MIAMI: Mike Trout sprained his left thumb stealing second base Sunday as the Los Angeles Angels took a thumping without him, losing 9-2 to the Miami Marlins.
Trout yelled in pain as he rose after sliding headfirst in the fifth inning. He was examined by a trainer, stayed in the game, but was replaced in the sixth. X-rays were negative and there was no immediate timetable regarding his return. The reigning American League MVP was 0 for 2 when he departed with the Angels trailing 4-2. He finished 2 for 9 in the series to drop his average to .337.
Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton had three hits, including his 13th home run, and J.T. Riddle hit his third homer and drove in three runs. Jose Urena (3-2) won despite a career-high six walks in five innings.
White Sox 7 Tigers 3: In Chicago, Miguel Gonzalez took a perfect game into the seventh inning while Todd Frazier hit a two-run homer as the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers.
Gonzalez (4-5) allowed three runs and six hits in 7 2/3 innings while breaking a five-start losing streak. The right-hander retired his first 18 batters before Andrew Romine led off the seventh with a hard one-hop liner to shortstop Tim Anderson, who could not field the ball cleanly and was originally charged with an error. Alex Avila followed with a single, and Romine’s ball was later changed to a hit.
Melky Cabrera and Matt Davidson also homered, helping the White Sox take three of four in the series. David Robertson got two outs for his seventh save.
Detroit right-hander Jordan Zimmermann (4-4) allowed seven runs and eight hits in five innings.
Yankees 9 Athletics 5: In New York, Aaron Judge hit his first career grand slam as the New York Yankees took full advantage of Oakland’s shoddy defense.
Michael Pineda (6-2) tossed six innings of three-hit ball to win his third straight start. Aaron Hicks and Chris Carter each had an early sacrifice fly as the AL East leaders scored five unearned runs and took two of three in a well-pitched series.
Judge connected with two outs in the third for his 16th home run, tying Mike Trout of the Angels for the big league lead.
Khris Davis hit his 15th home run for the A’s, who committed two more costly errors to raise their season total to 49. The fielding failures put starter Andrew Triggs (5-4) in tough situations. He went six innings and gave up one earned run — but even that could have been prevented if not for a poor throw by the weak-armed Davis in left.
Rays 8 Twins 6, 15 innings: In Minneapolis, Evan Longoria and Logan Morrison hit back-to-back homers in the 15th inning after Steven Souza Jr. drove in the tying run with a single with two outs in the ninth as the Tampa Bay Rays outlasted the Minnesota Twins in a game that lasted 6 hours, 26 minutes.
In the longest game in Target Field history, Minnesota resorted to using Wednesday’s scheduled starter, Hector Santiago (4-4), in the 15th. He allowed the decisive home runs on consecutive pitches to the first two batters of the inning.
The Rays took the lead in the 14th on Corey Dickerson’s single off Justin Haley to make it 6-5. Pinch-hitter Robbie Grossman answered with an RBI single in the bottom half to extend the game for the Twins.
Despite allowing the run in the 14th, Alex Colome (1-2) got the win. Erasmo Ramirez, the scheduled starter Monday for the Rays, pitched a perfect 15th for his first save.
Rangers 3 Blue Jays 1: In Toronto, Joey Gallo hit his 15th home run and Andrew Cashner posted a rare road win as the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays to snap their longest losing streak of the season at five.
Toronto had won five in a row.
Cashner (2-4) gave up one run in seven innings. The right-hander had been 0-9 in 18 road starts since September 2015. Keone Kela pitched the eighth. Matt Bush gave up a pair of singles in the ninth, but held on for his sixth save.
Gallo hit an opposite field solo shot to left off Joe Biagini (1-3) in the fourth, his eighth homer in May. Gallo ranks third among AL home run leaders, one behind Mike Trout of the Angels and Aaron Judge of the Yankees.
Indians 10 Royals 1: In Cleveland, Jason Kipnis went 4 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs while Josh Tomlin pitched his first complete game in two years as the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals.
Austin Jackson drove in three runs for Cleveland and Carlos Santana had three hits and two RBIs. Michael Brantley and Jose Ramirez also had three hits apiece.
Tomlin (3-6) tossed a six-hitter for his first win since April 30. It was the right-hander’s first complete game since Sept. 15, 2015, also against Kansas City and No. 5 for his career.
Danny Duffy (4-4) allowed six runs in four-plus innings in his shortest outing of the season for the Royals, who got a homer from rookie Jorge Bonifacio in the fifth.
Mariners 5 Red Sox 0: In Boston, Christian Bergman rebounded from a miserable start with seven shutout innings as the Seattle Mariners halted Boston’s season-high six-game winning streak.
Bergman (2-2) allowed four hits, walked two and struck out two. Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Guillermo Heredia a solo shot for the Mariners, who averted a three-game sweep with just their second win in nine games. Seattle was shut out the first two games.
Rick Porcello (3-6) gave up 11 hits, but only two runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Padres 5 Nationals 3: In Washington, Ryan Schimpf hit a two-run homer as the San Diego Padres avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Washington Nationals.
The Padres had only one run and six hits with 31 strikeouts in back-to-back losses in games started by Washington’s Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg to begin the series. San Diego bounced back by matching its season high with 14 hits, with 12 coming off starter Joe Ross (2-1).
NL home run leader Bryce Harper was among four starters out of the lineup for Washington. The game was delayed 1 hour, 20 minutes by rain.
Four relievers, including Kirby Yates (1-0), pitched 4 2/3 hitless innings following starter Jhoulys Chacin’s latest bumpy road appearance. Brandon Maurer worked the ninth for his sixth save.
