MINNEAPOLIS: Jorge Polanco drove in two runs, including the winner with one out in the 12th inning, and Kenta Maeda took a no-hitter into the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins edged the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Tuesday night in Minneapolis. Polanco drove in Byron Buxton from third with a broken-bat dribbler past losing pitcher David Phelps (2-2) to win it. Maeda set a team record with eight consecutive strikeouts but failed to garner the win as the Brewers rallied for three ninth-inning runs and force extra innings.

Keston Hiura hit a run-scoring single, and Twins second baseman Ildemaro Vargas committed a two-run throwing error to tie the game. Eric Sogard broke up the no-hitter to start the ninth with a soft liner over the glove of shortstop Polanco for a leadoff single. Maeda then departed after throwing a career-high 115 pitches. He struck out 12 and walked two.

PHILLIES 13, RED SOX 6
Bryce Harper crushed a three-run home run as part of a seven-run sixth inning, and Philadelphia sent host Boston to its ninth consecutive defeat.

Luke Weaver (1-3) earned the victory after pitching a season-high five innings and allowing a run on three hits and a walk while striking out six.

RAYS 6, YANKEES 3
Brandon Lowe hit a three-run homer, and visiting Tampa Bay continued its surge by recording a victory over New York. The Rays improved to 4-1 in the 10-game season series with the Yankees and also handed New York its first loss in 11 games this season in games played at Yankee Stadium. Blake Snell (2-0) benefitted from the Rays' run support while allowing three runs on four hits in five innings. Gary Sanchez hit a solo homer and Luke Voit hit a two-run homer out of the leadoff spot for the Yankees, whose 10-0 start in games played at Yankee Stadium matched the team record set in 1951 and equaled in 1987.

CUBS 6, CARDINALS 3
Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber each clubbed home runs, and Chicago held on for a win over visiting St. Louis. Jason Heyward added an RBI triple for Chicago, which earned its second win in a row over St. Louis.

WHITE SOX 10, TIGERS 4
Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada and Jose Abreu combined to go 8-for-12 with a home run and eight RBIs as the top of the order powered host Chicago past Detroit. Detroit sputtered to its seventh straight defeat as left-hander Tarik Skubal (0-1) struggled in his major league debut. Anderson blasted the third pitch of Skubal's career into the left field seats for his second leadoff home run against the Tigers in as many nights and third leadoff homer this season. Chicago right-hander Dylan Cease continued his early-career dominance of Detroit, limiting the Tigers to two runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings with three walks and three strikeouts. Cease improved to 4-1 this season and 5-0 in five starts against Detroit as the White Sox won their third straight game.

METS 8, MARLINS 3
Brandon Nimmo homered, tripled and singled while leading New York to a victory at Miami. Nimmo, who was robbed of a hit on a line drive into a shift and also flied out to the warning track, went 3-for-5 with two RBIs while raising his on-base percentage to .431. He has four homers this season and has tripled in consecutive games. The Mets, who have won two straight games, also got solo homers from J.D.

INDIANS 6, PIRATES 3 (10 INNINGS)
Carlos Santana's three-run homer in the 10th inning gave visiting Cleveland its fourth straight win. Against Pittsburgh reliever Sam Howard (1-1) in a game that had been tied 3-3 since the fifth, and with Cesar Hernandez placed on second, Francisco Lindor drew a one-out walk. Santana blasted a shot to left, his second homer, and it survived a review to see whether it was fair or foul. Josh Bell hit a two-run double and Colin Moran an RBI single for the Pirates, who had played just two games in eight days because of COVID-19 concerns with their scheduled opponents.

BLUE JAYS 8, ORIOLES 7 (10 INNINGS)
Toronto scored the tie-breaking run on a throwing error in the top of the 10th inning and held on to beat host Baltimore. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a shot that Orioles first baseman Chris Davis dove and stopped. While still on the ground, Davis tried to throw out Travis Shaw at the plate, but the throw was wild, and the Jays took an 8-7 lead off losing pitcher Cole Sulser (1-2). Anthony Bass (1-0) received the win for Toronto. Randal Grichuk drove in four runs for a second straight night, including a two-run homer. Shaw hit a three-run homer and knocked in three. Anthony Santander had three hits, including two home runs, and drove in three for the Orioles.

GIANTS 8, ANGELS 2
Mike Yastrzemski and Pablo Sandoval homered, Trevor Cahill and five relievers combined on a five-hitter and San Francisco beat Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif. Yastrzemski led off the game with a home run off Angels starter Dylan Bundy, who has been the Angels' best pitcher this season. Bundy (3-2) also allowed a homer to Sandoval in the second, and he was done after four innings, having yielded four runs on four hits and three walks. Cahill, who pitched for the Angels last season, gave up a home run to Tommy La Stella in the first inning but nothing else in four innings, giving up four hits and walking one. Caleb Baragar, Sam Selman, Wandy Peralta, Jarlin Garcia (1-1) and Shaun Anderson combined to hold the Angels to one run and one hit over the final five innings to close it out.

REDS-ROYALS, PPD.
Cincinnati's scheduled game at Kansas City was postponed "out of an abundance of caution," Major League Baseball announced. The final two games of the Reds' weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates were called off in response to a positive COVID-19 test that was revealed after Cincinnati's 8-1 win on Friday. One of the Reds players tested positive. The two-game Reds-Royals series will be contested in a doubleheader on Wednesday. - Reuters
