BALTIMORE - Aaron Judge went deep twice and Gio Urshela delivered a key pinch-hit shot, leading the banged-up New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Judge is now 10 for 19 with five homers against the Orioles this season. He has 13 career multihomer games, five of them against Baltimore.
Urshela is still hampered by a left knee injury but was available off the bench in the seventh. After Miguel Andjar singled and Kyle Higashioka walked, Urshela hit the second pinch-hit homer of his career off Travis Lakins (1-4) to erase a 4-2 deficit.
The Yankees were missing several key players, including shortstop Gleyber Torres (COVID-19), center fielder Aaron Hicks (left wrist) and slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who was a late scratch with left quad tightness.
Yankees starter Corey Kluber (3-2) allowed four runs over six innings. Jonathan Loisiga picked up his second save.
Rays 3, Mets 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Brett Phillips hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Rays stopped the Mets' seven-game winning streak.
After starters Tyler Glasnow and David Peterson both pitched well into the late innings, Tampa Bay came back against New York's bullpen.
Tied at 2, Tampa Bay loaded the bases with one out in the ninth against Miguel Castro (0-1) on a walk to Brandon Lowe, a single by Willy Adams and a walk to Mike Zunino. Aaron Loup struck out Joey Wendle before Phillips singled.
Pete Fairbanks (1-0) worked the ninth for the win.
Royals 6, White Sox 2, Game 1
CHICAGO - White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu and Kansas City batter Hunter Dozier were forced to leave after a frightening collision on a popup, and the Royals ended an 11-game losing streak.
Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer for Kansas City in the opener of a doubleheader, and Michael A. Taylor connected for a two-run shot. Brad Keller (3-4) got the win.
Chicago had won six in a row. Lucas Giolito (2-4) permitted five runs in six innings.
After popping up in the second inning, Dozier jogged out of the batter's box with his head down and grazed past catcher Yasmani Grandal. Dozier took another couple of steps and then slammed hard into Abreu as he was tracking the ball, knocking both players to the ground.
Abreu suffered a facial bruise and cut, along with a bruised left knee. Tests for a concussion were negative and his status was day to day. Dozier was put on the seven-day concussion injured list.
Red Sox 4, Angels 3
BOSTON - Hunter Renfroe and Bobby Dalbec each hit a two-run homer, lifting Boston to the win.
The Red Sox opened the weekend series with their second straight victory after dropping three in a row. Matt Andriese (2-2) got the win despite allowing José Iglesias' two-run double in the seventh, and Matt Barnes struck out the side in the ninth for his ninth save.
Shonhei Ohtani hit his 11th homer for the Angels, who lost their third straight.
Los Angeles grabbed a 3-2 lead on Iglesias' double, but Dalbec responded with a go-ahead drive off Tony Watson (1-1) in the bottom half of the seventh.
Pirates 3, Giants 2, 11 innings
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh's Adam Frazier tripled home the tying run in the 11th inning with his fourth hit of the game and scored the winner on Gregory Polanco's sacrifice fly.
Austin Slater's single put San Francisco ahead in the top of the 11th, but Frazier led off the bottom half with his hit high off the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field. That scored Michael Perez, who began the inning as the automatic runner on second base.
One out later, Giants manager Gabe Kapler had Caleb Baragar (2-1) intentionally walk Bryan Reynolds and rookie Will Craig to load the bases. Polanco foiled the strategy by hitting a deep fly to center field.
The comeback gave Luis Oviedo (1-1) his first major league win.
Cubs 4, Tigers 2
DETROIT - Kris Bryant hit a two-run homer, and the Cubs snapped the Tigers' four-game winning streak.
Jake Arrieta (4-3) faced the minimum number of hitters until the bottom of the sixth, when Detroit's Jake Rogers and Robbie Grossman hit consecutive home runs with two out. That was all the scoring for the Tigers, who entered the night with the second-worst record in baseball, percentage points ahead of Minnesota.
Tarik Skubal (0-6) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.
Joc Pederson had three hits for the Cubs, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Craig Kimbrel struck out of the side in the ninth for his seventh save in eight chances.
