NEW YORK (AP) – Gio Urshela stayed in the game despite a shard of a broken bat hitting his right eye in the second inning and hit a go-ahead homer eighth as the New York Yankees rallied from a three-run deficit in a 7-5 victory Saturday that stopped the Oakland Athletics’ seven-game winning streak. Aroldis Chapman struck out Matt Chapman on a 103.4 mph pitch to strand two runners in the ninth for his 15th save. Urshela singled in New York’s first run in the fourth and put the Yankees ahead 5-4 in the eighth when he lifted a 98.6 mph fastball from Jesús Luzardo (2-4) into the netting above Monument Park in center. DJ LeMahieu added a two-run single against Sergio Romo. Chad Green (2-4) struck out the side in the eighth. PHILLIES 13, GIANTS 6 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Rhys Hoskins broke out a 2 for 40 slump with a pair of home runs and a career-best six RBIs, leading Philadelphia over San Francisco.

Alec Bohm had three of Philadelphia’s 16 hits and had two RBIs. Brandon Belt and Mike Yastrzemski homered for San Francisco. Jarlin GarcÃa (0-2) took the loss. Ranger Suárez (3-1) struck out three and retired eight batters. MARLINS 11, CUBS 1 CHICAGO (AP) – Adam Duvall homered twice for the second straight game, and Pablo López (3-4) pitched one-hit ball over seven innings. The Marlins have outscored the NL Central leaders 21-3 through the first two games. Duvall remained locked in after hitting a grand slam and two-run drive in Friday’s 10-2 romp. He had two-run shots in the first and third against Jake Arrieta (5-8). Jesús Sánchez added his first big league homer, and Lewin DÃaz went deep. METS 5, NATIONALS 1, 1st GAME WASHINGTON (AP) – Francisco Lindor had five RBIs on a pair of two-run homers and run-scoring single for his first big offensive game with New York in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
