Adjust Comment Print

Minnesota was bludgeoned by the Mariners 14-3 on Monday and has been outscored by a staggering margin of 62-25 during a five-game slide at Target Field.

The Twins got another run in the seventh off Lawrence, with Dozier driving in Jorge Polanco with a double.

Ruiz lived up to his jersey number on Tuesday night, as the Seattle Mariners took on the Minnesota Twins in Minnesota and he took the mound with his Mariners down 19-7 in the bottom of the eighth inning. That set the stage for Davidson, who clubbed his team-leading 12th homer of the season.

The names hardly mattered with the way they were hitting at Minnesota on Monday.

BOSTON - Andrew Benintendi ripped a long run-scoring single with one out in the 12th inning to give Boston a sweep of Philadelphia in the Fenway Park portion of their four-game series.

Ben Gamel opened the game with a double, went to third on Robinson Cano's one-out single and scored on Nelson Cruz's grounder to second.

Rays 8, Blue Jays 1: Rookie Jacob Faria dazzled again and Logan Morrison hit his 18th home run of the season to help Tampa Bay win. Yovani Gallardo (3-6) sailed through six innings with the excess support, allowing three runs and seven hits. "Gibby got roughed up a little bit early".

He faced Robbie Grossman and got him to pop out to second before walking Max Kepler on five pitches to load the bases.

Dickey (4-5) allowed eight runs and eight hits (three homers) with six strikeouts in five innings plus five batters. A team crossed the 20-run threshold only once last season. "I feel great. I feel like I'm at home".

Since then, the coalition has taken down Manbij and targeted Raqqa, the de facto IS capital. More than 2,200 U.S. troops have died, and more than 20,000 more have been wounded.

"I just had a bad day as far as stuff and command goes", Bergman said.

"I don't know that I've ever had a one-on-one visit, definitely not one where he's visibly telling guys to stay away", Gibson said. The first two batters in the lineup, Gamel and Haniger, reached base and eventually scored all three times they faced Mejia.

Chase Headley launched his fourth home run of the season deep into the center-field bleachers in the seventh inning off starter JC Ramirez to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.

We love you Chooch, but maybe pitching is not your thing.

The Mariners made it 3-0 when Jarrod Dyson led off the second with a homer to right but missed a chance for a big inning by squandering a second-and-third opportunity with one out. Gimenez made his fifth appearance of the year to relieve a beleaguered bullpen.

The Mariners will take on the Al Central's first place team in the Twins, but it's a team that struggles at home. But that's how truly abysmal the Mariners were on Tuesday night at Target Field.

"We're 60 games in", manager Paul Molitor said. "You have to flush that", manager Scott Servais said. SS Jean Segura, out since June 2 with a right high ankle sprain, did some running on Wednesday at about 60 percent speed. Reliever Casey Lawrence was recalled from Tacoma before the game, and fellow RH Emilio Pagan was sent down. Six days after his big-league debut, Faria (2-0) became the third Rays pitcher all-time to win his first two career games, joining Jeremy Hellickson and Joe Kennedy. He is 6-for-15 as a pinch hitter this year.

Bergman threw out a clunker of a start, showing minimal command of his pitches and no ability to induce anything but off-the-barrel contact while failing to make it out of the third inning.
