Patrick Mazeika, making his season debut, hit the tie-breaking homer in the seventh inning Saturday night as the New York Mets edged the visiting Seattle Mariners 5-4 in the middle game of a three-game series.

The win gives the Mets a chance to extend their franchise-record, season-opening unbeaten series streak to 11. New York has won nine series and split one.

The Mariners fell to 4-9 this month.

The Mets carried a 4-1 lead into the seventh, when J.P. Crawford and Eugenio Suarez singled with one out against Seth Lugo. Jesse Winker — who was booed all weekend by the Citi Field crowd — greeted Chasen Shreve with a three-run homer.

But Mazeika, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse when starting catcher James McCann went on the injured list Friday, hit his second career homer down the right field line on the first pitch from Andres Munoz (1-1) in the bottom half.

Adam Ottavino (1-1) was credited with the win after he allowed a single to Luis Torrens but stranded him at third in the eighth. Edwin Diaz, who collected 109 saves for the Mariners from 2016-18, dispatched his former team by striking out the side to earn his eighth save.

Starling Marte finished a homer shy of the cycle and scored three runs for the Mets. He scored on an RBI single by Francisco Lindor in the first, a sacrifice fly by Lindor in the third and a double by Pete Alonso in the fifth.

Jeff McNeil had a sacrifice fly in the third.

Mets starter Chris Bassitt allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings.

Steven Souza Jr. had an RBI single off Bassitt in the sixth. Torrens reached base in all four plate appearances (two singles, two walks) while Winker and Ty France had two hits apiece.

Mariners starter George Kirby, pitching about a half hour south of his boyhood home in Rye, N.Y., allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk with one strikeout over four innings.

Andres Gimenez and Myles Straw each drove in runs in the top of the 10th inning as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Cleveland broke a 1-1 tie when Gimenez’s leadoff double off the right-field wall scored Ernie Clement, pinch-running for automatic runner Franmil Reyes, from second base. The Guardians added an insurance run on Straw’s two-out, RBI single off Jharel Cotton (0-1).

Guardians reliever Nick Sandlin (3-1) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Emmanuel Clase allowed a run in the bottom of the 10th before securing his seventh save.

Gio Urshela homered for Minnesota and delivered a one-out, run-scoring single in the bottom of the 10th. Clase struck out Nick Gordon with two runners on to end the game.

Twins starter Devin Smeltzer tossed five innings of one-run ball in his season debut, allowing three hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

The Guardians pushed a run across in the second when Owen Miller hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Reyes’ one-out single.

Minnesota pulled even on Urshela’s leadoff homer in the fourth off Shane Bieber. The 434-foot blast to center was Urshela’s first since opening day.

Bieber allowed one run on seven hits over six frames on a season-high 109 pitches. He walked three and struck out seven.

The former Cy Young award winner worked out of trouble several times in the early innings. Gary Sanchez drew a two-out walk to load the bases in the third before Bieber struck out Max Kepler.

The Twins loaded the bases again with one out in the fifth before Urshela grounded into a double play and Jose Miranda grounded out to third to end the inning.

Twins reliever Jhoan Duran retired the Guardians in order in the ninth and recorded the fastest pitch in franchise history at 103.3 mph.

Minnesota went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and lost for the fourth time in its last five games.

Luis Robert had two hits and two RBIs, including the walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, to lift the host Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night.

Yoan Moncada homered for the second time in three games for the White Sox.

Outscored 25-11 in the first two games of the series, the White Sox prevailed in a nail-biter as Dallas Keuchel outdueled Yankees counterpart Jordan Montgomery before the game came down to the bullpens.

Chicago allowed runs in the eighth and ninth but regrouped to break through for the winning tally against Aroldis Chapman (0-1). Tim Anderson delivered a one-out single, his third hit of the night, and Moncada walked before Robert capped off the night as Chicago ended a two-game losing streak.

Keuchel scattered four hits, three walks and three strikeouts in five shutout innings. Montgomery allowed two runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings with three walks and four strikeouts.

Liam Hendriks (1-2), who blew a five-out save opportunity, was the winner, allowing one run on one hit in 1 2/3 innings with one walk and three strikeouts.

Chicago opened the scoring in the first inning, as Robert lined an RBI single to center field to extend his hitting streak to 12 games.

The White Sox added to the advantage two innings later. Moncada, who made his season debut Monday after opening the season on the injured list with an oblique injury, drilled Montgomery’s first delivery of the third inning into the center field bleachers.

Joe Kelly allowed an RBI single to Giancarlo Stanton in the eighth to help the Yankees pull to within 2-1. Stanton was 3-for-4.

New York broke through for the tying run on an RBI sacrifice fly in the ninth as Hendriks blew the save. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had two hits.

Anderson logged his sixth three-hit game of the season for Chicago, while Moncada and Robert each had two hits.

Yadiel Hernandez drove in four runs and drilled one of two Washington home runs as the Nationals ended the visiting Houston Astros’ 11-game winning streak by winning 13-6 on Saturday night.

Maikel Franco homered and knocked in three runs and Nelson Cruz provided three RBIs and three hits the Nationals won for just the second time in their last six games.

Josh Rogers (2-2), with one shutout inning of relief, was the winning pitcher after starter Erick Fedde worked four innings and gave up three runs on five hits.

The Astros had racked up several lopsided victories, but this time they were on the other end as they endured the second-largest margin of defeat this season. Starting pitcher Cristian Javier (2-1) was gone after 3 2/3 innings by giving up seven runs. It was just his third start of the season as Houston reconfigured its rotation.

Jose Siri homered, tripled and posted three hits for Houston, which had matched the longest winning streak in the big leagues this season. Yuli Gurriel also notched three hits.

The Nationals scored in five of the first six innings, building a 13-4 lead by reaching a double-figure run total for the fifth time this season. They had four consecutive frames of multiple runs.

That was more runs allowed by Houston than the total (12 runs) given up during its 11-game winning streak.

Every batter in the lineup except for leadoff man Cesar Hernandez had at least one hit for the Nationals. Washington ended up with 14 hits and drew five walks.

Yadiel Hernandez drove in the game’s first run with a first-inning single. His three-run homer in the third stretched the margin to 4-0, giving him three home runs this season.

In the fourth, Houston’s Gurriel doubled in one run and later scored on Aledmys Diaz’s single.

The Nationals used five relievers for one inning apiece.

Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez homered, and Enrique Hernandez drove in three runs as the visiting Boston Red Sox rolled to an 11-3 win over the struggling Texas Rangers on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

Boston has scored 18 runs in winning its past two contests after averaging 3.5 runs in its previous 31 games.

Martinez extended his hitting streak to 15 games as the Red Sox won for the third time in their past four contests.

Boston starter Rich Hill, who was activated from the COVID injury list earlier in the day, allowed three runs, two earned, in six-plus innings of work. Hill (1-1) struck out four, scattered seven hits and didn’t walk a batter before being lifted after facing three batters in the seventh.

The Red Sox jumped to the lead in the first on a solo home run by Martinez off Texas starter Glenn Otto.

The Rangers tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the frame as Eli White reached on an error by Trevor Story. White stole second and third, and then scored on a single to right by Corey Seager.

Boston ripped off a four-run second inning. Bobby Dalbec brought home Franchy Cordero on a single, Hernandez plated Christian Vazquez with a sacrifice fly and Devers blasted a two-run, two-out homer off the left-field foul pole.

Hernandez’s groundout in the fourth plated Dalbec and expanded the Boston lead to 6-1.

The Red Sox then chased Otto with a three-run fifth, as Cordero, Vazquez and Hernandez had run-scoring hits.

Texas finally touched up Hill in the seventh, when Kole Calhoun’s double brought home Nick Solak and Andy Ibanez. Hirokazu Sawamura relieved for Boston and quelled the minor Rangers’ uprising.

Xander Bogaerts added sacrifice fly in the eighth and Jackie Bradley Jr. finished the Red Sox’s scoring with an RBI single in the ninth.

Otto (1-1) struggled for the first time his fourth start of the season and took the loss, allowing eight runs on eight hits and four walks in four-plus innings. Otto struck out two while his ERA rose from 3.14 to 6.38 with the shaky outing.

Texas managed seven hits by seven different players.

Daniel Vogelbach homered and Zach Thompson pitched six shutout innings Saturday in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 3-1 win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

Diego Castillo added an RBI single for the Pirates, who had dropped the first two games of the four-game series.

Thompson (2-3), who pitched five shutout innings against the Reds in his previous start, carried a no-hitter into the sixth, when Brandon Drury lined a single to right with two outs for the only hit he allowed.

Thompson struck out three and walked three. David Bednar picked up a four-out save, his sixth in six opportunities.

Albert Almora Jr. hit an RBI single for the Reds, who had their season-high three-game winning streak snapped and had won five of six and six of eight.

Cincinnati starter Luis Castillo (0-1) gave up three runs and four hits in five innings, with two strikeouts and a walk.

Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson, who is hitting .324, left in the third after taking a heavy foul tip by Ke’Bryan Hayes to his mask. It appeared it hit him in the chin area. He did not need to be helped off the field. He later returned to watch from the dugout.

In the Pittsburgh second, Vogelbach drew a leadoff walk. Yoshi Tsutsugo flied out. And Jack Suwinski grounded into a fielder’s choice. Rodolfo Castro singled to right, with Suwinski going to third. Luis Castillo was called for a balk on a pickoff attempt toward first, sending Suwinski home for a 1-0 Pirates lead and Castro to second. Diego Castillo’s base hit to left drove in Castro.

Vogelbach led off the bottom of the fourth with his sixth homer, which landed in the shrubbery in center, to increase Pittsburgh’s lead to 3-0.

Cincinnati broke through in the seventh against Wil Crowe. Mike Moustakas walked to lead off the inning. Aramis Garcia, who replaced Stephenson, flared a single to center. Colin Moran hit into a fielder’s choice, with Moustakas going to third. An out later, Almora singled to right to bring home Moustakas and cut the deficit to 3-1.

Teoscar Hernandez and Danny Jansen each hit home runs in a four-run eighth inning as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the host Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 on Saturday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The victory stopped Toronto’s losing streak at five games.

Prior to the solo shot by Hernandez, the game had been tied 1-1 since the first inning. Jansen added a two-run home run after the blast by Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had an RBI single in the uprising.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. scored Toronto’s first run in the top of the first inning. Guerrero singled to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Hernandez followed with a single and Bo Bichette walked to load the bases. Guerrero then scored on a sacrifice fly by Santiago Espinal.

The Rays quickly tied the game as Yandy Diaz led off Tampa Bay’s half of the first inning with a home run.

Tampa Bay starter Ryan Yarbrough, who is being brought along slowly after beginning the season on the injured list, didn’t pitch badly. He went 3 2/3 innings and gave up one earned run and two hits. Yarbrough, who was making his third start of the season, was pulled after walking two straight batters with two outs in the top of the fourth inning.

Toronto starter Hyun Jin Riu went 4 2/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out three.

Tampa Bay’s Manuel Margot extended his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games with a single in the fourth inning. Margot also singled in the sixth inning.

The Miami Marlins slugged three homers in the fourth inning and went on to rout the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 on Saturday night.

Jesus Aguilar started off the power show, homering for the second straight day. Jorge Soler and Brian Anderson also homered.

Aguilar, Anderson and Miguel Rojas led Miami with two RBIs each as the Marlins won for just the third time in 13 games. Eight of those 10 losses were by one run.

Willy Adames and Hunter Renfroe homered for Milwaukee.

Left-hander Trevor Rogers (2-4) earned the win, allowing five hits, no walks and one run in 5 1/3 innings.

Fellow lefty Eric Lauer (3-1) took the loss, allowing six hits, no walks and four runs in five innings. He struck out seven. The Brewers lost for the first time in six games with Lauer as their starter.

For the second straight game, Milwaukee grabbed a quick 1-0 lead on a homer. This time, it was Adames who went deep, and it came on the game’s seventh pitch. Adames, who struck out three times on Friday, swung at a 96 mph fastball and slugged a 408-foot shot to left.

Miami grabbed a 4-1 lead in the fourth. Aguilar (412 feet) and Soler (411 feet) started the frame with consecutive dingers. After a couple of groundouts, Jesus Sanchez singled and Anderson hit a 403-foot homer.

The Marlins scored four more runs in the sixth. Avisail Garcia, who missed half of Friday’s game due to a stomach illness, singled and stole second to start the rally. Sanchez walked, and Garcia scored on second baseman Luis Urias’ fielding error. Rojas added a two-run double, and the Marlins made it 8-1 on Garrett Cooper’s fielder’s choice.

Milwaukee cut its deficit to 8-3 in the eighth as Urias singled to lead off the inning and Renfroe homered on a 1-2 fastball from reliever Dylan Floro. Renfroe’s blast was the longest of the night at 428 feet.

The Marlins extended their lead to 9-3 in the bottom of the eighth. Jacob Stallings drew a seven-pitch walk to begin the inning, went to third on Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s single and scored on Aguilar’s double.

Luis Barrera’s two-out, three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Oakland A’s to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.

The Athletics trailed 3-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth and the Angels had closer Raisel Iglesias on the mound. Iglesias, who entered the game a perfect 8 for 8 in save opportunities, retired the first two batters of the inning and got ahead in the count 0-2 to Ramon Laureano.

Laureano worked the count to 2-2 before hitting a double to right-center.

Iglesias (1-1) then walked Christian Bethancourt, bringing to the plate Barrera, who had one hit all season. But Barrera got ahold of a slider on a 1-1 pitch and hit it over the fence in right field for his first career major league homer and a walk-off win for the A’s.

The Angels were in position to win the game after a two-run eighth inning snapped a 1-1 tie. Anthony Rendon and Mike Trout were not in the lineup to begin the game, but both entered the game as pinch hitters in the inning.

Trout came to the plate with Jared Walsh on first and one out. After Walsh took second on a passed ball with Trout at the plate, Trout was then walked intentionally.

Rendon followed with a pinch-hit single to left field off A’s reliever Zach Jackson to drive in Walsh and put the Angels up 2-1.

Andrew Velazquez followed with a single to left, Trout taking third. But when Oakland left fielder Barrera mishandled the ball for an error, Trout scored and the Angels increased their lead to 3-1.

A’s reliever Lou Trivino (1-2) earned the win. Brandon Marsh led the Angels offense, reaching base four times with three hits and a walk, while Shohei Ohtani added two hits.

Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and walking four. His performance wasn’t unlike his only other start this season, when he threw five scoreless innings and allowed three hits and four walks on May 6 against Washington.

Diaz and the bullpen got support from the Angels defense, which turned four double plays. And Angels center fielder Aaron Whitefield, spelling Trout, made a diving catch of a sinking liner hit by Sean Murphy to end the sixth inning.

A’s starter Paul Blackburn gave up one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings.
