Brewers hold off Dodgers again for 9th straight win
Shohei Ohtani hit his National League-leading 33rd homer and drove in three runs for the Dodgers. Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas both went deep in the eighth to pull the NL West leaders to 8-7.
But then Ohtani's flyball died on the warning track to end the eighth, and Trevor Megill threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 23rd save as Los Angeles lost for the ninth time in 11 games.
Milwaukee improved to 5-0 against the defending World Series champions this year, including a three-game sweep at home last week.
Peralta (12-4) wasn't particularly sharp, giving up four runs and five hits in five innings as his ERA rose from 2.66 to 2.85. But the Brewers tacked on three insurance runs to maintain the lead after the All-Star right-hander exited.
After the teams traded four-run rallies in the third, the Brewers took a 5-4 lead on Collins' 363-foot homer over the short right-field wall in the fourth. They made it 6-4 on Caleb Durbin's RBI double in the sixth.
The Dodgers pulled to 6-5 in the sixth when Edman snapped an 0-for-29 skid with a single and Ohtani sliced an RBI single to left.
Milwaukee pushed it to 7-5 in the seventh when Andrew Vaughn hit a two-out RBI single, and 8-5 in the eighth on Ortiz's homer.
Los Angeles starter Emmet Sheehan (1-1) allowed five runs and seven hits in three-plus innings.
Key moment
Peralta prevented an even bigger rally in the third when, with four runs in, a runner on third and no outs, he struck out Andy Pages, got Michael Conforto to ground out to shortstop with the infield in and retired Edman on a fly to left.

SIMMONS SAYS: Blue Jays' LaMacchia hit a home run with Clancy
When the Blue Jays hired scout Al LaMacchia, one year before the team played its very first game, they didn't realize what a bonus it was that he happened to live in San Antonio, Texas. And it was during the expansion draft of 1976 that LaMacchia highly recommended a 20-year-old Texas League pitcher with a 6.77 earned run average for the San Antonio Brewers. The pitcher's name: Jim Clancy. 'If it wasn't for Al, I don't think we pick Clancy,' Pat Gillick said on the phone the other day. 'Al lived in San Antonio and he got a chance to see Clancy a lot. He really liked what he saw. He believed in him.' This doesn't happen often from any expansion draft in any sport: Clancy, chosen in the third round of the two-team draft, went on to pitch 12 seasons for the Blue Jays. He started 345 games in all, completed 73 of them, threw 2,204 innings as a stalwart of those early Jays teams. By today's standards of babying pitchers, those numbers are simply astounding. Roy Halladay went on to pitch 12 seasons for the Jays, as well, as a first-round draft pick, throwing fewer innings than Clancy, completing fewer games, making fewer starts. Halladay went on to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame for Clancy is found in the hearts of those who fell in love with the Blue Jays and baseball when they first began in Toronto. Those original players — Ernie Whitt, Otto Velez, Alvis Woods, Doug Ault, Jerry Garvin, all of them from the expansion draft — they're not just a part of history, they're a part of us. They were around when we were just learning the game, grasping it, experiencing it for the first time live, being so much a part of the early years of Major League Baseball in Toronto. The super-sleuth LaMacchia, who played more-than-important roles in the scouting of George Bell, Cito Gaston, Dave Stieb and David Wells with the Jays, went on to become vice-president of the club. He was in that position when the Jays won their World Series in 1992 and 1993. LaMacchia passed away in 2010. The kid with the guitar from San Antonio, Clancy, passed away at the age of 69 earlier this week. 'They both did great jobs for us,' said the legendary Gillick, who knew a little something about doing just that. THIS AND THAT This didn't have to be complicated — the return of Mitch Marner to Toronto for a game against the Maple Leafs. But the NHL made it that way. The game is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 23. It should have been played on a Hockey Night In Canada Saturday. And because Vegas plays the previous night in Boston, the Golden Knights won't skate at Scotiabank Arena on Friday morning, which means there will be no Marner game-day interviews. The NHL is in the entertainment business. There are only a handful of games to be concerned about schedule-wise when a new season is beginning. You don't take a big story and make it small, even accidentally. The Marner Leafs-Vegas scheduling is a failure by the NHL … The Leafs could have a third line this season with 6-foot-4 Nic Roy playing alongside 6-foot-3 Dakota Joshua and 6-foot-2 Bobby McMann. Average weight of the line: 210. That's a Craig Berube-Brad Treliving kind of line, if it ends up that way. The other inspiring part of the trio is that all three are capable of moving up in the lineup if need be … In their best playoff seasons, Joshua scored four goals for Vancouver while Roy had four for Vegas. In the past six playoff seasons, Marner scored eight goals in total, more than two just once. He's listed as six-feet tall and 180 pounds but wouldn't measure quite that … A young hockey writer asked me to compare Marner's time with the Leafs to the career of Mats Sundin. At first, I laughed at the question. But Marner did score at a 92-point pace in his time with the Leafs, 10 more points than Sundin. Here's the major difference though between the two: Sundin was 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and he never had an Auston Matthews or a John Tavares on his line. Where Sundin shone brightest was on the world stage. He was the dominant player in the 2002 Winter Olympics, then he dominated again in 2006 when Sweden won gold at Turino. When it was best-on-best, he was at or near the top. Marner has yet to demonstrate that kind of presence when lights are the brightest. Until he does, he will rank well behind Sundin as an all-time player … The new Leafs winger, Joshua, has been a pro hockey player for six years. He's had one impactful season in Vancouver. The Leafs are gambling that there is more of that in the 29-year-old winger from Michigan … Coach Rod Brind'Amour is the 55th leading scorer in NHL history with 1,184 points. The next 10 scorers who directly follow him on the list: Sergei Fedorov, Bobby Hull, Daniel Alfredsson, Michel Goulet, Nick Lidstrom, Marian Hossa, Bernie Federko, Mike Bossy, Joe Nieuwendyk and Darryl Sittler are all in the Hall of Fame, many of the them being first ballot no-brainers. Brind'Amour, the player, remains on the outside looking in. HEAR AND THERE Barring collapse, the Blue Jays will make the playoffs in the American League, which is a tribute to the kind of season they're having, but also an analysis of how weak the American League and the AL East happen to be. The Yankees, with a thin roster, are a fundamental mess. The Red Sox are winning and looking like trade sellers at the deadline. Tampa Bay had a moment in time and Baltimore is too far back to matter … The emergence of Addison Barger means the need for the Jays to pick up a bat at the deadline is not as absolutely necessary as it might have been. If somehow Anthony Santander can come back from injury and contribute something that gives the Jays a batting order that includes George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Barger, Alejandro Kirk and possibly Daulton Varsho, plus Santander, that's the strongest everyday lineup in the AL East … The Jays could use another closer and a front-end starter, neither of which will come cheap. They have a difficulty with trading. They don't have a roster player they can afford to give up who has much trade value. And they don't have a deep pool of prospects that would enable them to nab what they need come playoff time. I'd like to see the Jays go back to their friends in Cleveland and come away with closer Emmanuel Clase … The starter who might fit the Jays best: Mitch Keller in Pittsburgh … The real challenge for the Jays: Finding a pitcher better than Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios or Chris Bassitt, which might be impossible … If I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I'd be in buying mode. If I had Paul Skenes pitching and the monster Oneil Cruz hitting, I'd want to build around power hitting and power pitching for as long as they're around … What's the best Jays outfield ever? Lloyd Moseby between Jesse Barfield and George Bell or Devon White in centre with Joe Carter in right, Rickey Henderson or Candy Maldonado in left … The group trying to get Stieb a second look at the Baseball Hall of Fame have at least one thing they can't do anything about: Stieb pitched fewer innings — in some cases significantly fewer — than Tommy John, Luis Tiant, Orel Hershiser, Curt Schilling and Fernando Valenzuela — all of whom have Hall of Fame-like numbers. Stieb pitched 2,895 major-league innings. John pitched 4,710 with a lower career earned run average. SCENE AND HEARD I was really hoping that Shawn Lemon, soon eligible to play again in the CFL after his suspension for gambling, would sign with Hamilton or Winnipeg. Lemon has already played for Edmonton, Calgary, B.C., Toronto, Ottawa, Saskatchewan and Montreal. If he winds up with Hamilton and eventually Winnipeg, I believe that would make him the first player in CFL history to play for all nine teams. Sadly, for me anyhow, Lemon signed on in Montreal … What happened to the $9-million offer sheets Sabres defenceman Bowen Byram was supposed to get? He wound up re-signing in Buffalo for just more than $6 million. Put me down on the short list of those who can see the Sabres challenging for a playoff spot in the East next season after 14 straight seasons of missing out … I must be the wrong age to appreciate Pat McAfee screaming WWE-like introductions for batters in the Home Run Derby, but it sure didn't sound like baseball to me … The Gillick credo used to be: Believe nothing you see in spring training and September. That reminds me of the NBA Summer League, which tells you more about who can't play than who can. Very early, the Raptors' first-round pick, Collin Murray-Boyles, looks like he can play a little … And every time I see his name, I think of the comedy actor Brian Doyle-Murray, brother of Bill Murray … The best part of baseball's all-star game: The Hank Aaron tribute … My television squawks of late: How do they put on the ESPY Awards, and do the memorial section on who passed away in the past year, and forget (or choose not) to font the names of the photos of those who died. It was easy to recognize Henderson or Pete Rose. Not so easy for most of the others …. The bad on TV: How is it possible that Sportsnet ran a tribute to Clancy on television and ran a photo of the late Mike Flanagan instead? How do you get the wrong guy on a 12-year Blue Jay? The good: Sportsnet was quick on the apology. AND ANOTHER THING If I'm Sportsnet, the rest of my summer would be spent trying to hire Bryan Hayes as the next host of Hockey Night in Canada . And if you can get his teammates from Overdrive, well, I'd do that, too … If you love football in any way at all, you have to love the Luke Willson instructional video following CFL games … Without quarterbacking, Calgary Stampeders won just five games last season. With Vernon Adams Jr., under centre this year, the Stamps are 5-1, with two wins over Winnipeg. Dave Dickenson is a much smarter coach when he has a quarterback almost as good as Dave Dickenson … Football has been very good to the Watt brothers of Pewaukee, Wisc.: T.J. Watt just signed for $123 million in Pittsburgh to add to the $121 million he's already made. Older brother J.J. Watt made $129 million in his brilliant NFL career. So when they go for lunch, who pays? … I've watched all four seasons of the excellent television series, The Bear. I still don't understand how the Emmy Awards categorize this as a comedy. It's a well-scripted, well-acted program. But funny, it isn't … If you remove the statistics from Vladdy's 2021 season — played in mostly minor-league ballparks, with 48 home runs — he is basically averaging 26 homers per year. He had 12 as of Saturday afternoon. Finishing with 26 is not out of the question …. This is the Blue Jays season in a nutshell. They won 4-0 Friday night against the Giants. The runs were knocked in by Will Wagner (2), Joey Loperfido and Nathan Lukes … Carl Yastrzemski, baseball's Triple Crown winner in 1967, a three-time batting champion and four-time OPS leader, retired after the 1983 major-league season. Seven years later, his grandson, Mike Yastrzemski, was born. Mike has spent the past six years with the San Francisco Giants … If you didn't love Scottie Scheffler before he won all his tournaments or dominated The Open as he has done the past three days, you had to embrace him for his honest and personal words about family meaning more than tournament victories. Few have so eloquently balanced the thoughts between winning and succeeding and doing what matters most to any of us. I've heard similar refrains from coaches over the years who talk about how fleeting winning is — and how losses, as difficult as they may be, gnaw away at you forever … Happy birthday to Ilie Nastase (79), Peter Forsberg (52), Pavel Datsyuk (47), Terry Murray (75), Ray Allen (50), Dwight Powell (34), Tony Oliva (87), Stephen Strasburg (37), Ian Beckles (58) and Zack Werenski (28) … And, hey, whatever became of Rob Niedermayer?

Yankees, after battering Braves' bullpen, striving for series win
(Photo credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images) The New York Yankees will try to ride the momentum from one of their most impressive victories of the season to a series win on Sunday when they complete a three-game road set against the Atlanta Braves. The Yankees trailed 5-0 and 7-2 on Saturday before coming back to win the game on Trent Grisham's grand slam in the ninth inning. The victory ended New York's three-game losing streak and kept the Yankees three games behind Toronto in the American League East. New York is trying to win the season series against Atlanta for the first time since 2021. 'It's a big win, but no one is surprised,' said New York's Anthony Volpe, who had two homers and a sacrifice fly in the victory. 'We're confident in each other and we know we could do this every night.' A pair of right-handers will get the start in the series finale -- New York's Marcus Stroman (1-1, 6.66 ERA) against Atlanta's Grant Holmes (4-8, 3.77). Stroman missed 2 1/2 months with knee inflammation and didn't return until June 29. In the three starts since his return from the injured list, Stroman is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA. In three early-season starts before the injury, he was 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA, allowing 12 runs in 9 1/3 innings. 'I'm just pitching confident,' Stroman said. 'Just really allowing myself to be myself. I'm not shying away from who I am as a pitcher.' In his most recent appearance on July 10 against the Seattle Mariners, Stroman pitched five innings and allowed two runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The Yankees won 6-5 in 10 innings. 'Just another gritty performance,' New York manager Aaron Boone said afterward. 'I thought he pitched well.' Stroman has been effective against the Braves. In nine career starts, he's 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA. He faced Atlanta once in 2024 and got a win after throwing 6 2/3 innings and allowing three runs in an 8-3 Yankees' victory. Holmes has grown his role from being a spot starter to the No. 2 man in a rotation that has been hammered by injuries. This will be his 20th start of the season, and he has produced eight quality starts. Holmes has been hampered by the lack of run support. In only one of his eight losses have the Braves scored more than one run. But Holmes struggled with a high pitch count and shaky control in his final outing before the All-Star break on July 11 at St. Louis. He worked three innings and threw 86 pitches, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks, with a season-low one strikeout. Holmes has made one career appearance against the Yankees, throwing one scoreless inning of relief last season. It would be helpful if Holmes could work deep into the game and give the Atlanta bullpen a rest. The relievers struggled on Saturday, allowing nine hits, four of them homers. Rafael Montero was the only one of six relievers who did not allow a run. 'We just didn't do a real good job after the fourth,' Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. 'It's going to be hard to sustain that, you know, where you're using everybody. ... They're going to need to be big for us.'

MLB roundup: Brewers beat Dodgers again, win 9th straight
(Photo credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images) Isaac Collins and Joey Ortiz hit home runs, William Contreras added a two-run double, and the visiting Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to a season-best nine games while remaining perfect against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an 8-7 victory on Saturday. The Brewers won even as All-Star right-hander Freddy Peralta (12-4) tied a season high by allowing four runs in five innings. Trevor Megill pitched the ninth inning for his 23rd save as Milwaukee improved to 5-0 against Los Angeles with the finale of the season series Sunday. Neither team has swept the other in a season series since the Brewers moved to the National League in 1998. Shohei Ohtani hit one of three home runs for the Dodgers, who have lost nine of their last 11 games. With a struggling Mookie Betts getting the night off for Los Angeles, Will Smith had two hits out of the No. 2 spot of the lineup. Yankees 12, Braves 9 Trent Grisham hit his third career grand slam in the ninth inning to propel visiting New York to a come-from-behind win over Atlanta. Grisham hit a slider from Raisel Iglesias into the right field seats to give the Yankees their first lead of the game and help end their three-game losing streak. It was Grisham's 17th homer, tying his career high. Luke Weaver pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and earned the win. Anthony Volpe sparked the New York offense with a pair of home runs, his 11th and 12th, and a sacrifice fly. The Braves had built a 5-0 lead thanks in part to a 438-foot solo homer by Michael Harris II, his first since June 13, and a three-run homer by Ozzie Albies. Albies added a two-run single in the fifth to give Atlanta a 7-2 lead before New York's rally. Cubs 6, Red Sox 0 Shota Imanaga threw seven scoreless innings, and Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker slugged back-to-back home runs in the first as Chicago blanked visiting Boston. Imanaga (7-3) allowed just five hits while striking out five and walking one, helping the Cubs take the weekend series and win their fourth straight game. Matt Shaw, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ each added solo homers for Chicago, which now holds the majors' best record (59-39). Boston starter Brayan Bello (6-4) allowed three runs on six hits in the loss, striking out four and walking one. The Red Sox have lost two straight after posting a 10-game winning streak to end the first half. Reds 5, Mets 2 Jake Fraley matched a season high with three hits, including a go-ahead RBI single, as Cincinnati rallied from an early two-run deficit to win in New York. Fraley had two doubles and Spencer Steer added two hits for the Reds, who won for the sixth time in seven games to improve to a season-high five games over .500. Brett Baty homered and singled for New York, while Luis Torrens added two hits. Mark Vientos also singled and drove in a run. Marlins 3, Royals 1 Shortstop Otto Lopez drove in all three runs as host Miami defeated Kansas City. Lopez's two-run double in the eighth inning snapped a 1-1 score. Xavier Edwards added a triple, a double and two runs scored as the Marlins improved to 21-10 over their past 31 games. Miami's Cal Quantrill pitched a season-high six innings, allowing two hits (both singles), no walks and no runs while striking out three. Ronny Henriquez (6-1) earned the win, and Anthony Bender pitched a scoreless ninth, earning his third save. Reliever Lucas Erceg (4-3) took the loss for the Royals after Michael Wacha pitched six innings, allowing three hits, one walk and one run with one strikeout. Salvador Perez led the Royals at the plate with a homer. Blue Jays 6, Giants 3 Eric Lauer pitched six strong innings, Tyler Heineman had a homer and three RBIs and host Toronto defeated San Francisco. Lauer (5-2) allowed two runs, two hits and no walks with seven strikeouts. Addison Barger was 4-for-4 for the Blue Jays, who have won the first of two games of the three-game series. Will Wagner had a two-run double for the second game in a row for Toronto, which had a 14-4 advantage in hits on Saturday. Willy Adames hit two solo home runs for the Giants. Starter Logan Webb (9-7) completed six innings, allowing four runs, 11 hits and one walk with one strikeout. Phillies 9, Angels 5 Kyle Schwarber belted a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning to vault Philadelphia to a home win over Los Angeles. Bryce Harper also homered for the Phillies after hitting two bombs in Friday's 6-5 defeat in the series opener. Nick Castellanos, Trea Turner and Johan Rojas drove in the other runs for Philadelphia. Phillies starter Taijuan Walker allowed three runs and nine hits over four innings before handing the ball over to the bullpen. Taylor Ward, Jo Adell and Yoan Moncada hit home runs for the Angels. Yusei Kikuchi allowed two runs and five hits over five innings before the Los Angeles bullpen scuffled to the finish line. Rays 4, Orioles 3 Tampa Bay came from behind with a three-run eighth inning -- sparked by excellent baserunning -- to beat visiting Baltimore. After tying the game with a single, Chandler Simpson stole his 27th base and went to third on a wild pitch as Jose Caballero walked. Caballero promptly stole his league-leading 32nd base -- and the Rays' third steal of the inning -- to put runners at second and third with one out, and both runners would come in to score. Seranthony Dominguez (2-3) took the loss after giving up three runs (two earned) in 1/3 of an inning in the eighth. Edwin Uceta (6-2) picked up the win with two innings of scoreless relief. Pete Fairbanks earned his 16th save despite giving up a run in the ninth. White Sox 10, Pirates 4 Mike Tauchman's go-ahead, bases-clearing double highlighted a six-run sixth inning that propelled Chicago to a comeback win over host Pittsburgh. Tauchman and Lenyn Sosa each had three RBIs to lead the White Sox to their second win in a row following the All-Star break and their third win in the past five games. After Chicago starter Adrian Houser gave up four runs (three earned) in 4 1/3 innings, the White Sox bullpen held the Pirates scoreless the rest of the way. The Pirates, who lost their second in a row and have lost 10 of their last 11 games, led 3-0 and rookie starter Mike Burrows took a no-hitter into the fifth inning. After Burrows left the game following the fifth, Caleb Ferguson (2-2) gave up four runs on four hits and recorded only one out. Rangers 4, Tigers 1 Rowdy Tellez hit a three-run home run to back a strong start by Kumar Rocker as Texas defeated struggling Detroit in the second of three-game series in Arlington, Texas. Tellez's homer was a boon for Rocker (4-4), who allowed one hit, walked three and struck out six over 6 1/3 innings of work. Tellez, who was signed to a minor league contract on July 5 by the Rangers a week after being released by Seattle, wasn't on the team until Friday, when he went 0-for-3. The Tigers did not get a runner past second base until a Riley Greene home run to open the ninth inning. Detroit starter Keider Montero (4-2) went 4 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Diamondbacks 10, Cardinals 1 Eugenio Suarez hit two home runs and drove in three and Corbin Carroll had three hits, including two triples, as host Arizona topped St. Louis to win its third straight game. Geraldo Perdomo had three singles and four RBIs and Ryne Nelson gave up one run in six innings for the D-backs, who have outscored the Cardinals 17-4 in the first two games of the series. Nelson (6-2) gave up four hits, with Alec Burleson's homer in the sixth the only damage. Nelson is 4-0 with a 2.29 ERA in his last seven starts. Suarez has 33 homers and leads the NL with 81 RBIs. Carroll leads the majors with 12 triples. Masyn Winn had three hits for the Cardinals, who have lost 10 of 14. Sonny Gray (9-4) gave up 11 hits and a career-high nine runs (eight earned) before leaving in the fourth. Athletics 8, Guardians 2 Shea Langeliers and Jacob Wilson both hit two-run home runs and Luis Severino earned his first win in more than a month as the Athletics scored the final eight runs of the game to win in Cleveland. Severino (3-11) went five innings, allowing two runs on three hits in snapping a five-start losing streak. The right-hander struck out three and walked two in an 86-pitch outing. Jack Perkins and Justin Sterner combined for four hitless innings to wrap up the three-hitter. Rookie first baseman Kurtz went 3-for-5 and drove in two runs, and speedy center fielder Denzel Clarke fell a homer shy of hitting for the cycle for the Athletics. The Guardians lost for just the second time in nine games. Rockies 10, Twins 6 Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman homered as host Colorado rallied to beat Minnesota in Denver to clinch the Rockies' first home series win of the season. Tovar was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBIs, and Goodman also drove in three runs. Kody Clemens was 2-for-4 (double, triple) with three RBIs in the loss, the Twins' third straight. Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela (4-13) earned the win after allowing three runs and six hits in seven innings with a walk and three strikeouts. Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews (1-2) gave up five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings with a walk and six strikeouts in taking the loss. Nationals 4, Padres 2 Mitchell Parker tossed six solid innings and Nathaniel Lowe homered to help host Washington double up San Diego and snap a five-game losing streak. Drew Millas added a two-run single for Washington, which won for just the second time in its past 11 contests. Parker (6-10) allowed two runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out four and walked one while winning for the first time since beating the Padres in San Diego on June 23. Luis Arraez and Jose Iglesias each had two hits for San Diego, which lost for just the second time in the past six games. Padres starter Yu Darvish (0-2) gave up three runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out one and walked one. Mariners 7, Astros 6 (11 inn.) Rookie Cole Young singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning as Seattle defeated visiting Houston for the Mariners' fifth straight win. With Dominic Canzone the runner at second to start the inning, Miles Mastrobuoni put down a sacrifice bunt to move Canzone to third. Young lined a single down the right field line off Houston's Hector Neris (3-2) to win it. Both teams scored in the 10th. Houston pinch hitter Taylor Trammell's sacrifice fly brought home the go-ahead run in the top of the inning. The Mariners tied it in the bottom half as Cal Raleigh scored from third on a fluke groundout off the knob of Dylan Moore's bat.
