Cubs beat Nat to extend streak
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 10 - 05 - 2016

Jake Arrieta had a rare off day, but Chicago rallied for a victory over Washington.
Javier Baez homered in the 13th inning as the Cubs beat the Nationals 4-3 Sunday. The Cubs swept the Nationals in four games and extended their season-high winning streak to seven.
Chicago has the majors' best record at 24-6 while the Nationals are 19-12.
Arrieta — the reigning National League Cy Young winner — allowed three runs (two earned) and six hits in five innings in a matchup of the league's top teams. He struck out seven, but walked four (one intentional), threw three wild pitches and committed a fielding error. His 0.84 ERA that led all of baseball rose to 1.13.
Red Sox 5, Yankees 1: Steven Wright confounded the New York Yankees with his knuckleball by pitching a three-hitter and leading the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 victory Sunday night.
Wright (3-3) picked up his third win in his many appearances in New York by working quickly and efficiently. He was at 85 pitches through the eighth inning and finished off his first complete game by throwing 16 more pitches in the ninth.
Orioles 11, A's 3: Manny Machado hit two of Baltimore's six home runs, including a grand slam, as the Orioles took the three-game series against the Oakland Athletics with a 11-3 victory.
Machado hit a two-run shot in the first inning and added his third career slam in the eighth for a career- high six RBIs.
Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 2: Howie Kendrick hit a run-scoring single with two out in the eighth inning to end a tie as Los Angeles defeated Toronto.
Joc Pederson homered for the Dodgers, who won the final two games of the best-of-three series after the Blue Jays took the opener.
Indians 5, Royals 4: Josh Tomlin pitched six innings to keep his perfect record intact and Mike Napoli homered to lead Cleveland over Kansas City.
The Indians fell behind 3-1, but rallied to take a lead that Tomlin and the bullpen preserved. The win improved Tomlin's record to 5-0. Cody Allen pitched the ninth inning to pick up his eighth save.
Phillies 6, Marlins 5: Tyler Goeddel and Andres Blanco hit consecutive RBI doubles with two outs in the eighth inning, helping Philadelphia rally past Miami.
The Phillies took two of three games in their weekend series, moving ahead of the Marlins and into third place in the NL East.
White Sox 3, Twins 1: Left-hander Jose Quintana pitched seven strong innings and Chicago held off Minnesota to complete a three-game sweep.
Avisail Garcia finished 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored for the White Sox, who won for the sixth time in the past eight games and the 12th time in the past 16 games.
In other games it was: Rangers 8, Tigers 3; Diamondbacks 5, Braves 3 (11 innings); Rockies 2, Giants 0; Pirates 10, Cardinals 5; Astros 5, Mariners 1; Rays 3, Angels 1; Brewers 5, Reds 4; Mets 4, Padres 3. — Agencies
