MLB roundup: Shohei Ohtani, after pitching, lifts Dodgers at plate

Shohei Ohtani pitched an inning for the first time in nearly two years and drove in two runs out of the leadoff spot as the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 6-3 victory over the visiting San Diego Padres on Monday.
Ohtani, who is back to pitching after undergoing a second Tommy John procedure in 2023, started and gave up one run and two hits on 28 pitches in his lone inning of work, reaching 100.2 mph on a fastball. At the plate, he had an RBI double in the third inning and a run-scoring single in the fourth.
Max Muncy had a two-run single and Will Smith collected two hits as the Dodgers won for the sixth time in eight games. Ben Casparius (5-1) got the win in relief, and Kirby Yates pitched a perfect ninth inning for his second save.
Manny Machado hit a home run and had two RBIs for the Padres, who fell to 4-8 since June 4. Dylan Cease (2-6) yielded six runs on eight hits in five innings despite fanning nine.
Angels 1, Yankees 0 (11 innings)
Nolan Schanuel hit a tiebreaking broken-bat double with one out in the 11th inning and Los Angeles hung on for a victory over host New York.
The Yankees had a chance to rally in the bottom half when Brock Burke loaded the bases, but Hunter Strickland retired Anthony Volpe on one pitch to end it.
Schanuel’s go-ahead RBI prevented the Angels from dropping a fourth straight game and gave them their first 1-0 win over the Yankees since Aug. 1, 2008, in New York.
A’s 3, Astros 1
Rookie Nick Kurtz walloped a two-run walk-off homer with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Athletics a victory over visiting Houston.
JJ Bleday also homered for the Athletics, who have won a season-best four straight games after losing 24 of their previous 28 contests. Mason Miller (1-2) fanned two in a perfect top of the ninth.
Jose Altuve went deep for the Astros, who had their season-best five-game winning streak end. Bryan Abreu (1-3) walked Brent Rooker before serving up Kurtz’s homer.
Red Sox 2, Mariners 0
Roman Anthony hit his first major league home run and Lucas Giolito pitched six scoreless innings as Boston beat host Seattle for its sixth consecutive victory. The Mariners had a three-game winning streak snapped.
Giolito (3-1) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out a season-high 10 batters. Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth for his 13th save.
Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-2), who had been out since April 25 with a right elbow flexor strain, went five innings and allowed two runs on three hits with one walk and 10 strikeouts.
Rays 7, Orioles 1
Josh Lowe rapped his first career leadoff home run, Jake Mangum went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, and Tampa Bay throttled visiting Baltimore.
Brandon Lowe (two-run homer), Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero and Christopher Morel each had two of the Rays’ 14 hits. Ryan Pepiot (4-6) tossed a career-high eight innings, allowed one run and fanned a season-high 11.
Adley Rutschman’s solo homer was one of the Orioles’ four hits as Baltimore lost for the first time in four games. Zach Eflin (6-3) surrendered seven runs on a career-high 12 hits in five innings.
Rockies 6, Nationals 4
Mickey Moniak’s two-run home run capped a three-run ninth inning, and visiting Colorado rallied to send Washington to its ninth straight loss.
Hunter Goodman led off the ninth with the Rockies trailing 4-3 and smacked his second homer of the night, a shot to center against closer Kyle Finnegan (0-2). With two outs and a runner on, Moniak homered to right, just beyond the reach of a leaping Daylen Lile. Moniak added a triple for the Rockies, who have won two straight.
Victor Vodnik (2-2) pitched the eighth and Seth Halvorsen worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth for his fourth save. James Wood had a two-run home run and Lile added his first major league homer for the Nationals, who are 0-4 on their seven-game homestand.
Phillies 5, Marlins 2
Trea Turner had three hits, including a home run, and drove in two runs as Philadelphia defeated host Miami for its fifth straight win.
Max Kepler also added a homer and Mick Abel (2-0) surrendered one run and three hits over five innings for the Phillies. Orion Kerkering pitched a perfect ninth inning to secure his first career save.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara (3-8) allowed two runs on five hits over five innings. Xavier Edwards scored a run and was the sole Marlin to notch at least two hits.
