NEW YORK — Nathan Eovaldi pitched effectively into the seventh innings, Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira hit early home runs and the New York Yankees concluded a 10-game homestand with a 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
Eovaldi (9-6) threw a season-high 118 pitches and allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings, highlighting the outing by getting through a bases-loaded jam in the fourth unscathed.
Beltran and Teixeira hit two-out home runs in the opening two innings off Jeff Samardzija (9-6) before the Yankees added three runs in the fifth. Jacoby Ellsbury had a double-play grounder which scored a run, Starlin Castro added an RBI single and Didi Gregorius contributed a run-scoring double.
Mets 3, Marlins 0
MIAMI — Steven Matz pitched six scoreless innings and Jose Reyes drilled a go-ahead RBI triple to lead New York over Miami.
Reyes’ second triple since being activated on July 5 drove in the game’s first run. The Mets added two in the eighth on RBI singles from Yoenis Cespedes and James Loney.
Matz (8-6), who had been 0-5 with a 4.79 ERA in his previous nine outings, turned things around by striking out six and allowing just four hits and two walks. He got eight ground ball outs and four fly-ball outs.
Blue Jays 2, Mariners 0
TORONTO — J.A. Happ allowed one hit over six innings and Edwin Encarnacion hit a home run as Toronto defeated Seattle.
The win was the 13th of the season for Happ, a career high for one season. Happ (13-3) walked four and hit a batter besides yielding the one hit. The left-hander struck out six before being replaced by left-hander Brett Cecil to open the seventh.
The Blue Jays averted a three-game sweep at the hands of the Mariners by winning the finale.
White Sox 4, Tigers 3 (suspended game)
CHICAGO — Adam Eaton hit a walk-off single to lift Chicago over Detroit in the conclusion of a suspended game.
Eaton’s single to left field finished a game that started Saturday evening before it was suspended because of rain. The teams resumed play with the score even at 3 in the top of the ninth inning.
White Sox right-hander David Robertson (1-2) earned the victory after pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
