White Sox 8, Rays 7 (10 innings)

Yasmani Grandal hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning and the Chicago White Sox beat Tampa Bay 8-7 on Wednesday, taking two of three from the Rays in a matchup of division leaders.

Jóse Abreu hit his 12th homer of the season for the White Sox, who’ve won 10 of 13.

Yandy Díaz and Mike Zunino homered for the Rays, who won Monday night’s opener but dropped the next two.

Abreu moved automatic runner Andrew Vaughn to third with a groundout and Grandal brought him home with a sharp liner to the right field wall off Pete Fairbanks (1-1).

“It’s huge,” said Grandal, who struck out with runners on in the fifth and seventh innings. “I left some guys in scoring position today, so the fact I was able to come through to walk it off was huge.”

Ryan Burr (1-0) worked a scoreless 10th for Chicago.

Lucas Giolito retired the first 10 Rays, mostly with easy flyouts and popups, before Randy Arozarena doubled in the fourth.

The White Sox gave Giolito a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the inning. Abreu sent Yarbrough’s 1-2 delivery into the left field stands to score Vaughn, and Zack Collins added a two-run single.

Yarbrough gave up three more runs in the fifth. Tim Anderson scored from second when third baseman Díaz threw wide of first after fielding Brian Goodwin’s sacrifice bunt. Yarbrough was charged with seven runs, five earned, on 10 hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.

“It seemed like every time they put a ball in play, they were landing where we were not,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “I’m encouraged and, overall, impressed with the way the guys were able to get back into the game and ultimately tie it.”

Kevin Kiermaier doubled in two runs in the top of the fifth for the Rays, who got a solo shot from Díaz an inning later. Giolito left after six, giving up three earned runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking two.

“We’re feeding off each other. We’re picking each other up when we need to and that’s a winning formula,” said Giolito, who got a no-decision in his 100th career appearance. “It’s a long season. Not everybody’s going to have their best stuff every day.”

Zunino added a two-run knock off reliever Codi Heuer in the seventh and Tampa Bay tied it in the eighth when Mike Brosseau came home on a fielder’s choice and Manuel Margot doubled to score pinch-runner Brett Phillips. Both unearned runs were charged to Aaron Bummer.

Ji-Man Choi struck out swinging in the fourth, but his bat almost made it out of the infield. The Rays first baseman lost hold of his stick on his follow-through, and it flew just to the edge of the infield grass between first and second. No Chicago players were near the bat while it was in flight.

Indians 8, Orioles 7

Aaron Civale became the first pitcher with 10 wins this season and José Ramírez homered and drove in three runs as Cleveland extended Baltimore’s road losing streak to 18 games.

César Hernández had a two-run triple and Ramírez had two hits and scored twice for the Indians, who moved a season-best nine games over .500. Cleveland seized control 6-3 in the third inning by scoring five runs off Keegan Akin (0-2).

The Orioles matched the eighth-longest road losing streak in major league history and are approaching the record of 22, shared by the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics and 1963 New York Mets.

Civale (10-2) allowed five runs in five innings, striking out two. Emmanuel Clase worked the ninth for his 11th save.

Athletics 8, Angels 4

Ramón Laureano hit a home run and made a homer-robbing catch in his return from the injured list, and Oakland rallied past Los Angeles for its sixth straight win.

Shohei Ohtani homered for the second straight day, giving him 19 for the Angels. He also neatly bunted against the shift for a single and stole his team-leading 10th base, a day before he was scheduled to start on the mound.

Laureano, who missed 17 games with a strained right hip, perfectly timed his jump to reach over the fence and catch Justin Upton’s flyball in the fourth.

In the bottom of the fourth, Laureano connected for his 12th homer, cutting the Angels’ lead to 4-1.

Angels reliever Tony Watson (2-3) faced six batters and didn’t record an out, surrendering six earned runs on five hits and a walk.

Burch Smith (1-0) went 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

Astros 8, Rangers 4

Jose Altuve homered twice and made major league history by hitting a leadoff homer one game after belting a walk-off grand slam, leading Houston past Texas.

Altuve connected again with a shot to the train tracks atop left field with two outs in the eighth inning to extend the lead to 8-4 and give him his fifth career multi-homer game. Astros rookie Chas McCormick also hit two home runs on a night when Houston went deep a season-high six times.

Altuve’s leadoff drive was one of a career-worst four homers allowed by Jordan Lyles (2-5) that put the Astros up 5-1 early. McCormick, Martín Maldonado, and Myles Straw also connected off Lyles, who began his career in Houston.

Houston starter Zack Greinke (7-2) permitted four hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings.

Tigers 6, Royals 5

Willi Castro homered during a three-run rally in the seventh inning and Detroit beat Kansas City for a three-game sweep.

Tarik Skubal (4-7) allowed three runs on six hits in six innings, striking out seven. Michael Fulmer earned his fifth save in six chances.

Adalberto Mondesi hit a home run in his first at-bat since returning from the injured list. Salvador Perez also connected for the Royals, hitting his 17th of the season.

Greg Holland (2-2) gave up three runs while getting just one out.

Twins 7, Mariners 2

Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer against his former team, rookie starter Bailey Ober struck out six and Minnesota beat Seattle.

Cruz’s second-deck shot to left field in the fifth inning made it 6-0 and helped snap the Twins’ three-game losing streak. Ryan Jeffers followed with a solo homer two batters later.

Jorge Polanco led off the game with a double against Mariners starter Justus Sheffield (5-6) and had three hits and three runs by the fifth inning, all against the left-hander.

Reliever Caleb Thielbar (1-0) won on the day he returned to the bullpen from the 10-day injured list. Twins pitchers struck out the Mariners 11 times.

Shed Long Jr. and Ty France had RBI singles for Seattle.

Zack Wheeler outpitched Clayton Kershaw, and Rhys Hoskins homered early to end an 0-for-33 slump as Philadelphia beat Los Angeles to avoid a three-game sweep.

Arizona dropped its 22nd straight road game, matching the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for the major league record with a loss to San Francisco.

Buster Posey hit a three-run homer in a first inning that lasted 43 minutes, while Steven Duggar and LaMonte Wade Jr. connected in the fourth as San Francisco sent its NL West rival to a 13th consecutive loss overall. Pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores added a two-run drive in the fifth and Brandon Belt hit his ninth homer that inning.

Reds 2, Brewers 1

Tyler Mahle tied his career high with 12 strikeouts, Tucker Barnhart drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the seventh inning, and Cincinnati finished a three-game sweep of Milwaukee.

Cincinnati has won six straight and 11 of 13. The Brewers dropped three straight for the first time in nearly a month and were swept for the third time this season. Milwaukee totaled nine hits and four runs in the series against the Reds.

Mahle (7-2) allowed three hits and a pair of walks over six innings. Brad Brach, Sean Doolittle and Lucas Sims completed the five-hitter, with Sims getting the last four outs for his seventh save.

Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta (6-2) struck out six over six innings without walking a batter.

Rockies 8, Padres 7

Pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon singled home the winning run in the ninth inning and Colorado shook off a monster homer by Fernando Tatis Jr. to beat stumbling San Diego.

Tatis hit a 477-foot homer, the longest of his career and his NL-leading 21st. He also doubled, but the Padres lost for the 13th time in 17 games.

The teams combined for five home runs and 23 hits and neither starter made it out of the fourth inning.

Trevor Story drew a leadoff walk in the ninth from Austin Adams (2-1), stole second and scored when Blackmon hit a 1-2 pitch into center field.

Carlos Estévez (2-0) walked the first two batters in the ninth and second baseman Brendan Rodgers’ throwing error allowed the Padres to tie it on a sacrifice fly.
