Josh Naylor had two home runs and six RBIs, Josh Bell added a two-run shot and Logan Allen pitched five scoreless innings as the visiting Cleveland Guardians pummeled the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1 on Tuesday.

Amed Rosario and Myles Straw each added an RBI single for the Guardians, who have won the first two games of the series by a combined 21-1.

Allen (4-2), a rookie who was recalled earlier Tuesday to make his 13th career start, gave up one hit while striking out eight and walking one.

Connor Joe homered for the Pirates, who have lost five in a row and nine of 10.

Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller (9-5), making his first start since he pitched one inning in the All-Star Game a week earlier, gave up eight runs and 10 hits in six innings, with one strikeout and two walks.

The time off seemed to lean more toward rust than rest for Keller.

Cleveland scored five runs in the first inning, collecting five straight hits to start the game.

Steven Kwan doubled to right-center and scored on Rosario’s single to right. Jose Ramirez singled to left before Naylor hit a three-run shot to right-center to make it 4-0.

In the third, Gimenez singled to right with one out. Bell hit his 10th homer, to right-center, to up the Guardians’ lead to 7-0.

Cleveland picked up another run in the fourth. Kwan doubled to right with one out, and Rosario and Ramirez walked to load the bases. Naylor’s groundout drove in Kwan for an 8-0 lead.

Pittsburgh got its first hit with one out in the fifth when Jared Triolo singled to left, but he was stranded at first.

Joe homered to center, his seventh, in the sixth to cut it to 8-1.

Naylor hit a two-run homer to right in the ninth. That gave him three homers in the past two games and 15 on the season.

Jason Heyward hit a three-run home run to power a five-run second inning and the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers pulled away for a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.

Rookie right-hander Michael Grove gave up one run over five-plus innings as the Dodgers won for the eighth time in their past nine games and improved to 4-1 on a nine-game road trip to open the second half.

Will Smith had four hits and Freddie Freeman had three for the second consecutive game as the Dodgers took the first two games of the three-game series in their first visit to Baltimore since 2019.

Aaron Hicks amassed two hits and two RBIs for the Orioles, while right-hander Tyler Wells gave up five runs to tie a season high over a season-low two innings. Baltimore’s defense committed four errors.

The Orioles have lost consecutive games following an eight-game winning streak.

Seven of the first eight Dodgers batters in the second inning reached base against Wells, starting with a J.D. Martinez walk and a David Peralta single. Heyward followed with a home run to center field, his ninth blast of the season. Freeman and Smith added RBI singles in the frame.

The Orioles got one of the runs back in the bottom of the second on an RBI double from Hicks.

Grove held the Orioles in check into the sixth inning, when Adley Rutschman led off with a double and Anthony Santander walked. Dodgers right-hander Yency Almonte escaped the jam by retiring Ryan O’Hearn on a lineout, Austin Hays on a popout and Hicks on a flyout.

Los Angeles scored four more times in the seventh, when Miguel Rojas came home on a throwing error, while Max Muncy, Martinez and Chris Taylor drove in runs. The Dodgers’ 10th run came on another throwing error in the eighth inning.

O’Hearn and Hicks drove in runs in the eighth for Baltimore.

Grove (2-2) gave up five hits and two walks while striking out four en route to his first career road win. Wells (7-5) yielded six hits and two walks while fanning two. He lost for the third time in his past five starts.

Dodgers outfielder Jake Marisnick departed in the fourth inning due to left hamstring tightness.

Kyle Schwarber homered for the fourth consecutive game, Bryson Stott added two hits and an RBI and the host Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Tuesday.

Trea Turner and Alec Bohm each contributed two hits and Nick Castellanos had an RBI single for the Phillies, who won their fourth game in a row.

Phillies starter Aaron Nola (9-6) tossed 7 1/3 innings and gave up five hits and three runs, two earned, with six strikeouts and no walks.

Gregory Soto got the last two outs in the eighth, and Craig Kimbrel threw a scoreless ninth inning for his 16th save in 16 chances. The Phillies committed two errors in the ninth, but Raimel Tapia flied out to center with a runner on second to end the game.

Andruw Monasterio led the Brewers with a double, a single, two runs and an RBI. Brice Turang also collected two hits for Milwaukee, which had its four-game winning streak snapped.

Brewers starter Julio Teheran (2-4) lasted only 4 2/3 innings. He gave up seven hits and four runs with three strikeouts and two walks.

The Brewers pulled within 4-3 in the eighth inning. Milwaukee got runners to second and third with two singles and a groundout, prompting Soto to replace Nola. Christian Yelich registered an RBI with a fielder’s choice before William Contreras grounded out to end the inning.

The Phillies went ahead 1-0 in the first when Schwarber launched Teheran’s first pitch of the game for a homer to left. It was Schwarber’s 26th homer of the season.

In the second, Bohm’s RBI groundout gave the Phillies a 2-0 advantage.

Castellanos snapped an 0-for-16 skid with an RBI single in the third for a 3-0 lead.

In the fifth, Milwaukee’s Owen Miller lofted a fly ball to the fence in left, and Schwarber reached up for a stellar catch.

Tapia followed with an two-out infield single to deep shortstop for the Brewers’ first hit, and then he stole second. Monasterio hit an RBI double to center, and Phillies first baseman Darick Hall committed a run-scoring fielding error as Milwaukee closed within 3-2.

Stott delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the fifth for a 4-2 advantage.

The Texas Rangers signed No. 4 overall draft pick Wyatt Langford on Tuesday, rewarding the outfielder with an $8 million bonus.

It is one of the largest bonuses given to a drafted player. The Pittsburgh Pirates signed top overall pick Paul Skenes, a pitcher, to a record $9.2 million bonus earlier Tuesday.

Langford, 21, hit 47 homers over the past two seasons while starring at Florida.

“We think he’s the perfect fit for what we’re building here, who he is as a person, his winning pedigree and certainly the talent as a player,” Rangers general manager Chris Young said. “I think it’s not often you have the opportunity to draft a player as accomplished as Wyatt, and certainly our goal is not to be picking at the top of the draft ever again.

“But that said, this was a great year to be picking at the top of the draft.”

Langford batted .355 with a school-record 26 homers in 2022 as a sophomore. This season, he hit 21 homers while batting .373 and earning unanimous first-team All-American honors.

The success came after Langford didn’t start a single game as a freshman (four appearances, 1-for-4).

“It all went by so fast, I feel like I was first stepping on the campus in the fall just a few days ago,” Langford said. “I couldn’t have had a better college experience. Even though I didn’t play in my freshman year, that kind of made me who I was. I mean, if I don’t have to go through that, I don’t have that ability to go out there and play for two years. It was my dream and is a dream come true. And it’s gotten me to where I am today.

“It’s a little surreal right now, but super exciting.”

Langford’s Florida squad lost to LSU last month in the College World Series.

Joc Pederson had a go-ahead double in a two-run 10th inning as the visiting San Francisco Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Tuesday in the conclusion of Monday’s suspended game for their sixth straight win.

Following a weather delay of 1 hour, 55 minutes from heavy rain and thunderstorms, Monday’s suspended game resumed in the top of the eighth with the score tied, 2-2.

Pederson doubled home automatic runner Brett Wisely, and Michael Conforto grounded into a run-scoring fielder’s choice to score Pederson and give San Francisco a two-run cushion against Ian Gibaut (8-2), Cincinnati’s fifth reliever of the game.

Elly De La Cruz worked a leadoff walk in the ninth against submarine reliever and winner Tyler Rogers (3-4) and stole second after an out call was reversed by replay.

But before the next pitch, Rogers picked off De La Cruz, who was caught in a rundown between second and third for the first out. Rogers retired the next two batters to send the game to the 10th.

Camilo Doval retired all three batters faced in the 10th for his major-league-leading 29th save in 31 chances.

The Giants had a golden opportunity with runners at second and third with one out in the eighth. But reliever Lucas Sims entered the game and struck out LaMonte Wade Jr. and Mike Yastrzemski to work out of the jam.

Jonathan India homered and fell just a triple shy of the cycle for the Reds, who lost for a fifth straight game and for the sixth time in seven games.

The suspended game was restarted 90 minutes prior to Tuesday’s regularly scheduled game.

Giants starter Logan Webb held the Reds to a pair of solo home runs and four hits over seven innings, throwing just 86 pitches in the process.

It was San Francisco’s 14th straight game where its starters allowed three runs or less.

Austin Slater and Wilmer Flores belted homers off Cincinnati starter Brandon Williamson. Slater’s traveled an estimated 442 feet off the power stacks in right center with two outs in the third.

The game also marked the major league debut of another highly touted Cincinnati prospect in Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The rookie, batting seventh and serving as the designated hitter, flied out to right in his first at-bat to end the second inning and finished 0-for-3.
