CLEVELAND-Brandon Guyer scored when first baseman Brock Holt threw away Roberto Perez's bunt in the 10th inning, lifting the Cleveland Indians over the
Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Monday night in a matchup of first-place teams.
After Guyer's leadoff double against Brandon Workman (0-1), Holt fielded the bunted ball and tried to throw out Guyer at third. Guyer slid into the bag as the throw skipped past third baseman Rafael Devers, then got to his feet and raced across home plate. Teammates ran onto the field and doused Perez with water and white powder.
Perez also had a three-run homer in the second inning.
Cody Allen (1-6) allowed Christian Vazquez's leadoff single in the 10th, but retired the next three hitters. The inning ended when shortstop Francisco Lindor ran down
Mookie Betts' popup in center field with his back to home plate.
Cleveland relief ace Andrew Miller left in the seventh inning after aggravating the patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Miller recently returned after over two weeks on the disabled list with the knee injury.
Mariners 6, Braves 5
ATLANTA-Andrew Albers worked into the sixth inning for his second straight win since coming up from the minors, leading Seattle to a victory over host Atlanta.
Albers (2-0) also had the first hit and RBI of his career-in his first big league at-bat.
The 31-year-old left-hander beat his former organization, having spent most of the season at the Braves' Triple-A club. He went 12-3 but never got a call to the big leagues.
Instead, Albers was dealt to the Mariners for cash on Aug. 11. He was called up by Seattle to make a start four days later, working six strong innings in a 3-1 win over Baltimore.
Now, after going just over four years between major league victories, Albers has two wins in less than a week.
Mike Foltynewicz (10-9) has lost four of his last five starts for Atlanta.
Orioles 7, Athletics 3
BALTIMORE-Adam Jones hit a pair of home runs, Jonathan Schoop added a three-run shot and Baltimore beat Oakland.
Wade Miley held the A's to two runs on five hits and four walks over six-plus innings to pick up his first win at Camden Yards since June 17. Miley is 2-0 with a 1.38
ERA against Oakland this season.
Jones tied a career high with four hits and is one home run shy of reaching 25 for the seventh consecutive season. Zach Britton got the final out with two runners on for his 11th save this season and his 60th in a row.
Baltimore beat Chris Smith (0-3) for the second time in 12 days. Smith allowed five runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings-his shortest start of the season. He was pulled after allowing Schoop's three-run homer, which made it 5-1. Ryan Dull entered and was greeted with another homer by Jones.
White Sox 7, Twins 6, 1st game
CHICAGO-Yolmer Sanchez homered and drove in four runs, Jose Abreu hit his 25th of the season and Chicago held on to beat Minnesota in the first game of a doubleheader.
Carlos Rodon (2-4) pitched effectively into seventh inning for the fifth straight outing to earn his first win since July 3. The left-hander allowed two runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings while striking out nine.
Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer for the Twins off Derek Holland to cut it to 7-6 in the eighth. Holland, who has struggled in 24 starts this season, was charged with three runs in one-third of an inning during his second relief appearance.
Juan Minaya pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.
Avisail Garcia had three hits and two RBIs for AL-worst Chicago, which has won three of four.
