Christian Vásquez, Carlos Correa and Trevor Larnach each drove in a run for the Twins, who have won two in a row after dropping five straight games.

Paddack (5-3) allowed six hits and struck out six in 6 1/3 innings. He pitched out of trouble in the first inning when Colorado’s Charlie Blackmon singled to lead off the game and eventually ended up at third base. But the Twins right-hander struck out Ryan McMahon to strand Blackmon on third.

Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson (2-8) took the loss despite allowing just four hits in 6 2/3 innings. One of the two runs he allowed was unearned.

BREWERS 3, BLUE JAYS 1

MILWAUKEE (Ä¢¹½Ó°Ôº) — Colin Rea allowed just three hits while working seven innings for his longest outing in eight years, leading Milwaukee to a victory over Toronto.

Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames went deep for the Brewers, who had gone without a homer in their last five games. Milwaukee’s last homer before Monday came a week ago when Rhys Hoskins went deep against his former team in a 3-1 loss at Philadelphia.

Rea (5-2) threw 85 pitches, struck out four and allowed one run, on a third-inning homer by Alejandro Kirk.

Spencer Horwitz’s two-out single brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth before Brewers second baseman Brice Turang made an outstanding play to end the game. Turang went far to his right to field a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounder up the middle and throw him out at first.

Trevor Megill worked the ninth for his 10th save in 11 opportunities.

YANKEES 4, ROYALS 2

Juan Soto rejoined the Yankees lineup after missing a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers because of left forearm inflammation. He went 1 for 3 with a run and a walk as the designated hitter.

AL-best New York (47-21) won for the 10th time in 13 games and improved to 15-1 against the AL Central. Aaron Boone got his 556th victory, tying Billy Martin for seventh among Yankees managers.

PADRES 6, ATHLETICS 1

SAN DIEGO (Ä¢¹½Ó°Ôº) — Fernando Tatis Jr. homered to extend his career-best hitting streak to 16 games, the longest current streak in the majors, and Dylan Cease won for the first time in six starts as San Diego beat Oakland.

Jake Cronenworth also homered for the Padres, who have hit multiple homers in four straight games.

The A’s have lost nine of their last 12 games and are a season-worst 16 games under .500.

GIANTS 4, ASTROS 3, 10 INNINGS

SAN FRANCISCO (Ä¢¹½Ó°Ôº) — Austin Slater lined the game-winning single into left field with one out in the 10th inning, rallying San Francisco from two runs down in the inning to beat Houston.

Slater’s second career game-winning hit came off Rafael Montero (1-2) after he also had one on April 8, 2022, against the Marlins.

Randy Rodríguez (2-1) recorded the final out of the 10th for the win.

Houston had gone ahead by two runs in the top half on a sacrifice fly by Victor Caratini that scored runner Joey Loperfido from second base and Alex Bregman’s RBI single.

The Astros challenged that Trey Cabbage was called out at first on a bunt against Erik Miller to begin the 10th and the call was overturned on replay review for a single.

Montero started the 10th and immediately gave up Brett Wisely’s RBI single then Heliot Ramos singled when shortstop Jeremy Pena had to reach and booted his skipping grounder. Patrick Bailey followed with an RBI single that made it 3-3.

MARINERS 8, WHITE SOX 4

SEATTLE (Ä¢¹½Ó°Ôº) — Cal Raleigh hit a game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning and Seattle stormed back from a four-run deficit in the eighth to beat the Chicago White Sox.

Raleigh’s walk-off drive came against Jordan Leasure (0-2) after the Mariners scored four times in the eighth to tie it.

Dominic Canzone led off with a homer against starter Erick Fedde before Michael Kopech gave up three runs and four hits. Mitch Haniger knocked in two with a bases-loaded single, and Luke Raley drove in the tying run with a bunt single.

Seattle’s offense struggled early, as both pitchers got off to strong starts. Fedde allowed just three hits over his first five shutout innings, and Mariners starter Logan Gilbert permitted just two hits in the same span.
