Walker and Diaz hit HRs, Sánchez goes 5 for 5 as Astros beat Orioles 7-2 to end 4-game skid
BALTIMORE (AP) — Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz homered, Jesús Sánchez ended a lengthy slump with five hits and the Houston Astros beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 Thursday night to snap a four-game losing streak. The Astros scored early and often against Baltimore rookie Brandon Young, who six days earlier in Houston had a perfect game ruined with two outs in the eighth inning. In the rematch, the AL West leaders built a 7-1 lead in the third and coasted. Walker hit a two-run homer in the first, Carlos Correa singled in two runs in the second and Diaz connected in the third with a runner on after Sánchez delivered an RBI single. Sánchez broke an 0-for-29 skid with a first-inning single and finished 5 for 5, his most productive day with Houston since being acquired from Miami in a July 31 trade. The five hits tied a career high. Young (1-7) gave up seven runs and nine hits before leaving with one out in the sixth after hurting his left hamstring while covering first base on a grounder. Jason Alexander (4-1) allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings for Houston. Since being claimed off waivers from the Athletics on May 18, the right-hander is 4-1 with a save in eight appearances. Dylan Beavers hit his first major league homer for Baltimore in the second inning and added a run-scoring groundout in the sixth. The Orioles had won three straight and six of seven. Key moment Walker's 17th home run with two outs in the first got the Astros rolling against Young, who yielded only one hit in Houston on Aug. 15. Key stat Not only did Sánchez end his slump, but Houston C Victor Caratini broke an 0-for-17 run with a second-inning single. Up next Astros RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (2-4, 6.90 ERA) faces Baltimore lefty Cade Povich (2-6, 4.98) on Friday. ___ AP MLB:

Behind Riley Adams and a lockdown bullpen, Nats take series from Mets
The Washington Nationals were searching for the big hit. They had trailed the New York Mets since the first batter of the game but had chipped away at the deficit and had the bases loaded for the second time in the fifth inning. They just needed the dam to break. Riley Adams delivered — nothing fancy, just a line drive back up the middle to score two runs. Washington had a lead it would never relinquish Thursday afternoon and rolled to a 9-3 win, taking two of three in the series against reeling New York (67-60), a club still clinging to the National League's final wild card spot. 'Just trying to keep it short and sweet and try to hunt the pitch in the zone you want,' Adams said. 'Thankfully, in that situation, he threw that sinker down and in and I was able to get some good wood on it.' The Nationals (52-75) were just getting started after Adams's single. Jacob Young added an RBI single in the sixth. In the eighth, Adams led off with a single, and Brady House drove him in. James Wood then capped off the afternoon with a mammoth three-run homer that completed a 4-3 homestand. 'It's always great to get the insurance runs, especially late in the game, especially in a close game, too,' House said. The Washington bullpen delivered 4⅔ scoreless innings after MacKenzie Gore failed to get out of the fifth. Over the final two games of the series, Nationals relievers combined for 8⅓ innings without yielding a run. 'Really good day for them,' Gore said of the bullpen. 'Great win for us. Obviously I wasn't great today, but they only scored three and gave us a chance.' Gore served up a leadoff home run to Francisco Lindor in the first but responded by striking out the next three hitters with curveballs. The 26-year-old lefty fought his command all afternoon, walking four over 4⅓ innings. In the third, Starling Marte doubled the Mets' lead with a solo shot on a hanging curveball. Hayden Senger added a sacrifice fly in the following frame. But Gore, whose ERA rose to 4.11, kept Washington in the game. And the Nationals clawed back. They loaded the bases in the fourth against Mets starter Sean Manaea but were held to just one run on a Dylan Crews groundout. In the fifth, Paul DeJong hit a sacrifice fly before Andrés Chaparro walked to load the bases. The Mets brought in righty Trevor Rogers, and Adams, who finished 2 for 3 with two RBI, made them pay. For Adams, a 29-year-old in his fifth season, a lost season for Washington presents an opportunity with starter Keibert Ruiz sidelined since July 5 with a concussion. Adams and Drew Millas, sharing duties behind the plate with Ruiz out, have shown promise over the past few seasons but haven't received much playing time. Adams already has surpassed his career high in games played (58). Millas, in his second season, is four games away from his (20). Adams, hitting .206 on the season, is batting .326 with an .850 OPS in August. 'It's hard when you're on the bench and you play every four days or five,' interim manager Miguel Cairo said. 'Right now, we have a good mix with Millas and himself, and he's just getting good at-bats. That's what we're looking for. That's what we're trying to preach.' Adams has always been an intriguing power threat — his average bat speed is fifth in the majors among hitters with at least 200 at-bats. But he hasn't been able to unlock his potential. In 2023, Adams hit .273 with a .807 OPS in a 44-game sample size before he broke a hamate and missed the remainder of the season. He seemed to establish himself as the backup catcher. But Adams struggled at the plate and in the field last season and still grades poorly at framing and blocking pitches behind the plate. The life of a backup catcher can be difficult. Both he and Ruiz were acquired at the 2021 deadline. But Adams's development has taken a back seat while the Nationals prioritized Ruiz, who signed an eight-year, $50 million deal in 2023 after coming over from the Dodgers in the blockbuster deal that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to Los Angeles. Ruiz has played 443 games spanning from his first full season in 2022 until he went on the injured list in July. That's the eighth most by a catcher in baseball. Adams has worked to stay ready when the team needs him. That's easier said than done, as it means playing once or twice a week, but now that he is getting more opportunities, he's making the most of them. 'I don't think it's any secret the more you're out there, the easier it is for myself to feel like I'm getting my timing down,' Adams said. 'I'm just trying to take that day by day and just get a little more comfortable every time.'
