Corey Seager homered three times and drove in six runs, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 12-0 victory over the New York Mets Tuesday night. Seager went 4-for-5 and recorded the second three-homer game of his career. Seager hit three home runs against the Atlanta Braves on June 3, 2006. Cody Bellinger, who hit two home runs in Monday's victory over New York, and Yasmani Grandal also went deep for Los Angeles, which has won five in a row and 11 of its past 12 games. The five homers tied a season high for the Dodgers. Los Angeles' Brandon McCarthy threw six scoreless innings and limited the Mets to four hits. McCarthy (6-3) struck out four, walked one and hit a batter. Mariners 5, Tigers 4 (10 innings): Kyle Seager drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Seattle a victory over Detroit. Nelson Cruz walked against Justin Wilson (3-3) to open the inning. Pinch-runner Tyler Smith stole second base before Seager lined a double down the right-field line to score Smith and give the Mariners their third consecutive victory. Steve Cishek (1-1) pitched one scoreless inning of relief. The Tigers suffered their fourth straight loss. Red Sox 8, Royals 3: Chris Sale gave up four hits and struck out 10 in 8 1/3 innings as Boston breezed past Kansas City and into first place in the American League East. Sale (9-3) increased his major league-leading strikeout total to 146, striking out 10 or more in 10 starts. The last Red Sox player with 10 or more such starts prior to the All-Star break was Pedro Martinez with 11 in 1999. Boston banged out a dozen hits, led by Chris Young going 3-for-4 with a run-producing double and scoring a run. Xander Bogaerts and Sandy Leon each collected two hits and two RBIs. Rockies 4, Diamondbacks 3: Nolan Arenado, who hit a three-run, walk-off homer Sunday to complete a cycle and give Colorado a 7-5 victory, tripled home two runs in the eighth inning to give the Rockies a victory over Arizona. The Diamondbacks tied the game 2-2 when David Peralta hit a leadoff home run in the top of the eighth inning and Paul Goldschmidt followed with a shot into the right field stands. The homers gave Zack Greinke (8-4) his first lead, but he couldn't hold it. Greinke gave up consecutive one-out singles in the eighth to Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu, and Arenado followed with a triple off the wall in right on Greinke's 1-0 slider to give first-place Colorado its sixth straight victory. Astros 8, Athletics 4: George Springer sparked a five-run first inning with a leadoff home run, and rookie Francis Martes allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings to lift Houston over Oakland. Nationals 12, Marlins 3: Ryan Zimmerman and Stephen Drew had three RBIs apiece to lead Washington over Miami. Orioles 6, Indians 5: Manny Machado had four hits, including a pair of home runs, and Baltimore beat first-place Cleveland. Pirates 7, Brewers 3: Chad Kuhl struck out six batters and Pittsburgh erupted for six runs in the first inning before cruising past Milwaukee. Cubs 4, Padres 0: Anthony Rizzo's leadoff homer provided the only run needed while four Chicago pitchers shut out San Diego. Angels 8, Yankees 3: Cameron Maybin started a three-run seventh inning with a tiebreaking homer and had three hits as Los Angeles defeated New York. Twins 9, White Sox 7: Kennys Vargas hit a three-run homer to pick up a struggling Ervin Santana as Minnesota outlasted Chicago. Cardinals 8, Phillies 1 (11 innings): Stephen Piscotty recorded a tiebreaking two-run double in the 11th inning and Yadier Molina and Tommy Pham added two-run homers as St. Louis beat Philadelphia. Rangers 6, Blue Jays 1: Spot starter Nick Martinez threw 6 1/3 strong innings and made Texas' four runs in the first inning stand up in its victory over Toronto. Rays 6, Reds 5: Jesus Sucre belted a two-run homer and Logan Morrison provided a two-out, two-run single as Tampa Bay upended Cincinnati. Giants 6, Braves 3: Rookie Austin Slater hit a three-run homer in a five-run eighth inning and Matt Moore picked up his first road victory of the season as San Francisco snapped a seven-game losing streak. — Reuters
