Jarren Duran had a double and a triple as the Boston Red Sox tagged Mets ace Kodai Senga for three runs — the most he has given up all season — and beat New York 3-1 on Monday night.
Senga (4-3) fell behind 3-0 after two innings before settling down and retiring the last seven batters he faced. He allowed five hits and three walks in all while striking out five.
Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins held the Mets to one run on five hits, allowing back-to-back singles before he struck Tyrone Taylor out on a called third strike for the second out in the fifth. Justin Wilson (2-0) fanned Francisco Lindor to end the threat.
Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his seventh save.
Duran led off the bottom of the first with a double, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Alex Bregman’s groundout. Trevor Story singled in another run to make it 2-0. Boston made it 3-0 in the second on Duran’s RBI triple, his sixth of the season.
The Mets’ only run came on Taylor’s RBI single in the third.
Reds 7, Pirates 1
Austin Hays had three hits and two RBIs, and scored the go-ahead run on Monday night as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1 for their fifth consecutive victory.
Gavin Lux hit two doubles, his second scoring Hays in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie. Hays singled with two outs, continued to second on shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s throwing error and then scored on Lux’s line drive to left field.
TJ Friedl also had three of the Reds’ 11 hits and Elly De La Cruz had two hits and two RBIs.
Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (4-4) allowed one run and four hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked one.
Lynn Richardson, Scott Barlow and Brent Suter finished with one scoreless inning each.
Marlins 8, Cubs 7
Jesús Sánchez hit a leadoff homer and a game-ending triple, finishing with three hits and four RBIs as the Miami Marlins came back to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-7 on Monday night.
Rookie catcher Agustín Ramírez also went deep in the first inning for the Marlins, who squandered two leads before Sánchez’s two-run triple won it with two outs in the ninth.
Miami was down to its last strike against reliever Daniel Palencia (0-1) when Derek Hill doubled on an 0-2 count and Javier Sanoja walked. Sánchez then hit a hard smash past first baseman Michael Busch and into the right-field corner, sending both runners home for the Marlins’ sixth walk-off win of the season.
After the Cubs took a 7-6 lead in the sixth, Valente Bellozo (1-2) threw three scoreless innings of relief for the win.
Miguel Amaya homered, doubled and drove in five runs for the NL Central-leading Cubs.
Recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, Matt Shaw hit an RBI double that capped a four-run sixth against Marlins reliever Jesús Tinoco and gave Chicago a 7-6 lead. Moisés Ballesteros hit a run-scoring single and scored on Amaya’s two-run double.
Cubs starter Ben Brown retired 12 straight until the Marlins chased him with a four-run fifth. Liam Hicks hit an RBI triple and Sanoja, Sánchez and Otto López added run-scoring singles.
Mariners 5, White Sox 1
Julio Rodríguez hit a grand slam, Luis Castillo pitched seven crisp innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox 5-1 on Monday night for their fourth straight victory.
Castillo allowed three hits, struck out five and walked none in his first win since April 26. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four career starts against Chicago.
The last-place White Sox wasted a sharp performance by Davis Martin in their fifth consecutive loss. The right-hander pitched a career-high 7 1/3 innings of four-hit ball.
Cam Booser replaced Martin (2-5) with one on in the eighth. He walked J.P. Crawford and surrendered Mitch Garver’s pinch-hit single before Rodríguez connected for his second career slam.
Castillo (4-3) retired his last 14 batters. He threw 94 pitches, 64 for strikes.
Chicago scored its only run on Andrew Vaughn’s RBI single with two out in the ninth. Andrés Muñoz struck out Michael A. Taylor with the bases loaded for his 15th save.
