Seattle retreated to first-placed Houston Astros in AL West within 4 1/2 games while it moved to Boston in 1 1/2 games in pursuit of the second AL wildcard. The A’s fell 3 1/2 games behind the Red Sox in the wildcard race.
Ty France finished 4-for-4 with four RBIs and three runs for Seattle. Chris Flexen (14-6) won the game, threw five innings and allowed four runs and seven hits. He went one and hit six.
Seth Brown hit a triple homer for the A’s. Cole Irvin (10-15) scored five runs on six hits in over three innings.
White socks 8, tiger 7
Cesar Hernandez and Zack Collins each drove two runs during a six-run outbreak in the fourth inning and visited Chicago after clearing an incident on the benches in the final inning.
The clash in the ninth inning came after Chicago’s Jose Abreu and Detroit shortstop Niko Goodrum exchanged words after Abreu was kicked out trying to advance on a low pitch. Abreu had previously been hit in the inning by an Alex Lange pitch after Isaac Paredes was hit by a pitch by the Tigers.
Eloy Jimenez had three hits, including a double homer, for the White Sox. Yasmani Grandal added a solo shot as part of a game postponed last Wednesday. Jonathan Schoop had two hits, including a solo homer, and drove into Detroit’s home finals in two runs.

The 25-year-old left-hander allowed a run on five hits while striking five in 5 2/3 innings. Anthony Alford had two hits and one run for the Pirates, who have beaten Cincinnati 4-12 that season.
