SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Johnny Cueto pitched a five-hitter to become the NL's first 13-game winner, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 on Wednesday night to move atop the major league standings.
San Francisco (54-33) passed the Chicago Cubs (52-32), who lost to the Cincinnati Reds earlier in the day.
Voted to the All-Star Game for the second time and a candidate to start in next week's Midsummer Classic, Cueto (13-1) allowed one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts and one walk while going the distance for the fourth time this season. The performance gave San Francisco's slumping bullpen a much-need break.
Cueto also became the first Giants pitcher since John Burkett in 1993 to win 13 games before the All-Star break.
Posey struck out looking with a runner on third in the first inning before hitting his 11th home run of the season off Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa (5-7) in the sixth.
REDS 5, CUBS 3
CHICAGO (AP) - Tucker Barnhart hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the seventh inning, and Cincinnati gave Chicago its 12th loss in 17 games.
A day after having seven players selected for next week's All-Star Game, the Cubs lost to the last-place Reds for the second time in three days and dropped below the San Francisco Giants for the majors' best record.
Chicago led 3-1 when Brandon Phillips and Jose Peraza hit consecutive one-out singles against Cahill (1-3) and Barnhart sent a 2-2 sinker into the basket in center field for his third home run this year.
Anthony DeSclafani (3-0) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings.

PIRATES 7, CARDINALS 5
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jung Ho Kang drove in two key runs with a seventh-inning double a day after Chicago police said they were investigating an allegation of sexual assault against the infielder, and Pittsburgh got its sixth straight comeback win.
Pittsburgh has won seven consecutive overall and leapfrogged St. Louis for second place in the NL Central. It got homers from David Freese and Sean Rodriguez, and Kang's double off Jonathan Broxton (1-1) put the Pirates up 6-5 after they trailed 5-1.
Kang has not been charged, and Major League Baseball said in a statement it would ''respond fully as additional facts emerge.''
Pirates relievers combined for five scoreless innings. A.J. Schugel (2-2) got the win and Mark Melancon picked up his 26th save.
Cardinals All-Star infielder Matt Carpenter left in the third inning with a right oblique injury after swinging awkwardly.
RED SOX 11, RANGERS 6

Texas starter Martin Perez (7-5) was tagged for 11 runs.
ASTROS 9, MARINERS 8
HOUSTON (AP) - Carlos Gomez had three RBIs and finished a home run shy of the cycle and Luis Valbuena hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning to help Houston sweep Seattle.

Ken Giles (1-3) struck out two in a scoreless eighth for the win. Luke Gregerson allowed an RBI double to Robinson Cano with one out in the ninth before striking out Dae-Ho Lee with the bases loaded for his 14th save.
NATIONALS 7, BREWERS 4
WASHINGTON (AP) - Bryce Harper hit the first of Washington's three home runs, and the Nationals returned to form.
After watching Washington score a combined two runs in the first two games of the series, manager Dusty Baker said before the finale, ''We're operating at a low energy level right now.''
Harper remedied that with a three-run shot in the first inning, the Nationals' first long ball in three games. Ryan Zimmerman chased Brewers starter Matt Garza (1-2) with a two-run drive in the fifth for a 7-4 lead.
Tanner Roark (8-5) allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings for the Nationals.

Tim Anderson capped a four-run second with a two-run double off Michael Pineda (3-8), and the White Sox won for the sixth time in eight games.
ANGELS 7, RAYS 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - All-Star Mike Trout homered and Jered Weaver pitched six innings of one-run ball for Los Angeles.
With his 100th hit, Trout became the first player to collect 100 hits and 15 home runs before the All-Star break four times before his age-25 season. Miguel Cabrera and Jimmy Foxx are the only other players to have accomplished the feat three times.
Weaver (7-7) struck out five for the Angels, giving up four hits, including Logan Forsythe's seventh home run.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack
-- Dwyane Wade signed with Chicago, ending his 13-year run with the Heat.
-- To clear cap room, the Bulls traded Jose Calderon to the Lakers, Mike Dunleavy to the Cavaliers.
-- Wade has banked $156M (in salary) in his career; don't want to hear any whining about Miami not showing him respect- he'll turn 35 during next season.
-- Matt Harvey (shoulder) goes on DL; bad news for the Mets.
-- Orioles 6, Dodgers 4 (14)-- Chase Utley had six hits for the Dodgers.
-- 40-year old Ray Allen may be coming out of retirement, possibly to play for the Warriors. Allen last played for the Heat in 2014-- he turns 41 on July 20.

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud......
13) Interesting article in Las Vegas *************** today about minor league baseball players and the language barriers guys from Central America face when they get here. It is remarkable that this is the first year it is mandatory for major league teams to have a Spanish translator with the ballclub.
It can be even worse for players from Curacao or Asia, who speak other languages.
12) Next Mega Millions jackpot will be at least $508M.
I worked for the New York State for 34 years; always laughed when there was a line for lottery tickets in the coffee shop, when they would bust your balls upstairs about running a football pool.
11) Kyrie Irving has played in 309 of a possible 410 games (75.4%) in the five years he's played in the NBA with the Cavaliers. He makes $7M a year.
Over last five years, Derrick Rose has played in 166 of a possible 410 games (40.5%) for the Bulls. He makes $18M a year.
Utah Jazz TV analyst Ron Boone played in 1,041 consecutive games, from 1969-80. Boone scored 17,437 points in his career, averaging 16.8 ppg.
Maybe the big money today has softened modern athletes; the quality of player today may be higher than it used to be, but yesterday's players were tougher. .
10) Brooklyn Nets will pay Tyler Johnson $50M over the next four years. Johnson has played 68 games for Miami in two years, starting seven. Thats $12.5M a year.
Steph Curry makes $12.1M a year. Something is amiss here.
9) In 2013, the California Franchise Tax Board collected $229.2M in tax revenue from athletes who played games in the Golden State. With the boost in NBA salaries this yearand the Rams coming back to Los Angeles, imagine what the tax board will be collecting next year?
8) NBA is experimenting with four referees in summer league games. I forgot who said this, but when they were switching from two to three refs a game 20-25 years ago or whenever it was, one coach said, "Just one more guy to yell at."
7) Movie trivia: Remember League of Their Own, the movie about women's baseball with Geena Davis, Tom Hanks and Madonna?
One of the pitchers for an opposing team in the movie was Janet Jones, better known now as Wayne Gretzky's wife/Dustin Johnson's mother-in-law
6) Since 2009, San Diego Padres have used 18 different shortstops.
5) In his last 32 games against the Giants, Nolan Arenado has 45 RBI.
4) Barry Bonds suggested that if Ichiro Suzuki were in the Home Run Derby, he would win it; he is not the first person I've heard say that. Next year's All-Star Game is in Miami; if Ichiro is still a Marlin then, he should be in the 2017 Home Run Derby.
3) For whatever reason, there are four All-Star games in a row in NL parks, so this year, the American League will be the home team, even though the game is in sunny San Diego. The DH should be used in All-Star Games every year-- no pitcher should ever bat in an All-Star Game-- it is nonsensical.
2) Arizona TV analyst Bob Brenly was describing how catchers go into a cold tub in the training room to revitalize their legs during a long baseball season.
Picture a big tub filled with cold slush; a catcher steps into that, and there is lot of pain for about two minutes. Then, Brenly says, you lose all the feeling in your legs as they go numb from the cold. After 5-7 more minutes, you get out of the tub, and when the blood rushes back into your legs and they regain feeling, they're supposed to feel re-energized. The hard part is staying in the tub during that first two minutes.
1) I subscribe to ESPN.com: Insider because there is good info in there; with that I get a subscription to ESPN's magazine, which is a complete waste of paper. Maybe it is geared to really young people, I don't know. Lot of stuff I don't care about.

Thursday's Diamond Notes
July 7, 2016
Hottest team: Pirates (7-0 last last seven)
Last night’s vanquishing of the Cardinals helped Pittsburgh leapfrog them into second place in the NL Central, extending its winning streak to a season-long seven, the longest such run since winning eight in a row from June 10-18, 2015. The Pirates have outscored opponents 41-18 during this stretch and have yet to be involved in a one-run game. Since they’ve been on the road, every one of the wins have been upsets that have netted a total of +990 for Pittsburgh-backers. After winning the second of a two-game set in Seattle, the Pirates swept a three-game series in Oakland and will look to claim four straight in St. Louis. Tyler Glasnow, a 22-year-old right-hander who has been dominating in the minor leagues, will try and keep the success going in his major-league debut against Cardinals standout Adam Wainwright (7-5, 4.70 ERA), who comes off a win over the Brewers where he pitched seven shutout innings. Glasnow has gone 7-2 with a 1.78 ERA at Triple-A Indianapolis, striking out 113 batters in 96.0 innings. He’s been known to have control issues, so look for the Cardinals to be patient early to see whether his nerves get the best of him. Andrew McCutchen has the most extensive history of any of the Pirates against Wainwright, batting .292 with a homer and 4 RBI in 48 at-bats. Josh Harrison is 7-for-18 (.389) against the big St. Louis righty, while Jordy Mercer has homered off him twice.
Coldest team: Braves (3-10 last 13)
A two-out, two-run home run from Freddy Galvis off closer Arodys Vizcaino denied the Braves a win Philadelphia, where they were swept in the first leg of a seven-game road trip heading into the All-Star break. They’ll spend the next four games in Chicago, visiting the Cubs today before heading to the South Side for a three-game set with the White Sox this weekend. Tonight’s contest is a make-up game from a April 30 rainout and marks the first time the Cubs haven’t had the best record in all of MLB since early in the season’s opening month after San Francisco surpassed them late Wednesday. On the flip side, Atlanta has slipped back behind Minnesota due to this recent slump and sports the worst mark in the league (28-57, .329). The Twins are the only other team who haven’t reached the 30-win mark. Veteran Lucas Harrrell (1-0, 1.50), who won a spot start by pitching six innings of one-run ball against Miami to earn his first major-league victory since August 2013, gets the ball again for the Braves. Despite the disparity between the records for these two teams, Chicago has won just three of five in the season series, but are Thursday's biggest favorite (-270). The Cubs send Jason Hammel (7-5, 3.45) looking to put an end to a skid that has seen them lose 12 of 17. His team has lost his last five starts. Hammel surrendered five homers in four innings against the Mets in his last start. Chicago visits surging Pittsburgh this weekend.
Hottest pitcher: Trevor Bauer (7-2, 3.02 ERA)
The Indians failed to sweep Detroit on Wednesday, surrendering the final dozen runs in a 12-2 rout after grabbing an early lead. Though they’re still on a marvelous run with wins in 16 of 19, the Tribe also got hammered 17-1 on Sunday and may be eagerly anticipating the All-Star break for a breather. They’ll try and get this four-game series against LeBron James’ Yankees by sending Bauer to the mound for his first start since June 27. Although he’s become a fixture in the rotation after opening in the bullpen, Bauer entered last Friday’s 19-inning classic at Toronto in the 15th and pitched five scoreless frames to help Cleveland set a new franchise-record with its 14th consecutive victory. He was skipped the next day, but hasn’t lost a start since May 21, winning four consecutive decisions. He hasn’t surrendered more than two earned runs in his last six appearances, a span of 42.2 innings. Bauer has struck out 40 batters while walking 12 in that span. Bauer is just 1-3 with a 4.78 ERA in five career starts against the Yanks. Brian McCann is the only member of New York’s roster to have homered against him. Ivan Nova (5-5, 5.06) will get the ball for the Bombers, who were blanked by the White Sox on Wednesday to fall to 2-4 entering the final leg of a 10-game road trip.
Coldest pitcher: Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-1, 9.53 ERA)
Although Chicago's Hammel would qualify in this category too, Texas' Gonzalez, who failed to get out of the first inning on Saturday at Minnesota, fits the category nicely. The 24-year-old has walked more batters than he's struck out over 72 career innings and has largely been a massive disappointment after starting his big-league career by giving up just three runs over 30 innings in his first four starts. He'll face a Twins offense that has helped win four of five games by twice cranking out double-digits in runs after acomplishing that just once over the season's first three months. Gonzalez allowed five runs in 5.2 innings in his only appearance in against Minnesota, ending up with a no-decision at Target Field last August. Opposing starter Tyler Duffey (4-6, 5.62) has had 38 runs scored for him over his last three starts.
Biggest UNDER run: Rockies (6-1 last seven)
The Rockies played eight consecutive games that climbed well 'over' the posted total entering their final date in June. In that span, games there were 130 runs scored in games involving baseball’s highest-scoring team, an average of 16.2 per game. Colorado closed last month with a 5-3 loss to Toronto and have been held to one run or fewer in five of its six July games, including last night’s 5-1 loss to the Johnny Cueto-led Giants. Ironically, the Rockies only win and ‘over’ game thus far this month came against Madison Bumgarner. They’ll look to get the offense back on track back in Denver against the visiting Phillies, who have won eight of nine, pulling off sweeps at Arizona and home against Atlanta while taking two of three from Kansas City. Chad Bettis (6-6, 5.85) gets the ball for Colorado and is just 2-2 with a brutal 6.69 ERA at Coors, while Phillies lefty Adam Morgan (1-6, 6.31) is 1-1 with a 5.60 road ERA and will be making his first appearance pitching in Denver’s altitude. The total has been set at 12.
Biggest OVER run: Padres (4-0, last four, 7-1 last eight)
The Diamondbacks have seen the 'over' prevail in their last seven games, but they're off tonight. That bumps up the mighty Padres, who picked up a 13-6 win at Arizona to score a third series victory in four chances. Since June 15, the 'over' has gone 15-4 in games involving San Diego, with factors including inexperienced starters, a slumping bullpen and the sizzling bat of All-Star Wil Myers. Teammates Yangervis Solarte and rookie Ryan Schimpf has gotten into the act, with the latter hitting two home runs in Phoenix to increase his total to four, all coming this month. Ace Drew Pomeranz (7-7, 2.65) may keep this total down since he's allowed just one run in his last 14 innings and held the Dodgers to a single run on three hits over seven frames last time he pitched in L.A. (May 1) The Dodgers are sending Korean righty Hyun-Jin Ryu to the mound for his first start since Game 3 of the 2014 NLDS. Ryu has been out with shoulder trouble since, but has looked promising in rehab, last allowing two runs over six innings at Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. He hit 90 on the radar gun. Ryu is 28-15 with a 3.17 ERA over 56 major-league regular-season starts.
Matchup to watch: Nationals at Mets
Although the Marlins made a big move in trading for Fernando Rodney, these two remain the top dogs in the N.L. East, setting up an important four-game set just before the break. Washington owns the most tenuous division lead in the National League, but will look to stay at least four games up by securing a split in Queens. The Mets were swept in a three-game set in D.C. to close out June, getting outscored 20-6. The teams split six May meetings, which included the Nats winning two of three at Citi Field. There has yet to be a one-run game in any of the nine encounters to date. Oddsmakers see this series opener as practically a pick'em, slightly favoring New York (-110) and 43-year-old Bartolo Colon (7-4, 2.87) at home against 21-year-old rookie Lucas Giolito (0-0, 0.00), who allowed just one hit over four innings in his major-league debut against the Mets on June 28. Colon is 1-1 against the Nats this season.
Betcha didn’t know: A’s ace Rich Hill (8-3, 2.31) returned from a month-long absence due to a groin injury in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the hot Pirates, but he gave a great account of himself in front of scouts from contenders who are looking at him as a potential reinforcement prior to the trade deadline following a resurgent first half of 2016. The 36-year-old Boston native has already won more games this season than in any other in his 12-year career with the exception of 2007, when he went 11-8 for the Cubs, striking out a career-high 183 batters. The lefty has been fantastic through 12 starts as Oakland’s most successful reclamation project and should yield them a prospect or two prior to the trade deadline. He’ll be facing an Astros team he held to just two runs on two hits on May 1 in a game the A’s lost 2-1 against tonight’s pitcher, Doug Fister (8.5, 3.66). This should arguably be the best pitching matchup of the day and certainly offers the most size. Hill is listed 6’5. Fister is 6-foot-8.

Hottest team: Pirates (7-0 last last seven)
Last night’s vanquishing of the Cardinals helped Pittsburgh leapfrog them into second place in the NL Central, extending its winning streak to a season-long seven, the longest such run since winning eight in a row from June 10-18, 2015. The Pirates have outscored opponents 41-18 during this stretch and have yet to be involved in a one-run game. Since they’ve been on the road, every one of the wins have been upsets that have netted a total of +990 for Pittsburgh-backers. After winning the second of a two-game set in Seattle, the Pirates swept a three-game series in Oakland and will look to claim four straight in St. Louis. Tyler Glasnow, a 22-year-old right-hander who has been dominating in the minor leagues, will try and keep the success going in his major-league debut against Cardinals standout Adam Wainwright (7-5, 4.70 ERA), who comes off a win over the Brewers where he pitched seven shutout innings. Glasnow has gone 7-2 with a 1.78 ERA at Triple-A Indianapolis, striking out 113 batters in 96.0 innings. He’s been known to have control issues, so look for the Cardinals to be patient early to see whether his nerves get the best of him. Andrew McCutchen has the most extensive history of any of the Pirates against Wainwright, batting .292 with a homer and 4 RBI in 48 at-bats. Josh Harrison is 7-for-18 (.389) against the big St. Louis righty, while Jordy Mercer has homered off him twice.
Coldest team: Braves (3-10 last 13)
A two-out, two-run home run from Freddy Galvis off closer Arodys Vizcaino denied the Braves a win Philadelphia, where they were swept in the first leg of a seven-game road trip heading into the All-Star break. They’ll spend the next four games in Chicago, visiting the Cubs today before heading to the South Side for a three-game set with the White Sox this weekend. Tonight’s contest is a make-up game from a April 30 rainout and marks the first time the Cubs haven’t had the best record in all of MLB since early in the season’s opening month after San Francisco surpassed them late Wednesday. On the flip side, Atlanta has slipped back behind Minnesota due to this recent slump and sports the worst mark in the league (28-57, .329). The Twins are the only other team who haven’t reached the 30-win mark. Veteran Lucas Harrrell (1-0, 1.50), who won a spot start by pitching six innings of one-run ball against Miami to earn his first major-league victory since August 2013, gets the ball again for the Braves. Despite the disparity between the records for these two teams, Chicago has won just three of five in the season series, but are Thursday's biggest favorite (-270). The Cubs send Jason Hammel (7-5, 3.45) looking to put an end to a skid that has seen them lose 12 of 17. His team has lost his last five starts. Hammel surrendered five homers in four innings against the Mets in his last start. Chicago visits surging Pittsburgh this weekend.
Hottest pitcher: Trevor Bauer (7-2, 3.02 ERA)
The Indians failed to sweep Detroit on Wednesday, surrendering the final dozen runs in a 12-2 rout after grabbing an early lead. Though they’re still on a marvelous run with wins in 16 of 19, the Tribe also got hammered 17-1 on Sunday and may be eagerly anticipating the All-Star break for a breather. They’ll try and get this four-game series against LeBron James’ Yankees by sending Bauer to the mound for his first start since June 27. Although he’s become a fixture in the rotation after opening in the bullpen, Bauer entered last Friday’s 19-inning classic at Toronto in the 15th and pitched five scoreless frames to help Cleveland set a new franchise-record with its 14th consecutive victory. He was skipped the next day, but hasn’t lost a start since May 21, winning four consecutive decisions. He hasn’t surrendered more than two earned runs in his last six appearances, a span of 42.2 innings. Bauer has struck out 40 batters while walking 12 in that span. Bauer is just 1-3 with a 4.78 ERA in five career starts against the Yanks. Brian McCann is the only member of New York’s roster to have homered against him. Ivan Nova (5-5, 5.06) will get the ball for the Bombers, who were blanked by the White Sox on Wednesday to fall to 2-4 entering the final leg of a 10-game road trip.

LEADING OFF: Mets begin 4-game set vs Nats, Cubs struggling
July 7, 2016
A look at what's happening all around the majors today.
BIG ONE BEFORE THE BREAK
The NL East-leading Nationals begin a four-game series to end the first half of the season against the second-place Mets with four games separating the teams. Washington's offense broke out Wednesday in a 7-4 win over Milwaukee, with Bryce Harper hitting the Nats' first homer in three games. The Mets, meanwhile, have won six of seven . Youngster Lucas Giolito (0-0, 0.00) makes his second ML start for the Nationals and will face 43-year-old Bartolo Colon (7-4, 2.87) in the opener.
BAD NEWS BEARS
The struggling Cubs host the Braves for one game to make up a rainout from April 30. Chicago is coming off a lost series vs. Cincinnati and has dropped 12 of its past 17 games. ''I can't connect a bunch of negative dots. It just happened,'' said manager Joe Maddon, who believes this poor stretch is more a ''snapshot'' than a sign of bigger problems. Jason Hammel (7-5, 3.45) of the Cubs takes on Lucas Harrell (1-0, 1.50), who is coming off his first major league start in more than two years.
RYU RETURNS
Dodgers right-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu makes his season debut and his first start since the 2014 playoffs when L.A. faces San Diego. He had shoulder surgery in May 2015 after going 14-7 with a 3.38 ERA in 2014. The Padres counter with Drew Pomeranz (7-7, 2.65).
BUC UP
Hard-throwing pitching prospect Tyler Glasnow will make his major league debut for Pittsburgh against St. Louis. The 6-foot-8 right-hander has a 1.78 ERA in 96 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, runs his fastball up to 99 mph and also throws an impressive curveball. He was a fifth-round draft pick in 2011 and has ranked among the Pirates' top prospects since breaking out in Class-A in 2013. ''It's a downhill angle,'' manager Clint Hurdle said. ''It's firm. It's hard. The curveball plays. The changeup he'll use aggressively as well. He's shown the ability to throw those secondary pitches in offensive counts.'' Adam Wainwright (7-5, 4.70) - another tall right-hander with an exceptional curveball - is up for the Cardinals.
BAUER POWER
Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer (7-2, 3.02) tries to extend a dominant stretch when he faces the Yankees. Bauer's overpowering stuff is finally translating into outstanding results - he has a 1.81 ERA over his past seven appearances (six starts) and hasn't lost since May 21. Ivan Nova (5-5, 5.06) is up for the Yankees.

TORONTO (AP) Troy Tulowitzki drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Thursday night for their season-best sixth straight victory.
Tulowitzki finished 2 for 4 with a walk and three RBIs. He is batting .338 (22 for 65) with 20 RBIs in 17 games since coming off the disabled list on June 18.
Jason Grilli (3-2) pitched one inning for the win. Roberto Osuna worked the ninth for his 18th save.
After the Blue Jays loaded the bases against Justin Wilson (2-2) with two outs in the eighth, Alex Wilson came on to face Tulowitzki but surrendered a two-run single to right.
ROYALS 4, MARINERS 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Salvador Perez ripped a double off the wall in the ninth inning, scoring Whit Merrifield and Jarrod Dyson for Kansas City.
Merrifield doubled off Steve Cishek (2-5) leading off the inning, then Kendrys Morales got plunked on the foot. Dyson came in to pinch run and Eric Hosmer struck out before Perez dug in to face the Mariners' closer
He lined a shot off the wall in center for his second career game-ending hit.
Brooks Pounders (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning for his first big league win.
METS 9, NATIONALS 7
NEW YORK (AP) - Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and New York rallied in the opener of a pivotal four-game series between the top teams in the NL East.
Travis d'Arnaud, Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera also went deep for New York in a slugfest that featured eight home runs - most in the eight-year history of Citi Field.
Hansel Robles (3-3) retired Anthony Rendon with the bases loaded to end the fifth and worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Oliver Perez (2-2) allowed three runs in 1 1/3 innings.
BRAVES 4, CUBS 3, 11 INNINGS
CHICAGO (AP) - Nick Markakis homered twice, including a tying solo shot in the ninth inning, and Tyler Flowers' two-out single in the 11th early Friday morning gave Atlanta a victory over slumping Chicago.
Closer Hector Rondon blew his fourth save when he gave up the second homer to Markakis to lead off the ninth, Atlanta's first hit since the second inning.
Flowers singled to right off Spencer Patton (1-1) and Freddie Freeman, who walked, barely beat Ben Zobrist's throw home.
Dario Alvarez (3-1) worked a perfect 10th before giving up consecutive singles to Contreras and Jason Heyward to lead off the 11th.
YANKEES 5, INDIANS 4
CLEVELAND (AP) - Didi Gregorius had two hits, including a solo homer, and scored twice for New York.
Cleveland, which leads the AL Central, lost its second straight home game after 13 wins in a row at Progressive Field. It had the potential winning run on base with two outs in the ninth, but Tyler Naquin was thrown out on a close play at first.
Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova (6-5) stopped a two-game losing streak.
Rob Refsnyder's sacrifice fly in the sixth chased Trevor Bauer (7-3).
CARDINALS 5, PIRATES 1

PADRES 2, DODGERS 0
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Drew Pomeranz tossed two-hit ball over seven innings, Melvin Upton Jr. homered leading off the game and San Diego beat Los Angeles in a tough return for starter Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Pomeranz (8-7) struck out six and walked two in his third straight start of seven innings with one run or less.
Ryu (0-1) got a rude welcome back to the major leagues, giving up six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and two walks. The South Korean left-hander was reinstated earlier Thursday from the 60-day disabled list to make his first major league start since Sept. 12, 2014.

Minnesota led for good after Eduardo Nunez and Joe Mauer started the game with consecutive hits off Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-2) and both scored.
Duffey (5-6) limited Texas to two hits over six innings, but walked four and hit two batters.
ROCKIES 11, PHILLIES 2
DENVER (AP) - Trevor Story tied an NL rookie record for most home runs before the All-Star break, homering twice and boosting his total to 21 for Colorado.
The Rockies scored runs in the first three innings, starting with Nolan Arenado's RBI double in the first off Adam Morgan (1-7).
Chad Bettis (7-6) kept the Phillies in check while pitching into the seventh.
ANGELS 5, RAYS 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron drove in runs to back starter Hector Santiago and lead Los Angeles.
Pujols snapped a scoreless tie with a sixth-inning single off rookie Blake Snell (1-4).
Santiago (6-4) allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings, improving to 8-1 in the month of July since joining the Angels in 2014.

Closer Hector Rondon blew his fourth save when he gave up the second homer to Markakis to lead off the ninth, Atlanta's first hit since the second inning.
Flowers singled to right off Spencer Patton (1-1) and Freddie Freeman, who walked, barely beat Ben Zobrist's throw home.
Dario Alvarez (3-1) worked a perfect 10th before giving up consecutive singles to Contreras and Jason Heyward to lead off the 11th.
YANKEES 5, INDIANS 4
CLEVELAND (AP) - Didi Gregorius had two hits, including a solo homer, and scored twice for New York.
Cleveland, which leads the AL Central, lost its second straight home game after 13 wins in a row at Progressive Field. It had the potential winning run on base with two outs in the ninth, but Tyler Naquin was thrown out on a close play at first.
Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova (6-5) stopped a two-game losing streak.
Rob Refsnyder's sacrifice fly in the sixth chased Trevor Bauer (7-3).
CARDINALS 5, PIRATES 1
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Stephen Piscotty hit a three-run home run and Randal Grichuk also went deep to help St. Louis avoid a four-game sweep and end Pittsburgh's season-best seven-game winning streak.
Adam Wainwright (8-5) worked seven effective innings for St. Louis, which reclaimed second place in the NL Central by a half-game over Pittsburgh to end a rough 4-5 homestand.
Tyler Glasnow (0-1) was charged with four runs in 5 1/3 innings in his debut.
PADRES 2, DODGERS 0
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Drew Pomeranz tossed two-hit ball over seven innings, Melvin Upton Jr. homered leading off the game and San Diego beat Los Angeles in a tough return for starter Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Pomeranz (8-7) struck out six and walked two in his third straight start of seven innings with one run or less.
Ryu (0-1) got a rude welcome back to the major leagues, giving up six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and two walks. The South Korean left-hander was reinstated earlier Thursday from the 60-day disabled list to make his first major league start since Sept. 12, 2014. He had shoulder surgery in May 2015, causing him to miss all of last season.
ATHLETICS 3, ASTROS 1
HOUSTON (AP) - Yonder Alonso doubled and drove in two runs and Rich Hill tied a season high with 10 strikeouts in six solid innings for Oakland.
Hill (9-3) allowed three hits and one run to extend his winning streak to six games. Ryan Madson pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.
Doug Fister (8-6) went eight innings and gave up two runs on three hits.
TWINS 10, RANGERS 1
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Max Kepler drove in three runs with a homer and a short sacrifice fly, Tyler Duffey matched a career high with nine strikeouts and last-place Minnesota again beat AL-leading Texas.
The Twins, whose 30-55 record is the worst in the AL, won for the fifth time in six games. That includes three straight over the Rangers.
Minnesota led for good after Eduardo Nunez and Joe Mauer started the game with consecutive hits off Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-2) and both scored.
Duffey (5-6) limited Texas to two hits over six innings, but walked four and hit two batters.
ROCKIES 11, PHILLIES 2
DENVER (AP) - Trevor Story tied an NL rookie record for most home runs before the All-Star break, homering twice and boosting his total to 21 for Colorado.
The Rockies scored runs in the first three innings, starting with Nolan Arenado's RBI double in the first off Adam Morgan (1-7).
Chad Bettis (7-6) kept the Phillies in check while pitching into the seventh.
ANGELS 5, RAYS 1
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron drove in runs to back starter Hector Santiago and lead Los Angeles.
Pujols snapped a scoreless tie with a sixth-inning single off rookie Blake Snell (1-4).
Santiago (6-4) allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings, improving to 8-1 in the month of July since joining the Angels in 2014.
Armadillo: Friday's six-pack
-- Mets TV guy Gary Cohen openly insinuated last night that the baseballs that are being used this year are juiced, so more home runs get hit.
-- San Diego Padres are 15-10 vs lefty starters, 23-38 vs righties this year.
-- QB Jarrett Stidham is leaving Baylor; he was supposed to be QB of the future for the Bears, who've lost a lot of players since the school changed coaches.
-- Cavaliers got a trade exception and the rights to a foreign guy who will probably never play in the NBA in a deal with Milwaukee for Matthew Dellavedova.
-- Aledmys Diaz replaces Cardinal teammate Matt Carpenter on NL All-Star team
-- Paul Goldschmidt doesn't do social media, but he started a Twitter account to help get Jake Lamb elected to the All-Star Game. Thats a good teammate.

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here......
13) The spending spree that took place in the NBA over the last week has lowered the projections for next year's salary cap, from $107M to $102M.
12) Next summer will be a circus in the NBA; Curry-Westbrook-Griffin-Millsap-Paul-James-Durant could all be free agents, all at the same time.
11) Michigan Wolverines are paying Arkansas $2M after cancelling a home/home series with the Razorbacks, so they can renew their series with Notre Dame.
10) Over the last five years, SEC teams are 17-8 vs Big 14 teams, 14-10-1 against the spread; SEC squads were favored in 23 of the 25 games-- the exceptions were a . Wisconsin-South Carolina bowl in 2013 and a Michigan-Miami bowl game last year.
9) Ohio State has only six starters back this year, three on both sides of the ball.
8) Tennessee-Virginia Tech are playing a game at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept 10; are expecting to draw a huge crowd. Unusual place for a football game.
7) UNLV's baseball team got a big boost; Greg Maddux is their new pitching coach- his son Chase is on the team. Nothing like having one of the best pitchers ever as one of your coaches- their recruiting should spike dramatically.
6) Enjoy watching family/friend reactions when young people make their MLB debuts; Thursday it was Tyler Glasnow making his debut in St Louis.
5) Clayton KershawDallas Keuchel led MLB with 232.2 IP last year; last pitcher to throw 250+ innings was Justin Verlander, five years ago.
4) From 1976-78, Jim Palmer threw 315-319-296 innings; last guy to throw 300+ innings in one season was Steve Carlton (304) in 1980.
3) Dick Enberg told a story on the Padre-Dodger game last night, about how the red numbers on the front of Dodger uniforms came to be.
When TV first was invented, in 1951, Dodgers decided the numbers on the front of their uniforms should be red, so they would show up better on TV. 65 years later, they are still red. Never heard that story until last night.
2) As if our Presidential race couldn't get any more hideous, there are commercials on Root Sports (Pirates-Rockies-Mariners games) supporting a Presidential candidate, all paid for by the NRA. Going to be very difficult for me to vote for either side in this year's elections-- we simply do not have an acceptable option, in my opinion. .
1) I'll be at the adidas Uprising tournament in Las Vegas in two weeks; am hoping the young man with best name in the country-- Immanuel Quickley will be there. Is there a better last name for a point guard than Quickley?
