Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

Jarred Kelenic's three-run triple with two outs in the eighth inning broke up a pitching duel as the host Seattle Mariners overcame a franchise-record-tying 16 strikeouts by Chicago's Lance Lynn to defeat the White Sox 5-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Julio Rodriguez had a two-run double for the Mariners, who went 4-2 on their homestand. Seattle rookie Bryce Miller (5-3) allowed one run on four hits over seven innings. The right-hander didn't walk a batter and fanned six.

Lynn (4-8) gave up three runs on four hits and walked two in seven-plus innings. The right-hander surpassed his previous best of 12 strikeouts, set on three occasions, and matched the franchise mark set by Jack Harshman on July 25, 1954, against the Boston Red Sox.

Andrew Benintendi provided Chicago's lone run with an RBI single in the sixth. The White Sox totaled six hits.

Reds 9, Astros 7 (10 innings)

Elly De La Cruz and Jake Fraley produced multi-hit games while Fraley drove in three runs as Cincinnati extended its season-best winning streak to eight games, beating host Houston to cap a three-game interleague series sweep.

The Reds answered the Astros' game-tying tally in the bottom of the ninth with three unearned runs in the 10th off Seth Martinez (1-3). Nick Senzel snapped a 6-6 tie by scoring on an Alex Bregman throwing error before De La Cruz added an RBI single and Fraley a run-scoring groundout.

In the bottom of the 10th, Bregman hit a two-out RBI single to make it 9-7, but Alex Young retired Kyle Tucker for his first career save.

Red Sox 4, Yankees 1 (Game 2)

Brayan Bello pitched seven innings against New York for the second time in as many starts, leading host Boston to a sweep of the doubleheader and the three-game series.

Bello (4-4) struck out a career-high eight batters and allowed just one run on four hits and three walks. Alex Verdugo went 2-for-4 with two runs and Triston Casas hit a two-run double for the Red Sox, who are 5-1 against the rival Yankees this season.

Gleyber Torres had a pair of doubles to account for two of New York's five hits. Anthony Rizzo had the Yankees' lone RBI. Yankees starter Luis Severino (0-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits in five innings. He fanned six.

LaMonte Wade Jr. also drove in two runs and Mike Yastrzemski and Blake Sabol each had two hits and one RBI for the Giants. The offense gave Giants ace Logan Webb (6-6) breathing room. In seven innings, he allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, with five strikeouts.
