 [July 23, 2021]
Hunter Renfroe drove in the
winning run on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning as
the host Boston Red Sox rallied past the New York Yankees 5-4 on
Thursday in the opener of a four-game series.
Enrique Hernandez tied the game at 3 on a two-out, two-run double in
the ninth inning. He finished with three RBIs as the Red Sox won
their third straight. Alex Verdugo added three hits.
Gleyber Torres had two RBIs for the Yankees, whose four-game winning
streak ended. New York was held to four hits while dropping to 2-8
against Boston this season.
Brett Gardner's sacrifice fly off Matt Barnes (5-2) gave the Yankees
a 4-3 lead in the top of the 10th. In the bottom of the inning,
Rafael Devers started on second base and scored on consecutive wild
pitches by Brooks Kriske (1-1). Kriske walked Xander Bogaerts, threw
two more wild pitches, then got a strikeout before allowing
Renfroe's winning flyout.
Giants 5, Dodgers 3
LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a two-run single to cap a four-run ninth inning
as San Francisco rallied to beat host Los Angeles.
It was the second consecutive game in which the Giants pulled off a
ninth-inning rally against Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen; they scored
three runs in the final frame Wednesday.
Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, the Giants loaded the bases
against Jansen and scored on an infield single by Thairo Estrada, a
walk to Darin Ruf and Wade's single.
Athletics 4, Mariners 1
Sean Manaea struck out a career-high 13 batters as Oakland defeated
host Seattle in the opener of a four-game series.
Manaea (7-6) went seven innings and allowed one run on three hits.
The left-hander won for the first time in his past five decisions.
Right-hander Lou Trivino pitched the ninth inning and recorded his
16th save of the season.
Seattle's Tom Murphy hit a home run leading off the seventh inning.
The only other hits the Mariners managed off Manaea were two-out
singles by Ty France in the first and Kyle Seager in the sixth.
Mariners right-hander Chris Flexen (9-4) gave up two runs on six
hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Angels 3, Twins 2
Jack Mayfield hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and Andrew
Heaney tossed seven innings of two-run ball to lead Los Angeles over
Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Heaney (6-7), who had an 8.49 ERA over his previous five starts,
held the Twins to four hits while walking two and striking out
seven. He retired the final 11 batters he faced while making his
longest start of the season.
Jose Iglesias doubled twice and scored a run and right fielder Adam
Eaton singled, scored a run and also threw out a runner at second
for Los Angeles. It marked just the third time this season that the
Angels won a game scoring three runs or fewer.
Braves 7, Phillies 2
Dansby Swanson hit a grand slam, Orlando Arcia added a solo home run
and Atlanta defeated host Philadelphia.
Ozzie Albies contributed three hits for the Braves. Freddie Freeman
stayed hot with two hits and two walks in his 1,500th career game.
Jean Segura, Didi Gregorius and Ronald Torreyes led the Phillies
with two hits apiece.

base and scored a run.
