DETROIT — Pinch-hitter Franklin Gutierrez hit a grand slam to cap a five-run eighth as the Seattle Mariners out-slugged the Detroit Tigers to win 11-9 in an American League game Tuesday. Gutierrez's opposite-field shot off reliever Neftali Feliz (1-3) was the second grand slam of his career. His other grand slam came on May 27, 2008, against the Chicago White Sox. Designated hitter Nelson Cruz homered and second baseman Robinson Cano had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run for the Mariners. Right fielder J.D. Martinez and left fielder Yoenis Cespedes hit two-run home runs for the Tigers. Yankees 3, Orioles 2: Second baseman Brendan Ryan hit a tie-breaking double with two out in the bottom of the sixth inning as the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles. Ryan snapped a 2-2 deadlock by hitting a fastball from Baltimore left-hander Chen Wei-Yin down the left-field line allowing shortstop Didi Gregorius to score. Astros 8, Red Sox 3: Rookie right-hander Vince Velasquez earned his first career victory as the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3. Velasquez (1-1) worked six innings, allowing seven hits and three runs while recording seven strikeouts. The Astros erased a 3-1 deficit with a four-run fifth inning. Other results: Blue Jays 7, A's 1; Angels 7, Twins 0. National League Mets 7, Nationals 2: Pinch hitter Eric Campbell hit a two-run single in the seventh inning to give New York the lead before the Mets added four runs in the ninth on singles by Curtis Granderson, Ruben Tejada and Daniel Murphy to beat the Washington Nationals 7-2. Wilmer Flores, who had two hits and two RBIs, drove in the fourth run of the inning on a ground out. Braves 4, Dodgers 3: First baseman Chris Johnson had three hits and two RBIS while starter Alex Wood overcame two early Dodgers homers as the Braves beat the Dodgers. Wood (7-6) allowed six hits and three runs over 6-2/3 innings. Cubs 5, Reds 4 (13 innings): Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run, game-tying home run in the ninth inning and a go-ahead solo shot in the 13th to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Schwarber finished 4-for-7 with a double, two homers and four RBIs. Other results: Marlins 3, Diamondbacks 0; Giants 9, Padres 3. Inter-League Rays 1, Phillies 0: Nathan Karns combined with five relievers on a four-hitter and hit his first major league homer as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0. Karns surrendered three hits in five shutout innings while striking out four and walking two. He also hit a batter while improving to 5-5. Brewers 8, Indians 1: Matt Garza threw six shutout innings in his first start since returning from the disabled list while shortstop Jean Segura hit his fourth home run of the season as the Brewers completed an 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Garza (5-10) had been sidelined since July 2 with a fatigued right shoulder. He struck out four, gave up six hits and walked two, but was helped in large part by his defense, which turned three double plays for him and four for the game. Rangers 9, Rockies 0: Left-hander Matt Harrison gave the Texas Rangers a huge boost by pitching six scoreless innings in a 9-0 romp over the Colorado Rockies. The victory was Harrison's first in the big leagues since May 8, 2014. He went on the disabled list six days later with a back condition that led to season-ending spinal fusion surgery. He won 14 games for the Rangers in 2011 and 18 the following year. But since the beginning of 2013, Harrison has undergone four surgeries, three on his back. Right fielder Choo Shin-Soo hit for the cycle with a triple in the ninth and drove in three runs to support Harrison. Other results: Royals 3, Pirates 1; Cardinals 8, White Sox 5. — Agencies
