REDS 3, GIANTS 2 CINCINNATI (AP) – Right fielder Aristides Aquino threw out pinch-runner Joey Bart at the plate to end the game, and Cincinnati held off behind Kyle Farmer’s early three-run homer.

Vladimir Gutierrez (1-6) picked up his first win of the season in his eighth start. Tony Santillan, Cincinnati’s fourth reliever, got four outs for his third save. Major League Baseball suspended Pham on Saturday for three games – retroactive to Friday – and fined him for slapping the Giants’ Joc Pederson during an altercation in the outfield before Friday’s game. Evan Longoria homered for San Francisco. Alex Wood (3-4) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings. GUARDIANS 8, TIGERS 1 DETROIT (AP) – José Ramírez homered and drove in five runs, leading Shane Bieber and the Guardians to the win.

Bieber (2-3) allowed one run and eight hits in a season-high eight innings. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner struck out five and walked none. Josh Naylor added two hits and two RBIs for Cleveland, which had dropped three in a row.

Alcantara (5-2) allowed four hits in eight innings while earning his third consecutive win. Cole Sulser finished the five-hitter for his second save. Miguel Rojas had three hits, including a homer off Darren O’Day in the sixth. Garrett Cooper’s two-run double off Collin McHugh in the seventh made it 4-1.
