Dodgers top Giants amid news of death of broadcaster Scully

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – In a game played as Vin Scully’s death was announced by the Dodgers, Los Angeles beat the San Francisco Giants 9-5 on Tuesday night behind Mookie Betts’ home run and three RBIs. The Giants played a tribute on their video board after the final out at Oracle Park, the stadium where, in October 2016, Scully broadcast the final game of his 67 seasons with the Dodgers. He died Tuesday at age 94. Los Angeles won its six straight game over the Giants and improved the major leagues’ best record to 70-33. Tyler Anderson (12-1) won his fourth straight decision, Betts finished a triple shy of the cycle and Gavin Lux and Cody Bellinger drove in two runs apiece. Trea Turner and Austin Barnes added RBIs for Los Angeles, which has won six of its last seven games. Anderson allowed five runs and six hits in five innings with four walks and three strikeouts. Joey Bart homered for San Francisco, which fell to 3-10 since the All-Star break. David Villar and Luis González also drove in runs for the Giants. PADRES 13, ROCKIES 5, 1ST GAME SAN DIEGO (AP) – San Diego rallied to beat Colorado in the first game of a doubleheader, hours after the Padres obtained superstar Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals in one of the biggest trades in baseball history. The trade was announced a few minutes before first pitch. The crowd of 23,828 at Petco Park applauded loudly when an image of Soto and Josh Bell, who also came from the Nats, was shown on the video board early in the game. The Padres fell behind 3-0 early, but bounced back. Jurickson Profar had a career-high five hits and drove in two runs, Kim Ha-seong had a career-high four hits and two RBIs, and Jake Cronenworth added a two-run homer. Yu Darvish (10-4) allowed a two-run home run by Randal Grichuk with no outs in the second and a solo shot by Brendan Rodgers leading off the fourth. Rockies starter Ryan Feltner lasted only 3 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and eight hits. Jake Bird (1-3) took the loss. NATIONALS 5, METS 1 WASHINGTON (AP) – Jacob deGrom dazzled in his first major league start in more than a year, allowing one run on three hits and striking out six in five innings before a bullpen meltdown cost New York against Washington. Sidelined for the second half of last season by an elbow injury and shut down late in spring training because of a stress reaction in his right scapula, deGrom delivered a 99 mph fastball on his first meaningful pitch since July 7, 2021. He threw 46 of 59 for strikes before coming out of the game. Francisco Lindor homered for the NL East leaders in the sixth. Mets reliever Stephen Nogosek (0-1) took the loss after allowing a two-run homer to Luis Garcia and a solo shot to Yadiel Hernandez in the sixth. Yoan López also gave up a homer in the seventh. Victor Arano (1-0) got the win in relief. MARINERS 8, YANKEES 6 NEW YORK (AP) – Pinch-hitter Sam Haggerty opened the seventh inning with a go-ahead homer, Andrés Muñoz escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and Seattle hung on for a victory over New York after blowing a four-run lead. The switch-hitting Haggerty batted for left-handed hitting Jarred Kelenic against left-hander Lucas Luetge (3-4) and broke a 6-6 tie by lifting a 1-0 cutter into the left-field seats. Haggerty connected after Josh Donaldson hit a tying two-run homer in the sixth off Logan Gilbert. Seattle is 5-8 since entering the All-Star break with 14 straight wins. Eugenio Suárez and Cal Raleigh hit early homers off Jameson Taillon, who allowed four walks. Taillon gave up six runs – five earned – in 4 2/3 innings. Carlos Santana drove in three runs. He hit a sacrifice fly to give Seattle a 4-0 lead in the third and added two-run double in the fifth.
