WriterPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rhys Hoskins erased an ugly start with one big
swing.Hoskins hit a three-run homer, Scott Kingery had a solo shot and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 9-6 on Thursday night to split
their doubleheader.In the first game, Jose Bautista hit a grand slam and had a
career-high seven RBIs as the Mets set a franchise record for runs, prompting
the Phillies to use two position players to pitch the final three innings of a
24-4 rout.Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler defended the decision to use Roman
Quinn and Kingery on the mound in the opener and took plenty of heat from fans
and media on social media.His players backed him up.“You trust Gabe,” Hoskins
said. “It’s worked. We don’t see any madness in his method.”The Phillies moved
within 1½ games of NL East-leading Atlanta.The Mets began the nightcap with
three straight doubles on Zach Eflin’s first four pitches. Michael Conforto’s
two-run double made it 2-0.But then Hoskins crushed one high off the foul pole
to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead in the bottom half against Steven Matz (5-10),
just activated from the disabled list. Hoskins, who went deep in both ends of
the twinbill, has 11 of his 25 homers since the All-Star break — and three in
the last four games.“Rhys set the tone,” Kapler said. “We’re not down for long.
We can take a punch and come out swinging.”The Phillies added three runs in the
second. Kingery homered, Wilson Ramos had an RBI single and Cesar Hernandez
swiped home on a double steal.Eflin (9-4) gave up four runs and seven hits in 6
2/3 innings. Seranthony Dominguez got the last two outs.“I was in a funk the
whole night and didn’t have my best command, but my slider saved me,” Eflin
said.In the opener

leadoff homer and had three RBIs and the Mets took advantage of four errors to
score 11 unearned runs.Even reliever Jerry Blevins got his first career hit, a
line-drive RBI single off Kingery.“There’s nothing better,” Blevins said. “It’s
something you dream about as a kid. When I tell the story, I’ll say I turned
around a 95 (mph fastball). It’s pretty awesome.”The Mets scored more than 15
runs in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history. They beat
Baltimore 16-5 Wednesday night.Hoskins, Maikel Franco, Nick Williams and Jorge
Alfaro went deep for the Phillies.Quinn, the team’s fourth outfielder, gave up a
homer to Conforto on his second pitch — a 79 mph fastball. Quinn got five outs,
gave up seven runs and threw 42 pitches. Kingery went the final 1 1/3 innings
and allowed two runs.Mets right fielder Brandon Nimmo left the game after
injuring his left index finger hitting a grounder to third base with two outs
and the bases loaded in the third. Nimmo fell to the ground as the ball rolled
to Franco, who was late tagging third but threw to first to easily get the
out.X-rays on Nimmo’s finger were negative and he said he’ll have an MRI on
Friday. Bautista replaced him.“I just said, ‘Oh, crud,'” Nimmo said. “It hit my
knuckle.”Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (1-1) gave up eight runs — four earned —
and 11 hits in four innings. Mark Leiter Jr. allowed seven unearned runs and
four hits in one inning.After Alfaro’s shot cut it to 5-4, the Mets broke loose
for a 10-run fifth. Suarez balked in a run and exited after Bautista followed
with an RBI single. Another run scored on Alfaro’s throwing error on Oswalt’s
sacrifice, and Rosario drove one in on a fielder’s choice grounder.Hoskins then
dropped Austin Jackson’s two-out fly ball for an error, and another run scored.
After Wilmer Flores’ RBI single, Bautista connected for his 10th homer. Bautista
had a chance to hit another slam when he faced Quinn in the eighth but walked on
a 3-2 pitch over his head. Bautista added an RBI double off Kingery.RUN

(AP) — Justin Verlander knew this would be one of the most emotional games of
his major league career.He still wasn’t prepared.In his return to Detroit,
Verlander received three standing ovations while pitching the Houston Astros to
a 3-2 victory over the Tigers on Monday night.Verlander (15-9) made his major
league debut with the Tigers in 2005 and ranks among the top 10 on several of
the team’s career lists. He struck out 10 over seven innings in his first time
on the Comerica Park mound since being traded to Houston in August 2017.“Our
hotel is right near my old house, so I got to spend some time in the
neighborhood today,” he said. “I was trying to keep my routine as much as
possible.”That hope ended early, as the scoreboard played a tribute video as
Verlander was walking in from the bullpen after his pregame warmups. He stopped,
alone in shallow right-center field, and watched the entire show.“It was almost
normal until the tribute video, but that really got to me,” he said. “I had a
lot of great memories in my 13 years here, and that brought it all back. I
wanted to get to the dugout before it started, but once it started playing, I
had to watch.”Verlander received his first ovation at the end of the video, and
another when he came out for the first inning. Each time, he tipped his cap and
waved to the fans.The longest cheer, though
Authentic Bradley Chubb Jersey , came when he walked off the mound after the seventh, having thrown 104 pitches.“The one after the seventh really meant the
world to me,” he said. “The fans here were always great to be here, and they
showed that again tonight. That was a really emotional moment.”The crowd was
announced at 19,711 — the Detroit Lions opened their season next door Monday
night against the New York Jets.“Tonight mattered a lot to him,” Astros manager
AJ Hinch said. “It is important to him that he pitched here and succeeded here,
so it was special for him to get back on that mound.”The World Series champion
Astros opened a three-game lead over Oakland atop the AL West despite a sloppy
game that came after a Sunday night loss in Boston.“I’m proud of our guys,
because there was a lot going on today, and we didn’t play our best game, but we
still found a way to pull out a win,” Hinch said.Verlander allowed two runs on
six hits and one walk, improving to 98-50 at Comerica Park. Max Scherzer is
second in career wins at the stadium with 46, while Jordan Zimmermann leads
current Tigers with 14.“He got exactly the response he deserved from our fans,”
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He was a great pitcher here for a long
time, and he did a lot of great things for this city.”The Tigers put two runners
on in the seventh, but Verlander struck out JaCoby Jones and Jeimer Candelario
to escape with a 3-2 lead. He tipped his cap again as the fans came to their
feet after the final pitch to Candelario.“This was a special night,” Verlander
said.Roberto Osuna worked the ninth for his 16th save, including seven with
Houston.Francisco Liriano (4-10) allowed three unearned runs on four hits and
four walks in six innings. He struck out seven in his longest outing since
pitching six innings on July 4.The Tigers took the lead in the second. Niko
Goodrum doubled and later scored on a single by Dawel Lugo.Liriano’s wild pitch
and an error by shortstop Ronny Rodriguez allowed the Astros to score three
unearned runs in the third. Tyler White and Marwin Gonzalez hit RBI
singles
http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/bradley-chubb-jersey , while the Tigers failed to turn two potential double plays.“You have to make
plays,” Gardenhire said. “When you miss plays, that’s what always happens. We
had a chance to get some outs, didn’t do it, and it cost us runs.”Verlander
settled down after the second, retiring the next nine batters. Candelario walked
to start the sixth, Christin Stewart followed with his first major league hit
and Nicholas Castellanos had a sacrifice fly.“If someone had told me that I was
going to get my first hit off Justin Verlander in my first major league start .
geez,” Stewart said. “It was a pretty out-of-body experience.”Castellanos made a
leaping catch at the right field fence to take an extra-base hit away from
Gonzalez in the eighth.Josh Reddick, in the game for Houston as a defensive
replacement, started an inning-ending double play in the eighth with a sliding
catch in left field.EARLY STARTThe game started at 6:10 p.m., an hour earlier
than originally scheduled, to try to ease traffic congestion with the Lions
playing at Ford Field. A day game wasn’t possible because of the Astros playing
on Sunday night in Boston.UP NEXTThe teams continue their three-game series
Tuesday night with Zimmermann (7-6, 4.03 ERA) facing Houston’s Framber Valdez
(3-1, 1.37).
