Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 13:39:28 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nathaniel Lowe hit a game-ending RBI single with one out in the ninth inning and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Marcus Semien, who had already extended his majors-best hitting streak to 24 games with two hits, had a one-out walk in the ninth off Génesis Cabrera (1-1). Semien scored the winning run when Lowe hit an opposite-field grounder through the left side of the infield. Corey Seager had followed Semien with a single, a popup to shallow left field that third baseman Nolan Arenado chased down but was unable to catch. Rangers closer Will Smith (1-2) worked a scoreless ninth for the victory. The Cardinals, who have lost four straight, tied the game in the eighth after loading the bases with no outs against rookie reliever Grant Anderson. Some botched baserunning cost them a chance to take the lead after Paul Goldschmidt’s sacrifice fly.Arenado then had...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola’s strikeout total was up — the Phillies’ ace would tie his career-high with 12 — and so was his pitch count.

Trea Turner’s best game with the Phillies and a shutdown effort from the bullpen kept the game in control and preserved Nola’s finest outing of the season.Nola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Turner homered twice for the first time with the Phillies among his four hits to lead Philadelphia to its third straight win, 8-3 over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.Nola (5-4) fanned 10 and had fac...
