PITTSBURGH-Chris Taylor had three of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 10 hits as the offense picked up the pitching staff in an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.
Taylor drove in three runs and Yasmani Grandal hit a two-run home run for the Dodgers.
Twins 4, White Sox 1
CHICAGO-Jorge Polanco homered for the third time in two days, smacking one of the Minnesota Twins' three long balls in a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
Polanco led off the fourth inning with his sixth homer of the season after going deep in both ends of a doubleheader Monday.
Kennys Vargas and Eddie Rosario added home runs against rookie Lucas Giolito (0-1) in his White Sox debut. The Twins remained in playoff position with their fifth win in six games.
Marlins 12, Phillies 8, Game 1
Pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning, Giancarlo Stanton added his major league-leading 46th homer and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-8 in the opener of a traditional doubleheader Tuesday.
Dan Straily (8-8) allowed three runs and two hits-homers to Rhys Hoskins and Cameron Rupp-in six innings.
Marlins 7, Phillies 4, Game 2
PHILADELPHIA-Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run homer, Christian Yelich had a three-run shot and robbed Nick Williams of a two-run drive and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-4 to complete a doubleheader sweep Tuesday night.
Williams and Andres Blanco each hit quirky homers for the Phillies, Tommy Joseph also went deep and the teams combined for 14 homers in the two games.
Braves 4, Mariners 0
ATLANTA-Rookie Lucas Sims pitched three-hit ball over six innings and the Atlanta Braves scored on a crazy play that took three rundowns in a 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
Sims (2-3) won his second straight start after starting his big league career with three losses in a row. Seattle only got two runners as far as second base against the 23-year-old right-hander, a native of suburban Atlanta who won for the first time in front of the home folks.
Rays 6, Blue Jays 5
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Lucas Duda and Corey Dickerson homered in the first two innings and Chris Archer struck out 10 for the Tampa Bay Rays in a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Jesus Colome got his major league-leading 37th save after giving up hits to Kendrys Morales and Steve Pearce that left the potential game-tying run on third base in the ninth. The Blue Jays have lost four straight.
Diamondbacks 7, Mets 4
NEW YORK-J.D. Martinez hit an early three-run homer, Patrick Corbin pitched eight smooth innings to win his third straight stingy start and the Arizona Diamondbacks coasted past the sinking New York Mets 7-4 on Tuesday night.
Adam Rosales also homered and made a diving stop at third base to begin an inning-ending double play. Paul Goldschmidt doubled twice and drove in two runs as the Diamondbacks boosted their playoff position by winning at Citi Field for the second consecutive night.
Cubs 13, Reds 9
CINCINNATI-Cubs star Kris Bryant exited after being hit in the left hand by a pitch, and lefty Anthony Rizzo wound up playing third base as Chicago beat the Cincinnati Reds 13-9 Tuesday night for their seventh win in nine games.
The defending World Series champions moved a season-high 10 games over .500. This victory came with a late offensive surge, with the Cubs scoring nine runs in the last three innings.
Yankees 13, Tigers 4
DETROIT-Gary Sanchez hit two home runs-including a first-inning drive estimated at nearly 500 feet-and Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven tidy innings in his return from the disabled list to lead the New York Yankees to a 13-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Sanchez's two-run shot in the first was estimated at 493 feet by Statcast. The Yankees led 2-0 after that and never looked back.
Red Sox 9, Indians 1
CLEVELAND-Doug Fister gave up a leadoff homer in the first inning to Francisco Lindor and then nothing else, finishing with a career-best one-hitter, and Eduardo Nunez had five RBIs as the Boston Red Sox rolled to a victory.
Fister (3-6) was facing Cleveland for the third time in four starts, and the right-hander took advantage of his familiarity with the Indians' lineup. He allowed two walks and hit a batter, but was otherwise in control. Backed by two double plays, he pitched his first complete game since 2014 with Washington.
