ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Austin Meadows drove in his third run on a tiebreaking RBI infield single during a two-run eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays won for the 14th time in 15 games, 5-3 over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Randy Arozarena had a leadoff single in the eighth and advanced to third on a wild pitch by Sam Coonrod (0-2). After Yandy Díaz was intentionally walked with one out, Meadows made it 4-3 with his hit off José Alvarado. Tampa Bay took a two-run lead when Alvarado walked pinch-hitter Mike Brosseau with the bases load. Diego Castillo (1-3) worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the eighth for the Rays, who have won three in a row after Kansas City stopped their 11-game winning streak on Tuesday. J.P. Feyereisen worked the ninth to get his second save. Philadelphia starter Zack Wheeler gave up three runs, four hits, two walks and struck out a career-high 14 over seven innings. Matt Joyce homered for the Phillies, who struck out 15 times. Tampa Bay struck out 16 times. METS 13, BRAVES 2 NEW YORK (AP) – Francisco Lindor, James McCann and Jonathan Villar hit three of the Mets’ season-high five homers, Taijuan Walker pitched five scoreless innings in his return from the injured list and New York won its fourth straight as word spread that Atlanta star Marcell Ozuna had been arrested. Ozuna was charged with aggravated assault strangulation and misdemeanor battery/family violence, according to Fulton County Jail records in Georgia. Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney piled on with homers during the Mets’ seven-run sixth inning. Walker (4-1) had been out since May 17 with left side tightness but returned in top form, striking out eight while allowing two hits and a walk. Braves starter Ian Anderson (4-2) allowed four runs in four innings as Atlanta dropped to 24-26. GIANTS 11, DODGERS 6 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Donovan Solano and Evan Longoria homered, Logan Webb pitched five sharp innings and San Francisco won consecutive games at Dodger Stadium after losing the first four in the season series. Mike Yastrzemski hit two doubles and Wilmer Flores had three of the Giants’ 16 hits. Webb (4-3) held the Dodgers to just one hit and one earned run. He struck out seven, walked none and retired the final 11 batters he faced. Albert Pujols hit his 669th career home run and doubled, and is tied with Babe Ruth for the fourth most extra-base hits in major league history with 1,356. Pujols drove in three runs. Max Muncy also homered for Los Angeles. Julio Urias (7-2) had his worst start of the season and allowed seven runs — six earned — on 11 hits in five innings. PIRATES 7, ROCKIES 0, 1ST GAME PIRATES 4, ROCKIES 0, 2ND GAME PITTSBURGH (AP) – Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh bullpen finished off a pair of seven-inning shutouts in a sweep of Colorado. After JT Brubaker excelled to win the opener and end Pittsburgh’s six-game losing streak, Keller was equally impressive. The Pirates shut out a team in both games of a doubleheader for the first time since Oct. 3, 1976, against the St. Louis Cardinals. Pittsburgh pitchers combined to hold Colorado to just six total hits. The Rockies have lost five in a row. Keller (3-6) pitched two-hit ball for five innings. He struck out six and walked two after losing his previous three starts. After going 1 for 4 with a double in the opener, Adam Frazier hit a leadoff homer in the second on the first pitch from Austin Gomber (3-5). Brubaker (4-4) allowed four hits in six innings and Bryan Reynolds hit his team-leading sixth home run. Rockies starter Jon Gray (4-5) lasted three innings, allowing three runs on four hits.
