WASHINGTON: Shea Langeliers had five hits, including three solo home runs, and the visiting Athletics dismantled the Washington Nationals 16-7 on Tuesday night. JJ Bleday had four hits, including a home run, and drove in six runs as the A's pounded out 24 hits. It was the second career three-homer game for Langeliers, who added a double and a single.
Luis Severino (6-11) earned the win, allowing three runs on five hits over six innings. Luis Garcia Jr. had three hits and Nathaniel Lowe walked four times for Washington, which has lost six straight and given up 54 runs in its past four games. MacKenzie Gore (4-12) gave up eight runs on 12 hits in three-plus innings. The A's jumped on Gore in the first with five runs, with Langeliers leading the game off with a homer.

Dodgers 12, Cardinals 6
Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez each erupted for two home runs and four RBIs and Los Angeles rolled to a victory over visiting St. Louis. Muncy logged a four-hit night in his second game back from the injured list. Emmet Sheehan (3-2) gave up two runs, both unearned, on four hits over five innings as the Dodgers improved to 8-9 since the All-Star break. Nolan Gorman and Willson Contreras hit home runs for the Cardinals, who lost for the fifth time in seven games. Miles Mikolas (6-9) permitted five runs on seven hits over three innings.
Rangers 2, Yankees 0
Rowdy Tellez's two-run single in the eighth provided the winning runs and backed Nathan Eovaldi's superb eight innings of one-hit pitching as Texas beat slumping New York in Arlington, Texas. Tellez's bases-loaded, game-winning hit off Yankees closer Devin Williams (3-4) drove in Adolis Garcia, who had doubled, and Joc Pederson, who had walked. Eovaldi (10-3) retired the first eight batters he faced until a two-out double in the third by Anthony Volpe. That was the only baserunner he would allow. Yankees starter Will Warren was nearly as good over his five-inning stint Tuesday, allowing no runs on three hits. The Yankees, who managed just two hits despite the return of slugger Aaron Judge from the injured list, have lost five straight games.
Brewers 7, Braves 2
Freddy Peralta became the first National League player to reach 13 wins, leading visiting Milwaukee to its fifth straight win with a victory in Atlanta. The veteran right-hander battled through five innings and threw 108 pitches, matching his season high. Peralta (13-5) allowed one run on four hits to improve his career record to 5-2 against the Braves. Nick Mears followed with a scoreless inning, Aaron Ashby allowed one run in two innings, and Grant Anderson closed the game with a scoreless ninth. Atlanta starter Joey Wentz (2-3) worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed five runs, seven hits, one walk and three strikeouts.
Twins 6, Tigers 3
Luke Keaschall blasted his first career homer off former Minnesota teammate Chris Paddack as the Twins downed host Detroit. Keaschall, who was activated from the injured list on Tuesday after recovering from a forearm fracture, added a run-scoring single. Ryan Jeffers had two doubles, scored two runs and drove in another. Winning pitcher Zebby Matthews (3-3) gave up one run on five hits while striking out six and walking one in five innings. Paddack (4-10) was making his second start for Detroit after being acquired from the Twins early last week. He gave up four runs and six hits in four innings. Jahmai Jones had a two-run triple and Kerry Carpenter added two hits and an RBI for the Tigers.
Astros 7, Marlins 3
Yainer Diaz slugged a three-run homer, Jose Altuve added a two-run shot and Houston defeated host Miami. The Astros, who will look for a three-game sweep on Wednesday afternoon, also got a two-run triple from Jeremy Pena. Houston went with a pre-planned bullpen game, with opener Steven Okert tossing 1 2/3 innings of one-run ball. Rookie reliever AJ Blubaugh (1-1) pitched five innings and was credited with his first major league win. He allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five. Marlins' starter Cal Quantrill (4-9) gave up nine hits, three walks and seven runs in 4 1/3 innings. He fanned two. In his three previous starts, he had allowed just one run in 16 innings. Jakob Marsee, Miami's rookie center fielder, went 2-for-2 with his first major league homer and a walk.
Giants 8, Pirates 1
Logan Webb struck out 10 and allowed one run over six innings to lead San Francisco to an 8-1 victory over host Pittsburgh. Jerar Encarnacion, who was called up from the minors on Monday, and Willy Adames, who was 2-for-3, each homered for the Giants. Every starter in San Francisco's lineup recorded at least one hit. Bryan Reynolds had two hits to lead the Pirates, who had a brief two-game winning streak snapped and lost for only the fourth time in their past 14 games.
Phillies 5, Orioles 0
Taijuan Walker pitched six solid innings and Max Kepler hit a two-run homer as host Philadelphia topped Baltimore. Brandon Marsh also homered for the Phillies, who have won three games in a row. Kepler and Marsh finished with two hits apiece for the hosts, as did Bryson Stott. Walker (4-5) allowed four hits without a walk and struck out four batters in lowering his ERA to 3.53. Baltimore managed only five singles—two by Jordan Westburg—in losing for the fifth time in six games. Dean Kremer (8-8) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings with six strikeouts and one walk.
Guardians 3, Mets 2
Steven Kwan delivered a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning for visiting Cleveland, which remained red hot with a come-from-behind victory in New York. The Guardians have won the first two games of the three-game interleague series to improve to 18-7 since July 7 -- the third-best record in baseball in that span behind only the Milwaukee Brewers and Boston Red Sox. Cleveland has won six of its past seven games. The Mets, who led 2-0 after two innings thanks to Pete Alonso's sacrifice fly and Tyrone Taylor's RBI single, have lost seven of eight, including four of the first five games on a six-game homestand.
Red Sox 6, Royals 2
Behind 2-for-4 efforts and a combined five RBIs from Wilyer Abreu and Trevor Story, Boston scored five runs across the sixth and seventh innings to beat visiting Kansas City. The middle-of-the-order duo supported starter Garrett Crochet (13-4), who earned his sixth consecutive win after dealing seven innings of four-hit, two-run ball. Story drove in three with RBI hits in each of those multi-run innings, including a go-ahead, two-run single into center field in the sixth. Maikel Garcia went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a run for Kansas City. Ryan Bergert (1-1) lost his Royals debut despite allowing just two runs on two hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Reds 5, Cubs 1
Spencer Steer belted a three-run homer and Zack Littell tossed seven strong innings in his debut, fueling Cincinnati past host Chicago. Steer had an RBI single in the fifth inning and launched his 13th homer of the season to snap a 1-1 tie in the seventh. The offense was more than enough for Littell (9-8), who allowed one run on three hits and struck out eight batters. He was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays prior to the trade deadline last week. Littell's lone blemish was Matt Shaw's solo homer with one out in the fifth inning. Andrew Kittredge (2-3) relieved starter Shota Imanaga in the seventh inning and yielded four runs on four hits in one-third of an inning.
Blue Jays 10, Rockies 4
Daulton Varsho homered twice, doubled and drove in a career-best six runs as Toronto beat Colorado in Denver. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered among his three hits, Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger also went deep for Toronto while Lukes, Bo Bichette and Alejandro Kirk had two hits each. Hunter Goodman homered and singled for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row.
Padres 10, Diamondbacks 5 (11 innings)
Luis Arraez hit a tiebreaking single to spark a five-run 11th inning and San Diego overcame a pair of two-run homers by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to beat Arizona in Phoenix. Ramon Laureano had three hits and three RBIs, Manny Machado added three hits, and Jake Cronenworth finished with two hits and two RBIs for the Padres, who have won eight of 10. Arraez, Laureano and Freddy Fermin had RBIs off Jake Woodford (0-2) in the 11th, which also included Jackson Merrill's sacrifice fly and a run-scoring fielder's choice from Cronenworth. Gurriel homered for a 2-0 lead off Padres starter Yu Darvish in the first and tied the game at 5-5 with his second in the eighth inning off Mason Miller. The latter homer, on a 103.9 mph fastball, went an estimated 439 feet to left-center.
Mariners 8, White Sox 3
Eugenio Suarez hit a tiebreaking home run, his first since being re-acquired at the trade deadline, as Seattle defeated visiting Chicago in the opener of a three-game series. Right-hander Bryan Woo (9-6) allowed one run on two hits over seven innings while Dominic Canzone and Josh Naylor also went deep for the Mariners, who improved to 4-1 on their 10-game homestand. Lenyn Sosa, Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery homered for the White Sox, who had won 10 of their previous 15 games. With the score tied at 1-1, the Mariners took the lead in the fourth thanks to Naylor and Suarez, who came over in separate deals with Arizona. Naylor led off the inning with a 107.5 mph one-hopper that White Sox second baseman Josh Rojas couldn't handle. Suarez then deposited the next pitch into the stands down the left field line to break the tie and give him 37 homers on the season.
Rays 7, Angels 3
Brandon Lowe hit a two-run home run and Jake Mangum had a two-run single to highlight a seven-run fourth inning that led Tampa Bay to a victory over Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif. Ryan Pepiot (7-9) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over 5 2/3 innings as the Rays won for just the second time in their last 13 road games. Jo Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Angels, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Jose Soriano (7-9) permitted seven runs on seven hits over four innings. — Reuters

The Dodgers, who took their fourth straight loss, fell one game behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West. Los Angeles hadn't trailed in the division since April 27. With the bases loaded and the Dodgers up 5-4 in the eighth, O'Hoppe lined a 103.2 mph fastball from reliever Edgardo Henriquez into center field to drive in Christian Moore and Taylor Ward, who had walked against Justin Wrobleski (4-4). Tigers 1, White Sox 0 Troy Melton and three relievers combined on a two-hit shutout and Wenceel Perez contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly to help Detroit defeat the host Chicago.

Pete Alonso sets Mets' career homer mark in win
NEW YORK: Pete Alonso clubbed two of the Mets' six homers Tuesday night, breaking the franchise record for career long balls in the process, as New York routed the visiting Atlanta Braves 13-5. Alonso's first homer, a two-run shot to right-center in the bottom of the third, was the 253rd of his seven-year career. That knocked Darryl Strawberry's 37-year old record out of the books and Alonso got a long ovation from the Citi Field crowd, taking a curtain call to boot. Alonso added his 28th homer of the year in the sixth, marking his fourth two-homer game of the year and allowing New York to snap a seven-game losing streak. Teammate Francisco Alvarez also cracked a pair of homers while Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty tacked on homers in the team's 16-hit attack. Reliever Gregory Soto (1-3) worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win while rookie Justin Hagenman pitched four hitless innings to earn his first major league save.

Peralta (14-5) leads the National League in victories.

Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughn and Caleb Durbin also homered for the Brewers. Four Milwaukee pitchers held Pittsburgh to four hits. Mariners 1, Orioles 0 Seattle's George Kirby held host Baltimore to three hits in seven innings and the Mariners earned their eighth consecutive victory. Kirby (8-5) faced just two batters over the minimum during his stint. Andres Munoz secured his 28th save despite issuing a two-out walk to Gunnar Henderson in the ninth and then a single by Adley Rutschman. Dean Kremer (8-9) was the hard-luck loser for Baltimore after tossing eight innings of one-run ball. A first-inning run held up as Josh Naylor delivered a two-out single to drive in the game's lone run. Red Sox 14, Astros 1 The Red Sox scored 12 runs in the final four innings and Dustin May twirled six shutout frames as Boston posted a win at Houston.

Aaron Judge homered for the first time since July 23 and Anthony Volpe hit a tiebreaking three-run homer. Minnesota's Austin Martin opened the game with a single and scored the Twins' lone run.

With heavy rain falling, Bryce Harper launched a towering homer, his 18th, to the seats in right with two outs in the ninth to end the shutout bid. The Phillies had their four-game win streak snapped and lost for the first time in five tries on their 10-game, three-city road trip. Royals 8, Nationals 5 Vinnie Pasquantino clubbed a three-run homer and had five RBIs, and Michael Wacha allowed two runs while pitching into the sixth inning as Kansas City beat visiting Washington. Jonathan India added a two-run homer as Kansas City won its fourth straight home game. It was the third time this season Pasquantino recorded at least five RBIs in a game. Meanwhile, Wacha won his third straight start, lasting 5 2/3 innings. James Wood and CJ Abrams each had two hits with an RBI for Washington, which has lost 10 of 13. The Nationals' Mitchell Parker (7-13) yielded only two hits but three walks aided in his surrendering five runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Texas managed just four hits—only one after the third inning—and lost for the fifth time in six games. Angels 7, Dodgers 6 (10 innings) Jo Adell bounced a single into left field to drive in Taylor Ward from third base in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Angels, who earlier turned the eighth triple play in team history, a walk-off Freeway Series victory over the Dodgers in Anaheim, Calif. Ward, who went 2-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBIs, began the inning as the automatic runner at second and advanced to third on a bunt single by Christian Moore, setting the stage for Adell's game-winner. It was the ninth walk-off win of the season for the Angels, tied for the most in the majors. Shohei Ohtani, who hit into the triple play in his previous at-bat, hit his 43rd home run in the ninth inning to extend his homer streak to four games. The triple play came in the sixth inning with the score tied, 5-5. Miguel Rojas and Dalton Rushing began the inning with back-to-back singles before Ohtani hit a soft liner over the second base bag where shortstop Zach Neto caught it, stepped on the bag to double off Rojas and then threw to Nolan Schanuel at first to triple-off Rushing. It was marked the team's first triple play since Aug. 18, 2023, against Tampa Bay. — Reuters

Zhao and Ding advance to last 16 at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters
JEDDAH, Aug 13, (Xinhua): The Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters 2025 completed its round of 32 matches in Jeddah on Tuesday, with World Championship winner Zhao Xintong and fellow Chinese player Ding Junhui advancing to the last 16, while world number one Judd Trump suffered a surprise early exit, ending his title defense hopes. Making his debut in the tournament, Zhao swept England's Steven Hallworth five-zero in just 55 minutes in the best-of-nine contest, producing breaks of over 90 points in every frame, including a high break of 132 in the second frame. "I played quite well today, and had decent breaks in every frame," Zhao said. "This is my first time playing in Saudi Arabia. For a debut, I think I did pretty well and enjoyed the stage." Ding recovered from a slow start against Stephen Maguire, overturning a 1-2 deficit to win four straight frames and seal a 5-2 victory. "At the beginning, I hadn't yet adapted to the pace of the match, but I gradually found my rhythm and touch after getting a few chances," Ding said. The Saudi Snooker Masters was inaugurated in 2024, and this year marks Ding's second consecutive appearance. In an all-Chinese clash, Si Jiahui rallied to beat Wu Yize 5-3 and will face Kyren Wilson for a place in the quarterfinals. Chang Bingyu edged world number 10 Mark Allen 5-4 and will take on Ronnie O'Sullivan next. Trump, aiming to defend his title, fell 3-5 to world number 68 Oliver Lines, while world number four John Higgins exited after a 4-5 loss to Elliot Slessor.
