged with two earned runs plus five hits while walking two and striking out seven over 103 pitches. Billy Hamilton stayed hot with two RBIs for Chicago, which has lost six of eight on the road. White Sox starter Dylan Cease (3-2, 3.79) entered with a sub-3.00 ERA, but was charged with all six Indians runs, plus eight hits over 3 1/3 innings -- matching his shortest start of the season. Nationals 11, Braves 6 Ryan Zimmerman and Juan Soto each hit home runs to pace a 14-hit attack and help visiting Washington break out of its slump and end a five-game losing streak with a win over Atlanta.

Texas trailed 2-1 in the eighth inning before Khris Davis tied the game with his one-out, pinch-hit homer off Carlos Estevez. Athletics 12, Mariners 6 Tony Kemp went 3-for-4 with a double, home run and career-high-tying five RBIs as Oakland snapped a three-game losing streak by rallying to beat host Seattle.

Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 Edmundo Sosa grounded an RBI single to left field in the ninth inning and St. Louis defeated host Los Angeles.
