Both home runs came off Kenley Jansen (3-5). Flores homered in both of his at-bats after entering as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.

Paul Skenes gave up three runs on four hits over 4 1/3 innings for Pittsburgh, while four relievers held Detroit scoreless over the final 4 2/3 innings. Mason Montgomery (5-3) worked around two hits in the top of the ninth.

Padres starter Michael King (8-9) permitted four hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Gavin Sheets drove in San Diego's runs.

Mariners 7, Brewers 5

Dominic Canzone and Taylor Ward each drove in two runs during a four-run first inning, and visiting Seattle claimed an early seven-run lead before holding on to beat Milwaukee.

Josh Naylor had three hits and two RBIs for the Mariners, who won for the third time in four games and bounced back from a 22-0 loss in the series opener on Tuesday. Logan Gilbert (10-7) allowed three runs on four hits over five-plus innings. Andres Munoz tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his 23rd save.

Joey Ortiz slugged a two-run homer and matched his career high with four RBIs for the Brewers, whose three-game winning streak ended. Dustin May (6-8) was tagged for seven runs on ​seven hits in two innings.

Miguel Vargas and Braden Montgomery each had two of the nine hits for the White Sox, who salvaged the finale of the three-game series and gained a split of the six-game season set against the Cubs. Urquidy (2-1) relieved starter Sean Newcomb and struck out eight of the first 10 batters he faced.

Clay Holmes (5-6) permitted one run on six hits in 5 1/3 innings as the Cubs lost for the third time in five games.

Diamondbacks 8, Red Sox 7 (10 innings)

An RBI single from Nolan Arenado and three walks allowed Arizona to score twice in the 10th inning and avoid a three-game sweep at Boston.

After Arenado's go-ahead single, the third straight walk from Jovani Moran (2-3), drawn by Jose Fernandez, made it 7-5. The Red Sox got a run on a groundout in the bottom of the 10th, but Jonathan Loaisiga (4-3) retired Caleb Durbin on ​a popup for the final out.

Yankees 5, Orioles 3

Ben Rice homered and George Lombard Jr. drove in the go-ahead run as New York pulled out a victory against host Baltimore.

Jordan Walker homered for the Cardinals. Liberatore had a one-hit shutout through five innings. He wound up striking out nine while throwing six innings of three-run ball.
