BLUE JAYS 9, BREWERS 7, 10 INNINGS

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doubled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as Toronto beat Milwaukee and handed the Brewers their sixth consecutive loss.

Milwaukee’s skid is its longest since June 2023, when the Brewers also dropped six straight. The Brewers allowed seven runs over the last three innings to squander a 4-2 advantage.

After a wild ninth inning in which neither closer could hold the lead, Toronto pulled ahead for good in the 10th.

Guerrero’s one-out double off the left-field wall against Garret Anderson (0-1) drove in automatic runner Ernie Clement. After Anderson intentionally walked Jesús Sánchez, Myles Straw added a two-run double to make it 9-6.

Milwaukee brought the tying run to first base in the bottom of the 10th before Louis Varland (1-1) struck out Gary Sánchez to end the game.

Jake Bauers hit a three-run homer and Sánchez added a solo shot for Milwaukee. Andrés Giménez and Daulton Varsho homered for Toronto.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals rookie JJ Wetherholt homered twice, second baseman Juan Brito allowed Masyn Winn’s potential game-ending grounder to bounce into right field and St. Louis stopped a three-game losing streak when it rallied to beat Cleveland in 10 innings.

Wetherholt had his first multi-homer game, going deep for the first time since homering in his debut on opening day. His solo homer off Joey Cantillo tied the score 2-2 in the third and his two-run drive against Erik Sabrowski cut the Cardinals’ deficit to 5-4 in the eighth.

With two outs in the ninth, Winn reached when his two-hopper hit off Winn’s left wrist for just the sixth error by Cleveland this season. Winn advanced on Cade Smith’s wild pitch and scored on Yohel Pozo’s opposite-field double that bounced to the right-center field wall.

Riley O’Brien (2-0) pitched a perfect 10th, stranding automatic runner Chase DeLauter at third when Brito grounded out.

ASTROS 7, ROCKIES 6

HOUSTON (AP) — Christian Walker had three hits, including a home run, and the Houston Astros used a six-run third inning to snap an eight-game losing streak with a 7-6 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.

Houston trailed 3-0 before Walker hit a solo homer in the second inning. The Astros then took advantage of two errors by Rockies second baseman Willi Castro to score six times in the third.

After Jose Altuve reached on Castro’s first error, Yordan Alvarez tied the game with a two-run double down the right-field line. Walker later drove in Alvarez with a fielder’s choice to give Houston a 4-3 lead. Cam Smith and Christian Vazquez added RBI singles, and Joey Loperfido reached on Castro’s second error.

Houston sent 11 men to the plate in the inning, and five of the runs were unearned.

Colorado scored runs in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings to cut the deficit to 7-6, but Mickey Moniak popped out against Bryan King with the go-ahead run on base to end the eighth inning.
