LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning with a groundout after Mookie Betts homered again to help Los Angeles tie it in the ninth, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Dodgers 6-5 on Saturday night. The Cardinals turned a hit batter, a catcher’s interference, and a balk into a five-run seventh inning and led 5-3 in the ninth. The Dodgers tied it against Ryan Helsley (1-0) on a one-out home run from Betts and a game-tying single from Max Muncy with two outs. Betts has a home run in four consecutive games.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ozzie Albies, Matt Olson, Marcell Ozuna, and Michael Harris II all homered and an expected battle of aces fizzled early in the Atlanta Braves’ 12-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phillies. Atlanta’s Max Fried lasted only seven batters, walked three, and got just two outs before he was chased in the first inning trailing 3-2. Aaron Nola gave up 12 hits and seven runs for the Phillies. Ronald Acuña Jr., Albies, Harris, and Ozuna all had three hits on Saturday. Jess Chavez pitched three innings out of the bullpen to pick up the win.
NEW YORK (AP) — Rhys Hoskins drove in four runs, a day after his hard slide into Jeff McNeil caused dugouts to empty, and Yohan Ramírez was ejected for throwing behind the Milwaukee designated hitter’s back the Brewers’ 7-6 victory over the New York Mets. Hoskins hit a two-run single in a three-run first inning, followed with a two-run homer in the third, and singled and scored on a balk in the fifth by Luis Severino, who gave up a career-high 12 hits in his Mets debut. Ramírez’s first pitch to Hoskins in the seventh sailed well behind the right-handed hitter. Ramírez was ejected by plate umpire Lance Barrett.
