Baseball-Highlights of Tuesday's Major League games

May 26 (The Sports Xchange - Highlights of Tuesday's Major League baseball games: - - - Reds 2, Rockies 1 Skip Schumaker's pinch-hit double drove home Marlon Byrd with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on a rainy Tuesday at Great American Ball Park. The win ended the Reds' nine-game losing streak, their longest since 1998. Chris Rusin was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace scheduled Reds starter Jorge De La Rosa, who was scratched due to a cut on his left middle finger. Rusin, 28, delivered a bullpen-saving performance, allowing just one run and four hits in seven innings. He walked four and fanned five. - - - Mets 5, Phillies 4 (10 innings) Wilmer Flores tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and won it with an RBI single with two outs in the 10th as New York edged Philadelphia 5-4. Juan Lagares led off the 10th by singling against right-hander Jeanmar Gomez (0-1). Left-hander Elvis Araujo then walked Lucas Duda before Daniel Murphy hit into a double play. Michael Cuddyer drew a walk before Flores laced the first pitch he saw for a single over leaping shortstop Freddy Galvis. - - - Blue Jays 10, White Sox 9 Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson hit two home runs, including a three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth, leading Toronto past Chicago 10-9. The game-winning blast against David Robertson (3-1) was Donaldson's fifth career walk-off homer and his second this season. - - - Tigers 1, A's 0 Left-hander David Price pitched seven shutout innings, and the Detroit Tigers snapped their three-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over the Oakland A's. Price (4-1) allowed five hits, struck out three, walked one and hit a batter. He threw 109 pitches, 75 for strikes. - - - Cubs 3, Nationals 2 Addison Russell's walk-off RBI double scored Jonathan Herrera from second base, lifting Chicago to a 3-2 victory over Washington. Russell's two-out hit to deep center snapped a 2-2 tie and ended a two-game Cubs losing skid. Hector Rondon (3-0) worked a scoreless ninth for the victory. - - - Dodgers 8, Braves 0 First baseman Adrian Gonzalez homered and topped 1,000 career RBIs and ace Clayton Kershaw fanned 10, sparking the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-0 rout of the Atlanta Braves. Gonzalez, who went 1-for-3 with two RBIs, smacked a 0-1 pitch from Braves starter Julio Teheran into the seats in left to become the 12th active player to reach the RBI milestone. - - - Astros 4, Orioles 1 Jason Castro gave Houston the lead for good with a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning and Luis Valbeuna added a two-run single in the eighth as the Astros rallied late to beat Baltimore 4-1. The Orioles broke a scoreless tie in the sixth on Chris Davis' sacrifice fly. The Astros answered with two runs in the seventh. Chris Carter tied the game with a two-out single to left, and Castro followed with a double to deep right-center. The Astros added two more in the eighth when Valbuena lined a two-run single to right. - - - Twins 2, Red Sox 1 Minnesota Twins right-hander Mike Pelfrey tossed seven innings of one-run ball in a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox at a soggy Target Field. After a lengthy delay forced a late start to the game, Pelfrey ran into trouble in the second inning, then cruised from there, scattering just five hits and a walk, improving to 4-1. - - - Yankees 5, Royals 1 Adam Warren pitched effectively into the seventh inning and combined with three relievers on a four-hitter as New York defeated Kansas City 5-1. Warren (3-3) made it to the seventh for the third straight start, allowing one run and two hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five without a walk and threw 62 of 88 pitches for strikes. - - - Pirates 5, Marlins 1 Jeff Locke held the Marlins scoreless into the sixth inning, and each starter in the Pittsburgh lineup reached base as the Pirates beat Miami 5-1. Locke (3-2) gave up four hits and four walks in 5 2/3 shutout innings. He struck out six. - - - Cardinals 6, Diamondbacks 4 Jaime Garcia shrugged off a shaky start to work through six innings and grab the victory as St Louis beat Arizona 6-4. Garcia (1-1) allowed eight hits and four runs, three earned, over six innings. He walked none and fanned five. - - - Mariners 7, Rays 6 (10 innings) After propelling Seattle back into the lead with an eighth-inning grand slam, Kyle Seager finished off Tampa Bay in the 10th with a solo homer off closer Brad Boxberger to take the game 7-6. Mariners left-hander Joe Beimel pitched a perfect 10th to secure the win and hand the Rays their fourth consecutive setback. - - - Giants 6, Brewers 3 An off night from Madison Bumgarner was still good enough to lead San Francisco past Milwaukee 6-3. Bumgarner (6-2) struck out three and gave up four hits and two walks over six innings. He did not allow a hit until the fourth, when third baseman Aramis Ramirez broke the shutout with a solo home run to left. - - - Rangers 4, Indians 3 Prince Fielder's three-run home run and Mitch Moreland's solo homer accounted for all of the Texas' runs in a 4-3 victory over Cleveland.
