Blue Jays roll to franchise-record night, pound Red Sox 28-5

BOSTON (AP) – Raimel Tapia hit an inside-the-park grand slam after a misplay by Boston center fielder Jarren Duran and the Toronto Blue Jays set a franchise record for runs in a game, rolling past the Red Sox 28-5 on Friday night. Toronto came within two runs of the modern major league record for runs in a game after stranding two in the ninth inning with Boston infielder Yolmer Sánchez on the mound. Every Blue Jays starter had at least two hits, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. tied Frank Catalanotto’s franchise record with six of them. Danny Jansen homered twice and drove in six runs. Matt Chapman and Teoscar Hernández added solo homers for the Blue Jays, who topped their previous single-game mark of 24 runs set June 26, 1976 against the Baltimore Orioles. The 28 runs are the most ever yielded by a Red Sox team, eclipsing the previous mark in a 27-3 loss to Cleveland in 1923. ASTROS 5, MARINERS 2 SEATTLE (AP) – Houston ended Seattle’s winning streak at 14 games, with Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez homering. Seattle scratched breakout rookie Julio Rodríguez from the lineup moments before first pitch with left wrist soreness, then lost their first game since July 1. The club was one win shy of matching the 2001 Mariners for the longest winning streak in franchise history. Houston stretched its AL West advantage over second-place Seattle to 11 games. Altuve led off the game with a homer against starter Marco Gonzales (5-10), Alvarez added another solo shot in the fourth, and Martin Maldonado connected in the fifth for a 3-0 lead. YANKEES 7, ORIOLES 6 BALTIMORE (AP) – Aaron Judge extended his major league-leading home run total to 36 with a pair of towering shots and New York edged Baltimore. Judge has six home runs in his last seven games. He has 34 career home runs against the Orioles, his most against any opponent. Joey Gallo also connected for the Yankees, who improved to 65-30 – the best record in the majors. Yankees reliever Michael King had to leave with one out in the eighth with a right elbow injury. His status is uncertain. Clay Holmes took over and got out of the inning and then picked up his 17th save. Lucas Luetge (3-3) earned the win after starter Jameson Taillon lasted just 2 2/3 innings – his shortest start of the season. BRAVES 8, ANGELS 1 ATLANTA (AP) — Shohei Ohtani threw six dominant innings, only to surrender homers to Matt Olson and Orlando Arcia in a stunning outburst that carried Atlanta past Los Angeles. The reigning World Series champions resumed their winning ways following the All-Star break, getting six shutout innings from Charlie Morton and a sudden dose of long ball after looking totally overmatched by Ohtani (9-5) much of the night. The Braves struggled through the first two months of the season but have gone 34-11 since the end of May. They again climbed within 1 1/2 games of the NL East-leading New York Mets, who lost to San Diego 4-1. Ohtani appeared to run out of steam in the seventh. Olson hit a two-run homer, his 18th homer of the season and fifth in the last seven games. Eddie Rosario had an RBI single and Arcia hit a three-run homer that finished off Ohtani. Atlanta scored a seventh run via a wild pitch. Ozuna added his 18th homer in the eighth. DODGERS 5, GIANTS 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Cody Bellinger’s grand slam broke a tie in the eighth inning and Los Angeles beat San Francisco for its ninth straight win at home. Bellinger connected on a curveball over the plate from Sam Long (1-3) with two outs and an 0-2 count for his seventh career grand slam. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman each had two hits for the Dodgers, who are an NL best 32-13 at home this season.
