Danny Jansen hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting New York Yankees 3-0 Wednesday night.

Jansen’s fourth home run of 2023 came against Wandy Peralta (2-1). The one-out blast scored automatic runner Cavan Biggio and Whit Merrifield, who reached first on an Anthony Volpe error.

It gave the Blue Jays their first win in the four-game series after the Yankees won the first two.

Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out six in six-plus innings.

Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt entered the game on a 20-inning scoreless streak that included a shutout in his previous start. He extended the streak to 27 with seven innings of three-hit ball, allowing one walk and striking out seven.

The Blue Jays failed to score in the third after loading the bases with two outs on two singles and a walk.

Toronto mounted a threat in the sixth when Brandon Belt walked with one out and Alejandro Kirk singled. But Jansen grounded into a double play to end the inning.

Santiago Espinal and George Springer opened the bottom of the seventh with singles. Clay Holmes replaced Cole and finished the inning with a foul out, a strikeout and a groundout.

Yimi Garcia walked Aaron Judge with two outs in the eighth. He was replaced by Tim Mayza, who walked Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu before striking out pinch hitter Volpe.

Belt singled to lead off the bottom of the eighth against Jimmy Cordero. Pinch runner Cavan Biggio reached second on Merrifield’s infield single. Kirk lined to shortstop and Biggio was doubled off second. Jansen walked before Espinal flied out.

Michael King pitched around two walks in the bottom of the ninth.

Jordan Romano (3-2), who pitched a perfect top of the ninth, allowed only an intentional walk to Judge in the 10th.

Toronto star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (sore right knee) did not play Wednesday and is day-to-day. Center fielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) also did not play.

New York put right-handed reliever Ian Hamilton (right groin strain) on the 15-day injured list and recalled left-hander Nick Ramirez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado could be headed to the injured list because of a small fracture in his left hand, but there is a chance he could remain on the active roster, manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday.

Machado was hit on the hand by a pitch from Kansas City’s Brad Keller on Monday night. He briefly remained in the game before leaving, and Machado did not play in games Tuesday and Wednesday — both home losses to the Royals.

“So the initial X-ray didn’t show anything,” Melvin said Wednesday. “He had a CT scan and an MRI yesterday that showed a small fracture on the metacarpal. We don’t think it’s an IL situation, but we’re going to probably go through the off day (on Thursday), see how he feels and see where we are on the weekend.”

The Padres return to action for a three-series against the visiting Boston Red Sox starting Friday.

“I’m not sure how my body’s going to heal,” Machado said, “so just take it day by day, see what it is, hopefully come back after this off day and it’s a lot better.”

Machado and Melvin are hoping the star third baseman, who hasn’t been on the IL since 2014, keeps that streak alive.

“Swelling’s gone down tremendously,” Machado said Wednesday. “We definitely have more range of motion today.”

Machado is batting .231 with seven doubles, five home runs and 19 RBIs in 40 games. He has a .282 on-base percentage and a .372 slugging percentage.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen threw a warmup toss on Wednesday in Oakland that accidentally struck and killed a bird.

Gallen was warming up in the outfield prior to the Diamondbacks’ 5-3 win over the Athletics when his curveball connected with a bird. Bally Sports Arizona’s television crew caught the moment on video and aired it during the broadcast.

The unfortunate occurrence puts Gallen in the company of two Hall of Famers, Randy Johnson and Dave Winfield.

Johnson was playing for the Diamondbacks during a spring training game in 2001 when a bird flew just in front of home plate and was struck by a pitch.

Police got involved when Winfield, then playing for the New York Yankees, fired a warmup toss in August 1983 that killed a seagull in Toronto. Winfield was charged with animal cruelty and wound up at a Toronto police station, but the charges were later dropped.

Austin Hays homered, Kyle Bradish pitched into the seventh inning and the host Baltimore Orioles defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-1 on Wednesday night.

The Orioles lead the four-game series 2-1 and have won 10 of their last 12 versus the Angels overall.

Anthony Santander and Gunnar Henderson each had two hits for Baltimore, which scored all of its runs via two-out hits.

Bradish (2-1) turned in his second straight strong start, allowing one run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five and did not walk a batter. That follows a start in which he gave up one unearned run in six innings against the Pirates.

Yennier Cano pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Felix Bautista worked the ninth for his 11th save, striking out Shohei Ohtani with a runner on first and one out.

Mike Trout hit his ninth homer of the season for Los Angeles, which managed just four hits.

Angels starter Griffin Canning (2-2) worked 5 1/3 innings. He gave up three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four.

Henderson led off the Baltimore second with a triple. Hays walked and then third baseman Gio Urshela’s error on Adam Frazier’s sacrifice bunt attempt loaded the bases with no outs. Canning got out of the jam when Terrin Vavra grounded into a 1-2-3 double play and Joey Ortiz struck out.

In the bottom of the third, Cedric Mullins led off with a walk and went to second on a wild pitch. Mullins went to third on a groundout and scored on Ryan Mountcastle’s two-out single.

The lead was short-lived, as Trout homered to center on a 1-2 pitch leading off the fourth.

Vavra reached on a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the fourth and stole second. With two outs, Mullins grounded a single to right, scoring Vavra to make it 2-1.

Hays lined a homer to right with two outs in the fifth to increase the lead to 3-1.

Jorge Soler slugged a go-ahead, two-run homer for the second straight game as the host Miami Marlins defeated the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Miami improved to 14-1 in one-run games.

On Tuesday, Soler hit a walk-off homer with two outs in the ninth inning. On Wednesday, his homer was much less dramatic, putting the Marlins on top in the fourth.

Miami also got contributions from Jean Segura and Luis Arraez, who each went 2-for-4. Arraez leads the majors in batting average (.389). Bryan De La Cruz added an RBI double while extending his hitting streak to 11 games.

Washington’s Corey Dickerson, who spent 2020 and part of 2021 with the Marlins, went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs and two RBIs. Teammate Jeimer Candelario went 3-for-4.

Edward Cabrera (3-3) earned the win, allowing five hits and two runs in five innings. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

Dylan Floro pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his third save. Four Marlins relievers combined to allow just one unearned run.

MacKenzie Gore (3-3) took the loss, allowing five hits, two walks and four runs. He struck out seven in 5 1/3 innings.

Washington opened the scoring in the second inning as Candelario singled, and Dickerson got ahold of a 97-mph sinker, sending it 432 feet to right center for a 2-0 lead.

Miami cut its deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the second. De La Cruz walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch, took third on Segura’s single and scored on Yuli Gurriel’s sacrifice fly.

The Marlins grabbed a 3-2 lead in the fourth as Arraez singled, and Soler got a first-pitch fastball and banged it 407 feet for a two-run homer to center.

Miami extended its advantage to 4-2 in the sixth as Soler walked and scored from first on De La Cruz’s one-out double that bounced off the right-center-field wall on one hop.

Washington cut its deficit to 4-3 in the seventh. Dickerson singled and advanced on Ildemaro Vargas’ infield single before taking third on shortstop Jon Berti’s throwing error. Dickerson then scored on Alex Call’s groundout.

New York Yankees right-hander Domingo German has been issued a 10-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for violating Major League Baseball’s policies regarding the use of foreign substances.

German will not appeal the league’s ruling and will begin his suspension on Wednesday.

After throwing three perfect innings against the host Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night, German was ejected ahead of the fourth after umpires checked his glove and hand for sticky substances. He struck out two prior to his departure.

Crew chief James Hoye said German’s hand was the “stickiest I’ve ever felt,” adding the substance was “definitely not rosin.”

German is the second pitcher to a receive a 10-game suspension for the use of an illegal substance this season, joining the New York Mets’ Max Scherzer, who was tossed from a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in mid-April.

In nine starts this season, German is 2-3 with a 3.75 ERA.

Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was not in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the New York Yankees due to right knee discomfort.

Guerrero underwent an MRI exam and Toronto manager John Schneider said no structural damage was detected.

Guerrero is considered day-to-day, according to Schneider.

The 24-year-old Guerrero appeared to get injured while fielding a ball in the eighth inning of Tuesday’s game. The first baseman was removed prior to the start of the ninth.

Guerrero is batting .312 with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 40 games this season.

Vinnie Pasquantino hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer to highlight a three-run sixth inning Wednesday afternoon, leading the visiting Kansas City Royals to a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in the rubber match of a three-game series.

MJ Melendez, who drove in the Royals’ first run with a fourth-inning double, and Maikel Garcia followed Pasquantino’s blast with back-to-back doubles for Kansas City’s final run and a 4-1 lead.

Bobby Witt Jr. scored on Melendez’s double in the fourth and on Pasquantino’s eighth homer in the sixth.

Josh Taylor (1-1), the third of seven pitchers deployed by Kansas City in a bullpen game, was credited with the win. Scott Barlow picked up the save in a second straight game to give him six for the season as the Royals claimed just their third series of the season.

Royals pitchers had 13 strikeouts — five coming with runners in scoring position.

Padres starter Yu Darvish, who gave up four runs on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings, took the loss to fall to 2-3.

The Padres have lost nine of their last 11 games.

Jake Cronenworth tied the game at 1-1 in the fifth with the Padres’ first homer in 38 innings — Cronenworth’s first since April 15. However, the Padres managed to score just two runs from three bases-loaded situations — once with no outs in the sixth and twice with one out in the fourth and seventh.

San Diego center fielder Trent Grisham struck out four times — twice with the bases loaded and one out and once with runners on second and third with no outs.

And the Padres’ seventh inning ended with Juan Soto thrown out at home while trying to score on a two-out, bases-loaded Aroldis Chapman pitch that sailed to the backstop and ricocheted back to catcher Salvador Perez, who made the tag.

Of the nine walks issued by Royals pitchers, only one scored. The Padres stranded 12 runners, including six in scoring position. They were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Wilmer Flores hit a two-run single to headline a three-run eighth inning and lift the host San Francisco Giants over the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-4, on Wednesday.

Casey Schmitt drove in two runs and Brandon Crawford had an RBI single.

Giants starter Ross Stripling left after 3 1/3 innings with low back tightness. Stripling gave up four hits and three runs, with two strikeouts and one walk.

John Brebbia (2-0) earned the win in relief.

Camilo Doval allowed three baserunners but tossed a scoreless ninth inning for his 11th save in 12 opportunities. Doval earned saves in all three games.

Trea Turner struck out to end the game.

Bryson Stott hit a solo home run and J.T. Realmuto doubled, singled and drove in two runs for the Phillies, who have lost four straight. Turner went 2-for-5.

Phillies starter Taijuan Walker lasted only two-thirds of an inning, allowing four hits and four runs along with two walks and one strikeout. Walker was replaced by Matt Strahm.

Gregory Soto (1-3) took the loss.

J.D. Davis and Mitch Haniger each produced pinch-hit singles to open the bottom of the eighth inning against Soto. Joey Bart then dropped down a bunt single to load the bases. LaMonte Wade Jr.’s fielder’s choice grounder resulted in the lead runner thrown out at home. Estrada followed with an RBI single to center for a 5-4 lead.

Michael Conforto’s grounder resulted in Bart being thrown out at home. But Flores responded with a two-run single to left for a 7-4 advantage.

The Giants loaded the bases with two outs in the first and Schmitt lofted a two-run single to right for a 2-0 advantage. Sabol and Crawford each added RBI singles and the Giants led by four runs.

Realmuto laced a two-run double down the left field line in the fourth to get the Phillies within 4-2. It extended Realmuto’s hitting streak to 10 games. Alec Bohm then added a sacrifice fly, and the deficit was reduced to 4-3.

Stott ripped a solo homer to right in the fifth to tie the game at 4.

The Texas Rangers activated star shortstop Corey Seager from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday night’s game against the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Seager missed the past 31 games due to a left hamstring strain.

Texas optioned catcher Sam Huff to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Seager was batting .359 with one home run and four RBIs in 11 games prior to the injury. The three-time All-Star was injured while running the bases against the Kansas City Royals on April 11.

Seager, 29, went 2-for-8 with two RBIs in a three-game rehab stint at Double-A Frisco. He was hoping to rejoin the Rangers on Monday but came down with a stomach illness.

Last season, his first with Texas, Seager smacked a career-best 33 homers while batting .245 with 83 RBIs in 151 games.

Seager spent his first seven major league seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers before leaving as a free agent. He signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with Texas following the 2021 season.

Huff, 25, was 2-for-10 with one RBI in five games for the Rangers.
