MARLINS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 4

PHOENIX (AP) — Otto Lopez hit a go-ahead, two-run single and Kyle Stowers added a three-run double during an eighth-inning rally and Miami completed a three-game sweep by beating Arizona.

The streaking Marlins have won seven in a row.

The Diamondbacks took a 2-1 lead into the eighth inning, but lefty Jalen Beeks walked the bases loaded with two outs. Lopez then hit a line drive into left that scored Liam Hicks and Dane Myers for a 3-2 lead. Agustin Ramirez was intentionally walked to load the bases again and Stowers hit a bases-clearing double to push the advantage to 6-2.

Arizona’s pitchers walked 10 batters and the team dropped its fourth straight game to fall below .500 at 41-42.

Beeks (2-1) gave up five earned runs and recorded just two outs, one day after giving up three earned runs and recording one out in an 8-7 loss.

NATIONALS 7, ANGELS 4, 11 INNINGS

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — CJ Abrams’ two-run triple capped a three-run 11th inning, and Washington’s James Wood became the sixth player in MLB history to be intentionally walked four times as the Nationals beat Los Angeles.

Daylen Lile led off the 11th with a single off Connor Brogdon (1-1) and automatic runner Brady House advanced to third. Drew Miles doubled and drove in the go-ahead run before Abrams tripled, giving the Nationals their first series win Anaheim since 2005 — their first season after relocating from Montreal.

Wood went 1 for 2 and then was given a free pass his next four times up. Closer Kyle Finnegan (1-2) pitched three hitless innings for the win.

Lile doubled off the glove of Nolan Schanuel at first to begin the ninth against Angels closer Kenley Jansen, and Miles bunted him to third. Young singled for a 4-all tie.

TIGERS 3, TWINS 0

DETROIT (AP) — Tarik Skubal struck out 13 hitters in seven innings and Detroit beat Minnesota.

Skubal (10-2) only allowed one hit — a clean single to right by Ty France in the fifth inning — as he improved to 10-0 with a 1.74 ERA in his last 15 starts. The last double-digit streak in one season by a Detroit lefty was Earl Whitehill’s 11-start stretch in 1930.

The strikeouts matched Skubal’s career high, last done on May 25 in his 94-pitch shutout against the Guardians.

Chris Paddack (3-7) gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings for the Twins.

The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on Kerry Carpenter’s solo homer in the first inning, and he added a RBI triple in the fifth before leaving the game with an apparent leg injury. Riley Greene hit a solo homer in the fourth.

Will Vest pitched the ninth to pick up his 13th save.
