Gonzalez helps Dodgers slay Giants
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 09 - 2016

Adrian Gonzalez hit a walk-off double in the ninth inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 Monday.
The Dodgers (85-65) padded their lead in the National League West to six games over the Giants (79-71), who dropped their third in a row.
Giants relievers Will Smith and Derek Law combined to work a scoreless eighth before the Giants self-destructed in the final inning.
Law served up a lead-off single to pinch-hitter Andrew Toles before Corey Seager followed with a single off Javier Lopez (1-3), allowing Toles to take third with no outs.
Turner's RBI single off reliever Hunter Strickland scored Toles tied the score 1-1. Gonzalez then delivered his game-winner.
Joe Blanton (6-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
Royals 8, White Sox 3: Kendrys Morales, Paulo Orlando and Alcides Escobar homered as the Kansas City Royals topped the Chicago White Sox.
Morales' three-run homer in a four-run fifth gave the Royals a six-run cushion and sent White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon, who gave up six runs on eight hits, to the showers.
Yordano Ventura (11-11) held the White Sox to three runs and nine hits, throwing 106 pitches, 72 for strikes. He gave up solo home runs to Jose Abreu and Carlos Sanchez.
Red Sox 5, Orioles 2: Rick Porcello pitched a complete game and Mookie Betts and David Ortiz hit two-run homers as the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles.
Boston (86-64) leads the second-place Orioles (82-68) by four games with 12 games remaining.
Porcello (21-4), the major league leader in wins, allowed four hits and no walks while striking out seven.
Jackie Bradley Jr. and Dustin Pedroia each had two hits for the Red Sox.
Braves 7, Mets 3: Freddie Freeman continued his road mastery of the New York Mets Monday night, when the Atlanta Braves first baseman collected four hits — including a homer — and three RBIs to lead the Braves to a 7-3 win at Citi Field.
Rookie right-hander Aaron Blair earned his first major league victory with six solid innings for the Braves (59-91), who have won three straight to improve to 9-8 this month.
The Mets (80-70) had a three-game winning streak snapped. New York, which is 20-8 since Aug. 20, entered Monday one game ahead of the San Francisco Giants in the race for the NL's top wild card and two games ahead of the third-place St. Louis Cardinals.
Marlins 4, Nationals 3: Washington rookie center fielder Trea Turner misplayed two fly balls, leading to three runs, and the Miami Marlins used those mistakes to rally past the Nationals.
A.J. Ramos pitched the ninth, recording his 38th save of the season. He retired Daniel Murphy on a long fly ball to end the game, which ended Murphy's 14-game hit streak.
Cubs 5, Reds 2: Dexter Fowler's seventh-inning RBI single provided the go-ahead run while Jason Heyward added a two-run insurance homer in the eighth as Chicago rallied to a victory over Cincinnati.
Fowler's two-out base hit drove in Chris Coghlan from second to break at 2-2 tie as the Cubs snapped a two-game losing streak in the opener of a three-game Wrigley Field series.
Heyward's seventh home run, his first since Aug. 22, landed in the center field seats and brought home Addison Russell. The home run was the 242nd allowed this season by the Reds, breaking the major league record set in 1996 by the Detroit Tigers.
In other games it was: Rangers 3, Angels 2; Cardinals 5, Rockies 3; Astros 4, Athletics 2; Padres 3, Diamondbacks 2; Blue Jays 3, Mariners 2. — Agencies
