Gavin Williams overcomes frightful first, nearly pitches Guardians' first no-hitter in 44 years
Williams (7-4) walked three and struck out six, including Francisco Lindor to lead off the ninth. But Soto homered just beyond the leaping grasp of center fielder Angel Martinez two pitches later.
The Guardians have not thrown a no-hitter since Len Barker twirled a perfect game on May 15, 1981. Their no-hitter drought is the longest in the majors.
CUBS 6, REDS 1
CHICAGO (AP) — Seiya Suzuki homered, Cade Horton threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and Chicago prevented a sweep from Cincinnati.
The sixth-inning solo shot was Suzuki's 27th home run of the season, moving him into a tie with teammate Pete Crow-Armstrong for seventh in the majors and fourth in the National League. The outfielder finished 2-for-2 on the day with a pair of RBIs and a walk, also scoring Nico Hoerner on a third-inning sacrifice fly.
Horton (6-2, 3.18 ERA) earned the win after giving up only two hits and striking out six. The 23-year-old Horton has not allowed a run in his last 23 1/3 innings, dating back to July 9 against Minnesota.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dominic Smith hit a go-ahead double in the ninth inning, and San Francisco rallied for a win over Pittsburgh.
Jung Hoo Lee hit a one-out double down the right-field line off Dennis Santana (3-4). Smith, pinch hitting for Christian Koss, brought Lee in with another double to right to make it 3-2 and Patrick Bailey extended the lead with an RBI single.
Giants reliever Ryan Walker (4-4) struck out the side in the eighth, including Oneil Cruz with two on and two outs. Randy Rodríguez pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.
ORIOLES 5, PHILLIES 1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Coby Mayo hit a three-run homer, Jeremiah Jackson doubled in a run for his first extra-base hit and RBI in the majors as Baltimore beat Philadelphia.
After the Phillies scored 18 runs in winning the first two games of the series, Baltimore left-hander Trevor Rogers (5-2) put a stop to it, allowing one run on eight hits with six strikeouts over six innings.
Dietrich Enns pitched two scoreless innings and fellow lefty reliever Keegan Akin closed it out in the ninth for Baltimore.
TWINS 9, TIGERS 4
DETROIT (AP) — Luke Keaschall drove in three runs for the second straight game as Minnesota beat Detroit.
Keaschell is hitting .393 in his nine-game major league career, which was interrupted in April by a broken arm. He returned on Tuesday and has four hits and six RBIs in his first two games back.
Thomas Hatch (1-0) picked up the win with 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. He was claimed off waivers on Monday from the Kansas City Royals.
YANKEES 3, RANGERS 2
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt put the Yankees ahead with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning and New York ended its five-game losing streak with a victory over Texas.
Goldschmidt went deep off lefty reliever Robert Garcia (1-7), who has now given up homers in his last three appearances.
The Yankees (61-54) avoided being swept in Texas for the first time since 2010, and kept the Rangers from moving past them for the American League's third and final wild-card spot.
Mark Leiter Jr. (5-6) got the win after coming on with a runner on in the sixth and getting a flyout before a double-play grounder to end the inning. That came after his cousin, Rangers rookie starter Jack Leiter, struck out three and walked four in 3 1/3 innings while allowing two runs (one earned).
David Bednar struck out five while throwing 42 pitches over the final 1 2/3 innings for his 18th save.
BLUE JAYS 20, ROCKIES 1
DENVER (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had four hits, including a home run, and Davis Schneider went deep twice as Toronto capped their Coors Field onslaught with a victory over Colorado.
The first-place Blue Jays finished with five homers and 24 hits to set a major league record with 63 hits in a three-game series. They established a franchise mark with 45 runs in the three-game set.
Bo Bichette and Ernie Clement also homered for the AL East leaders, who outscored the Rockies 45-6 in the series and are 26-11 since June 25. Toronto hit 13 home runs in the series.
Ty France had four doubles and Clement added four hits. Bichette and Schneider had four RBIs apiece.
Guerrero extended his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest current streak in the American League.
CARDINALS 5, DODGERS 3
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani homered for his 1,000th career hit and struck out a season-high eight in four innings on the mound, but St. Louis rallied late to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Jordan Walker had three hits for the Cardinals, including an RBI single that tied the score with two outs in the eighth. St. Louis took a 4-3 lead on the same play when rookie third baseman Alex Freeland made a costly throwing error.
Lars Nootbaar added a run-scoring double off reliever Brock Stewart in the ninth.
RAYS 5, ANGELS 4
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Junior Caminero hit his 29th and 30th homers, Christopher Morel had a go-ahead shot and six Tampa Bay pitchers combined to strike out 16 in the Rays' victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Caminero hit a career-long 447-foot shot with a man on in the first, and had a solo homer in the third. Morel was 0 for 6 with six strikeouts in the series before hitting his solo homer in the seventh.
Nick Fortes also homered, his first hit in five games with the Rays since being acquired from Miami.
Starter Shane Baz struck out nine in four innings to help Tampa Bay win for the fourth time in 14 games. Garrett Cleavinger (1-4) was the winner, and Pete Fairbanks got his 19th save.
Ryan Zeferjahn (6-4) took the loss.
MARLINS 6, ASTROS 4
MIAMI (AP) — Xavier Edwards went 4 for 5 with a double, Graham Pauley and Heriberto Hernández each hit a solo homer and Miami beat Houston to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Astros.
Janson Junk (6-2) allowed three runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in five innings. The Marlins are 8-2 in Junk's 10 starts since joining the rotation June 20.

Indianapolis Colts' rookie TE Tyler Warren shines in preseason debut
Indianapolis Colts' rookie tight end Tyler Warren certainly looked the part during the team's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Throughout training camp, Warren has been a go-to presence in the passing game for the Colts, particularly over the middle of the field, where he's a difficult matchup and his reliable hands have been on display. All of that, along with Warren's physicality, was on display this past Thursday. Warren caught all three of his passes that came his way, totaling 40 yards with 14 yards coming after the catch. "I thought it was good to be out there, do it live in a real NFL game setting," Warren said via "I thought we were flowing pretty well on offense, and I thought it was a good start to learn and grow from." According to PFF's tracking data, two of Warren's targets came over the middle of the field, and the third was on an intermediate route down the left side. A screen pass to Warren was also negated early on due to a penalty on the offensive line. Warren's impact in the passing game will garner the attention, but he also brings versatility to the Colts' offense, able to line up across the formation, and he's a very capable run-blocker as well. This do-it-all presence brings some unpredictability to Shane Steichen's offense with all the different roles Warren can fill. "He's, pretty much from Day 1, showed up and made a lot of plays for us," Daniel Jones said of Warren. "Just got a great feel for the game, for space, for getting open and tonight's the first night we saw him in pads and he has a tendency to fall forward and gain a few more yards than you think. He's a good football player. I know he's working hard to improve but he's been great since he's been here."

Lions' Morice Norris shares good news after he was taken off field in ambulance
DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Lions safety Morice Norris shared a social post Saturday, saying he's OK and thanking people for their support after he was taken off the field in an ambulance late in a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. Norris reposted a screenshot about being grateful along with a Bible verse, adding a message of his own. 'Amen Amen,' he posted on his Instagram story. 'I'm all good man don't stress," he said, adding he appreciates all of the check-ins and support. Norris was in stable condition late Friday night after he was attended to for about 20 minutes by medical personnel and taken to an Atlanta hospital. The 24-year-old Norris was hurt with 14:50 left in the preseason game after hitting Falcons running back Nathan Carter. He hit Carter with his facemask facing the running back's midsection and his head snapped back after assisting on the tackle. When play resumed, Atlanta quarterback Emory Jones snapped the ball as players from both teams stood at the line of scrimmage as the clock continued to run. 'Usually you see a couple trainers out there,' Lions quarterback Kyle Allen said. 'It's never good when they bring out the stretchers." With 6:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, an official announced the game had been suspended 'per New York' with the Lions leading the Falcons 17-10. Detroit coach Dan Campbell and Atlanta coach Raheem Morris made the decision to not finish the game. 'Raheem Morris is a class act,' Campbell said. 'He's the ultimate class act. We agreed it just didn't feel right to finish that game.' Norris, a former Fresno State standout, played in eight games last season after earning a spot on the team as an undrafted rookie. NFL preseason games ended early in consecutive weeks two years ago. New England's game at Green Bay in Week 2 of the 2023 preseason was called off when Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden was carted off in the fourth quarter. Bolden appeared to collide with teammate Calvin Munson while attempting to make a hit on a pass completion to Malik Heath of the Packers. Bolden was taken to a hospital and released the next day. A week later, a game between Miami and Jacksonville was not completed after Dolphins receiver Daewood Davis was carted off in the fourth quarter. Davis was hurt when he ran a slant route and was attempting to catch a pass when he was hit by Jaguars linebacker Dequan Jackson. Davis was released from the hospital a day later. The two frightening injuries happened some eight months after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated on the field during a regular-season game at Cincinnati in January 2023. Hamlin has enjoyed a remarkable recovery and resumed football the following season and spent last year as a Bills starter. 'You sign up for football and you understand the risk, you understand the injury risk,' Allen said. 'You never think something like that is going to happen. At the end of the day we're all out here as football players. We may be on 32 different teams but we've all played football our whole lives and had our own injuries and been through it.' ___
