Jordan Lyles pitched into the sixth inning and Trey Mancini hit an inside-the-park home run in what might have been his last home game with the Orioles, a 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday afternoon.

With one out, one on and the Orioles leading 1-0 in the eighth, Tampa Bay right-fielder Josh Lowe couldn’t find Mancini’s fly ball in the sun. The ball hit him and rolled into the right-field corner. Austin Hays scored from second, and Mancini beat the relay throw home for his first career inside-the-park homer.

Between innings, Mancini, the designated hitter and longtime member of the Orioles, received a curtain call. The Orioles embark Friday on a six-game road trip that will extend beyond the trade deadline.

Lyles (7-8), allowed three hits and pitched around control problems as he struck out four and walked four. Felix Bautista pitched 1 1/3 innings for his third save. Ryan Yarbrough (0-6) went toe-to-toe with Lyles, allowing a run on four hits over six innings. He struck out eight batters without a walk.

Yankees 1, Royals 0

Aaron Judge hit a game-ending homer with one out in the ninth inning as New York eked out a victory over visiting Kansas City.

Judge lifted a first-pitch fastball from Scott Barlow (4-3) off an advertisement in the back of the visiting bullpen beyond left-center field. Judge’s major-league-best 39th homer and sixth in seven games occurred after Yankees newcomer Andrew Benintendi capped an 0-for-4 debut by fouling out to left field.

Kansas City’s Brady Singer dominated the Yankees by throwing mostly sinkers and sliders in seven overpowering innings. He limited New York just to a Gleyber Torres single in the fourth inning while striking out 10 and walking one.

Ohtani (9-6) gave up two runs in six innings, a solid performance but not good enough on a night when the Los Angeles offense was silent. Ohtani struck out 11, giving him 68 in his last six starts. He finished in double digits in all six.

Patrick Wisdom smacked a two-run homer for the Cubs, who saw a six-game winning streak come to an end. His 18th homer of the season came three batters after Ian Happ singled to center field leading off the seventh, ending Wood’s no-hit bid.

In 6 2/3 innings, Wood (7-8) allowed two runs and two hits. He walked two and struck out three. Cubs starter Justin Steele (4-7) lasted just 3 2/3 innings, although all four runs he allowed were unearned. He gave up five hits and a walk while striking out six.

Red Sox 4, Guardians 2

Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer and Kutter Crawford allowed just one run across 5 2/3 innings as host Boston defeated Cleveland to snap a two-game losing skid.

Trailing 1-0 going into the bottom of the sixth, the Red Sox were shut out for five innings, but Jeter Downs led off the sixth with a base hit. He was forced at second on Jarren Duran’s bunt.

With the score 2-2 in the eighth, Yuli Gurriel was hit by a pitch from Mariners reliever Andres Munoz (1-4) and swiped second base. Bregman then hit an RBI drive to left-center field, went to third on a groundout and scored when Munoz uncorked a wild pitch.
