Grossman's 2-run HR rallies Tigers past Yankees, 3-2 in 10

DETROIT (AP) – Robbie Grossman hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night. The Yankees took the lead in the top of the inning when automatic runner Aaron Judge came home from third on a passed ball. Justin Wilson (1-1) retired the first two Detroit batters in the bottom half, but on a full count, Grossman sent a high drive that cleared the fence in left field. Rougned Odor homered and had four hits for the Yankees, who dropped a bizarre game that also included a three-ball walk for New York hitter Gio Urshela. Bryan Garcia (1-1) won in relief for Detroit. Each starting pitcher – Gerrit Cole for New York and Casey Mize for Detroit – was a former No. 1 overall draft pick. Mize, the top pick in the 2018 draft, allowed a run and five hits in five innings. He struck out seven with no walks. Cole was picked first overall by Pittsburgh in 2011. He allowed a run and six hits in six innings. ATHLETICS 3, ANGELS 1 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – Jed Lowrie scored the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning after left fielder Justin Upton bobbled Matt Chapman’s single, Bob Melvin tied the Oakland record for managerial wins and the Athletics beat Shohei Ohtani and the Angels. Ohtani walked Lowrie on four pitches leading off the seventh and then walked Mitch Moreland. Chapman followed with a soft single to left that Upton struggled to pick up, allowing Lowrie to score easily. Seth Brown added an RBI single. Elvis Andrus had two hits to help the A’s to their third straight win. Ohtani (1-1) allowed three earned runs and three hits but had control problems late. He walked four and hit Mark Canha with a pitch. The win was Melvin’s 708th as A’s manager, tying him with current White Sox skipper Tony La Russa for most in Oakland history. Connie Mack owns the franchise record with 3,582 victories. Yusmeiro Petit (7-0) retired four batters to win. Lou Trivino pitched the ninth for his seventh save. GIANTS 8, DODGERS 5 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Giants left fielder Mike Tauchman reached over the wall to rob Albert Pujols of a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and San Francisco broke through in the 10th to beat Los Angeles. Dodgers pinch-hitter Austin Barnes hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth to make it 5-all. LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a go-ahead single in 10th off Kenley Jansen (0-2). Evan Longoria added a two-run double. Tyler Rogers (1-0) got the win despite giving up Barnes’ homer. Jarlin Garcia got his first save since he was a Marlins minor leaguer in 2011. Buster Posey hit a three-run homer in the eighth that gave the Giants a 5-2 lead. Three times the Giants had a lead and three times the Dodger tied it. In the end, the Giants wound up with their first win over their NL West rivals in five tries this season. CUBS 1, REDS 0 CHICAGO (AP) – David Bote homered, Adbert Alzolay wriggled out of several jams while pitching into the sixth inning and Chicago beat Cincinnati. Bote homered leading off the fifth to spoil Reds starter Vladimir Gutiérrez’s major league debut. The Cubs managed just three hits and won for the 10th time in 12 games. Alzolay (3-4) threw 103 pitches in 5 2/3 innings and gave up five hits, struck out six and walked three. Craig Kimbrel earned his 12th save in 14 chances. Nick Castellanos singled twice, extending the majors’ longest active hitting streak to 14 games. Gutiérrez (0-1) went five innings, allowing one run and two hits. He struck out three and walked two. BLUE JAYS 11, INDIANS 2, 7 INNINGS
