Ohtani and Trout put on a show for LA Angels

Shohei Ohtani blasted a pair of two-run home runs and Mike Trout and Taylor Ward hit one each to lift Los Angeles over hosts Chicago 12-5.

Chad Wallach’s solo shot in the ninth punctuated the team’s five-homer afternoon. Angels starter Jaime Barria (2-2) scattered one run and four hits with three walks and six strikeouts in five innings.

Andrew Vaughn and Yasmani Grandal both had a pair of hits for the White Sox, who added a run on Clint Frazier’s pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh. Jake Burger hit a solo home run in the ninth. Hanser Alberto closed the scoring with a two-run double.

Jean Segura hit the tying single in the bottom of the ninth off the San Diego Padres’ star closer Josh Hader and Nick Fortes followed with a walk-off hit down the right field line as the hosts Miami Marlins rallied for a 2-1 win.

With the Marlins trailing 1-0 entering the ninth, Yuli Gurriel worked a walk against Hader (0-1), who has 13 saves this season. Gurriel advanced on Joey Wendle’s sacrifice bunt and scored when Segura smoked a 97-mph sinker past diving shortstop Xander Bogaerts.

Segura took second on the throw home, stole third base and scored easily on Fortes’ single.

San Diego’s Blake Snell pitched six scoreless innings for his best performance of the year, but he got a no-decision. Catcher Gary Sanchez slugged his first homer of the season — one of just two San Diego hits.

Marlins lefty Braxton Garrett took a no-decision, striking out seven. In 5 1/3 innings, he allowed two hits, one walk and one run. He hasn’t won a game since April 22.

Cal Raleigh lined a single to right field to score Jose Caballero from second in the bottom of the 10th inning as hosts Seattle beat New York 1-0 to salvage the finale of the three-game series.

Raleigh’s lead-off hit off Ron Marinaccio (2-2) came after Mariners reliever Justin Topa (1-2) got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th.

Seattle starter George Kirby, a native of New York, who was facing the Yankees for the first time, pitched eight scoreless innings. He gave up three hits, didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven. New York’s Clarke Schmidt allowed three hits in 5 2/3 innings, with one walk and seven strikeouts.
