Orioles earn walk-off win

BALTIMORE — Jonathan Schoop hit a game-winning solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles rallied past the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Friday night.

Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who trailed 2-1 in the eighth before coming back to earn their third win in the last 11 games.

Schoop drove a 2-2 pitch from Tanner Roark (4-4) into the seats in left field. Schoop has two homers in five games since being activated from the 60-day disabled list on Sunday.

Yankees 5, Red Sox 1

BOSTON — Alex Rodriguez hit his 17th home run in the first inning, Michael Pineda had another impressive start and the Yankees took advantage of Clay Buchholz’s early exit and Boston’s shoddy defense to snap the Red Sox’s five-game winning streak.

Buchholz (7-7), who had won his previous four starts to spur Boston’s recent turnaround, left with elbow tightness with one out in the third. The Yankees scored three unearned runs after his departure thanks to infield errors by Mike Napoli and Brock Holt.

Pineda (9-5) gave up only Mookie Betts’ solo home run over 6 2/3 innings in his second start at Fenway Park since he was ejected early last year for having pine tar on his neck.

Mets 4, Diamondbacks 2

NEW YORK — Noah Syndergaard struck out a career-high 13 in eight overpowering innings, and the Mets got consecutive homers from slumping sluggers Lucas Duda and Michael Cuddyer to beat the Diamondbacks.

Syndergaard (4-4) gave up a sacrifice fly in the first to All-Star bopper Paul Goldschmidt and then dominated the Diamondbacks, allowing only one run for the third consecutive start.

Syndergaard yielded four hits and walked two, reaching double digits in strikeouts for the third time in 11 major league games.

Indians 5, Athletics 1

CLEVELAND — Danny Salazar scattered five hits while allowing an unearned run in 8 2/3 innings and the Indians used a four-run sixth inning to beat the Athletics.

Salazar (8-4), who came within one out of his second career complete game, struck out eight.

Kendall Graveman (6-5) allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings for his first loss since June 13.

Graveman’s 19-inning scoreless streak ended on Yan Gomes’ RBI double in the fourth that tied the score. Cleveland has won four straight and nine of 12.

The Athletics have dropped nine of 14.

Reds 1, Marlins 0

MIAMI — Mike Leake allowed three hits and struck out 10 in eight innings, and Jay Bruce homered in the second inning to help the Reds beat the Marlins.

Leake (6-5) walked one and threw 102 pitches. All-Star Aroldis Chapman gave up a single to Adeiny Hechavarria on a 103-mph fastball in the ninth but struck out the side to earn his 18th save in 19 chances.

Bruce’s 13th homer was the only run allowed by David Phelps (4-5).
