DETROIT — Chris Taylor banged out four hits, drove in two runs and scored once to lead the steamrolling Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers, their fifth straight win and 20th in their last 23.

Rich Hill (9-4) gave up six hits and three runs in his five innings, walking three and striking out five, leaving with a 7-3 lead.

The Tigers’ Victor Martinez greeted reliever Josh Fields with his 10th home run, a drive to right, making it 7-4 one batter into the sixth.

Cardinals 11, Pirates 10: Tommy Pham, Matt Carpenter and Paul DeJong hit home runs as the Cardinals built an eight-run lead and held on to beat Pittsburgh.

St. Louis won their 10th game in the past 12 to remain 1-1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central.

Reds 5, Braves 3: Cincinnati backed rookie Sal Romano’s longest major league start with a three-homer inning off Atlanta’s R.A. Dickey on the way to a victory.

Adam Duvall, Eugenio Suarez and Jesse Winker hit homers off the 42-year-old Dickey in the sixth.

The only run off Romano (3-5), who went seven innings for the first time, came on a second-inning homer by Matt Adams. The 23-year-old right-hander allowed five hits and two walks while striking out three.

Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve slugged back-to-back home runs off Athletics left-hander Sean Manaea (8-8) in the third inning to provide Keuchel a bit of a cushion.

Orioles 9, Angels 7: Manny Machado hit a grand slam off Keynan Middleton with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a come-from-behind 9-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

The Orioles (60-62) and Angels (62-60) both hit five homers in the game, but Machado’s blast in the ninth was the biggest.

Middleton (4-1) left a pitch where Machado could get it and he sent a shot over the fence in center.

Machado also hit a solo homer and a two-run homer and finished with seven RBIs.

Darren O’Day (2-3) picked up the victory for Baltimore.

Mike Trout and Albert Pujols each hit two-run homers for the Angels.
