Judge’s 28th homer gives Yankees split with Astros

The Associated Press

NEW YORK • Aaron Judge drove a three-run homer in the 10th inning for his second walk-off hit against the Astros in four days, and the New York Yankees recovered after nearly being no-hit for the second consecutive game to beat Houston 6-3 on Sunday for a four-game split between the AL’s top teams.

Giancarlo Stanton ended a historic hitless drought for New York with a one-out homer in the seventh against José Urquidy, and DJ LeMahieu followed with a tying two-run drive in the eighth off Phil Maton.

After Michael King (5-1) stranded the bases loaded in the 10th, Judge connected off Seth Martinez (0-1) for his major league-leading 28th home run.

Angels 2, Mariners 1

ANAHEIM, CALIF. • A lengthy bench-clearing brawl resulted in the ejections of six players and both managers in the second inning.

Los Angeles interim manager Phil Nevin and Seattle’s Scott Servais were ejected. The Angels lost Andrew Wantz, closer Raisel Iglesias and reliever Ryan Tepera, while Jesse Winker, Julio Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford were tossed for the Mariners.

Luis Rengifo homered and David MacKinnon drove in the tiebreaking run with a single in the seventh. Marco Gonzales (4-8) pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning of a hard-luck loss.

Dodgers 5, Braves 3, 11 innings

ATLANTA • Chris Taylor had three hits, including the go-ahead double in the 11th, lifting Los Angeles past Atlanta.

The Dodgers, who scored two runs in the ninth to force extra innings, won two of three games in the weekend series between the last two World Series champions.

Taylor’s double off Darren O’Day (1-2) glanced off the glove of third baseman Austin Riley as Cody Bellinger scored from third base. Trea Turner padded the lead with a run-scoring single to center field.

Phillies 8, Padres 5

SAN DIEGO • Kyle Schwarber hit a goahead, three-run homer in the seventh off Nabil Crismatt (4-1) as Philadelphia rallied from a 5-2 deficit, one day after losing NL MVP Bryce Harper with a broken left thumb.

Marlins 3, Mets 2

MIAMI • Rookie Nick Fortes homered off Adam Ottavino (2-2) with two outs in the ninth, helping Miami avoid a threegame sweep by the NL East leaders.

Tanner Scott (3-2) walked J.D. Davis leading off the ninth. Davis advanced on a wild pitch and reached third on Luis Guillorme’s one-out groundout.

Rays 4, Pirates 2

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. • Shane McClanahan (8-3) struck out 10 over seven innings, allowing one run and four hits. He lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.77 ERA and grabbed the big league lead in strikeouts with 123.

Tampa Bay took a 4-1 lead in the seventh on Ji-Man Choi’s run-scoring double and RBI singles by Josh Lowe and Isaac Paredes off Anthony Banda, who replaced Tyler Beede (0-1) with one on and two outs.
