Lux helps Dodgers edge Mets in matchup of division leaders

NEW YORK (AP) – Gavin Lux and the Los Angeles Dodgers quieted Timmy Trumpet at least for now, edging the New York Mets 4-3 Tuesday night in a matchup of NL division leaders. The Mets lost with Trumpet, who performs Edwin Díaz’s entrance song ‘œNarco,’� at Citi Field and ready to blare away if the closer got into the game. But Díaz didn’t get in. Lux drove in three runs, including a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning. The hit drove in Freddie Freeman and came immediately after Joely Rodriguez (0-4) intentionally walked pinch-hitter Will Smith. Heath Hembree (3-0), making his Dodgers debut, stranded a pair of runners in the sixth, when he whiffed James McCann for the final out. Jake Reed, Los Angeles’ fifth pitcher, notched his fist big league save in the ninth. GUARDIANS 5, ORIOLES 1 CLEVELAND (AP) – Cal Quantrill combined with three relievers for a one-hitter, rookie center fielder Will Benson made a pair of terrific leaping catches at the wall and AL Central-leading Cleveland beat Baltimore.
