WASHINGTON (AP) — Jesse Winker hit his second solo homer of the day and the Seattle Mariners won their 10th straight game, edging the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Wednesday night to sweep a doubleheader.

The Mariners have 10 consecutive wins for the first time since April 8-17, 2002. Their only longer winning streak was a 15-game run from May 23-June 8, 2001 — the last year they made the playoffs. Seattle is second in the AL West, well behind Houston but squarely in wild-card contention.

The Mariners won the opener 6-4, getting a three-run homer from Eugenio Suarez and six solid innings from Chris Flexen (6-8), who won his fourth straight start.

Winker also homered in the afternoon game, his first after serving a six-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Los Angeles Angels on June 26.

Tommy Milone (1-1) pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to win the nightcap.

All-Star Juan Soto extended his hitting streak to 15 games when he hit his second ninth-inning homer of the day, a solo blast into the upper deck in right off Paul Sewald, who escaped further trouble for his second save of the day and 12th this year.

The Nationals have lost six straight and 12 of 13 and fell to 30-60, the worst record in the majors.

Washington starter Erick Fedde (5-7) allowed two runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings in the nightcap. Josiah Gray (7-6) allowed five runs in five innings in the opener.

BLUE JAYS 8, PHILLIES 2

TORONTO (AP) — Teoscar Hernandez hit a pair of two-run home runs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also connected and Toronto won its first game after firing manager Charlie Montoyo.

Toronto swept a two-game series against Philadelphia, taking the finale under the charge of interim manager John Schneider, who will skipper the team the rest of the season.

Ross Stripling (5-3) allowed two runs in seven innings to halt a three-start winless streak as the Blue Jays won back-to-back games for the first time since June 30 and July 1 against Tampa Bay. Toronto went 1-9 in between.

Zack Wheeler (8-5) allowed six runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings to lose for the first time since June 22 at Texas.

METS 7, BRAVES 3

ATLANTA (AP) — Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer, Chris Bassitt threw six strong innings and New York beat Atlanta.

The NL East-leading Mets won two of three in the series and lead the second-place Braves by 2 1/2 games.

Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha also homered for the Mets.

Eddie Rosario had three hits, including one of Atlanta’s three homers.

Bassitt (7-6) allowed one run on five hits. Atlanta’s Charlie Morton (5-4) gave up five runs on six hits, including three homers, and three walks in five-plus innings.

YANKEES 7, REDS 6 (10 INNINGS)

NEW YORK (AP) — DJ LeMahieu capped his 34th birthday by sliding across the plate on Alexis Diaz’s second straight wild pitch in the 10th inning, and New York rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Cincinnati and stop a three-game skid.

Michael King (6-1), the seventh Yankees pitcher, escaped first-and-third, no-outs trouble in the 10th when Matt Reynolds struck out and Kyle Farmer grounded into a 5-4-3 double play.

The Reds allowed five unearned runs. Diaz (2-1) threw consecutive wild pitches to Giancarlo Stanton.

New York’s Luis Severino allowed three consecutive homers in a span of four pitches in the second inning as Cincinnati built a 4-0 lead, then left with right shoulder tightness.

GIANTS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brandon Crawford hit a game-ending RBI single to complete San Francisco’s rally from an early 3-0 deficit.

Wilmer Flores tied the game in the eighth with a pinch-hit homer. Brandon Belt started the rally with a solo homer in the seventh as the Giants took two of three from Arizona and won their first series since June 17-19 at Pittsburgh.

Ketel Marte homered for the Diamondbacks, who have lost 17 of their last 19 games at Oracle Park.

Belt hit a one-out, bases-loaded line drive to right field off D-backs closer Mark Melancon (3-8). Camilo Doval (3-4) struck out two in a scoreless ninth for the Giants.

RAYS 4, RED SOX 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Shane McClanahan earned his 10th win and regained the major league lead in strikeouts during his final outing before the All-Star Game as Tampa Bay beat Boston.

Taylor Walls homered for the Rays, who have won five straight against the rival Red Sox.

McClanahan (10-3) struck out six and allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings of three-hit ball. He increased his season total to 147 strikeouts and lowered his AL-best ERA to 1.71.

Boston’s Josh Winckowski (3-4) gave up three runs and four hits in six innings.

WHITE SOX 2, GUARDIANS 1

CLEVELAND (AP) — Lucas Giolito pitched one-run ball into the seventh inning and Chicago beat Cleveland.

Guardians starter Aaron Civale exited after one inning because of a sore right wrist. Jose Abreu and Andrew Vaughn drove in runs in the sixth inning against Sam Hentges (2-2).

Liam Hendriks pitched the ninth and earned his 18th save in 21 chances.

RANGERS 5, ATHLETICS 2

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jon Gray allowed only a fourth-inning infield single in seven shutout innings and Texas beat Oakland.

Gray (6-4) struck out nine and walked none, winning for the fifth time in his last six starts.

Leody Taveras and Brad Miller hit two-run singles during a five-run first inning against Paul Blackburn (6-5). Corey Seager also had an RBI single for the Rangers but failed to homer, ending his streak of five consecutive games with a longball.

Skye Bolt and Ramon Laureano homered in the ninth for the Athletics. Garrett Richards was called upon for a one-out save, his first of the season.

MARLINS 5, PIRATES 4 (10 INNINGS)

MIAMI (AP) — Jesus Aguilar hit a tying single and scored the winning run on a wild pitch as Miami rallied for three runs in the 10th inning to beat Pittsburgh.

Jon Berti hit an RBI single that trimmed Miami’s deficit to 4-3. Aguilar followed with a one-out RBI single to center field against All-Star closer David Bednar (3-3).

With the bases loaded and two out, Bednar’s first pitch to Jesus Sanchez got past catcher Jason Delay, scoring Aguilar.

Zach Pop (1-0) allowed Daniel Vogelbach’s RBI groundout and Ke’Bryan Hayes’ run-scoring single that put the Pirates ahead 4-2 in the top of the 10th.
