Cease, Padres' bullpen too much for Boston as the Padres beat the Red Sox 6-2

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Dylan Cease was impressive for six innings before San Diego's All-Star-laden bullpen got into and out of trouble in the seventh and the Padres beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Sunday to take two of three. The Padres have won 11 of 14 games as they continue to chase the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Cease (5-10) cruised into the seventh with a shutout on just three singles and a walk before walking Jarren Duran and allowing a single to Trevor Story. All-Star Jason Adam came on and hit Masataka Yoshida with his first pitch to load the bases and then two runs scored when shortstop Xander Bogaerts committed a fielder error on a potential double-play grounder by Romy Gonzalez. Wilyer Abreu singled to load the bases again before Adam struck out Ceddanne Rafaela and pinch-hitter Abraham Toro. All-Star Adrian Morejon came on and struck out rookie Roman Anthony to end the inning. Cease allowed four runs, two earned, on four hits while striking out seven and walking two. San Diego scored its first five runs with two outs, with starter Brayan Bello (8-6) on the hook for all five. Luis Arraez hit a two-run double in the third, Fernando Tatis Jr. added an RBI single in the fifth before being thrown out trying to stretch it into a double and Bogaerts — who played for Boston from 2013-2022 — singled in the sixth before stealing second base. Bello then walked the bases loaded and made way for Chris Murphy, who walked Jake Cronenworth to give San Diego a 5-0 lead. Key moment When Morejon struck out Anthony.

Kerry Carpenter homers and drives in 3 to lead Tigers over Angels 9-5

DETROIT (AP) — Kerry Carpenter homered and drove in three runs to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Angels 9-5 on Sunday. Carpenter doubled and scored in the first, hit a sacrifice fly in the second and added a three-run homer in the fourth. Casey Mize (11-4) got the win, allowing two runs on three hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out five. Jack Kochanowicz (3-10) took the loss. He gave up seven runs on 10 hits in three-plus innings. The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first, stringing together four straight two-out hits that included RBI singles by Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry. Carpenter's sacrifice fly made it 3-0 in the second, and the Tigers added four more in the fourth. Javier Baez reached on an error, took third on a base hit by Cole Keith and scored on Gleyber Torres' single. Carpenter followed with his 21st homer, giving Detroit a 7-0 lead. Nolan Schanuel hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Logan O'Hoppe made it 7-3 with an RBI single in the sixth. Greene hit a two-run homer in the sixth while Luis Rengifo hit a two-run shot in the eighth. Key moment Angels CF Bryce Teodosio, who missed Saturday's game after hitting his head on the fence on Friday, ran into LF Taylor Ward and RF Jo Adell on eighth-inning fly balls. Luckily, no one was injured on either play. Key stat Carpenter has a .600 slugging percentage against right-handed pitchers since the start of 2024, the third highest in the majors. Shohei Ohtani (.688) and Aaron Judge (.682) are the leaders among players with at least 500 plate appearances against righties.
