Porcello dazzles in Red Sox win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 08 - 2016

David Ortiz and Jackie Bradley Jr. ambushed rookie Michael Fulmer with a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning and Rick Porcello tamed his former team on four hits over seven innings to make his 17th win a 10-2 Boston victory over Detroit Friday.
Porcello (17-3) became the second pitcher in the majors with 17 wins. He struck out eight and walked two. Heath Hembree pitched the eighth and Fernando Abad the ninth for Boston.
Indians 3, Blue Jays 2: Tyler Naquin followed Jose Ramirez's game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off inside-the-park homer to lift the Cleveland Indians to a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Trailing 2-1, Cleveland tied it when Ramirez hit an 0-2 pitch from Toronto closer Roberto Osuna (2-2) over the right field wall.
Naquin then hit a 1-2 pitch off the top of the right field wall. The ball ricocheted toward center fielder Melvin Upton Jr., who fell down as he attempted to throw the ball into the infield. Naquin dove through the air on a headfirst slide across home plate to beat the relay.
Astros 15, Orioles 8: Jose Altuve homered and drove in five runs, sparking an 18-hit Houston attack as the Astros overcame five Baltimore home runs.
Altuve finished 3-for-6 with a two-run homer, a two-run double plus an RBI single for the Astros (62-60).
George Springer (4-for-5, two RBIs), Alex Bregman (3-for-5, two RBIs), Evan Gattis (3-for-4, one RBI) and Teoscar Hernandez (3-for-4, three RBIs) led the Houston offense.
Rangers 6, Rays 2: Cole Hamels took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Adrian Beltre went 4-for-5 with two home runs as Texas cruised to a win over Tampa Bay.
Hamels (13-4) did not give up a hit until Corey Dickerson's single with two outs in the sixth and had a shutout into the eighth before giving up a home run to Steven Souza.
Beltre had his 30th career multi-homer game, giving him 21 home runs for the season, with solo shots in the sixth and seventh.
Athletics 9, White Sox 0: Right-hander Kendall Graveman pitched a two-hitter for his first career shutout, Khris Davis homered and doubled among his three hits, and Oakland rolled to a victory over Chicago.
Davis went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and four runs scored.
Stephen Vogt and Yonder Alonso added home runs for the A's, who snapped a five-game losing skid.
A pair of singles by Adam Eaton and Jose Abreu marked the only offense for the White Sox.
Reds 9, Dodgers 2: Relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen and Joey Votto hit three-run homers and Tim Adleman pitched five shutout innings as Cincinnati defeated Los Angeles.
Dodgers right-hander Bud Norris (6-10), who was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday's game, allowed six runs and seven hits 3-2/3 innings.
Elsewhere it was: Marlins 6, Pirates 5; Cardinals 4, Phillies 3 (11 innings); Nationals 7, Braves 6; Giants 8, Mets 1; Yankees 7, Angels 0; Mariners 7, Brewers 6; Padres 7, Diamondbacks 4 (10 innings); Rockies 7, Cubs 6 (11 innings); Royals 5, Twins 4 (11 innings).
