MLB Roundup: Braves Rally In 9th, Top D-Backs In 11th

Sean Murphy hit a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning and Marcell Ozuna lined a tiebreaking sacrifice fly to center in the 11th as the Atlanta Braves rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night in Phoenix.

Arizona was two strikes away from winning in the ninth when Murphy hit a 431-foot blast to right-center off Paul Sewald. It was Murphy's fifth homer of the season and also represented Sewald's third straight blown save.

Austin Riley also homered for the Braves, who won their third straight game. Corbin Carroll had the lone run-scoring hit for the Diamondbacks, who had just four hits. Arizona missed a chance to move above .500 for the first time since April 3.

Twins 8, White Sox 6 (11 innings) Brooks Lee delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning and Byron Buxton had three hits to boost Minnesota to a victory against host Chicago.

The White Sox rallied for three runs in the sixth inning to take a 5-2 lead, only to see the Twins storm back in the seventh against rookie reliever Jordan Leasure.

Recalled from Triple-A Charlotte before the game, Leasure allowed four runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning.

Rangers 9, Angels 4 Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford each homered and doubled, Nathaniel Lowe had three hits and Texas routed Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.

Marcus Semien went 2-for-4 with a walk for the Rangers, who finished with 12 hits against Angels starter Davis Daniel (1-2) and three relievers.
