2021-07-17 06:55:33 GMT + 00: 00 – Wil Myers hit two homers and drove in seven runs, and Jake Cronenworth met Friday night for the third cycle in franchise history when the San Diego Padres did that too Attending were, a franchise record 24 runs in a 24-8 round of the Washington Nationals.
Nine different padres competed in runs, six of which had at least two RBIs.
Myers’ fourth career grand slam crowned a Padres runner-up with seven runs after the result was divided 3: 3 after one inning. The Padres scored in eight of the nine innings, including six runs in the sixth and four in the eighth, and finished with 22 hits.
Cronenworth won the cycle with a single in the sixth inning. He had doubled in the second, tripled in the third and homered in the fifth. He finished 4-for-5 with four RBIs and one run scored. Tommy Pham was three times shy of hitting for the cycle. He was 4-for-6 with one walk, two RBIs, and set a franchise record with five runs.
Chris Paddack (5-6) earned the win by giving up four runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. Erick Fedde (4-7) took the loss and gave up six runs on three hits and four walks in 1 1/3 innings.
A’s 5, Indian 4
Jed Lowrie drove a two-run, walk-off home run, one of which was missed at the end of the ninth inning, and gave Oakland a dramatic win over the Cleveland visit on their return from the All-Star break.
Lowrie’s 11th homer of the season came after Cleveland’s Bradley Zimmer broke a late draw with a solo home run and three Indians reliefs for three innings of the shutout ball.
But the fourth reliever, closer to Emmanuel Clase (3-5), was out of luck and enabled a leadoff single in the ninth to later give Elvis Andrus and Lowrie a bang. The walk-off win was Oakland’s eighth win of the season. The A’s have won three times in a row.
Red Sox 4, Yankees 0
Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two hits over 5 2/3 innings and combined with two relievers on a three hitter when the Boston visit beat shorthanded New York.
The Red Sox, who finished first in the AL East, improved to 7-0 that season against the Yankees, displacing New York fourth with nine games. Rodriguez (7-5) cut eight and gave two walks. Tanner Houck pitched three scoreless innings and scored his first career save.
Christian Arroyo hit a two-run homer in Boston’s second three-run inning, and JD Martinez hit a long solo homer in the eighth inning. Losing pitcher Jordan Montgomery allowed three runs on three hits in six innings. He hit four and went two.
Blue Jay 10, Rangers 2
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two home runs and four RBIs, starter Robbie Ray made it to the seventh inning and Toronto beat Visiting Texas.
Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run homer for Toronto and Marcus Semien and Randal Grichuk added solo shots for the Blue Jays. Ray (8-4) allowed no runs, four hits and two walks while dropping eight in 6 2/3 innings.
Eli White hit a two-run homer for the Rangers.
Brewer 11, red tones 6
Avisail Garcia, Willy Adames and Luis Urias helped level a three-run deficit while visiting Milwaukee and claim a win over Cincinnati.
Adames added a two-run double in an eight in five runs, ending with four RBIs for the Brewers, who advanced five games ahead of runner-up Cincinnati at NL Central.
The loss for the Reds was made worse by the early exit of their MVP candidate and NL beat leader Nick Castellanos. Milwaukee starter Adrian Houser came too far in with a fastball and punched Castellanos in the lower right forearm, near the wrist. X-rays were negative, said manager David Bell after the game.
Rays 7, Braves 6 (10)
Austin Meadows’ tiebreaking, two-out single in 10th place brought Tampa Bay to its first extra innings win in nearly two months and a win over hosts Atlanta.
Hitless in three career-at-bats against reliever Jesse Chavez (0-2), Meadows (2-for-4, three RBIs) lined a 3-1 pitch to the right to hit Brett Phillips, who made the throw for the Rays narrowly defeated. Pete Fairbanks threw a perfect 10th place for his fourth save.
The Braves all-star first baseman Freddie Freeman went 4 for 5 with two runs, two RBIs, a stolen base, and tore off his 20th homer. Austin Riley and Dansby Swanson also went in depth when Atlanta built two two-pass leads.

Mike Yastrzemski met two homers and drove to San Francisco in four runs to visit St. Louis.
LaMonte Wade Jr. added a triple homer for the Giants, who expanded their winning streak to five games.
