New York:  Edwin Encarnacion’s grand slam in the 11th inning capped a wild night as the Cleveland Indians, after blowing an early seven-run lead, rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 11-7 on Tuesday.
Bradley Zimmer, whose grand slam highlighted a seven-run Cleveland second inning, led off the bottom of the 11th by drawing a walk from Bud Norris (1-3). Zimmer stole second base, then went to third when Norris walked Francisco Lindor but threw a wild pitch on ball four.
Mariners 6, Red Sox 5 (13 innings)
Jean Segura’s infield single scored the winning run in the bottom of the 13th inning as Seattle handed Boston its season-high fourth straight loss.
With the Mariners trailing 5-4 and one out in the bottom of the 13th, Mitch Haniger drew a walk from Doug Fister (0-5), and Ben Gamel hit into a fielder’s choice. Guillermo Heredia fouled off a couple two-strike pitches before lining a single to right field, with Gamel taking third. Gamel then scored the tying run on a wild pitch, with Heredia advancing from first to third.
Yankees 4, Reds 2
Todd Frazier experienced a memorable Yankee Stadium debut, hitting into a run-scoring triple play as New York held off Cincinnati.
New York scored its next three runs in more conventional ways. Aaron Judge singled and scored on Didi Gregorius’ sacrifice fly to right in the fourth, Austin Romine lined an RBI double to right in the fifth, and Gregorius hit a home run in the eighth.
Cardinals 3, Rockies 2
Jedd Gyorko’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted St. Louis over Chicago.
Harrison Bader started the winning rally with his first big league hit, a double to left off Jake McGee (0-1). After Greg Garcia bunted Bader to third, Gyorko pinch-hit and lofted a fly ball to shallow right.
Mets 6, Padres 5
Yoenis Cespedes drove home the go-ahead run on a check-swing, seventh-inning triple inches inside the right field foul line and scored on a throwing error on the same play to lead New York past San Diego.
Rangers 10, Marlins 4
Joey Gallo launched two of Texas’ four home runs in a rout of Miami.
The Rangers’ power surge backed a solid showing from Cole Hamels (5-1), who bounced back from his first loss of the season.
The left-hander worked six innings, giving up four runs and six hits while striking out five and walking two.
