Reliever Santillan strikes out Bohm with bases loaded in the 8th, Reds beat Phillies 9-6
Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo lasted only two-plus innings and Reds starter Andrew Abbott — both pitchers entered with seven wins — couldn't get out of the fourth. The Reds or Phillies scored at least one run in each of the first six innings and the defending NL East champion Phillies finished with 14 hits. The Reds had 11.
Nick Castellanos hit a two-run homer in the first inning to help stake Luzardo to a 3-0 lead.
Luzardo pitched like an All-Star deep into May with an ERA hovering under 2.00 through his first 10 starts. He has been rocked in most of his outings since. He allowed a run in the second inning and gave up two run-scoring singles, a sacrifice fly and Steer's double in the third that made it 6-3.
Elly De La Cruz added an RBI single in the fourth and the Reds tacked on two more runs in the fifth for a 9-4 lead.
Sam Moll — one of seven Reds pitchers — tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the win and Emilio Pagán got his 19th save. Santillan truly saved the game when he caught Bohm looking on a 98 mph fastball to keep the score 9-6.
Trailing 7-4 in the fifth, the Phillies had runners on the corners with one out and Kyle Schwarber at bat. Schwarber hit a comebacker to the pitcher, who got the forceout at second. Edmundo Sosa hesitated on the basepath and got a late jump before he decided to scurry home. De La Cruz nailed Sosa at the plate to end the inning.
Reds manager Terry Francona moved four wins away from becoming the 13th manager to win 2,000 games.

Tigers All-Star 2B Gleyber Torres (neck) OK after exiting vs. Guardians
Detroit Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday's game against the host Cleveland Guardians in the first inning due to a neck contusion but apparently avoided a serious injury. Tigers All-Star 2B Gleyber Torres (neck) OK after exiting vs. Guardians Tigers manager A.J. Hinch termed Torres' removal as precautionary, while Torres indicated to reporters after Detroit's 1-0 win that all was fine. Torres was injured on a force play at second base to end the inning off a grounder hit by teammate Riley Greene. Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio had to lunge to grab a behind-the-back flip from second baseman Johnathan Rodriguez and Rocchio's elbow connected with the sliding Torres. Torres stopped on the ground before the bag and was attended to for a few minutes before exiting the field. "He got elbowed in the neck, which kind of jarred him," Hinch said. "He needed a minute and just felt a little off. So we erred on the side of caution and took him out. came to me in the third or fourth inning and gave me the notice that he was doing well and everything was fine. Hopefully, that was just a scare. It obviously looked painful and was kind of an awkward collision." Javier Baez moved from shortstop to second base in the bottom of the first and Mark Sweeney entered to play shortstop. Torres, 28, walked in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to 18 games. The All-Star starter is batting .279 with nine homers and 44 RBIs in 77 games.

Mets ace Kodai Senga throws 68 pitches in rehab start and could return next weekend
NEW YORK — Mets ace Kodai Senga pitched into the fourth inning Saturday night in a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton against Hartford. Mets ace Kodai Senga throws 68 pitches in rehab start and could return next weekend Senga allowed four runs, three earned, and six hits while striking out four and walking two in 3 2/3 innings. The right-hander threw 44 of 68 pitches for strikes. One of 13 Mets pitchers on the injured list, Senga could return to New York's ravaged rotation next weekend in Kansas City just before the All-Star break. Senga strained his right hamstring covering first base on June 12 and the Mets went into a 3-14 tailspin afterward. He is 7-3 with a 1.47 ERA in 13 starts this season. Earlier in the day, Zach Pop signed a one-year contract with the Mets and joined their bullpen before a Subway Series game against the New York Yankees. The right-hander wasn't used as the Mets won 12-6 for their fourth straight victory. Pop made four relief appearances for the Seattle Mariners in June before getting designated for assignment last weekend. Rather than accept an outright assignment to the minors, he elected free agency on Wednesday. Right-hander Austin Warren was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after throwing 34 pitches over 1 2/3 innings in relief Friday for the Mets during their 6-5 victory over the crosstown-rival Yankees. Right-hander Tyler Zuber was designated for assignment to clear a spot for Pop on the 40-man roster. Pop permitted one run over 4 1/3 innings in his first three outings with the Mariners but then was tagged for eight runs — seven earned — in one inning June 26 at Minnesota. He gave up six hits, two walks and two homers in that game. The 28-year-old Pop grew up in Canada before going to college at Kentucky. He is 8-5 with a 4.75 ERA and one save in 162 major league games over five seasons with Miami, Toronto and Seattle. In other news, right-handed starter Tylor Megill is beginning to play catch. Lefty reliever Brooks Raley has been pitching well during his minor league rehab assignment but isn't expected back until after the All-Star break, manager Carlos Mendoza said.

Casey Mize shines as AL-leading Tigers edge Guardians
Spencer Torkelson hit a solo home run and Casey Mize pitched seven dominant innings in a combined four-hitter as the visiting Detroit Tigers edged the Cleveland Guardians 1-0 on Saturday night. Casey Mize shines as AL-leading Tigers edge Guardians Torkelson went deep in the second inning against Logan Allen , sending his 20th homer of the year onto the shelf in right field. American League- leading Detroit has won five of its last seven games and is 12 1/2 ahead of second-place Minnesota in the AL Central. Mize scattered four hits over a season-high 102 pitches, one short of his career high. The right-hander walked two and struck out four while not allowing a runner to reach third base. Brant Hurter pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and Tommy Kahnle allowed a two-out walk to Daniel Schneemann in the ninth before striking out Kyle Manzardo for his ninth save. The Guardians dropped their ninth in a row, matching their longest losing streak since a nine-gamer in 2021. Cleveland has been outscored 41-13 during the skid, being shut out five times and held to less than three runs in seven of the games. Torkelson had both Tigers hits against four Guardians pitchers, coming within five feet of another homer in the fourth after sending a ball high off the wall in left for a long single. Allen worked six innings, giving up one run on two hits. The left-hander struck out five and walked two but lost his third straight start all at home, where the Guardians were booed throughout the evening. Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres exited the game with a bruised neck after an inning-ending collision with the elbow of Cleveland's Brayan Rocchio in the first. Torres was running toward second on a grounder hit by teammate Riley Greene when Rocchio received an off-target throw from second baseman Angel Martinez. Rocchio caught the ball, but his elbow struck Torres on the face as he slid short of the bag. He remained prone on the dirt for several minutes before leaving the field.
