Yankees stop Blue Jays streak

Yankees' outfielder Carlos Beltran celebrates hitting a three-run home run against the Toronto Blue Jays during the eighth inning Friday in Toronto. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays 4-3 to stop their 11-game winning streak.
Toronto's run ends at 11 games

TORONTO — Carlos Beltran hit a huge home run in the eighth inning, Andrew Miller escaped a big jam in the ninth and the New York Yankees stopped Toronto’s 11-game winning streak, beating the Blue Jays 4-3 on Friday night.

Miller struck out Ben Revere and Troy Tulowitzki with runners on second and third to close out the victory. The win moved the Yankees a half-game ahead of Toronto and back into first place in the AL East.

David Price took a 3-0 lead into the eighth before New York rallied. He left after Chase Headley’s RBI double and Beltran then greeted reliever Aaron Sanchez (6-5) with a pinch-hit, three-run homer.

Ivan Nova (5-4) wound up with the win.

Padres 9, Rockies 5

DENVER — Matt Kemp hit a triple in the ninth for the first cycle in San Diego Padres history and they went on to beat Colorado.

Kemp also had a two-run homer in the first, single in the third and an RBI double in the seventh. His triple in the ninth went off the fence in center and he easily scampered into third.

The Padres retrieved the historic baseball. One streak down, one to go. They’re the only team in the majors without a no-hitter.

Dodgers 5, Reds 3

LOS ANGELES — Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to highlight a four-run fifth inning and Los Angeles beat Cincinnati.

John Lamb (1-0) gave up four consecutive two-out hits, capped by Gonzalez’s 23rd homer of the season into the lower right-field seats that put the Dodgers ahead 5-1.

Alex Wood (8-7) earned his first victory in three tries with the Dodgers.
