Chris Sale eliminated 13 of his seven innings in two sets as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Sale (7-4) allowed only four hits and walked one. Mitch Moreland won the Red Sox, which took two of three games in the weekend series after sharing a set of four games last week in Seattle.
Joe Kelly and Matt Barnes both offered perfect relief to the Red Sox to complete the shutout.
The sale did not reach a count of three balls on a drummer until Guillermo Heredia walked with two outs in the seventh. Seattle left-hander Marco Gonzales (7-5) tied Sale in the first four innings before getting in trouble at fifth and taking the defeat.
Reds 8, Cubs 6
Jesse Winker hit a three-run homer and Joey Votto scored a goal, RBI doubled as a Cincinnati host to win his seventh straight game and sweep a four-game series from Chicago.
The Reds won the match with a seventh run of seven points that included hits from RBI from Winker, Votto, Tucker Barnhart and Jose Peraza, who had two appearances in the marble with a single and a walk.
The Reds scored a run earlier than pitcher Michael Lorenzen hit a home homerun. It was his third career circuit. Chicago, who lost a five-point lead, was swept in a four-game series by the Reds for the first time since April 1983.
Rays 7, Yankees 6 (12 innings)
Rookie Jake Bauers dominated the first run at the end of the 12th inning as host Tampa Bay completed a three-game sweep of New York in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Bauers lifted a fast Chasen Shreve ball (2-2) over the center field fence. It was his second career circuit and the first Tampa Bay success since the third inning.
It also happened after Bauers nearly hit a Grand Slam off Shreve in the 4-0 win on Saturday, and four innings after Giancarlo Stanton struck Vidal Nuno's death blow.
Indians 12, Tigers 2
Jose Ramirez had a run of three hits, Edwin Encarnacion hit a grand slam, and Adam Plutko dropped two points in six innings when he returned to the rotation while host Cleveland extended his run of seven wins by beating Detroit.
Ramirez extended his base series to 31 games while the Indians moved to one of the top 10 games of the .500 season with the three-game sweep. Francisco Lindor and Jason Kipnis also hit home runs.
The Tigers debutant Matthew Boyd (4-6) lasted only three innings and more while Detroit saw his losing streak reach five games.
Dodgers 8, Mets 7 (11 innings)
Justin Turner crowned a happy match for Los Angeles by hitting a solo shot in the 11th inning to beat the New York host at Citi Field.
Enrique Hernandez and Cody Bellinger each won two solo balls for the Dodgers, who swept the three-game series and won nine out of 12, while Max Muncy and Joc Pederson each took a solo shot. The seven circuits tied the second best total in a team history match, and the seven solo hits equaled the league's major record.
Kevin Plawecki had a circuit and four career points for the Mets, who lost six in a row and 18 of their last 22.
Braves 7, Orioles 3
Nick Markakis had two hits and led a race against his former team to help Atlanta defeat Baltimore.
Markakis, who played for the Orioles from 2006 to 2014, was 2-in-4 and was 6-in-14 against the Orioles in the three-game series.
Brandon McCarthy (6-3) took the win on his first start since June 15 as the Braves picked up a game in the weekend series. The right-handed man allowed three runs on five hits in five innings and removed five. He dropped out of home racing at Trey Mancini and Mark Trumbo.
Twins 2, Rangers 0
Jose Berrios beat 12 career hitters during the seven shutout runs, while the Minnesota host thwarted Texas' seven-game winning streak.

Cardinals 8, Brewers 2
Jose Martinez crowned a fourth inning in five innings with a three-run circuit, sending to St. Louis Milwaukee.
Luke Weaver (4-6) pulled out nine points in five innings and two-thirds, limiting Milwaukee to two points as the Cardinals won part of the four-game series.

White Sox 10, Athletics 3
Oakland set a major league record for consecutive road games with a home run, but the Chicago host broke out with two big runs for the win.
Yoan Moncada went 2-for-4 with a double, a home race and six points produced for the White Sox. Chicago scored five points in the fifth inning and five more in the sixth to save a split series.
The explosion of Mark Canha in fifth gave Oakland a run of 25 games in a row on the road. That surpassed the previous mark of 24 straight-line games with a circuit, which was established by a Baltimore Orioles 1996 team that featured Brady Anderson, Rafael Palmeiro, Bobby Bonilla and Cal Ripken Jr.
Astros 11, Royals 3
Yuli Gurriel scored three extra hits, including a grand slam to complete a second run of eight points, giving Houston the advantage in the rubber match of the three-game series with Kansas City .
Gurriel finished 3-in-5 with two doubles and two points, but it's his second career grand slam that completely turned the tide in favor of the Astros. He hit the decisive blow in the two-man rally against Jason Hammel (2-9), signing his fourth home race of the season and second in as many days to double Houston's lead at 8-0 in the second.
Astron right-hander Gerrit Cole (9-1) withdrew eight with five innings of a ball.
Giants 3, Padres 2 (11 innings)
Hunter Pence made his second career stop against San Diego, closer to Brad Hand, a two-goal double in the late 11th inning to give San Francisco the win.
The Giants reacted after Manuel Margot celebrated his return to the top of the standings by marching and scoring Cory Spangenberg's goal at the top of the 11th, giving the Padres a 2-1 lead.
Looking for his 22nd stop of the season, Hand (1-4) eliminated Brandon Belt to start the 12th inning before Andrew McCutchen doubled a 1-2. The Padres intentionally stepped on Buster Posey, but Hand hit Brandon Crawford on the back to charge the goals. Pence then sliced a liner after Padres's first goal Eric Hosmer.
Blue Jays 7, Angels 6 (10 innings)
Kendrys Morales' home race at the top of the 10th inning lifted Toronto to Los Angeles in Anaheim, California.

The Blue Jays hammered four home runs in the match, also getting long balls from Devon Travis and Curtis Granderson. Justin Smoak scored three hits, including two doubles. Ryan Tepera (5-2) was the winner, and Tyler Clippard started the 10th for his fourth save.
Marlins 8, Rocky Mountains 5
Derek Dietrich played for the third time in a row and tied a career high with four hits, and by visiting Miami, he overcame starter Caleb Smith's defeat to beat Colorado. Dietrich matched his career with four hits, first realizing the feat earlier this month in St. Louis.
Nolan Arenado and Gerardo Parra competed for the Rockies. The start of the game was delayed by one hour and 31 minutes when heavy rain and hail hit Coors Field shortly before the first pitch.
Smith came out on the second run because of the tightness of the left shoulder. It is day to day. Drew Rucinski (2-1) threw 2 2/3 innings for the win, and Kyle Barraclough won his seventh save.
Diamondbacks 3, Pirates 0
David Peralta and John Ryan Murphy hit the shot to allow Arizona to participate in a four-game series against the Pittsburgh host.
After a good start, Clay Buchholz of Arizona (2-1) left after five innings due to the narrowness of his left side. He gave two hits while removing five and not wandering any. Buchholz later said that he hoped that he would be ready for his next scheduled departure.
Brad Boxberger started the ninth inning for his 17th stop.
