Wil Myers scored on an error by Texas center fielder Scott Heineman on Thursday night as the San Diego Padres recorded a second straight, 10-inning walk-off win against the visiting Rangers, with the 8-7 victory completing a four-game, home-and-home series sweep.
Starting at second to open the inning, Myers stopped at third on Jake Cronenworth’s leadoff single to short center off reliever Luis Garcia (0-1).
However, he scored when the ball ricocheted off Heineman’s glove and rolled behind the outfielder.
Earlier in the see-saw game, the Padres became the first team in major league history to hit grand slams in four consecutive games when Eric Hosmer connected in the fifth inning off Rangers starter Kyle Gibson. The four slams all came at the expense of the Rangers.
Singles by Hedges, who entered the game hitting.128, and Tatis plus a walk drawn by Machado set up Hosmer’s 366-foot drive into the right field stands. The blast gave the Padres a 5-2 lead.
Nick Solak tied the game at 7-7 when he led off the ninth with a solo homer against Padres reliever Emilio Pagan.
Rays 10, Yankees 5
Mike Zunino capped a five-run sixth inning with a three-run homer and visiting Tampa Bay beat New York for its first three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium in over six years, improving to 6-1 against the Yankees this season.
Tampa Bay’s five-run outburst off Adam Ottavino (2-2) and Luis Avilan gave it its first three-game sweep in New York since June 30-July 2, 2014. Manuel Margot hit a game-tying single off Ottavino in the sixth inning and Joey Wendle followed with an RBI single off the right-field fence against Avilan for a 5-4 lead.
Gio Urshela belted a two-run homer and Luke Voit also went deep for the Yankees, who are 15-3 when not opposing Tampa Bay.
Giants 10, Angels 5
Wilmer Flores homered, singled twice, drove in four runs and scored twice to lead San Francisco over visiting Los Angeles. Flores got plenty of help, as the Giants finished with 12 hits, including two each from Austin Slater and Brandon Crawford, who suddenly has gotten hot.
Just five games ago, Crawford was hitting .200 with no extra-base hits. But in the last five games, including the past four against the Angels, Crawford is 8-for-17 (.471) with two home runs and four doubles.
Giants starter Kevin Gausman (1-1) got the victory despite allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out eight and benefited from a big lead. Angels starter Jose Suarez (0-1), just called up to make his first appearance in the majors this season, lasted only 1 1/3 innings. He gave up five runs on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts.
Blue Jays 3, Phillies 2 (Game 1)
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. singled home the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning as Toronto defeated Philadelphia in the first game of a doubleheader in Buffalo.
Teoscar Hernandez singled with one out in the seventh against Deolis Guerra (1-3). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. blooped a single to center, where Roman Quinn overran the ball and Hernandez reached third safely on a close play. Gurriel chopped the winning hit through the left side of the infield to give Toronto its fourth straight win.
Jordan Romano (2-1) struck out the side in the top of the seventh to earn the win in the seven-inning game. Bryce Harper homered for the Phillies.
Blue Jays 9, Phillies 8 (Game 2)
Rowdy Tellez had a solo homer and a tiebreaking two-run single in a seven-run bottom of the sixth as Toronto overcame a seven-run deficit to defeat Philadelphia to complete a doubleheader sweep.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. smacked a three-run homer in the sixth inning uprising that started with the fourth homer this season by Tellez. After Teoscar Hernandez singled, Connor Brogdon replaced Phillies starter Vince Velasquez. He allowed a walk and the second homer this season by Gurriel.
Hector Neris (1-1) took over with one out. Errors by second baseman Scott Kingery and shortstop Didi Gregorius around a walk loaded the bases. Danny Jansen scored the tying run from third on a wild pitch and Tellez hit a two-run single to give Toronto a 9-7 lead.
