MARLINS 2, GIANTS 1
MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Stowers homered and scored on Otto López’s go-ahead double to lead Miami to a win against San Francisco.
Ryan Gusto and four relievers limited the Giants to four hits as the Marlins won their eighth straight at home. Miami is a major league best 14-4 in June.
Neither team scored after López snapped a 1-all tie in the fourth when his line drive rolled to the warning track in right and scored Stowers from first. Stowers drew a two-out-walk, the only one issued by Logan Webb.
Webb (4-5) scattered five hits over eight innings for his first complete game of the season and fourth of his career. The right-hander has completed eight innings in each of his last three outings.
John King (4-1) relieved Gusto and threw 1 1/3 innings. Calvin Faucher got the next four outs and Michael Petersen threw a perfect eighth. Lake Bachar allowed a leadoff walk against Rafael Devers in the ninth but then retired Jung Hoo Lee and Willy Adames for his first save.

Isaac Paredes, who had three hits, had an RBI single in the fourth, but the Guardians cut the lead to 2-1 in the fifth on an groundout by Travis Bazzana that drove in Petey Halpin, who had tripled.

RANGERS 4, PADRES 3
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wyatt Langford hit a three-run homer, Josh Jung had a go-ahead RBI single and Texas beat San Diego to end a six-series losing streak against the Padres.
The Rangers preserved a one-run lead over the final five innings a day after failing to hold a two-run lead late in a 6-4 loss in 10 innings. The series clincher was just the fourth victory for Texas in its past 20 meetings with San Diego.
Nathan Eovaldi sparkled for five of his six innings after the Texas right-hander’s start was pushed back a day because of left knee soreness.
The fourth inning was a different story. Eovaldi allowed six hits and three runs right after Langford’s three-run shot, which was the leadoff hitter’s sixth homer of the season.
Eovaldi (7-7) struck out a season-high nine, eight of those coming while he allowed just one hit and a walk in his other five innings.
PIRATES 8, ROCKIES 6
DENVER (AP) — Nick Gonzalez and Bryan Reynolds homered to help Pittsburgh beat Colorado.
Gonzalez and Reynolds finished with two hits each to help Pittsburgh salvage the finale of the three-game series in what could have been a sweep. The Pirates lost the first two games despite having the tying and winning runs on second and third with one out in the ninth in both games.
Pittsburgh starter Jared Jones left the game after he was struck on the right elbow on a comebacker to end the third inning. The ball deflected to Gonzalez at third, who threw out TJ Rumfield. The Pirates announced initial tests on the elbow were negative.
Yohan Ramirez (5-2) took over in the fourth and tossed two scoreless innings.

TWINS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2
PHOENIX (AP) — Alex Jackson’s single tied the game in the seventh and the go-ahead run scored on an error, leading Minnesota to a victory over Arizona.
The rally spoiled the major-league debut of Arizona’s José Cabrera. Called up to make the start Sunday, the 24-year-old Dominican held the Twins to three hits in five-plus innings, including a strikeout of Byron Buxton with two on and two out to end the third inning. He struck out three.
Cabrera threw 62 pitches, 42 for strikes, and was pulled after Jackson’s bunt single leading off the sixth.
Royce Lewis led off the seventh with a single. Juan Morillo (2-4) retired the next two hitters, then Ryan Kreidler singled with Lewis going to third. Pinch-hitter Josh Bell singled to drive in Minnesota’s first run, then Jackson singled to right to make it 2-2. Corbin Carroll’s throw to third hit Bell as he slid and got past Nolan Arenado, which allowed Bell to score.
Cody Laweryson (1-0) pitched the sixth and picked up his first major-league victory. Anthony Banda pitched the ninth for his second save.
