MILWAUKEE (AP) — Tyler Mahle tied his career high with 12 strikeouts, Tucker Barnhart drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the seventh inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Wednesday to finish a three-game sweep. Cincinnati has won six straight and 11 of 13. The Brewers dropped three straight for the first time in nearly a month and were swept for the third time this season. Milwaukee totaled nine hits and four runs in the series against the Reds. Mahle (7-2) allowed three hits and a pair of walks over six innings. Brad Brach, Sean Doolittle and Lucas Sims completed the five-hitter, with Sims getting the last four outs for his seventh save. Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta (6-2) struck out six over six innings without walking a batter. ROCKIES 8, PADRES 7 DENVER (AP) — Pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon singled home the winning run in the ninth inning and Colorado shook off a monster homer by Fernando Tatis Jr. to beat stumbling San Diego. Tatis hit a 477-foot homer, the longest of his career and his NL-leading 21st. He also doubled, but the Padres lost for the 13th time in 17 games. The teams combined for five home runs and 23 hits and neither starter made it out of the fourth inning. Trevor Story drew a leadoff walk in the ninth from Austin Adams (2-1), stole second and scored when Blackmon hit a 1-2 pitch into center field. Carlos Estévez (2-0) walked the first two batters in the ninth and second baseman Brendan Rodgers’ throwing error allowed the Padres to tie it on a sacrifice fly. ATHLETICS 8, ANGELS 4 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Ramón Laureano hit a home run and made a homer-robbing catch in his return from the injured list, and Oakland rallied past Los Angeles for its sixth straight win. Shohei Ohtani homered for the second straight day, giving him 19 for the Angels. He also neatly bunted against the shift for a single and stole his team-leading 10th base, a day before he was scheduled to start on the mound. Laureano, who missed 17 games with a strained right hip, perfectly timed his jump to reach over the fence and catch Justin Upton’s flyball in the fourth. In the bottom of the fourth, Laureano connected for his 12th homer, cutting the Angels’ lead to 4-1. Angels reliever Tony Watson (2-3) faced six batters and didn’t record an out, surrendering six earned runs on five hits and a walk. Burch Smith (1-0) went 1 1/3 scoreless innings. WHITE SOX 8, RAYS 7, 10 INNINGS CHICAGO (AP) — Yasmani Grandal hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning and Chicago took two of three from Tampa Bay in a matchup of division leaders. Jóse Abreu hit his 12th homer of the season for the White Sox, who’ve won 10 of 13. Yandy Díaz and Mike Zunino homered for the Rays. Abreu moved automatic runner Andrew Vaughn to third with a groundout and Grandal brought him home with a sharp liner to the right field wall off Pete Fairbanks (1-1). Ryan Burr (1-0) worked a scoreless 10th for Chicago. NATIONALS 3, PIRATES 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — Paolo Espino got his first major league win at age 34, Josh Bell hit a two-run homer against his former team and Washington beat Pittsburgh for a three-game sweep. Espino (1-2) allowed three hits in five scoreless innings. He struck out two, walked none and threw 39 of his 53 pitches for strikes. Washington has won four straight, matching its longest winning streak of the season. The Pirates extended their skid to 10 games. Brad Hand got the final five outs for his 13th save. Yan Gomes hit his seventh homer of the season in the second inning off Chase De Jong (0-1). TIGERS 6, ROYALS 5 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Willi Castro homered during a three-run rally in the seventh inning and Detroit beat Kansas City for a three-game sweep. The Royals have lost six in a row and 11 of 12. Kansas City starter Brady Singer was removed after just three innings with tightness in his pitching shoulder. Tarik Skubal (4-7) allowed three runs on six hits in six innings, striking out seven. Michael Fulmer earned his fifth save in six chances. Adalberto Mondesi hit a home run in his first at-bat since returning from the injured list. Salvador Perez also connected for the Royals, hitting his 17th of the season. Greg Holland (2-2) gave up three runs while getting just one out. CARDINALS 1, MARLINS 0 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina grounded an RBI single down the third base line in the ninth inning and St. Louis edged Miami to sweep the season series. Molina’s eighth career regular season walk-off hit came with one out and sent Miami to its fourth straight loss. Paul Goldschmidt reached on an error by shortstop Jazz Chisholm Jr. to start the ninth. After Matt Carpenter walked with one out, Molina singled off Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara (4-6). The Cardinals went 6-0 against Miami this year for their first season sweep over the Marlins. Ryan Helsley (4-4) and Andrew Miller combined for two scoreless innings of relief. Cardinals starter Johan Oviedo pitched a career-high seven scoreless innings. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
