Nico Hoerner lofted a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning for the host Chicago Cubs, who completed a three-game sweep of the reeling New York Mets with a 2-1 win on Sunday afternoon.

Michael Conforto, who spent the first seven seasons of his major league career with the Mets, forced extra innings by lacing a pinch-hit RBI double in the ninth against New York closer Devin Williams for the Cubs, who have won five straight and six of seven.

MJ Melendez homered in the fifth for the Mets, who have lost 11 straight — the longest skid for the team since an 11-game losing streak from Aug. 28-Sept. 8, 2004. New York hasn’t lost 12 straight since Aug. 10-23, 2002.

Chicago left-hander Caleb Thielbar (2-2) stranded a pair of runners in the top of the 10th before the Cubs’ automatic runner Pete Crow-Armstrong moved to third on a wild pitch by Craig Kimbrel (0-1), who struck out Dansby Swanson. Hoerner followed with a fly ball to medium right that easily scored Armstrong.

Yankees 7, Royals 0

Aaron Judge and Ben Rice homered off Cole Ragans in the opening two innings, and host New York continued its dominance over Kansas City with its 10th straight regular-season win in the series.

Trent Grisham added a three-run homer in the fifth and Austin Wells added a sacrifice fly in the first inning after Judge’s two-run homer, his ninth of the season. Ryan Weathers (1-2) earned his first win as a Yankee, scattering five hits over 7 1/3 innings.

Ragans (0-4) tied a career-worst seven runs allowed in 4 1/3 innings. Ragans also issued a career-high eight walks and yielded four hits while throwing six strikeouts for the Royals, who have lost seven straight and 10 of 12.

Tigers 6, Red Sox 2

Dillon Dingler finished a triple shy of the cycle on a 4-for-5, four-RBI day and Framber Valdez pitched six innings of one-run ball, leading Detroit to a win over host Boston.

Detroit rocked four total extra-base hits — including fifth-inning homers by Jahmai Jones and Dingler — off Boston’s Garrett Crochet (2-3), who had allowed a career-worst 11 runs in his last start on April 13. The southpaw did strike out eight Tigers but allowed five runs on seven hits through five frames in his second straight setback.

Matt Vierling and Javier Baez also had multiple hits for the Tigers. Valdez (2-1) struck out seven across his six innings of three-hit ball, with a Willson Contreras home run marking the only Boston run against him.

Braves 4, Phillies 2

Michael Harris II collected three hits, including a home run, as visiting Atlanta secured a three-game sweep of Philadelphia Phillies.

Grant Holmes worked into the fifth inning and five relievers put up zeroes for Atlanta, which has won nine of its last 11. The Braves outscored the Phillies 16-3 in the series.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, has dropped nine of its last 11. The Phillies managed only six hits, highlighted by Kyle Schwarber’s two-run homer.

Pirates 6, Rays 3

Mitch Keller (2-1) pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs to help lead Pittsburgh to a win over Tampa Bay.

Bryan Reynolds backed up the pitching with two hits and three RBI to lead Pittsburgh’s bats, while Spencer Horwitz and Nick Yorke each hit solo home runs. The Pirates did it with the long ball and small ball, as they recorded three bunt singles in a game for the first time since 1998.

Rays starter Shane McClanahan (1-2) allowed four runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings. Junior Caminero hit a solo home run.

Nationals 3, Giants 0

San Francisco’s Robbie Ray (2-3) gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings. Rafael Devers and Drew Gilbert had two hits each for the Giants, but the team went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.

Guardians 8, Orioles 4

Jose Ramirez swatted two solo shots for his franchise-record 28th multi-homer game and Brayan Rocchio went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs as Cleveland defeated Baltimore for the third time in their four-game set.

Matt Festa (1-0) got the final out in the fifth as he, Peyton Pallette, Erik Sabrowski and Shawn Armstrong combined for 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Starter Joey Cantillo allowed four runs (three earned) with six strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings.

Ramirez hit both of his homers off Orioles starter Trevor Rogers (2-2), who gave up a season-high six runs (five earned) and six hits. Taylor Ward cracked a three-run homer, his first with the Orioles, to highlight a four-run fifth.

Marlins 5, Brewers 3

Eury Perez scattered three hits, one walk and one unearned run over six strong innings as host Miami snapped a four-game losing streak with the win over Milwaukee.

Perez (2-1) fanned seven and was staked to a 3-0 lead in the first as the Marlins took advantage of two hits, one walk, one hit-by-pitch, one error and one wild pitch. Kyle Stowers posted two hits in his season debut while Liam Hicks added two hits and one RBI.

Jacob Misiorowski (1-2) struck out nine over five innings, but allowed four hits and three runs (one earned). Gary Sanchez stroked a two-run single in the eighth for the Brewers, who had their four-game winning streak come to a close.

Victor Caratini posted two hits and two RBIs for the Twins, who took a 3-1 lead into the ninth. Garrett Acton (1-1) gave up just one hit and one walk over 1 2/3 innings, but was responsible for the three unearned runs in the 10th.

Masyn Winn, whose two-out single sparked a four-run uprising in the fifth inning, delivered a bases-clearing double in the top of the 10th that lifted St. Louis over host Houston for a three-game interleague series sweep.

Winn plated Ivan Herrera, Jordan Walker and Ramon Urias by driving an 0-1 fastball from Astros left-hander Bryan King (0-1) into the left field corner. Winn, a Houston-area native, finished 5-for-15 with seven RBIs in the series.

The Astros countered the Cardinals’ four-run fifth by scoring three runs with two outs in the eighth. Yordan Alvarez ignited the comeback with his third home run of the series and 10th of the season before Jose Altuve singled and Christian Walker worked a 10-pitch walk. Isaac Paredes hit a two-run single off St. Louis closer Riley O’Brien (3-0) that tied the game at 4-4.

Padres 2, Angels 1

Michael King allowed one hit over five shutout innings en route to his third straight victory and Mason Miller struck out two during a perfect ninth to pick up his eighth save as San Diego edged Los Angeles in the rubber game of their three-game series in Anaheim, Calif.

King (3-1) walked four, hit a batter and struck out six before departing after throwing 105 pitches, 63 for strikes. Miller extended his scoreless inning streak that dates back to Aug. 6, 2025, to 32 2/3 innings, one inning short of the Padres record set by Cla Meredith in 2006. San Diego has won five straight series while improving to 13-2 over its last 15 games.

Angels right-hander Walbert Urena (0-2) took the loss in his first major league start, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings while striking out eight.

Blue Jays 10, Diamondbacks 4

Vladimir Guerrero had three hits and two RBIs to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.

Jorge Barrosa hit a two-run homer and Adrian Del Castillo had two hits and an RBI double for the D-backs, who had won four in a row and 10 of 13. Barrosa replaced right fielder Corbin Carroll in the fifth after Carroll left with low back tightness, the Diamondbacks said. Manager Torey Lovullo said afterward that Carroll is fine and is scheduled to start their next game Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Mariners 5, Rangers 2

Bryan Woo pitched seven strong innings for his first victory of the season and was backed by three home runs as host Seattle defeated Texas to take two of three games in the series.

Rob Refsnyder, J.P. Crawford and Randy Arozarena went deep to account for all the runs for the Mariners. Right-hander Woo (1-2) allowed two runs on four hits, walking one and striking out six. Andres Munoz struck out three in the ninth — the first reached base on a wild pitch — and got Evan Carter to ground out to first to earn his third save.

The Rangers finally got to Woo in the seventh as Corey Seager led off with a walk, Wyatt Langford singled on a soft liner to left and, with one out, Joc Pederson was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Josh Jung’s sacrifice fly to right spoiled the shutout bid and Carter’s double made it 5-2. Woo got Smith to ground to second to end the inning.
