9/7/2021 7:47:22 AM GMT + 00: 00 – Nelson Cruz’s tiebreaker in the 10th inning helped Tampa Bay overcome a six-run deficit on Monday, sending the guest rays to the Boston Red Sox 11-10 in a wild game over Labor Day matinee.
Cruz crowned a three-way RBI day by placing a single up to the right of Garrett Whitlock (7-3) to hit Randy Arozarena, and pinch hitter Brandon Lowe dragged a single to give Cruz the crucial markings.
Collin McHugh (6-1) came out of trouble in the ninth and got pinch hitter Kevin Plawecki to land on full bases for the final after taking a run in the bottom tenth.
Ray’s rookie Wander Franco scored his first four-hit game of his career – 4v6 with three runs – while Cruz and Yandy Diaz each produced three of the guests’ 19 hits. Franco’s triple in the first inning extended his streak on the base to 36 games, joining him to Mickey Mantle (1951-52) for the second-longest in Major League history by a player under the age of 21.
Blue Jays 8, Yankees 0

Hyun Jin Ryu (13-8) fired six shutout innings for the win. He gave up three hits and no walks while hitting six.
Dodgers 5, Cardinals 1
Max Scherzer knocked out 13 thugs and missed a deserved run in eight innings when the Los Angeles visit closed St. Louis.

Nationals 4, Mets 3
Carter Kieboom crowned a two-run rally with a walk-off single at the end of the ninth inning when hosts Washington stunned New York in the finals of a five-game series.
The loss was costly to the Mets, who lagged four games behind the idle National League East-leading Atlanta Braves.
Mets seamstress Edwin Diaz (5: 5) tried his 29th save with a 3-2 lead and occupied a foulout by Juan Soto with walks on Alcides Escobar and Josh Bell to open the ninth.

He struck seven, including all three batter in the sixth inning, and retired the last 13 he faced.
