BOSTON (AP) — Jean Segura’s infield single broke up Brayan Bello’s no-hit bid with nobody out in the eighth inning, and the Miami Marlins followed with three more hits to break a scoreless tie and beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 on Thursday night.
Bello held the Marlins hitless through seven, retiring major league batting leader Luis Arraez all three times he faced him. Arraez, who also drew an intentional walk in the eighth, saw his batting average drop from .396 to .392.
Bello (5-5) was charged with an earned run when Chris Martin relieved him and gave up an RBI single to Jon Berti that made it 1-0. Jazz Chisholm Jr. added a solo homer in the ninth.
The Red Sox only managed one hit of their own in the first six innings against Marlins lefty Jesus Lazardo before chasing him in the seventh with back-to-back singles by Rafael Devers and Adam Duvall.
But reliever Andrew Nardi (6-1) pitched out of trouble by striking out Masataka Yoshida and getting Christian Arroyo on a comebacker to the mound. Boston registered just four hits in all, and also played sloppy defense.
A.J. Puk pitched the ninth for his 13th save.
WHITE SOX 9, ANGELS 7
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Eloy Jiménez and Zach Remillard had two-run singles in the third inning and the Chicago White Sox beat Los Angeles 9-7 on Thursday, overcoming Shohei Ohtani’s Angels-record 14th homer in June.
The Japanese superstar broke the team mark for home runs in a month in the ninth inning with a two-run shot to left-center off Kendall Graveman’s slider. Ohtani leads the majors with 29 homers and is batting .309.
Mickey Moniak, Mike Moustakis and Hunter Renfroe also homered for Los Angeles. The Angels were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Mike Trout added three hits and made a leaping catch at the center field wall in the fourth inning to rob Andrew Vaughn of a solo shot.
The White Sox trailed 4-1 before scoring six runs off Patrick Sandoval (4-7) in the third inning. It is the fourth time this season Chicago has plated at least six in an inning. Yasmani Grandal and Clint Frazier also had RBI hits in the third.
Lance Lynn (5-8) got his first win since May 26. The right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out seven in six innings.
PIRATES 5, PADRES 4
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Henry Davis capped his first three-hit game with go-ahead single in a three-run seventh inning that rallied Pittsburgh for a three-game sweep that stretched San Diego's losing streak to five.
The Padres have lost eight of 10, dropping seven games under .500 at 37-44.
Davis, the top pick in the 2021 amateur draft, had two RBIs and raised his average to .351. He is 13 for 37 (.351) since his June 18 recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and has a seven-game hitting streak.
Nick Gonzalez began the comeback from a 4-0 deficit with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, and Davis cut the deficit to 4-2 with an RBI single in the sixth.
Tim Hill (1-2) relieved Joe Musgrove starting the seventh and walked pinch-hitter Rodolfo Castro leading off, and rookie Jared Triolo singled. Jake Suwinski had a run-scoring infield it and Triolo scored on throwing error on the play. Davis put Pittsburgh ahead with his single.

ROYALS 4, GUARDIANS 3, 10 INNINGS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — José Ramirez daringly stole home for the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, but Kansas City rebounded to beat Cleveland on pinch-hitter Freddy Fermin’s two-run double in the bottom half.
Standing on third with two outs and an 0-2 count on Andrés Giménez and left-hander Aroldis Chapman (4-2) working from the stretch, Ramirez took five small steps toward the plate and burst home. He slid headfirst and slapped his right hand on the plate as catcher Salvador Perez gloved the high sinker and lunged forward. Umpire Jeremy Riggs called Ramirez out, but the call was reversed in a video review, giving Cleveland its first steal of home since Leonys Martin on June 15, 2019.
Nicky Lopez singled off Emmanuel Clase (1-5) leading off the bottom half, moving automatic runner Kyle Isbel to third. One out later, Fermin lined a pitch into the left-field corner, easily scoring Isbel and allowing Lopez to score standing up.
BREWERS 3, METS 2
NEW YORK (AP) — Devin Williams struck out Starling Marte to strand the bases loaded in the ninth inning and Milwaukee dropped New York a season-high nine games under .500.
The $355 million Mets are 36-45 and have lost 18 of 24. New York hasn’t won a series since sweeping Philadelphia from May 30 through June 1 and have lost two in a row since owner Steve Cohen said manager Buck Showalter and general manager Billy Eppler were not in danger of losing their jobs.
Williams got his third save of the series and 16th in 17 chances this season.
Victor Caratini hit a tying, two-run homer off Max Scherzer in the sixth inning and Brian Anderson hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly against Dominic Leone in the seventh.

TIGERS 8, RANGERS 5
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Spencer Torkelson homered twice and Andy Ibañez had the go-ahead RBI single for Detroit, which had another pitcher get hurt.
Ibañez broke a 3-3 tie as all four batters that faced reliever Joe Barlow (1-1) to start the seventh inning reached base. John King then got out of that jam with a strikeout and a double-play grounder, though the reliever gave up Torkelson’s second homer the next inning.
Ezequiel Durán homered in his third straight game and Leody Taveras also went deep for the Rangers.
Torkelson put Detroit up 3-2 with his one-out solo shot in the fifth that chased Rangers rookie starter Cody Bradford. Torkelson’s three-run shot in the eighth, which made it 8-3, was his 11th homer of the season. It was his first career multihomer game.
Mason Englert (4-2), the fourth of seven Detroit pitchers, allowed a run pitching the sixth.
