Rizzo hits 3 HRs for big league lead, Yanks outslug O's 12-8

NEW YORK (AP) – Anthony Rizzo homered three times to take over the major league lead, Aaron Judge connected on his birthday and Joey Gallo ended the longest home-run drought of his career as the New York Yankees outslugged the Baltimore Orioles 12-8 Tuesday night. Luis Severino (2-0) took a no-hitter into the sixth inning for New York before Jorge Mateo’s one-out single. Anthony Santander followed a few batters later with a three-run homer. Rizzo floated his sixth, seventh and eighth homers of the season over Yankee Stadium’s short right-field fence for six RBIs. The previously slumping Yankees won for for the sixth time in seven games. Gallo ended his drought with a solo drive off Jordan Lyles (1-2) in the fourth. Austin Hays added a three-run homer against Jonathan Loaisiga for the pesky Orioles, who scored four runs against New York’s bullpen. BREWERS 12, PIRATES 8 PITTSBURGH (AP) – Willy Adames homered twice and drove in a career-high seven runs, and Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh. Adames hit a two-run blast in the first inning and a three-run drive during a six-run sixth for the NL Central-leading Brewers. It was the first multi-homer game of his career. He added a two-run double in the fifth and finished 4 for 5, raising his batting average 45 points to .239. The game was tied 4-4 in the sixth when Rowdy Tellez singled with one out off reliever Aaron Fletcher (0-1). Tyrone Taylor followed with a triple and came home on a single by Omar Naváez. Adames’ drive later in the inning made it 10-4. Brent Suter (1-0) allowed Kevin Newman’s game-tying two-run single in the fifth in relief of starter Brandon Woodruff. Josh Hader entered with two on and two out in the ninth and struck out Tucupita Marcano for his ninth save, which leads the majors. TWINS 5, TIGERS 4 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Detroit catcher Eric Haase made a throwing error on a botched rundown, capping a chaotic play that gave Minnesota two runs and a wild victory over Detroit. Miguel Sanó had the final hit for the Twins – and his ill-advised baserunning after a long single off Detroit closer Gregory Soto (1-1) wound up helping them win their fifth in a row. Javier Báez gave the Tigers the lead with a three-run homer in the eighth against Emilio Pagán. Báez also hit a two-out RBI double in the sixth to chase Chris Paddack, the only run allowed by the Twins starter. Griffin Jax (1-0) pitched the ninth for Minnesota. PADRES 9, REDS 6 CINCINNATI (AP) – Eric Hosmer hit his first homer of the season and Jake Cronenworth added a bases-loaded triple during an eight-run fourth inning that sent San Diego past struggling Cincinnati. The Reds who snapped an 11-game losing streak on Sunday, own baseball’s worst record at 3-14. Joe Musgrove (3-0) allowed two earned runs through six innings. He beat the Reds for the second time this season. In the fourth, Reds starter Reiver Sanmartin (0-3) gave up seven straight hits, including Hosmer’s three-run homer. METS 3, CARDINALS 0 ST. LOUIS (AP) – Chris Bassitt pitched six strong innings, and New York beat St. Louis for its franchise-best sixth straight series win to start a season.

James McCann had an RBI double for the Mets, who were plunked three times by Cardinals pitchers. CJordan Hicks (1-2) allowed two runs before being pulled in the top of the third inning. He was struck on the right wrist by a line drive in the second. BRAVES 3, CUBS 1 ATLANTA (AP) – Travis Demeritte hit his first big league homer in nearly three years and made an impressive catch to back another strong outing by Max Fried, giving Atlanta a much-needed win over Chicago.
