BALTIMORE — Josh Naylor hit a grand slam during a five-run fifth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Monday night.
Randy Arozarena had three hits for the AL West-leading Mariners, who have won 10 of their last 13 games.
Baltimore, which went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position, has lost three in a row for the first time since getting swept May 18-20 at Tampa Bay.
The Mariners tied it at 1-1 in the fifth on Ryan Bliss’ one-out sacrifice fly. Cole Young’s single ended Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson’s outing, and reliever Anthony Nunez walked Julio Rodríguez to load the bases. Naylor then lofted a fly ball just over the wall in right for his seventh homer of the season.
The Orioles closed within 5-2 in the seventh when reliever Matt Brash’s wild pitch reached the backstop and allowed Coby Mayo to score. Brash nearly walked Pete Alonso to force in another run two batters later, but Seattle challenged and Alonso was out on a called third strike. Colton Cowser grounded out to leave the bases loaded.
Baltimore also had a run removed following a review in the eighth a batter after Blaze Alexander’s RBI single made it 6-3. Pinch hitter Samuel Basallo made the second out on an apparent sacrifice fly to center, but video review found that Rodriguez threw out Alexander at second before a tagging Jackson Holliday scored.
Emerson Hancock (5-2) allowed 1 run in 5 innings and struck out 3.
Andres Munoz worked a scoreless ninth for his 10th save in 15 chances.
Gibson (1-1), who was recalled earlier in the day from Class AAA Norfolk to replace the injured Chris Bassitt on the roster, yielded three runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Seattle scratched shortstop Colt Emerson due to back tightness.
RAYS 3, RED SOX 1 Yandy Diaz hit a leadoff homer and drove in two runs as host Tampa Bay beat Boston. Jonathan Aranda knocked in the tiebreaking run with a fifth-inning single for the AL East leaders, who had lost five of six. Diaz put Tampa Bay on the board with his fourth leadoff homer this season, hitting the first pitch from Boston starter Connelly Early into the left-field seats. Diaz then drove in Taylor Walls on a sacrifice fly in the eighth, when Tampa Bay manufactured an insurance run without a hit. Aranda’s two-out single scored Austin Slater from third to break a 1-1 tie in the fifth, chasing Early (5-4). Slater, making his Tampa Bay debut, reached on an infield single before stealing second and advancing to third on a wild pitch. Left-hander Ian Seymour, the Rays’ opener, retired his first five batters and didn’t allow a hit until the third, when Marcelo Mayer evened the score with a solo homer. Seymour pitched a season-high 4 innings, allowing 1 hit and 1 walk with 5 strikeouts. Tampa Bay’s bullpen shut out Boston over the final five innings, yielding just three hits. Casey Legumina (2-0) got the win and Bryan Baker earned his 17th save.
YANKEES 7, GUARDIANS 5 (10) Cody Bellinger hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and visiting New York defeated Cleveland. Paul Goldschmidt and Ryan McMahon homered for the Yankees, who won for the first time in four extra-inning games this season. Angel Martínez connected for a two-run homer in the fifth to give the Guardians a 5-4 lead before Goldschmidt’s grounder in the eighth drove in Trent Grisham to tie it. With Ali Sanchez as the automatic runner in the 10th, Ben Rice was intentionally walked with one out. Max Schuemann challenged a called strike three on a full count and got it overturned to ball four, loading the bases. The Guardians pulled their infield in, but Bellinger’s base hit to left field off Shawn Armstrong (1-1) drove in Sanchez and Rice. David Bednar (2-3), the seventh Yankee pitcher, struck out three in 1 2/3 hitless innings for the win. He retired five of the six batters he faced.
