Adames has 3 hits and 4 RBIs, Webb pitches into 7th inning as Giants beat Athletics 7-2
Webb (8–6) gave up two runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings to move to 4–0 in five career starts against the Athletics. Randy Rodríguez got the final out in the seventh, and Tyler Rogers and Spencer Bivens each pitched a scoreless inning to close it out as the Giants won for the third time in four games. Luis Severino (2–10) walked Mike Yastrzemski to begin the game, then hit Heliot Ramos with a pitch. One out later, he hit Matt Chapman to load the bases before Yastrzemski was forced out at home on Jung Hoo Lee's grounder. Adames singled up the middle for a 2–0 lead. Nick Kurtz led off the second against Webb with a double, moved to third on Shea Langeliers' infield hit, and scored on Tyler Soderstrom's double-play grounder to get the Athletics on the scoreboard.
Chapman and Lee had two-out singles in the third, and Adames had a two-run single to make it 4–1. Ramos hit his 14th home run – a 416-foot leadoff shot to center field in the fifth – for a 5–1 lead, and Brett Wisely added a two-run double in the sixth. Kurtz added an RBI double in the sixth for the Athletics' final run. Severino allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings and is still looking for his first win at home in his first season with the Athletics. He has given up 19 earned runs in his last four starts covering 18 innings.
Key moment: Both of Adames' two-run singles came with two outs.

Christian Walker, Yainer Diaz, and Jose Altuve homer in Astros' 5-1 win to complete sweep of Dodgers
Christian Walker, Yainer Diaz, and Jose Altuve each homered, Ryan Gusto threw six strong innings, and the Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5–1 on Sunday to complete their first three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium since May 9–11, 2008. The Astros scored the go-ahead run in the sixth when No. 9 batter Zack Short capped an eight-pitch at-bat by drawing a two-out bases-loaded walk off reliever Will Klein (1–1) for a 2–1 lead. Walker and Diaz opened the eighth with homers off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott for a 4–1 lead, and Altuve added a solo shot in the ninth off Anthony Banda as the Astros improved to a major league-best 24–8 since June 1. Gusto (6–3) wasn't dominant, allowing one run and four hits and striking out one, but he held the top four Dodgers batters – Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Andy Pages – to two singles in 12 at-bats. Bennett Sousa, Bryan King, and Bryan Abreu each threw scoreless innings of relief for Houston. The Dodgers took a 1–0 lead in the second, an inning that began with Michael Conforto's walk and Hyeseong Kim's single. Conforto took third on Miguel Rojas' double play grounder and scored on Dalton Rushing's RBI double. Houston tied the score 1–1 in the third when Short singled, took third on Isaac Paredes' double, and scored on Altuve's sacrifice fly, a ball that Dodgers right fielder Esteury Ruiz caught while leaping into the screen in foul territory. Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan, recalled from Triple-A to make his second big-league start in his return from Tommy John surgery, gave up one run and five hits in five innings, striking out four and walking one. Key moment: The Dodgers threatened off reliever King in the eighth when Rushing singled and took second on Betts' two-out single, but Astros center fielder Taylor Trammell, who entered for defensive purposes in the sixth, raced in to make a sliding catch of Freeman's 104-mph liner to preserve a 4–1 lead. Key stat: Walker, who entered with a major league-best 1.203 career OPS in Dodger Stadium, is batting .349 (53 for 152) with 21 homers and 38 RBIs in 45 games in Chavez Ravine. Up next: Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (8–6, 2.51 ERA) will face Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta (9–4, 2.91 ERA) Monday in Milwaukee. Astros left-hander Colton Gordon (3–1, 4.37 ERA) will face Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee (4–9, 4.20 ERA) Monday in Houston.

An imperfect 10: 'Heart-wrenching' loss gives Guardians their first double-digit skid in 13 seasons
Stephen Vogt has tried to look at the bright side despite everything that has gone wrong for his Cleveland Guardians over the past two weeks. 'We're all wearing it. It's frustrating, but the only way to get through frustrating situations is to stay positive and keep working,' the manager said before Sunday's game against Detroit. Vogt's power of positivity is going to be tested over the next week. Sunday's 7–2 loss to the Tigers in 10 innings extended the Guardians' losing streak to 10 games, the first time since 2012 they've had a double-digit skid. It is the 11th time in franchise history they have lost 10 straight in a single season. The team record is 12, set in 1931. 'This game felt like a kick in the pants. It really did. Gut-wrenching. Heart-wrenching,' Vogt said. Cleveland is an AL-worst 9–22 since June 1, including a 4–12 mark at home. The Guardians have dropped eight of their last 10 three-game series and have been swept four times. At 40–48, the Guardians are assured of going into the All-Star break under .500 for the first time since 2015. Cleveland is 6 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot after it won the AL Central and reached the AL Championship Series last season. Repeating as division champions is out of reach with a 15 1/2-game deficit to the Tigers after being swept over the weekend. To say the Guardians are struggling at the plate would be kind. They are batting .166 during the skid, their worst 10-game stretch since posting a .163 average in 2020. Clutch hitting has been even worse. The Guardians are 5 of 52 during the losing streak with runners in scoring position, including 2 for 31 with two out. 'I feel like we're getting our runners on, just waiting for that one big hit. The pitchers are doing what they have to do. We had some good defense last couple days,' said Steven Kwan, who earned his second straight AL All-Star selection on Sunday. Cleveland went 9–15 in June and had a .206 batting average, which is tied for the third-worst batting month in franchise history with at least 13 games played. The Guardians are winless in six July games, including two shutouts. 'We haven't been great at situational hitting. We have to continue to work on that. It's frustrating,' Vogt said. Kwan and third baseman José Ramírez are the only everyday players batting above .240. Even Ramírez, the AL's starting All-Star third baseman, has cooled off, going 3 for 31 in the last 10 games. His batting average during the skid has dropped 21 points to .297. Pitching, for the most part, has been solid but has faltered at key times. On Sunday, closer Emmanuel Clase threw a wild pitch on a 99.9 mph cutter on a 1–2 count with two outs in the ninth inning, allowing pinch-runner Zach McKinstry to score the tying run. Trey Sweeney's three-run homer in the 10th inning marked the first time that someone had gone deep on Cade Smith in 81 appearances and 78 2/3 innings. 'We're all wearing it. It's frustrating, but the only way to get through frustrating situations is to stay positive and keep working,' Vogt said. After facing Detroit ace Tarik Skubal on Sunday, the Guardians face Houston's Hunter Brown on Monday. Brown leads the AL with a 1.82 ERA, and his 126 strikeouts are seventh. The Guardians have also not been immune to off-field issues. Luis Ortiz is the subject of a Major League Baseball gambling investigation involving prop bets on pitches he made and was placed on leave on July 3. Vogt has tried to remain calm while stressing that a lot of the season remains to be played. But with the trade deadline less than a month away, time may be running out. 'It doesn't do any good to loathe or talk about negatives and moan and complain,' Vogt said. 'That's not productive. We've got to keep working to get better. We're all in this together. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I mean, it's going to turn.'

Arozarena Homers As Kirby And Mariners Hand Pirates A 3rd Straight Shutout Loss, 1-0
Randy Arozarena homered, George Kirby tossed 6 1/3 crisp innings, and the Seattle Mariners shut out the punchless Pirates for the third straight game, winning 1–0 on Sunday as Pittsburgh wasted another strong start by All-Star Paul Skenes. Arozarena hit his 14th long ball of the season and sixth in seven games when he turned on a low fastball in the sixth inning from reliever Carmen Mlodzinski (2–6). Skenes had a short but effective outing, striking out 10 and allowing five hits in five innings. He threw 52 of his 78 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 1.94, but is just 4–7 this season. Pittsburgh was beaten 6–0 on Friday and 1–0 on Saturday during its scoreless weekend in Seattle. Before making the trip, the Pirates blanked St. Louis three straight times at home. The streak of playing in six straight shutouts is tied for the longest in major league history. Kirby (3–4) struck out nine, allowed four singles, and walked none. Andres Muñoz, named an AL All-Star on Sunday, worked the ninth for his 21st save, which is one shy of his career high. Key moment: The Mariners came close to taking a 1–0 lead in the first on a single by Jorge Polanco, but Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz made a 105.2 mph throw to nab Seattle's J.P. Crawford at the plate. It was the second-hardest thrown ball to produce an outfield assist since Statcast started tracking in 2015. Key stat: Polanco's hit was the 1,000th of his career.
