Aroldis Chapman allowed his first hit since July 23, and the Athletics rallied in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, avoiding a series sweep. Shea Langeliers led off the ninth with a double off Chapman (4-3), who had gone a span of 50 batters and a franchise-record 17 appearances, the third-longest streak in MLB history since 1901.

ST. LOUIS The Giants lost to the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Saturday night at Busch Stadium as closer Ryan Walker allowed three runs in the bottom of the ninth without recording a single out, ending San Francisco's winning streak at five games. Nolan Gorman and Mason Wynn led off the bottom of the ninth with back-to-back singles, then Walker loaded the bases by plunking Jimmy Crooks.

In the bottom of the tenth inning of the Phillies' game against the Red Sox, Phillies infielder Edmundo Sosa was in the batter's box with the bases loaded and no outs. With the count at 1-2, Sosa checked his swing to take an outside pitch from Red Sox reliever Jordan Hicks. Immediately after taking the pitch, Sosa turned to the home plate umpire and pointed at Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez.

Mike Tauchman delivered a walk-off in the 11th inning with a swinging bunt, scoring Colson Montgomery and securing a 5-4 win against the Guardians.

Tim Elko acknowledged some of his at-bats on Thursday against the Tigers weren't his best. He struck out three times in his first four, chasing breaking balls out of the zone and watching a fastball land for strike three.
