Jasson Dominguez established career highs of three homers and seven RBIs to help the New York Yankees post a 10-2 victory over the Athletics on Friday night at West Sacramento, Calif.
The switch-hitting Dominguez hit a solo shot from the left side in the third inning, a bases-empty blast while hitting right-handed in the seventh and blew the game open from the left side with a grand slam in the eighth. Dominguez, who never previously had more than one homer or three RBIs in a game, also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. At 22 years and 91 days old, he became the youngest Yankee ever to produce a three-homer game.
Will Warren (2-2) pitched a career-long 7 1/3 innings and held the Athletics to four hits. The lone run charged to Warren scored after he exited the game, when reliever Mark Leiter Jr. yielded an RBI single to Jacob Wilson.
Paul Goldschmidt also homered as the Yankees racked up 14 hits to win their third straight game. Goldschmidt, J.C. Escarra, Ben Rice and Jorbit Vivas each had two hits for New York. Nick Kurtz had two hits for the Athletics, who also received an RBI single by Lawrence Butler while losing their third consecutive contest.
Dodgers 14, Diamondbacks 11
Shohei Ohtani had three hits, and his three-run homer capped a six-run ninth inning as Los Angeles rallied past Arizona in Phoenix.
Los Angeles overcame a three-run deficit after squandering a five-run lead. Ohtani hit a 1-2 pitch from Ryan Thompson with one out to break a tie at 11-11. Earlier in the inning, Andy Pages and Enrique Hernandez had RBI doubles and Max Muncy tied it with an RBI single off Kevin Ginkel (0-1), who gave up four straight hits to open the ninth.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a grand slam and five RBIs, Ketel Marte homered twice and Eugenio Suarez and Randal Grichuk also went deep for the D-backs in the slugfest, which featured seven homers and 14 extra-base hits. Ohtani added two doubles and four RBIs and Hernandez had a homer, three hits and three runs for the Dodgers, who earned their major-league-leading 14th comeback victory.

Bailey Falter threw six shutout innings and allowed two hits to help host Pittsburgh beat Atlanta and snap a seven-game losing streak.
The Pirates triumphed in Don Kelly’s debut as Pirates manager, which came one day after Derek Shelton was fired after six seasons in Pittsburgh. Falter (2-3) struck out three and walked two on 89 pitches. But closer Dennis Santana nearly let the advantage slip away before locking down his fourth save.
The Braves didn’t have an extra-base hit until Eli White tripled off Santana to lead off the ninth. White scored two batters later on a sacrifice fly by Michael Harris II. Santana then allowed a single to Alex Verdugo and an RBI single to Drake Baldwin.

Randy Vasquez (2-3) earned his first win since April 9, allowing six hits and two runs in six innings.
Antonio Senzatela (1-6) suffered the loss after giving up nine hits and eight runs (four earned) over 4 2/3 innings. Colorado fell to 6-32 with its seventh straight loss.

Hunter Brown posted his fourth scoreless start of the season and host Houston registered a shutout victory over Cincinnati in the opener of a three-game interleague series.
The Astros snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Reds behind another strong start from Brown (6-1), who finished an out shy of recording his eighth quality start in as many appearances this season. Although he issued a season-high four walks in 5 2/3 innings, Brown surrendered only two hits and recorded a season-high-tying nine strikeouts for a fourth consecutive outing.
Reds right-hander Nick Martinez (1-4) proved relatively elusive over his six innings. He allowed a season-high 10 hits but did not issue a walk.
Guardians 6, Phillies 0
Angel Martinez hit a two-run home run, Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo had solo shots and Gavin Williams pitched five scoreless innings as Cleveland beat visiting Philadelphia.

Liam Hicks homered for Miami, which lost for the 10th time in its last 12 games. The Marlins were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 11 runners on base.
Royals 2, Red Sox 1 (12 innings)
Freddy Fermin roped an RBI single in the 12th inning, after Michael Lorenzen and Hunter Dobbins both delivered stellar starts, and Kansas City recorded a season-high seventh straight win, edging Boston.
After Cavan Biggio’s sacrifice bunt moved placement runner Michael Massey to third, Fermin dropped a Sean Newcomb pitch into left field to send the Royals to their 16th win in 18 games.
Lorenzen allowed just three hits and struck out seven without a walk through seven innings. The rookie Dobbins lowered his ERA to 2.78 after giving up five hits over six innings. Boston’s Rafael Devers and Kansas City’s Vinnie Pasquantino each had an RBI in the 11th.
