MLB wrap: White Sox shut out Indians; Phillies pull away from Cardinals image

The White Sox shut down the Indians on Tuesday while the Phillies pulled away from the Cardinals.

Lucas Giolito threw 7 1/3 scoreless innings to lead Chicago to a 2-0 win over Cleveland at Progressive Field. He surrendered three hits, walked three and struck out eight while throwing 105 pitches.

Relievers Jace Fry and Alex Colome preserved the shutout by combining to record the final five outs.  

Yoan Moncada put Chicago in front with an RBI single in the third and James McCann added an insurance run three innings later.

Offense, meanwhile, wasn’t Philadelphia’s problem against the Cardinals.

The Phillies scored early and often en route to an 11-1 win over St. Louis.

Philadelphia broke the game open with six runs in the second, highlighted by a grand slam from Bryce Harper, his first with the team.

The Phillies tacked on two more runs each in the fifth and seventh to cruise to the victory. Rhys Hoskins finished with four hits and three runs scored in the victory.  

Studs of the night

Hunter Pence became the oldest player in Rangers history to register at least three extra-base hits and four RBIs in a single game.

DJ LeMahieu gave the Yankees a walk-off win over Seattle.

Dud of the night

Blue Jays designated hitter Rowdy Tellez went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts against the Twins. Toronto fell, 3-0.

Highlights

Ryan O'Hearn clears the bases for the Royals.

Kevin Kiermaier makes the leaping catch.

What’s next

Mariners (19-19) at Yankees (21-14) — New York will be going for its third straight win in the four-game series Wednesday. Jonathan Loaisiga is set to take the mound for the Yankees while Seattle will counter with Yusei Kikuchi.
