Spencer Torkelson hit a walk-off home run and Riley Greene had two hits, including a two-run homer, to rally the\u00a0Detroit Tigers<\/a>\u00a0to a 5-4 win over the\u00a0Milwaukee Brewers\u00a0on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He blasted the solo shot to left-center off reliever Abner Uribe (1-1). It was the second straight game that Torkelson homered.<\/p>\n

Detroit tied the game at 4 in the eighth inning off Jahmai Jones\u2019 second home run of the year.<\/p>\n

Reliever Brant Hurter (2-0) shut down Milwaukee in the ninth to set up the Tigers\u2019 win.<\/p>\n

The Brewers rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the seventh. Blake Perkins tied the game with a double off of Tarik Skubal that scored Gary Sanchez and Luis Matos. David Hamilton then put the Brewers up 4-3 when his single off reliever Tyler Holton brought home Perkins.<\/p>\n

Skubal had been dominant early in the game, retiring the first 11 batters and throwing strikes on 24 of his first 26 pitches. He finished allowing four runs on seven hits and striking out five.<\/p>\n

Greene gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the first with his homer into left-center that scored Kevin McGonigle from third.<\/p>\n

William Contreras doubled in the fourth inning and scored when Gary Sanchez drove him in on a double to right.<\/p>\n

The Tigers went up 3-1 in the seventh when Dillon Dingler\u2019s grounder drove in Colt Keith.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 JR Ritchie allowed a home run to James Wood on his first major league pitch, then rebounded to allow one more run over seven innings and lead Atlanta over Washington for its eighth win in nine games.<\/p>\n

Ozzie Albies homered and had four RBIs for the Braves, who broke a 2-2 tie with four runs in the seventh.<\/p>\n

A 22-year-old right-hander selected 35th overall in the 2022 amateur draft, Ritchie (1-0) struck out seven, walked two and threw 54 of 89 pitches for strikes. He averaged 94.4 mph with 24 fastballs and also mixed in 25 curves, 19 changeups, 10 sliders, seven cutters and four sinkers.<\/p>\n

Wood homered on a fastball over the middle of the strike zone, his National League-leading 10th home run of the season, and CJ Abrams went deep on a changeup below the strike zone in the fourth. Washington did not get a hit after Daylen Lile\u2019s two-out single in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Ritchie started the season at Triple-A Gwinnett and went 3-1 with a 0.99 ERA in five starts. Atlanta selected the contracts of Richie and right-hander Carlos Carrasco from the Stripers before the game, optioned right-hander Didier Fuentes to Gwinnett and placed left-hander Dylan Dodd on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Wednesday because of left spine inflammation.<\/p>\n

Ritchie became the first Braves pitcher to allow two runs or fewer over seven-plus innings in his debut since Matt Wisler in 2015.<\/p>\n

CUBS 8, PHILLIES 7, 10 INNINGS<\/p>\n

CHICAGO \u2014 Dansby Swanson had his first game-ending hit in five years, and Chicago rebounded from a pair of blown leads to beat Philadelphiain 10 innings for their ninth straight win and the Phillies\u2019 ninth loss in a row.<\/p>\n

Chicago led 6-2 before Philadelphia closed with three runs in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa had a tying single off Jacob Webb in the eighth, Seiya Suzuki put Chicago back ahead 7-6 when he homered against Brad Keller in the bottom half and pinch-hitter Adolis Garc\u00eda retied the score when he went deep off Caleb Theilbar in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Swanson\u2019s opposite-field, one-out single to right-center off Tanner Banks (0-2) drove in automatic runner Ian Happ from third for Swanson\u2019s first walk-off hit with the Cubs, giving the win to Javier Assad (2-1).<\/p>\n

Chicago had a season-high 18 hits and is on its longest winning streak since taking 11 in a row from July 31 through Aug. 12 in 2016 \u2013 the year the Cubs won their first World Series since 1908.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has lost nine straight for the first time since Sept. 20-28, 2018. The Phillies haven\u2019t lost 10 in a row since an 11-game skid from Sept. 4-14, 1999.<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Tyer Glasnow and Tanner Scott combined on a one-hitter and Los Angeles avoided a three-game series sweep with a win over San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker and Hyeseong Kim had two hits apiece as the NL West-leading Dodgers won for the second time in six games. Kim and Dalton Rushing each had an RBI. Shohei Ohtani finished 0 for 5 with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Glasnow (3-0), who has never pitched a complete game in the majors, struck out nine and allowed one hit and a walk in eight innings. The 32-year-old right-hander threw 105 pitches, 69 for strikes, and retired the final 14 batters he faced.<\/p>\n

Scott got the final three outs in his first save of the season as the Dodgers notched their second shutout of the season.<\/p>\n

WHITE SOX 4, DIAMONDBACKS 1<\/p>\n

PHOENIX \u2014 Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the ninth inning that lifted Chicago over Arizona for their third win in four games.<\/p>\n

With the score 1-1, Chase Meidroth drew a four-pitch walk from Paul Sewald (0-3) and moved up on Tristan Peters\u2019 sacrifice. Pinch-hitter Edgar Quero walked and Benintendi, who is hitting .216, followed by driving a 2-2 fastball 410 feet into the swimming pool area in right-center for his second homer this season.<\/p>\n

Grant Taylor (1-0) stranded runners at second and third by striking out Jose Fernandez to end the seventh, then worked around a leadoff single in the eighth to pitch 1 2\/3 scoreless innings. Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save.<\/p>\n

DENVER \u2014 Gavin Sheets hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning and Miguel Andujar had three RBIs as San Diego rallied to beat Colorado.<\/p>\n

The Padres trailed 8-5 entering the ninth inning before Xander Bogaerts and Andujar hit RBI singles, cutting the deficit to a run. Then, with runners on first and third, Sheets launched a slider from Victor Vodnik 379 feet over the right field wall for his third homer of the season. The game-winning swing came on Sheets\u2019 30th birthday.<\/p>\n

It was the second blown save of the season for Vodnik (0-2).<\/p>\n

BOSTON \u2014 Cam Schlittler limited the team he rooted for growing up to four hits over eight innings, and New York rallied twice to beat Boston for a three-game sweep and a season-high six-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

With his family cheering on at Fenway Park, Schlittler (3-1) allowed two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 while striking out five, walking one and lowering his ERA to 1.77.<\/p>\n

It was the longest outing in 20 regular-season starts for the 25-year-old right-hander from Weymouth, who pitched eight shutout innings to beat the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium in last year\u2019s AL Wild Card Series.<\/p>\n

David Bedner tossed a perfect ninth for his seventh save in eight chances, dropping the last-place Red Sox (9-16) seven games back of New York with their fifth loss in six games. Boston scored three runs in the series.<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 Jacob deGrom struck out 10 over 5 2\/3 innings, Evan Carter hit an inside-the-park home run while Corey Seager went deep and Texas beat Pittsburgh in the rubber match of their three-game series.<\/p>\n

It was the 62nd career 10-strikeout game for\u00a0deGrom\u00a0(2-0), who has a 2.13 ERA in his six starts. The 37-year-old, two-time Cy Young Award winner threw 63 of 89 pitches for strikes, allowed five hits and exited after issuing his only walk.<\/p>\n

Carter\u2019s two-run homer\u00a0for the game\u2019s first runs came when he lined a 97.5 mph full-count fastball beyond the reach of right fielder Ryan O\u2019Hearn in the third inning. The ball ricocheted hard off the bottom of the wall and Carter rounded the bases for his first career inside-the-parker, and third homer this season.<\/p>\n

Oneil Cruz hit his eighth homer for Pittsburgh, a two-out solo shot in the fifth.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2014 New York survived a ninth-inning bullpen mix-up when Huascar Brazob\u00e1n went to the mound as closer Devin Williams started walking in, then hung on to beat Minnesota behind Bo Bichette\u2019s tiebreaking, three-run double for their second straight win after a 12-game skid.<\/p>\n

After placing star Francisco Lindor on the injured list with a calf injury, New York led 6-1 in the fourth, 7-2 in the sixth and 7-3 in the eighth before Ryan Jeffers hit the first grand slam Brazob\u00e1n allowed in his big league career.<\/p>\n

Brett Baty and Marcus Semien singled against Andrew Morris (1-1) in the bottom half, pinch-hitter Tommy Pham walked against Anthony Banda and Bichette doubled off the left-centerfield wall for a 10-7 lead.<\/p>\n

With the lights dimmed at Citi Field, Williams headed to the mound from the bullpen as called for by manager Carlos Mendoza, but Brazob\u00e1n simultaneously walked from the dugout back to the mound. Once Brazob\u00e1n crossed the foul line, he was required to start the inning, which meant Williams wouldn\u2019t be eligible for a save.<\/p>\n

Brazob\u00e1n retired Austin Martin on a groundout and Williams then relieved and struck out Luke Keaschall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spencer Torkelson hit a walk-off home run and Riley Greene had two hits, including a two-run homer, to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625451,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-625450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
