Starting the comeback in the bottom of the seventh, Ceddanne Rafaela crushed a two-run homer to deep left that scored Yoshida.

In the eighth, Boston put two on against reliever Luke Weaver (4-2) before Wilyer Abreu greeted reliever Clay Holmes with a game-tying single. That set up Yoshida for the game-deciding hit.

Rob Refsnyder finished with three hits, two runs and an RBI for the Red Sox, who have won two of three following a four-game skid.

Bailey Horn (1-1) earned his first major league win, and Kenley Jansen worked around two hits and struck out two in the ninth for his 20th save.

Wells and Gleyber Torres had three hits apiece for New York, which has lost three straight and five of the past six.

Tyler O'Neill's sacrifice fly staked Boston to a 1-0 lead. Consecutive one-out singles by Refsnyder and Connor Wong and a walk to Rafael Devers loaded the bases before the RBI opportunity.

The visitors were not down for long, as Anthony Volpe crushed a two-out solo homer to straightaway center field to bring the Yankees even in the second.

A pair of one-out hits by Wong and Devers helped the Red Sox jump back in front in the third. After Wong doubled inside third base, Devers' knock to left made it a 2-1 game.

It was more of the same for Boston in the fourth. Romy Gonzalez began the inning with an infield single before Jarren Duran's knock moved him to third, while a second consecutive two-out hit by Refsnyder rolled to the left field wall for an RBI double.

The Yankees quickly responded with a two-run fifth to tie the game, getting an RBI double from Trent Grisham and a sacrifice fly from Alex Verdugo.

The hosts continued to put the pressure on in the bottom of the fifth, scoring a go-ahead run on Yoshida's sacrifice fly following a walk to Devers and O'Neill's double through the left side.

Boston reliever Zack Kelly was greeted rudely during the visitors' four-run seventh, allowing the back-to-back homers.

The Mets extended their winning streak to five games and improved to 15-7 this month as they moved ahead of the Braves in the race for the National League's first wild-card berth. New York has gained six games on Atlanta since July 1.

The Braves took their season-high sixth straight loss and fell to 8-12 in July.

Adam Duvall clubbed two home runs for the Braves, starting with a two-run shot in the second inning against Mets starter Kodai Senga (1-0). The right-hander was making his season debut after sustaining a shoulder injury in February.

Atlanta's 2-0 lead disappeared in the third inning, as the Mets sent 10 batters to the plate against Braves starter Charlie Morton (5-6) and Daysbel Hernandez and scored seven runs.

The inning began with Tyrone Taylor reaching on an error by third baseman Austin Riley, and Morton plunked Francisco Lindor and walked Brandon Nimmo. Martinez then launched a grand slam just beyond the right field wall.

Jeff McNeil doubled one out later before Vientos homered. Morton retired Jose Iglesias on a grounder but surrendered Alvarez's blast into the second deck in left. Hernandez entered to get Taylor to fly out.

The Mets added a run in the fourth when Hernandez walked Vientos with the bases loaded.

Martinez finished with three hits and Vientos with two of New York's eight.

Senga allowed the two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out nine over 5 1/3 innings. He exited after suffering a left calf strain following Riley's sixth-inning pop-up. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that Senga would get an MRI exam on the calf on Saturday.

The two-out blast was Profar's 18th long ball of the season and came off Craig Kimbrel (6-3), who was roughed up for the second day in a row.

Xander Bogaerts provided three hits as the Padres began the final series of a nine-game road swing following the All-Star break. San Diego used seven pitchers, though the team allowed more than three runs for the first time in six games. Robert Suarez (5-1) was the winner with the final 1 2/3 innings of relief despite blowing a potential save.

After Profar's first blast, the Padres added runs on back-to-back RBI doubles from Bogaerts and Jackson Merrill in a four-run sixth.

Jordan Westburg and Anthony Santander homered for the Orioles, who lost for the fourth time in five games.

Prior to the game, Philadelphia acquired outfielder Austin Hays from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for right-hander Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache. Hays, 29, was the starting center fielder for the American League in the 2023 All-Star Game.

The Guardians boosted their lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning. Andres Gimenez reached on a bunt single, stole second and advanced to third on Brayan Rocchio's single before scoring on Bo Naylor's bunt toward the first base line.

The Twins extended their lead to 6-2 in the fourth. Wallner walked and advanced to third on Vazquez's two-out single. Vazquez stole second before Castro slapped an opposite-field single.

Both runners scored and Castro went all the way to third on a throwing error by second baseman Colt Keith. Buxton followed with an RBI double.

With Joey Wentz on the mound, Minnesota made it 8-2 in the sixth. Brooks Lee had a one-out single prior to Vazquez's fifth homer.

Stanek, who turned 33 on Friday, is 6-3 with a 4.38 ERA in 39 innings this season, posting seven saves over 46 relief appearances.

A first-round pick (No. 29 overall) of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013, Stanek is 16-17 with a 3.54 ERA and 11 saves in 384 games (56 starts) over eight major league seasons. Before joining the Mariners this season, he played for the Rays (2017-19), Miami Marlins (2019-20) and Houston Astros (2021-23).

Thomas, 24, entered the 2024 season as the Mets' No. 30 prospect, per MLBPipeline.com. In 74 games with Triple-A Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton, he is hitting .265 with 19 doubles, five homers, 11 stolen bases and 31 RBIs.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day IL on June 23 with a strained left hamstring after injuring himself rounding third base during the Yankees' 8-3 home win over the Atlanta Braves the previous night.

The designated hitter has not been assigned any rehab games, and Boone said the team will monitor Stanton over the weekend to make sure the former MVP is healthy enough to return.

"He's pretty much done everything he needs to do," Boone said. "Now it's about building a little bit of volume."

Stanton, 34, was batting .246 with 18 home runs and 45 RBIs in 69 games before his ninth trip to the IL in seven seasons with New York.

Entering Friday's three-game series opener against the Red Sox in Boston, the Yankees have gone 8-17 while hitting .235 since Stanton's latest injury. They trailed the first-place Baltimore Orioles by two games in the American League East.

New York opens a three-game road series on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies, who entered Friday with the major leagues' best record (64-38).

"Yimi has been one of the best relievers in the American League this year -- dominating the strike zone, missing bats and pitching in high leverage," Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said in a team release. "He has big-game experience and we're excited to add him to our bullpen."

Garcia has pitched in 404 games -- all but one as a reliever -- over 10 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2014-19), Miami Marlins (2020-21), Houston Astros (2021) and the Blue Jays. He is 22-29 lifetime with a 3.54 ERA.

Diaz missed the team's recent seven-game road trip due to a family matter. He'll claim the open roster spot after Tampa Bay traded outfielder Randy Arozarena to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday.

Regular third baseman Isaac Paredes has started at first base in place of Diaz. Paredes had two hits and four RBIs on Thursday at Toronto, snapping an 0-for-15 slump.

The Mariners (53-51) have struggled on offense all season -- they are hitting a major-league-worst .216 and have a big-league-high 1,066 strikeouts -- and they recently placed center fielder Julio Rodriguez (high ankle sprain) and shortstop J.P. Crawford (broken right pinkie) on the injured list. However, they are still in the thick of the playoff race, one game behind the first-place Houston Astros (53-49) in the American League West.

Cease, 28, struck out nine batters and walked three while throwing a career-high 114 pitches to complete San Diego's three-game sweep of Washington.

Cease (10-8) became the second pitcher in Padres history to toss a no-hitter. San Diego native Joe Musgrove accomplished the feat against the Texas Rangers on April 9, 2021.

Houston Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco tossed a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on April 1 this season.

Mets 3, Braves 2 (10 innings)

Jeff McNeil's second hit of the night, an RBI single in the 10th inning, gave New York a walk-off win over Atlanta in the opener of a four-game series between the National League East rivals.

Francisco Lindor hit a two-run homer in the third inning -- the Mets' last hit before the 10th. New York has won four straight games to improve to 14-7 this month and is within a half-game of Atlanta for the top wild-card spot in the National League. McNeil has three consecutive multi-hit games, and he is 10-for-24 (.417) with four homers and nine RBIs in seven games since the All-Star break.

Tyler Holton, Easton Lucas (1-0), Alex Faedo, Jason Foley, Andrew Chafin and Shelby Miller held the AL Central-leading Guardians to four hits and a walk, while recording 10 strikeouts and not allowing more than one runner on base in any inning.

Baez's homer proved to be the only major mistake made by Cleveland starter Gavin Williams (0-3), who yielded six hits and two walks and struck out nine in six innings. The Guardians are 10-14 since June 26, and they have been shut out five times in the last 14 contests.

Dodgers 6, Giants 4

Puk, 29, started the season in the Miami rotation but was shifted to the bullpen after going 0-4 with a 9.22 ERA in four starts. He has proved effective since the switch, going 4-4 with one save, seven holds and a 2.08 ERA in 28 appearances.

Last year, Puk led the Marlins with 15 saves while going 7-5 with a 3.97 ERA in 58 outings, all in relief.

He began his major league career with Oakland as a reliever in 2019, then also pitched out of the Athletics' bullpen in 2021 and 2022. In 174 career appearances (170 in relief), Puk owns a 17-19 record with a 3.85 ERA and 20 saves.

De Los Santos, 21, began the 2024 season with Double-A Amarillo, earned a promotion to Triple-A Reno and has been even better after the move. Overall, the first baseman/third baseman is batting .325 with a .376 on-base percentage, a .635 slugging percentage, 28 homers and 84 RBIs in 87 games. He was rated the Diamondbacks' 14th-rated prospect by mlb.com.

Pintar, 23, the No. 30 prospect, has played for three teams in the Arizona farm system this year, rising to Double-A earlier this month. Overall, he is batting .285/.384/.468 with nine homers, 38 RBIs and 19 stolen bases in 69 games.

Arizona cleared a spot on the 40-man roster for Puk by designating left-hander Joe Jacques for assignment. Jacques, 29, made just one appearance for the Diamondbacks after he was acquired off waivers from the Boston Red Sox earlier this season, allowing two runs in 1 1/3 innings. Most recently, he was pitching for Reno.

The Diamondbacks (53-50) are in third place in the National League West, 8 1/2 games back of the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, they are only a game behind the San Diego Padres for the third NL wild card after winning eight of their past 11 games.

The Marlins (37-66) own the worst record in the NL.
