Díaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets
SAN DIEGO (AP) – Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the National League East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole, followed by an epic bat flip. Key moments include Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. A key stat: It was the Padres fifth walk-off win this season. Up next, Mets Left-Handed Pitcher Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter.

Angels get to degrom and stop rangers' 6-game win streak with 6-4 victory
Kevin Newman, Taylor Ward, and Luis Rengifo homered to help the Los Angeles Angels beat Texas 6-4 on Monday night, snapping the Rangers' six-game win streak. Kenley Jansen pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 19th save. The 37-year-old Jansen hasn't allowed an earned run in 16 consecutive appearances, the longest active streak in the American League and the third-longest of his career. Connor Brogdon (2-1) replaced Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz in the fifth and gave up one run in 1 2/3 innings. Kochanowicz, called up from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier in the day, allowed two runs–none earned–in 4 2/3 innings. Newman's two-run shot opened the scoring in the third, and Zach Neto added an RBI double in the fifth. Josh Jung hit a solo homer, and Jonah Heim had an RBI single for the Rangers. Josh Smith and Corey Seager scored when Adolis García reached on an error by right fielder Gustavo Campero, who bobbled a routine flyball. Jacob deGrom (10-3), who was 6-0 in his previous 10 starts, gave up five runs and seven hits with eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner has allowed at least one home run in five consecutive games in the same season for the first time in his 12-year career. Key moment: Ward's leadoff homer in the sixth gave the Angels the lead for good, and Rengifo added a two-run drive off reliever Jacob Webb to make it 6-3. Key stat: The Angels, who beat Seattle 4-1 on Sunday, have won back-to-back games for the first time since defeating Arizona on July 11 and 12. Up next: Patrick Corbin (6-7, 3.78 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Texas on Tuesday against Yusei Kikuchi (4-7, 3.23) in the middle game of the series.

Castillo allows 1 run in 7 innings, Naylor hits 1st hr for mariners in 3-1 win over athletics
Luis Castillo allowed a run in seven innings, Josh Naylor hit his first home run for the Mariners, and Seattle beat the Athletics 3-1 on Monday night. Castillo (8-6) gave up five hits and had four strikeouts. Andrés Muñoz pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his 24th save. Naylor, Cal Raleigh, and Ben Williamson had two hits apiece. Naylor, who was acquired via trade from Arizona last Thursday, hit a solo shot off Athletics starter JP Sears (7-9) to open the scoring in the second inning. The 30-year-old first baseman singled to lead off the fourth, stole second base, and advanced to third on a throwing error before Mitch Garver's sacrifice fly gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead. Williamson doubled to leadoff the fifth and scored on a single by Raleigh to make it 3-0. Raleigh, who leads MLB with 41 home runs, has 87 RBIs this season, tied with Arizona's Eugenio Suárez for most in baseball. Luis Urías was hit by a pitch to leadoff the sixth and later scored on a groundout by Brent Rooker. The Athletics snapped a four-game win streak. Key moment: Muñoz gave up a leadoff single to Miguel Andujar before he got Carlos Cortes, the potential tying run, to ground into a 5-6-3 double play and then struck out Max Schuemann on three pitches – all fastballs – to end the game. Key stat: Naylor became the first Mariners player in history with four stolen bases in his first four games with the club.
