Phillies edge Diamondbacks
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 06 - 2016

Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard walked with the bases loaded to force in the winning run in the ninth inning when the Phillies' compounded Arizona's loss of ace Zack Greinke with a 4-3 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Pinch-hitter Jimmy Paredes doubled to open the ninth inning off Brad Ziegler (2-3) and scored on a single by Andres Blanco to tie the game.
Odubel Herrera singled to right to send Blanco to third and Peter Bourjos walked to load the bases. Ziegler struck out Maikel Franco to bring up Howard, who walked on a 3-2 pitch.
Greinke, who is 10-3 and had won his last seven decisions, left the game before the start of the third inning with left oblique muscle tightness.
He spoke to home plate umpire Pat Hoberg after throwing several warmups pitches and then summoned manager Chip Hale and trainer Ken Crenshaw to the mound.
Indians 5, Braves 3: Carlos Santana's run-scoring single in the ninth inning drove in the deciding run and the Cleveland Indians won their 11th straight game, beating the Atlanta Braves 5-3.
With the game tied 2-2, Atlanta closer Arodys Vizcaino walked Tyler Naquin and Juan Uribe to start the ninth inning. Santana delivered a single to right field to drive in Naquin.
The Indians added two insurance runs. Pinch runner Rajai Davis scored on shortstop Erick Aybar's fielding error and Santana scored on a single by Jose Ramirez.
The victory gave Cleveland its first 11-game winning streak since 1982. The franchise record is 13, last accomplished in 1951.
Rangers 7, Yankees 1: Cole Hamels pitched seven shutout innings for his ninth straight road victory and the Texas Rangers extended their road winning streak to eight games with a victory over New York.
Adrian Beltre hit a two-run home run off CC Sabathia (5-5) and it was enough for Hamels (9-1). Beltre added an RBI single and Prince Fielder contributed an RBI double as Texas won for the 28th time in its last 36 games.
Pinch hitter Nomar Mazara, Rougned Odor and Jurickson Profar had RBI singles for the final margin for Texas.
Tigers 7, Marlins 5: Miguel Cabrera blasted a go-ahead, three-run homer during a seven-run fifth and Detroit held on for a victory over Miami.
Cabrera's homer was sandwiched by two-run shots from Jose Iglesias and Nick Castellanos as the Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak.
Mike Pelfrey (2-7) lasted 5-1/3 innings despite giving up four runs on 12 hits and got the win. Francisco Rodriguez collected his 21st save.
Red Sox 8, Rays 2: Travis Shaw had a solo home run and five RBIs, helping Boston bounce back with a win over Chris Archer and Tampa Bay.
Boston had dropped six of eight before Tuesday's win, which saw starter Rick Porcello (9-2) keep the Rays bats in check, one day after an 18-hit, 13-run barrage.
Tampa Bay saw Archer (4-11) become the majors' first 11-game loser, matching the team record for losses before the All-Star break. Archer has also lost his last eight decisions against Boston.
Twins 4, White Sox 0: Brian Dozier hit two home runs and drove in all four runs, and Kyle Gibson threw seven shutout innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox.
Dozier's second homer — a three-run blast with two outs in the sixth inning — broke the game open and provided Gibson and the Twins (25-51) with some breathing room.
Gibson (1-5) scattered five hits and one walk while striking out seven.
Dodgers 6, Brewers 5: Rookie phenom Julio Urias earned his first career victory Tuesday night, holding the Milwaukee Brewers to two hits while striking out six in a 6-5 victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Urias (1-2), who is 19, worked six innings and might have picked up at least one more but walked six batters to hit the 100-pitch mark for the first time in his career.
Adrian Gonzalez had three hits and reached base four times for the Dodgers, who finished with 12 hits.
Cubs 7, Reds 2 (15 innings): Javier Baez's grand slam highlighted a five-run 15th inning, and the Chicago Cubs earned a 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Kris Bryant singled off J.J. Hoover (1-2) to drive home Ben Zobrist in the 15th, making the score 3-2. Baez's grand slam was the sixth allowed by Hoover, a Reds franchise record.
Other results: Nationals 5, Mets 0; Mariners 5, Pirates 2; Astros 7, Angels 1; Orioles 11, Padres 7; A's 13, Giants 11; Cardinals 8, Royals 4; Blue Jays 14, Rockies 9.
