Mets split series with Dodgers in 10-inning thriller, 5-4

LOS ANGELES (AP) – J.D. Davis led off the 10th inning with an RBI double after the Mets blew a two-run lead in the ninth, and New York hung on to salvage a four-game series split with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Pete Alonso doubled home the tying run in the eighth and scored the go-ahead run on Eduardo Escobar’s sacrifice fly for the Mets, who have won eight of 11. Alonso then started the 10th on second base as the automatic runner and scored another go-ahead run on Davis’ hit off Craig Kimbrel (0-2). Will Smith homered and Eddy Alvarez tied it with a two-out RBI single in the ninth for the Dodgers, who have lost five of seven. Rookie right-hander Adonis Medina retired Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to open the Dodgers’ half of the 10th before Trea Turner reached on catcher interference, putting runners at the corners. Turner stole second without a throw but Medina coolly struck out Smith to earn his first career save in his sixth appearance for the Mets. Seth Lugo (1-1) got the win. Starling Marte homered early in the second straight victory for the Mets, who won at Dodger Stadium after trailing in the eighth inning for the first time since July 22, 2007. PHILLIES 9, ANGELS 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Bryson Stott hit a game-winning, three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning after Bryce Harper tied it with a grand slam in the eighth, and Philadelphia rallied for a victory that sent slumping Mike Trout and Los Angeles Angels to their 11th straight defeat. It was the fourth victory in a row for the Phillies, who have won all three games under interim manager Rob Thomson since he took over when Joe Girardi was fired Friday. Trout went 0 for 3 and is hitless in his last 26 at-bats, the longest drought of his decorated career. The three-time MVP did walk and score a run for the Angels, whose last win came on May 24. The Angels are on their longest losing streak since an 11-game slide in August 2016. After blowing a 6-2 lead in the eighth, the Angels went ahead 7-6 in the ninth against Corey Knebel (2-4) when Matt Duffy made up for a costly fielding error at third base with a two-out RBI single. Singles by Alec Bohm and Didi Gregorius off Los Angeles closer Raisel Iglesias (1-4) put runners on first and second with two outs. Angels manager Joe Maddon, who summoned Iglesias with one out in the eighth, brought in Jimmy Herget to face Stott. The rookie connected on a full-count curveball clocked at 74 mph and sent the home team – and crowd – into a raucous celebration when he cleared the wall in right field. It was the second blown save in 13 chances for Iglesias. TWINS 8, BLUE JAYS 6 TORONTO (AP) – Luis Arráez went 4 for 4 with a walk, Gary Sánchez and Trevor Larnach homered and Minnesota beat Toronto. Arráez leads all of baseball with a .358 batting average. Six different players drove in a run and the Twins had 16 hits as they took two of three from the Blue Jays, cooling down a Toronto team that came into the series on an eight-game winning streak. Twins right-hander Devin Smeltzer allowed two runs and four hits in four innings. Jharel Cotton (2-1) got the win, and Jovani Moran earned his first career save. George Springer hit the 50th leadoff home run of his career and Santiago Espinal made it close with a three-run home run off Duffey. Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (5-4) had season highs of nine hits and five runs, three earned, in 3 2/3 innings. YANKEES 5, TIGERS 4, 10 INNINGS NEW YORK (AP) – Josh Donaldson hit a 10th-inning sacrifice fly, and New York came from behind twice to beat Detroit and reach the one-third mark of the season at 39-15, which is the best in the major leagues in 21 years.
