NEW YORK — After Mariano Rivera blew a third straight save for the first time in his famed career, Brett Gardner homered with two outs in the ninth inning to give New York a victory over Detroit for its first series win in more than a month. Rivera (3-2) gave up another homer to a limping Miguel Cabrera and a drive to Victor Martinez in the top of the ninth, tying it at 4 and turning Alex Rodriguez’s first homer of the season into a footnote.

Dodgers 8, Rays 2

LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.88 with eight innings of three-hit ball and had a two-run single, and Los Angeles increased its NL West lead to a season-best 7 1/2 games with a victory over Tampa Bay. Mark Ellis had a homer and three RBIs to help Los Angeles improve to a major league-best 37-8 since June 22, a stretch that has dramatically turned around its season after it trailed Arizona by as many as 9 1/2 games. The Dodgers are a season-best 17 games over .500.
