DETROIT — Steve Cishek’s wild pitch to Ian Kinsler with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th inning scored pinch-runner Cameron Maybin from third base to give the Detroit Tigers a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday and a sweep of their four-game series.
The first pitch to Kinsler from Cishek (2-4) was away and in the dirt, with Maybin scoring when the ball eluded catcher Chris Ianetta.
Kyle Ryan (3-2) picked up his second win in as many games with one inning of scoreless relief.
Nelson Cruz’s second home run of the game and 18th of the season came off Bruce Rondon’s first pitch in relief of Daniel Norris to open the sixth and tied the score 4-4.
Red Sox 8, White Sox 7 (10)
BOSTON — Craig Kimbrel pitched out of a bases-loaded, nobody-out jam in the top of the 10th inning and Xander Bogaerts singled home the winner in the bottom half as Boston averted a four-game sweep.
The White Sox were gunning for their first four-game sweep at Fenway Park since 1927 and handed the game away both offensive and defensively.
After Kimbrel (1-3) performed his magic act, striking out the last two hitters, Marco Hernandez led off the bottom of the 10th with a walk against Matt Purke (0-1) and was forced at second by Mookie Betts. Dustin Pedroia worked a 3-2 walk and Bogaerts ended the game by dropping his fourth career walk-off hit into short right-center field.
Jose Abreu cracked a three-run homer to give the White Sox a 7-5 lead in the seventh, but the Red Sox scored runs in the seventh, eighth and 10th to escape.
Giants 5, Pirates 3
PITTSBURGH — Joe Panik had a bases-clearning triple in the third inning that propelled San Francisco over Pittsburgh at PNC Park.
Mac Williamson also drove in a run in the third and another in the fifth with his second career home run.
San Francisco (47-27) took three of four in the series and has won 11 of their past 12 games.
Phillies 7, Twins 3
MINNEAPOLIS — Freddy Galvis had a career-high five RBIs to lead Philadelphia over Minnesota at Target Field.
The win snapped a nine-game losing streak for the Phillies, giving them their first win since June 13.
Galvis knocked in a run on a safety squeeze in the second inning and an RBI triple in the sixth. He capped his day with a three-run homer off Kevin Jepsen in the eighth.
Ryan Howard also homered and had his first two-hit day since the end of April. Cesar Hernandez contributed four hits and a walk and scored three times.
