PITTSBURGH (AP) — Tyler Anderson pitched seven sparkling innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped Milwaukee’s 11-game winning streak Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Brewers. Kevin Newman homered and Wilmer Difo had an RBI double as the Pirates stopped a six-game slide. Milwaukee managed just three hits off Anderson (4-8), who broke a personal five-game skid. The left-hander struck out six and walked two while throwing 93 pitches. Milwaukee’s win streak was the second-longest in franchise history. The Brewers won their first 13 games in 1987. David Bednar and Richard Rodriguez finished the four-hitter with one inning apiece. Rodriguez earned his 11th save in 13 opportunities by completing the Pirates’ third shutout of the season. Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (7-3) had control issues with five walks in six innings. But he allowed just two runs and three hits. METS 10, YANKEES 5, GAME 1 NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso hit a tying homer off Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, and José Peraza lined a tiebreaking two-run double that was aided by interference from a visiting fan in the Bronx. Alonso opened the seventh by dropping his barrel on Chapman’s 1-2 slider near the bottom of the zone and lofting it into the visitor’s bullpen. Chapman then plunked Michael Conforto, walked Jeff McNeil and was promptly yanked by manager Aaron Boone. With Lucas Luetge pitching with one out and the bases loaded, Peraza ripped a ball that would have hit midway up the left-field wall. Yankees outfielder Tim Locastro might have had a play on it, but a fan in a Mets jersey reached over to catch the ball. Confused players and fans initially had no idea where the ball went. Locastro pointed at the fan angrily, and umpires conferred on the infield before awarding Peraza two bases. The Yankees didn’t argue. Chapman (5-3) failed to record an out in his first appearance since giving up a tying grand slam in the ninth inning during an 11-8 loss Wednesday to the Los Angeles Angels. Jeurys Familia (3-1) pitched a scoreless sixth for the win in the opener of a split-doubleheader. BRAVES 8, MARLINS 7, 10 INNINGS ATLANTA (AP) — Pinch-hitting pitcher Max Fried lined a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning, lifting Atlanta to a wild comeback victory. Fried was called on to hit with the Braves out of position players after a four-run rally in the ninth. He singled on a 3-1 pitch off Anthony Bass (1-4), driving in Dansby Swanson from third base and setting off a celebration on the first-base line. Miami opened a 7-3 lead with three runs in the ninth. Sandy Leon led off with a drive to right for his second homer. Starling Marte singled with two out and scored on Jesús Aguilar’s 13th homer. Ronald Acuña Jr. homered and drove in three runs for Atlanta. Will Smith (3-5) pitched the 10th for the win. Adam Duvall hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs for Miami, which dropped two of three in the series. RAYS 5, BLUE JAYS 1 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Austin Meadows had three hits, including two RBI doubles, and the Rays ended their 10-game road losing streak. Wander Franco hit his second homer for Tampa Bay, which had dropped five in a row overall. Yandy Díaz had two hits and scored twice. Ryan Yarbrough (5-3) pitched five innings of four-hit ball for the win. Randal Grichuk hit his 15th homer for Toronto in the second. Robbie Ray (6-4) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. DODGERS 5, NATIONALS 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — Albert Pujols hit a go-ahead single as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, and the Dodgers completed a seven-game season sweep of the Nationals. Los Angeles has won a season-high nine straight games since getting no-hit on June 24 by the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers improved to a season-best 22 games over .500 at 53-31 following a sweep of the four-game series. Beat-up Washington has lost four in a row. Washington's Joe Ross (5-8) allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings with no walks and 11 strikeouts, his most since 2017. David Price (4-0), the fifth of eight Dodgers pitchers, tossed two scoreless innings on what manager Dave Roberts planned as a bullpen day. PADRES 11, PHILLIES 1 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Manny Machado drove in five runs with a pair of homers, leading San Diego to the victory. The Padres stopped a three-game losing streak with their 50th win of the season. Padres left-hander Blake Snell tossed four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and four walks in his first start since June 22. Snell had been on the injury list after feeling the effects of food poisoning. Austin Adams (3-2) tossed a scoreless fifth to earn the win, and the Padres used four more relievers over the last four innings. J.T. Realmuto homered for Philadelphia. Vince Velasquez (3-3) surrendered five runs and nine hits in six innings. REDS 3, CUBS 2 CINCINNATI (AP) — Amir Garrett escaped a jam in the ninth inning, and the Reds handed the Cubs their ninth straight loss. Chicago scored a total of five runs in the weekend series. It went 1-9 on a 10-game trip. The Cubs put runners on first and second with one out in the ninth, but Garrett got Willson Contreras to bounce into a 5-4-3 double play for his sixth save. Tucker Barnhart had two hits and drove in a run, helping Cincinnati to its fourth straight victory. Art Warren (2-0) got one out for the win. Chicago went 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position and left eight runners on base. Dan Winkler (1-1) got the loss. ASTROS 4, INDIANS 3, 10 INNINGS CLEVELAND (AP) — Yuli Gurriel scored on a two-out error by pitcher Emmanuel Clase in the 10th inning, helping Houston complete a four-game series sweep. Gurriel advanced to third on a fielder’s choice by Jason Castro, then came around when the Indians failed to complete a double play on the throw back to first by Amed Rosario. The shortstop forced out Carlos Correa at second base, but Clase (3-3) mishandled his return throw, allowing Gurriel to scamper home. Gurriel struck out leading off the inning, but reached on Clase’s wild pitch. Blake Taylor (1-2) got the win, and Brooks Raley earned his second save with a scoreless 10th. Indians third baseman José Ramírez missed his third game in a row with a sore left elbow. TIGERS 6, WHITE SOX 5 DETROIT (AP) — Jeimer Candelario had three hits, Akil Baddoo drove in two runs and the Tigers held on for the victory. Detroit won the final two games of the series for its first series win over the White Sox since Sept. 3-5, 2018. Tigers reliever Gregory Soto was forced to change his glove before pitching the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead. Billy Hamilton and Tim Anderson singled, and José Abreu hit his 14th homer with one out. José Cisnero needed one pitch for his fourth save in five chances, retiring Andrew Vaughn on a lineout to right. Tyler Alexander (1-1) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Chicago's Lucas Giolito (6-6) dropped to 1-2 in his last six starts. He allowed six runs and a season-high 10 hits in five innings. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
