Washington — Jacob deGrom had 10 strikeouts in 7⅔ innings against Washington’s makeshift lineup, and the New York Mets beat the Nationals 4-2 on Friday.

DeGrom (14-7) allowed one run on five hits. He upped his strikeout total to 201 this season by fanning the side in the seventh.

Matt Reynolds and Dominic Smith drove in runs during the eighth for a 3-0 lead.

Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes left in the first inning with a right hamstring strain.

Mariners 2, Yankees 1 (11)

New York — Yonder Alonso homered on a 100 mph fastball from demoted closer Aroldis Chapman in the 11th inning, and Seattle outpitched New York.

Mike Zunino homered and had three hits for the Mariners, right in the middle of a crowded race for the second AL wild card. They used seven pitchers to hold down the Yankees, who lead the wild-card chase, but trail first-place Boston by 4½ games in the AL East.

Alonso entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth and sent a drive to center field with two outs in the 11th against Chapman (4-3), the $86 million reliever who recently lost his job as closer. The struggling lefty was booed again as he walked off the mound after the inning.

Twins 6, Blue Jays 1

Toronto — Bartolo Colon pitched 6⅔ innings for his second straight win, Byron Buxton had three hits and two RBIs and Minnesota beat Toronto.

Joe Mauer had three hits and scored twice as Minnesota snapped a seven-game losing streak north of the border. The Twins had not won in Toronto since June 11, 2014.

Marlins 8, Padres 6

Miami — Giancarlo Stanton homered twice, increasing his major league-leading total to 49, and tied a career high with five RBIs to help Miami climb above .500 for the first time since April.

Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer, his 30th, to put Miami ahead to stay in the seventh inning.

Stanton has nine multi-homer games this season, the most in the majors since Jose Bautista had nine with Toronto in 2010.

Braves 5, Rockies 2

Atlanta — Julio Teheran won at home for the first time in four months, Matt Kemp and Kurt Suzuki hit home runs and Atlanta beat Chad Bettis and Colorado.

Teheran (8-11) snapped an Atlanta record streak of nine straight home losses as he allowed two runs and five hits with no walks in 7⅓ innings. Kemp and Suzuki each hit first-pitch homers off Bettis (0-1).

Indians 4, Royals 0

Cleveland — Rookie Ryan Merritt pitched a career-high 6⅔ innings and the Indians recorded their AL-leading 13th shutout.

Merritt (1-0) was called up from Triple-A Columbus before the game to take the injured Danny Salazar’s spot in the rotation. The 25-year-old left-hander scattered seven hits for his second career win, both coming against Kansas City.

Phillies 7, Cubs 1

Philadelphia — Rhys Hoskins hit another homer and Cesar Hernandez ripped a three-run triple to back Jerad Eickhoff, helping Philadelphia beat Chicago.

Called up from the minors too late to get a nickname on the back of his uniform for Players Weekend, Hoskins has put on a tremendous power display. He has nine homers and 21 RBIs in 16 games.

Reds 9, Pirates 5

Cincinnati— Rookie Robert Stephenson fanned a career-high 11 Pirates, and Scott Schebler drove in three runs with a homer and his first triple of the season, leading Cincinnati.

Stephenson (2-4) stymied Pittsburgh with sharp-breaking pitches in his fifth start and 19th overall appearance, allowing two runs in 5⅔ innings.

The right-hander fanned the first six batters for a modern Reds record, according to information from the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the team.

White Sox 3, Tigers 2

Chicago — Tim Anderson led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a double and Yolmer Sanchez followed with an RBI single that sent the White Sox over Detroit for their third straight win.

Anderson had a game-ending hit Wednesday against Minnesota. This time, he easily scored on Sanchez’s single to right field off Joe Jimenez (0-2).

Suspensions Handed Out for Brawl

New York — Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been suspended seven games and New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez got banned four games for their actions on a fight-filled afternoon at Comerica Park.

Major League Baseball announced the penalties Friday, a day after the Yankees and Tigers got into a series of beanball-related clashes during Detroit’s 10-6 victory.

Also suspended were Tigers reliever Alex Wilson (four games), New York catcher Austin Romine (two games) and Detroit manager Brad Ausmus (one game).

With the Yankees in the middle of a pennant race, the team said Sanchez and Romine will both appeal and remain eligible to play until the process is completed.

Indians’ Miller Still Out

Cleveland — Indians All-Star reliever Andrew Miller will be shut down from throwing for five to seven days because of tendinitis in his right knee.

The Indians said Friday that a more definitive timeframe for Miller’s return will be established once he resumes his throwing program.

Miller was placed on the disabled list for the second time this month after facing only two batters Monday against Boston.
