Yankees pull out 7-5 win over White Sox

NEW YORK — Pinch hitter Chase Headley had a long tiebreaking double with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning as the New York Yankees blew three one-run leads before pulling out a 7-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium Sunday. Headley’s ninth hit in his last 25 at-bats gave the Yankees their seventh win in 10 games on a day when Carlos Beltran became the fourth switch hitter to reach 400 home runs. Red Sox 10, Astros 9: Ryan Hanigan had three hits and drove in four runs, Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run and the Boston Red Sox won a high-scoring affair against the Houston Astros 10-9 at Fenway Park. Hanley Ramirez and Mookie Betts also drove in runs for Boston (24-14). Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his career-high and major league-leading hitting streak to 21 games with a single in the fifth. Rangers 7, Blue Jays 6: Ian Desmond’s three-run homer sparked a four-run seventh inning for the Texas Rangers in a 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in a game marred by a benches-clearing brawl in the eighth inning. The Rangers trailed 6-3 going into the seventh before scoring four times to take the lead, with Desmond’s homer off Jesse Chavez (0-1) capping the scoring. Pirates 2, Cubs 1: Kang Jung-ho went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a solo home run as Pittsburgh held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and salvage the finale of a three-game series. South Korean Kang drove in Starling Marte in the seventh after Marte spoiled a no-hitter bid by Cubs starter Jon Lester with a one-out single in the seventh that ultimately sent Lester (4-2) to the loss. Royals 4, Braves 2 (13 innings): Kendrys Morales blasted a two-run homer to straightaway center with two out in the 13th inning as the Kansas City Royals outlasted the Atlanta Braves 4-2. Chien-Ming Wang (2-0) claimed the victory. He was the ninth Royals pitcher, a club record for a single game. A’s 7, Rays 6: Danny Valencia hit three home runs, the last one coming with two outs in the ninth, to provide the tying and go-ahead runs as the Oakland A’s rallied to a 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Oakland had been 0-20 this season when trailing after eight innings. Valencia had no home runs entering the weekend series but had five in the two A’s wins on Friday and Sunday. Twins 5, Indians 1: Tyler Duffey pitched seven scoreless innings and Jorge Polanco hit his first major league home run as the Minnesota Twins beat the Cleveland Indians. In seven innings Duffey (1-2) threw 110 pitches and gave up six hits, all singles. He struck out six and walked one. Marlins 5, Nationals 1: Right-hander Jose Fernandez allowed just one run in seven innings and drove in two runs and batterymate J.T. Realmuto had three hits as Miami beat Washington, garnering a split of the four-game series. Fernandez (5-2) improved to 5-0 in his career against the Nationals as he gave up just four hits with 11 strikeouts on a season-high 117 pitches. In other games it was: Brewers 3, Padres 2; Reds 9, Phillies 4; Tigers 6, Orioles 5; Rockies 4, Mets 3; Angels 3, Mariners 0; Giants 2, Diamondbacks 1; Cardinals 5, Dodgers 2. — Reuters
