NEW YORK — Neil Walker hit a single with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning, lifting the New York Yankees to a 7-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics Saturday afternoon. With runners on first and second, Walker won it when he blooped a first-pitch fastball from Chris Hatcher (3-1) into center field. After Gary Sanchez scored the winning run, Walker was mobbed by his teammates at first base and the celebration continued into right field. Walker’s hit occurred after A.J. Cole (1-0) fanned four in two scoreless innings after starting his outing with two walks. It also occurred after left fielder Brett Gardner and catcher Sanchez teamed up to complete an inning-ending double play in the ninth in a play the Yankees successfully challenged. Before the Yankees won for the 18th time in 21 games, Sanchez and Hicks hit back-to-back solo homers off Andrew Triggs in the second inning and Judge hit a two-run drive in the sixth off Triggs. Khris Davis hit a three-run homer (his 11th of the season) and Mark Canha added a two-run single during a five-run fourth for Oakland. Braves 10, Marlins 5: Freddie Freeman slugged two homers and Tyler Flowers drew the go-ahead walk in the eighth inning as Atlanta defeated Miami at Marlins Park. Freeman, who had his first career five-hit game on Thursday, finished 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs. Jose Bautista drilled his first homer as a member of the Braves, tying the score 5-5 with a solo blast in the sixth inning. He has 332 career homers, most of them with the Toronto Blue Jays. Ender Inciarte also homered for the Braves. Derek Dietrich knocked in three of Miami’s five runs with a bases-loaded double in the fifth that had put the Marlins in front. Cubs 8, White Sox 4: The Cubs and Willson Contreras had to wait an extra few hours, but they picked up where they left off on Friday, jumping on their intracity rivals early in a win over the visiting White Sox at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won their fifth straight game on the heels of a five-game losing streak. The White Sox have lost seven straight and 11 of 12 and, at 9-27, are the only major league team not to have reached 10 wins. Cubs starter Jon Lester (3-1) gave up only one run in 5 2/3 innings to earn the win. James Shields fell to 1-4, throwing six innings and allowing five runs on seven hits, with three walks and four strikeouts. Astros 6, Rangers 1: Charlie Morton recorded a career-high 14 strikeouts while Brian McCann, Evan Gattis and Carlos Correa slugged home runs in support as Houston evened its three-game, weekend series with Texas at Minute Maid Park. Indians 6, Royals 2: Francisco Lindor went 4-for-4 with two solo homers and two doubles as Cleveland waited out a 75-minute rain delay before beating Kansas City at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Nationals 2, Diamondbacks 1: Bryce Harper had two hits and an RBI and Stephen Strasburg won his third straight start as Washington became the first team to win a series against Arizona this season with a victory at Chase Field. Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 2: Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer, David Price pitched into the sixth inning and visiting Boston defeated Toronto. Pirates 6, Giants 5: Jordy Mercer got hit by a Tony Watson pitch with the based loaded in the eighth inning to give Pittsburgh its fifth straight win by beating visiting San Francisco. Reds 5, Dodgers 3: Scott Schebler hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning as Cincinnati pushed its win streak to five games and clinched its first series win at Dodger Stadium in seven tries going back to 2011 with a victory in Los Angeles. Rockies 4, Brewers 0: Trevor Story drove in four runs with two home runs and a double, and five pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout, delivering Colorado a victory over Milwaukee in Denver. Padres 2, Cardinals 1 (13 innings): Eric Hosmer doubled home pinch runner Jordan Lyles from second with no one out in the bottom of the 13th inning to give San Diego a walk-off victory over St. Louis at Petco Park. Twins 5, Angels 3 (12 innings): Mitch Garver’s RBI double in the top of the 12th inning snapped a 3-3 tie and helped lift Minnesota to victory over host Los Angeles. Tigers 4, Mariners 3 (Game 1): Grayson Greiner knocked in the first two runs of his career, Jose Iglesias hit a two-run homer and Detroit held off Seattle in the first game of a doubleheader.
