BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Story drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning after Seattle walked the two batters before him intentionally, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 9-8 comeback victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer and Mickey Gasper a solo shot for the Red Sox, who were coming off a rough weekend when they dropped three of four to the Yankees.
Randy Arozarena had four hits, including a homer over the Green Monster, drove in four runs and scored three times for the Mariners, who have lost five straight.
Aroldis Chapman (3-4) worked a scoreless 10th.
Nick Sogard sacrificed, then the Mariners walked the next two batters, before Story lined a 3-2 pitch from Cooper Criswell (2-2) into the left-center gap.
Boston tied it against Andrés Muñoz in the ninth. Roman Anthony had a leadoff triple when center fielder Julio Rodríguez tried to make a sliding catch before the ball hopped past him, and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela’s fly to left.
GIANTS 7, BRAVES 3
ATLANTA (AP) — Rafael Devers hit his 30th home run of the season and rookie Turner Hill had a two-run double as San Francisco snapped Atlanta's seven-game winning streak.
Anthony Molina (2-0), who was traded from the Braves to the Giants at the deadline, picked up the win against his former team in his first start of the season. He surrendered three runs in five innings and struck out a career-high six.
Jason Foley, Reiver Sanmartin and Dylan Smith combined for four shutout innings out of the bullpen in a game that was a makeup of a June 18 rainout.
Devers’ first-inning home run to right field marked the fifth time in his career he has reached the 30-home run mark and was his fourth home run in his last eight games. He was 1 for 3 with two runs scored and two walks.
Atlanta starter Bryce Elder (8-8) allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings. Michael Harris II hit his 23rd home run for the Braves.
Osleivis Basabe hit a home run to lead off a four-run sixth inning for the Giants that gave them a 6-3 lead. Hill had a pinch-hit, two-run double off Dylan Lee to break a 3-3 tie, and fellow rookie Bryce Eldridge capped the rally with an RBI single. Rookie Jonah Cox added a solo home run in the ninth inning.
PADRES 5, REDS 0
CINCINNATI (AP) — Manny Machado had four hits, Michael King struck out six in six innings and San Diego defeated Cincinnati.
San Diego bounced back from a three-game sweep at Tampa Bay and moved into a tie with Arizona for the third NL wild-card spot. Arizona hosts Philadelphia later Monday.
King (9-9) worked his fifth consecutive quality start, allowing four hits and three walks. The last Padres pitcher to post five or more consecutive quality outings was Matt Waldron, from May 28-June 24, 2024.
Machado had a double and three singles in his first four-hit game since July 27, 2025.
The Padres jumped into the lead with a four-run fourth inning. Jackson Merrill hit an RBI single, Xander Bogaerts added a two-run double, and Dustin Harris knocked in another run before the first out of the inning.
Ty France hit a single that drove Fernando Tatis Jr. across in the seventh to complete the scoring.
Kyle Hart threw two scoreless innings and struck out four, and Wandy Peralta struck out one in the ninth to finish off the shutout.
Brady Singer (5-13) allowed four runs on 10 hits and struck out five in 4 1/3 innings.
METS 3, RAYS 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Robert Stock pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning for his first major league win in seven years, Mark Vientos homered in his return from the injured list and New York beat Tampa Bay.
Francisco Alvarez had an RBI single and left fielder Christopher Morel made two pivotal defensive plays as the last-place Mets stopped Tampa Bay’s four-game winning streak. New York, which snapped an eight-game skid at Tropicana Field, had lost six in a row and 11 of 13 to the Rays overall.
Liam Hicks and Chandler Simpson each had an RBI single with two outs in the eighth to pull the Rays to 3-2.
Kodai Senga worked a scoreless ninth for his fifth save.

Tampa Bay has the best record in the American League at 82-55 and began the day with a 4 1/2-game lead in the AL East over the New York Yankees.
NATIONALS 6, MARLINS 3
WASHINGTON (AP) — Daylen Lile homered twice and drove in four runs, Erik Tolman pitched out of a bases-loaded jam to earn his first major league save, and Washington beat Miami.
The Marlins dropped three of four to the Nationals and fell four games behind Arizona in the race for the final NL wild-card spot.
Lile, named the NL player of the week earlier Monday, finished 3 for 3. The second-year outfielder has five homers over his past eight games to reach 20 for the season.
Brady House was 2 for 4 with an RBI for the Nationals. Andrew Pinckney and Keibert Ruiz also had two hits apiece.
Tolman replaced Matt Waldron with the bases loaded and nobody out in the eighth. He struck out Kyle Stowers, then induced a double-play grounder from Leo Jiménez. Tolman then struck out the side in the ninth.
Waldron (2-2) allowed five hits across three scoreless innings.
TWINS 11, TIGERS 1
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Jeffers had two homers, Walker Jenkins went deep for the first time in his major league career, and Minnesota beat Detroit.
Taj Bradley (10-6) struck out nine in seven innings, his seventh outing with at least nine strikeouts. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed one run on four hits and allowed three walks.
Jenkins, the Twins’ fifth overall selection in the 2023 draft, had a two-run homer in the eighth off of position player Zach McKinstry for his first big-league knock. The 21-year-old is the third-youngest player in baseball and was the top prospect in the Twins system before his call-up on Friday.
The Twins led 2-0 through four innings after a sac fly and homer from Kody Clemens. They scored three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to take a commanding lead.
Jeffers’ first homer was a 420-foot, three-run shot to left-center in the fifth. Brooks Lee cleared the bases with a three-run single to right in the sixth.
Lee was thrown out after trying to stretch a double, but the throw to second allowed Luke Keaschall to score from first.
Jackson Jobe (1-2) allowed five runs, four earned, on six hits and struck out four in five innings.
RANGERS 8, ATHLETICS 1
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jacob deGrom allowed a second-inning single in seven shutout innings while bouncing back from one of his worst major league starts, and Texas beat the Athletics.
Brandon Nimmo had two hits, two RBIs and scored a run, and Justin Foscue added a solo home run for the Rangers (68-70), who trail Cleveland by 1 1/2 games in the race for the final AL wild-card spot.
Lawrence Butler led off the second inning with a sharp hit to right field off DeGrom (10-9), who struck out eight. The 38-year-old right-hander was coming off an outing in which he matched career highs by allowing six runs in the first inning and eight total in 3 2/3 innings last Tuesday at the Chicago White Sox.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner is 7-2 at home this season with a 2.42 ERA, compared to 3-7 with a 5.86 ERA away from Globe Life Field. In his previous home start, deGrom allowed one hit in six shutout innings against Washington while matching a season high with 10 strikeouts.
Rookie Gage Jump (6-9) allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings for the Athletics (53-85), who have lost four straight. They finished August 8-20, their worst performance in the month since going 7-21 in 1978.
CUBS 17, BREWERS 3
CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Bregman hit three of Chicago’s franchise-record nine home runs and the Cubs wrapped up their August power display with a blowout of Milwaukee.
Clay Holmes pitched six scoreless innings for the Cubs, who launched five homers off Milwaukee starter Kyle Harrison in the first four innings and three more against position player Andrew Vaughn late in the game.
The nine longballs matched the second-most by one team in a major league game, according to Sportradar. Toronto hit 10 during an 18-3 victory over Baltimore on Sept. 14, 1987.
Chicago finished August with 62 home runs, second-most by a big league club in a calendar month behind the 74 hit by the New York Yankees in August 2019.
