Gabriel Moreno finished a fantastic July in style as his RBI single in the eighth inning lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-1 victory over the host Cleveland Guardians on Friday.

The Diamondbacks catcher was 1-for-3 and also reached on a hit by pitch as he extended his on-base streak to 27 games and a franchise-record 46 starts. In 25 games during July, he batted .362 (34-for-94) with three home runs and 19 runs driven in.

Arizona did all of its damage in the top of the eighth, wasting what was a masterful performance by Guardians starter Tanner Bibee (4-11). For the first seven innings, the right-hander, 27, limited the Diamondbacks to just two hits.

Bibee got Adrian Del Castillo swinging to start the eighth, but he then walked Tim Tawa. Ryan Waldschmidt (2-for-3) followed with a single to end Bibee’s night. The Progressive Field crowd gave him a standing ovation as he exited, but the bullpen could not preserve the lead.

Erik Sabrowski walked Corbin Carroll to load the bases and gave up a single to Geraldo Perdomo (2-for-4) to tie the game.

Then it was Moreno’s turn. He took a 1-0 offering the other way to right field to bring home Waldschmidt with the go-ahead run. The base hit glanced off Angel Martinez’s glove, allowing the remaining runners to advance a base and make it 3-1.

Bibee limited the Diamondbacks to three hits and a walk over 7 1/3 innings. His two runs were earned, and he struck out three and hit a pair of batters.

Rookie starter Mitch Bratt nearly matched Bibee as the left-hander went five innings for Arizona. He gave up three hits and four walks, and the only Guardians run came in the first.

Jose Ramirez walked with one out and stole second. After another out, Rhys Hoskins’ single put the Guardians ahead.

Four Diamondbacks relievers allowed just a walk to Cleveland over the final four innings. Jonathan Loaisiga (3-3) gave up that free pass in the seventh but earned the win. Brandyn Garcia got his second save in as many games.

Steven Kwan got two of the Guardians’ three hits and worked a walk as the outfielder had a perfect night at the plate.

Gunnar Henderson’s two-run triple with two outs in the seventh inning lifted the Baltimore Orioles past the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

Pete Alonso homered for the Orioles, who notched a four-run uprising in the seventh to produce their first back-to-back victories in nearly two weeks.

Anthony Nunez (3-2) picked up the win with two-thirds of an inning. Taylor Ward pitched the ninth for his fourth save.

Trea Turner and J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phillies, who’ve lost eight of their last nine games. Turner finished with three hits — half of Philadelphia’s total. Andrew Painter posted a rare strong effort as a Phillies starter, but it didn’t pay off.

Painter, appearing in his first big-league game since June 17, delivered a quality start. Over six innings, he held the Orioles to two runs on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts.

The Orioles tied the game on Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s two-run double with one out in the seventh against Orion Kerkering (6-1).

Baltimore starter Brandon Young went 5 2/3 innings, charged with four runs on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts. He had surrendered only two runs across 13 1/3 innings over his previous two starts.

The Phillies have lost Painter’s last six outings. He hasn’t won since his big-league debut March 31 vs. Washington.

The game’s first three batters reached base, with Turner’s leadoff infield single resulting in a run following a walk and Bryce Harper’s RBI single. Brandon Marsh’s groundout provided another run for a 2-0 edge.

It took only two batters for Baltimore to pull even. Dylan Beavers led off with a double and Alonso followed with his team-leading 23rd home run of the season.

Leading off the third, Turner belted a go-ahead home run, his 16th of 2026.

After Alonso’s single in the third, Painter retired the next 10 batters before issuing a walk to Taylor Ward in the sixth.

Realmuto’s first home run since July 8 was his eighth of the season as the Phillies regained a two-run advantage in the sixth.

Janson Junk and four relievers combined on a seven-hitter Friday night for the visiting Miami Marlins, who beat the New York Mets 5-2, leveling the four-game series at one win apiece.

Jakob Marsee, Joe Mack and Xavier Edwards had RBI hits during a four-run fifth inning for the Marlins, who have won four of five following a 12-game losing streak. Kyle Stowers added a solo homer in the sixth.

A.J. Ewing had a run-scoring single and Francisco Lindor homered for the Mets, who fell to 7-7 since the All-Star break. Carson Benge went 3-for-4.

Junk (5-6) gave up an unearned run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings. The 30-year-old right-hander, who made his fourth start since returning from the injured list July 9, retired the first 10 batters he faced and didn’t allow a hit until Benge doubled with two outs in the fourth.

Cade Gibson, Calvin Faucher and Tyler Zuber combined to allow one run over three innings before Pete Fairbanks threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 16th save.

Kodai Senga (0-8) took the loss as the last-second starter for the Mets, who scratched Freddy Peralta because New York is involved in trade talks involving the impending free agent. Senga allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four over four-plus innings.

Senga, making his first start since June 23, allowed just one hit — Mack’s third-inning double — through four innings before tiring in the fifth. Griffin Conine and Heriberto Hernandez worked walks to open the frame before Marsee chased Senga with a two-run double to right.

Mack greeted Xzavion Curry with a run-scoring single and went to second on Javier Sanoja’s groundout before scoring on Edwards’ two-out bloop single.

The Mets scratched out an unearned run in the bottom of the fifth. Jorge Polanco reached on a two-out error at first base by Stowers. Francisco Alvarez walked before Polanco scored on Ewing’s single to center.

Stowers went deep with one out in the sixth, and Lindor homered off the second deck in right in the seventh.
