MLB roundup: Red Sox pile up runs again, take set from Yanks
June 9 - Carlos Narvaez hit a three-run homer against his former team to spark a five-run sixth inning as the Boston Red Sox downed the host New York Yankees 11-7 on Sunday night. The Red Sox scored 21 runs in taking the final two games of the series and 27 times overall. Acquired from the Yankees in December, Narvaez gave Boston a 5-3 lead when he sliced a fastball from New York starter Carlos Rodon (8-4) into the left field seats. Boston rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Abraham Toro and Trevor Story ripped back-to-back homers in the eighth, and Rafael Devers homered in the ninth. Rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander did not get any strikeouts or issue a walk. New York slugger Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first and another two-run shot in the ninth. DJ LeMahieu also homered as the Yankees lost a series for only the second time in 10 tries. Pirates 2, Phillies 1 Paul Skenes and rookie Braxton Ashcraft combined to allow just one run on three hits as host Pittsburgh earned its first sweep of the season over Philadelphia. Oneil Cruz drew a walk from Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez (5-2) to begin the bottom of the eighth. Orion Kerkering replaced Sanchez on the mound. Cruz then stole second -- his 23rd stolen base of the season -- and scored the eventual winning run on a broken-bat single to right by Andrew McCutchen. Skenes allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven over 7 2/3 innings and 97 pitches. Ashcraft (1-0) surrendered a one-out double to Trea Turner in the ninth and intentionally walked Kyle Schwarber. But after a mound visit, Ashcraft needed only one pitch to induce a game-ending ground ball to short from Alec Bohm that the Pirates turned into a 4-3 double play. Rays 3, Marlins 2 Brandon Lowe's eighth-inning sacrifice fly capped a comeback for Tampa Bay as it beat visiting Miami. Yandy Diaz had a hand in each of the runs for the Rays as the designated hitter went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. His eighth-inning double chased reliever Valente Bellozo (1-3). Pinch runner Jose Caballero stole third off Calvin Faucher, allowing him to score on Lowe's fly ball to shallow center. Edwin Uceta (5-1) pitched a perfect eighth and ninth with three strikeouts for the Rays, who have won five of their last six games. Rookie Heriberto Hernandez enjoyed the first three-hit day of his major league career, but it was not enough for the Marlins as they fell for the sixth time in their last seven contests. Giants 4, Braves 3 Mike Yastrzemski highlighted a three-run fourth inning with a two-run double, Landen Roupp combined with three relievers on a six-hitter and San Francisco completed a three-game sweep over visiting Atlanta. Ryan Walker, Randy Rodriguez and Camilo Doval retired nine of the 11 men they faced over the final three scoreless innings, allowing the Giants to record a third straight one-run win over the Braves and a fifth straight overall. The sweep was San Francisco's first at home over Atlanta since 2009. Matt Olson drove in three runs for the Braves, who have lost seven in a row for the second time this season. Padres 1, Brewers 0 Manny Machado snapped a scoreless tie with a leadoff home run in the seventh inning and rookie Ryan Bergert and five relievers combined on a four-hitter to pace San Diego past host Milwaukee in the decider of a three-game series. After the Padres managed just one hit in six innings against Freddy Peralta, Machado greeted reliever Rob Zastryzny (1-1) with his 10th homer, sending a 3-2 pitch 425 feet to left-center. Robert Suarez allowed a two-out single in a scoreless ninth for his major league-leading 21st save in 23 opportunities. Rangers 4, Nationals 2 Evan Carter and Jake Burger each finished a triple short of the cycle as Texas beat host Washington in the rubber match of their three-game series. Carter hit a two-run homer in the second inning, doubled in the fourth and singled in the sixth before striking out in the eighth. Burger doubled in the second, flied out in the fourth, singled in the sixth and hit a solo homer in the eighth. Jacob Webb (3-3) pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief in the bullpen game for the Rangers. Robert Garcia worked the final 1 1/3 innings for his fourth save. Alex Call homered for the Nationals, and Nathaniel Lowe had three hits. Starter Trevor Williams (3-7) gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits in 4 1/3 innings. Reds 4, Diamondbacks 2 Matt McLain hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning to help Cincinnati complete a three-game sweep of visiting Arizona. Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jose Trevino also homered for the Reds to wrap up their fourth sweep of the season. Reds starter Brady Singer allowed two runs and five hits in five innings. He struck out three and walked three. Arizona starter Zac Gallen (4-8) allowed four runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking three. Eugenio Suarez homered for the second straight game for the Diamondbacks, who came into the series riding a four-game winning streak. Royals 7, White Sox 5 Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. homered and Jac Caglianone went 4-for-4 as visiting Kansas City stopped Chicago's three-game winning streak. Royals pitching retired 18 straight batters from the third through eighth innings before Chicago scored three runs against Trevor Richards, who allowed the first four hitters to reach base in the ninth. Carlos Estevez tempered a late White Sox rally to earn his 19th save, striking out Tim Elko with the bases loaded to end the game. Miguel Vargas hit a home run and finished with three RBIs for the White Sox. Chicago turned five double plays, but Kansas City regrouped to score five runs in the final three innings before holding on. Twins 6, Blue Jays 3 Brooks Lee and Christian Vazquez hit consecutive home runs and Minnesota held on for a win over Toronto in Minneapolis. Ty France went 2-for-4 with an RBI double for Minnesota, which salvaged a win in the three-game series. Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach added one RBI apiece. George Springer and Alan Roden each doubled and drove in a run for Toronto, whose four-game winning streak ended. Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (7-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out six. Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis (2-8) gave up four runs on five hits, including a pair of home runs, in 3 1/3 innings. Guardians 4, Astros 2 Bo Naylor homered among his three hits as Cleveland snapped a three-game losing streak with the victory over visiting Houston. It was the second three-hit game of the season for Naylor and seventh of his career. Gabriel Arias doubled twice and scored a run for Cleveland. Jake Meyers went 4-for-4 with two stolen bases and Cam Smith had a two-run double for Houston, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Dodgers 7, Cardinals 3 Tommy Edman drove in three runs to power visiting Los Angeles past St. Louis to avoid a three-game sweep. Hyeseong Kim drove in two runs and Mookie Betts hit a homer for the Dodgers. Starter Clayton Kershaw (1-0) allowed one run on six hits in five innings. He struck out seven. Alec Burleson (2-for-3, run, RBI) and Willson Contreras (2-for-4, run, RBI) paced the Cardinals offense. St. Louis starter Michael McGreevy (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings. He struck out five. Tigers 4, Cubs 0 Jack Flaherty pitched six strong innings, Spencer Torkelson hit a two-run double and host Detroit blanked Chicago. Flaherty (5-6) gave up two hits and walked three while striking out nine while notching a win for his third consecutive start. Brenan Hanifee, Tommy Kahnle and Will Vest each tossed an inning of scoreless relief. Riley Greene added two hits and drove in two runs. Kerry Carpenter had three hits and scored a run as the Tigers took the series 2-1. Cubs starter Cade Horton (3-1) gave up all four runs in five innings. Infielder Nico Hoerner and manager Craig Counsell were ejected by home plate umpire Derek Thomas in the fifth inning for arguing balls and strikes. Mets 13, Rockies 5 Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each had two home runs and three hits, Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez also went deep and New York beat Colorado in Denver. It was Alonso's 23rd career multi-homer game, the most in Mets history. He now has 243 career home runs, second to Darryl Strawberry's 252. Alvarez and Juan Soto had three hits for New York, which swept Colorado for the second time in a span of eight days. Ryan McMahon, Tyler Freeman and Jordan Beck had two hits each for the Rockies. Colorado starter Chase Dollander (2-6) allowed five runs on eight hits over three innings. Athletics 5, Orioles 1 Max Muncy homered and Jacob Wilson turned in his fifth consecutive multi-hit game in the host Athletics' win over Baltimore in West Sacramento, Calif.

Sean Newcomb (1-4) got the win with three innings of shutout relief, allowing three hits, no walks and striking out three. Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4) took the loss. He gave up four runs (three earned) and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, with one walk and two strikeouts. Baltimore had won seven of its last eight games. Mariners 3, Angels 2 George Kirby posted a career-high 14 strikeouts across seven innings as Seattle earned a victory over Los Angeles at Anaheim, Calif.

Randy Arozarena went 3-for-5 with an RBI. Tyler Anderson (2-3) allowed three earned runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings while striking out six and walking one.

Ex-Yankee Carlos Narvaez's 3-run HR sparks Red Sox
June 9 - Carlos Narvaez hit a three-run homer to spark a five-run sixth inning for the visiting Boston Red Sox, who earned an 11-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday night. The Red Sox took the final two games of the series after making a late comeback attempt in Friday's 9-6 loss. Boston scored 21 runs in the two wins and 27 times overall. Acquired from the Yankees in December, Narvaez gave Boston a 5-3 lead when he sliced a 1-2 fastball from New York starter Carlos Rodon (8-4) into the left field seats. It was the sixth homer for the catcher, who signed with the Yankees as an international free agent in 2015 and made six appearances with New York last season. Rookie Kristian Campbell hit a two-run homer off Rodon in the fifth before the Red Sox had their second five-run inning in the past two games. Rodon opened the sixth by hitting Rafael Devers and walking Rob Refsnyder. After Narvaez's homer chased Rodon, Fernando Cruz loaded the bases and Jarren Duran hit a two-run single off Tim Hill for a 7-3 lead. Abraham Toro and Trevor Story ripped back-to-back homers in the eighth off Jonathan Loaisiga. Devers homered in the ninth and Toro hit an RBI double in the ninth. Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first and another two-run shot in the ninth after striking out three times against Garrett Crochet on Saturday. DJ LeMahieu also homered as the Yankees lost a series for only the second time in 10 tries. Rodon allowed five runs on three hits in five-plus innings and took his first loss since April 13 after entering the game 7-0 with a 1.27 ERA in his previous nine starts. The left-hander struck out five and walked three. Boston rookie Hunter Dobbins (3-1) allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. The right-hander did not get any strikeouts or issue a walk. In the sixth, Boston's Brennan Bernardino loaded the bases and allowed a sacrifice fly to Jazz Chisholm Jr. Garrett Whitlock allowed a bases-loaded free pass to Trent Grisham before escaping the sixth with a 7-5 lead. Aroldis Chapman fanned Anthony Volpe with two outs and two on in the ninth for his 11th save. --Field Level Media

Carlos Narvaez ready to see the other side of Red Sox-Yankees rivalry
Carlos Narvaez has been one of the few bright spots with the Boston Red Sox this season, emerging as the team's everyday catcher and current cleanup hitter. This weekend, he'll get his first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry from the Boston side of things. He knows plenty about one of the best rivalries in sports, but his previous perspective is much different than the one the 26-year-old currently holds. Before arriving in Boston over the winter, Narvaez spent nine years in the Yankees organization after signing with New York as an international free agent in 2015. He made his Major League debut with the Yankees 11 months ago, and though he only played in six games in the big leagues, he was around the team during its run to the World Series. This weekend, he'll see many of his former teammates and friends when they step to the plate against Boston in the Bronx. "It's going to be a lot of emotions, of course," Narvaez told WBZ-TV's Joe Weil. "Last year when I made my debut, I never expected being traded. ... I'm super proud being able to wear both uniforms." That the Red Sox got such a key contributor on the 2025 squad from the hated Yankees is an added bonus. The backstop was acquired last December for pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, and made Boston's Opening Day roster as Connor Wong's backup. Narvaez took over behind the plate on a fulltime basis when Wong fractured his pinkie in early April, and has been great for Boston since. Through 47 games, Narvaez is slashing .288/.356/.456 with an .812 OPS to go along with five home runs, a dozen doubles, 19 RBI, and 24 runs scored. He's also displayed some excellent defense behind the plate. Narvaez said he remembers everything about his MLB debut at Yankee Stadium last year. He was told to grab a bat in the bottom of the ninth with New York trailing the Tampa Bay Rays, 9-1. With the count at 2-2 against Kevin Kelly, Narvaez ripped a single to right field. "It was a big day for me, like it is for every guy," recalled Narvaez. "I got goosebumps. ... That was cool after nine years in the minors, I got to make my debut at Yankee Stadium." Despite his short stint in the Majors last year, Narvaez said he learned a lot in 2024. He continued to clean up his game and develop in Winter Ball, and he's now using everything he learned last season in his first year with Boston. "I'm happy because [last year's work is] paying off right now," he said. "But at the same time we have to, as a group, find a way to win games."
