Max Muncy and Shohei Ohtani hit home runs, the Dodgers scored six times in the sixth inning, and Los Angeles beat the visiting Toronto Blue Jays 9-1. Ernie Clement hit a solo homer in the eighth inning for the Jays, who have lost two straight in L-A and will be aiming to avoid a sweep when the teams wrap up a weekend series on Sunday.
The Boston Red Sox missed an opportunity to close within two games of the A-L East-leading Toronto Blue Jays when they dropped a 5-4 decision in 10 innings to the host San Diego Padres. Ramon Laureano’s walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning scored automatic runner Xander Bogaerts to win the game.
William Contreras homered to cap a four-run seventh inning and the N-L Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the visiting New York Mets 7-4 for their eighth consecutive victory, spoiling Pete Alonso’s record-tying night. Alonso opened the second inning with his 252nd career home run, matching the franchise record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years. But the Mets lost their sixth straight game to fall 4 1/2 games behind first-place Philadelphia in the N-L East.
Rene Paredes kicked a 40-yard field goal on the final play of the game to lift the Calgary Stampeders to a 28-27 win over the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Paredes finished with four field goals and two singles for the Stamps, who snapped a two-game losing skid. Quarterback Vernon Adams Junior returned to the Calgary lineup and threw a pair of T-D passes to Tevin Jones. Sergio Castillo had kicked a 63-yard field goal with 61 seconds left and a single on the ensuing kickoff to give the Bombers a 27-25 lead.
Preston Judd scored four minutes into second-half stoppage time to lift the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 Major League Soccer victory over the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps. The Caps played for almost an hour one man short as Édier Ocampo received two yellow cards in eight minutes and was ejected in the 27th minute.
Kelsey Mitchell had 26 points and eight assists, Lexi Hull added 17 points, and the Indiana Fever defeated the visiting Chicago Sky 92-70 in W-N-B-A action. Rachel Banham led the struggling Sky with 11 points. Elsewhere, Veronica Burton scored 16 points as the Golden State Valkyries crushed the visiting Los Angeles Sparks 72-59. Dearica Hamby led L-A with 15 points.
