American League

Astros 5, Mariners 2

SEATTLE — Jose Altuve had two hits and an RBI and Houston damaged Seattle’s post-season hopes with a victory. Altuve had a RBI double in the fifth and a single in the seventh for his league-leading 200th hit. He is the second Astros player to accomplish the feat, joining Craig Biggio — who set the franchise record of 210 in 1998. Altuve leads the American League in hitting at .337, hits and steals with 52. The Mariners, who lost two of three in the series, remained a half-game behind Detroit for the American League’s second wild-card spot.

Angels 8, Rangers 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Albert Pujols opened the scoring with his first triple in more than four years, rookie Matt Shoemaker had another strong start, and the Los Angeles Angels beat Texas. Pujols almost made it two straight triples, only to change his mind as he rounded second. He was then tagged out trying to get back to the base and finished a home run shy of the cycle.

Royals 3, Tigers 0

DETROIT — James Shields allowed two hits over seven innings in another terrific performance, and Kansas City edged Detroit to take a one-game lead over the Tigers atop the AL Central. Shields (14-7) gave up a single to Ian Kinsler leading off the first. Then he picked off Kinsler — and retired every other batter he faced until another Detroit single in the seventh. The Tigers put two on that inning, but Shields worked out of the jam.

NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira made up for a botched foul pop in the Rays’ four-run first inning with a go-ahead triple in the fifth, Brian McCann homered and drove in three runs, and the New York Yankees used their biggest comeback of the season to beat Tampa Bay. The Yankees entered 5 1⁄2 games out of a playoff spot with 20 remaining, and they did not get off to a good start.

LOS ANGELES — Dan Haren tossed seven sharp innings to give the Dodgers four pitchers with 13 wins for the first time in 19 years, and Los Angeles beat San Diego.

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 0

SAN FRANCISCO — Four pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout and Gregor Blanco had an RBI double as part of a four-run seventh inning that sent San Francisco to a win over Arizona. Hunter Pence drew a leadoff walk from Arizona reliever Oliver Perez (3-4) to jump-start the Giants offense. Blanco fell behind 1-2 and fouled off two consecutive pitches before lining a double past diving first baseman Mark Trumbo. Diamondbacks right fielder Alfredo Marte fumbled the ball as it ricocheted off the wall near Arizona’s bullpen, allowing Pence to score without a throw.

Pirates 6, Phillies 3

PHILADELPHIA — Andrew McCutchen hit the first inside-the-park home run of his career and Pittsburgh protected its lead in the NL wild-card race after beating Philadelphia. Pittsburgh trailed 3-2 in the fifth inning when McCutchen hit a ball off the wall in straightaway center field. The ball ricocheted toward the alley in right-center, and away from center fielder Ben Revere. McCutchen took off, and the reigning NL MVP scored standing up to tie it. Russell Martin hit a solo homer into the center-field seats later in the inning.

CINCINNATI — Alfredo Simon shook off a rough start but lasted seven innings and drove in the go-ahead run with the second of his two doubles as Cincinnati rallied for a win over St. Louis. Ryan Ludwick hit a solo home run to help the Reds win back-to-back games for the first time since Aug. 27-28 against the Chicago Cubs. The Central Division-leading Cardinals had not sustained consecutive defeats since a four-game losing streak from Aug. 26-30.
