Trumbo, Orioles Slam A’s

Oakland, Calif. — Mark Trumbo hit a grand slam for his major league-leading 32nd homer and drove in five runs to help the Baltimore Orioles beat the Oakland Athletics 9-6 on Thursday.

The Orioles had been shut out for 17 straight innings and lost their lead in the AL East following three consecutive one-run losses in the series before Trumbo sparked them.

The All-Star slugger hit an RBI single in a three-run fourth, then connected the next inning for his third career grand slam.

Chris Tillman (15-4) allowed two runs over seven innings for his first victory since July 21. He’s Baltimore’s first 15-game winner since Bud Norris and Wei-Yin Chen in 2014.

Diamondbacks 9, Mets 0

New York — Last-place Arizona rattled New York’s Noah Syndergaard with four more stolen bases, then broke it open in a six-run sixth inning that included Chris Owings’ bases-loaded triple.

Braden Shipley (2-1) pitched three-hit ball over seven innings in his fourth big league start to help the Diamondbacks sweep the three-game series. Zack Godley and Dominic Leone finished the five-hitter.

Arizona had 13 stolen bases in the series — one shy of Baltimore’s season total, three more than the Diamondbacks’ previous mark for any series and the most in a three-game series against the Mets. Paul Goldschmidt had two of them, and Socrates Brito and Shipley one each.

Kansas City, Mo. — Danny Duffy pitched his first complete game to win his eighth straight decision, and Cheslor Cuthbert had two hits and drove in a run in Kansas City’s victory over Chicago.

The doubleheader was necessitated by a rainout Wednesday night, a game Minnesota led 5-0 in the third before the storms hit.
