Bauers' pinch-hit 2-run double helps Brewers extend winning streak to 7 with sweep of Phillies
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pinch-hitter Jake Bauers' go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh inning helped the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and extend their winning streak to seven. Bauers batted for Eric Haase in Christian Yelich's spot in the lineup after Yelich left with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch in the first inning. With the game tied at 2 after Phillies shortstop Trea Turner's fielding error allowed a run to score, Bauers doubled down the left-field line off Orion Kerkering (4-2) to put the Brewers ahead. It was Milwaukee's first series sweep in Philadelphia since 2015. Jackson Chourio had two hits an an RBI for his third straight multihit game against the Phillies. Jose Quintana pitched five innings in his return from the injured list with left shoulder impingement. He allowed two runs and four hits with four walks and struck out three. Nick Mears (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth to earn the win. Jared Koenig and Abner Uribe each threw scoreless innings before Trevor Megill pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 12 opportunities. Phillies starter Ranger Suarez exited after giving up Caleb Durbin's double to lead off the seventh. He allowed two runs — one earned — in six innings. J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber hit RBI singles in the first two innings for the Phillies, who have lost four straight. Key moment Defensive miscues fueled the Brewers' three-run seventh. Weston Wilson misplayed Durbin's liner to left field into a double. With two on and two outs, Kerkering induced a ground ball to shortstop from William Contreras. But Turner committed an error to allow Durbin to score, tying the game at 2 and extending the inning for Bauers. Key stat This marks the Brewers' second straight three-game sweep. They won three in a row at home against the Boston Red Sox before heading to Philadelphia. Before this winning streak, the Brewers hadn't swept a series of at least three games all season.

Mets get homers from Alonso, Lindor and Soto to finish 3-game sweep with 5-3 win over Rockies
NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor once again homered in a victory and Clay Holmes threw a career-high seven innings Sunday as the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 5-3 win. Pete Alonso hit a three-run shot and Juan Soto also went deep as the Mets won for the seventh time in eight games to finish a 7-2 homestand. They regained sole possession of first place in the NL East, moving a game ahead of Philadelphia. The Rockies lost their eighth straight and fell to 9-50, the worst record through 59 games of any major league team in the modern era (since 1901). They have been swept 10 times in 20 series — tied for the most sweeps through 20 series with the 1962 Mets, the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers and the 1994 Oakland Athletics. Alonso homered in the fourth before Lindor snapped a 3-all tie an inning later. The Mets have won the last 26 games in which Lindor has homered, the second-longest streak in big league history behind the 29-game run authored by Carl Furillo and the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1951-53. Soto connected in the eighth to make it 5-3. Holmes (5-3) gave up three hits — including Orlando Arcia's first-inning solo homer and Tyler Freeman's two-run shot in the fifth. He struck out three and walked none. The right-hander, who entered this season with 300 consecutive relief appearances dating to 2019, has lasted at least six innings in six of his last eight starts. Reed Garrett and Edwin Díaz tossed a scoreless inning apiece, with Díaz earning his 13th save. Rockies rookie Carson Palmquist (0-3) gave up four runs in 4 2/3 innings but struck out eight — two more than he'd fanned in his first three starts combined. Key moment Lindor's homer came just after Freeman's tying shot in the fifth. Key stat The Rockies haven't held a lead at the end of consecutive innings since they led for the final four innings of their most recent win, a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on May 23.
