ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tyler Glasnow went seven strong innings, Brandon Lowe homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Miami Marlins 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Glasnow (4-3) allowed one run, two hits, two walks and struck out eight.
Jason Adam and Pete Fairbanks completed the two-hitter, with Fairbanks working the ninth for his 12th save.
Lowe made it 4-1 with a sixth-inning solo drive off reliever George Sorian. The Rays improved to 5-14 in July.
Miami’s Luis Arraez went 0 for 4 and had his major league-best batting average drop from .379 to .375.
The Marlins have lost nine of 10 overall, and dropped 10 straight on the road. Miami is 2-19 against the Rays, dating to May 14, 2019.
Yandy Díaz doubled in two runs during a three-run second off Edward Cabrera (5-6). The first baseman left the game in the third with left groin tightness that occured when he made an extended stretch on second baseman Lowe’s throw.
PHILLIES 4, ORIOLES 3: Alec Bohm followed Bryson Stott’s two-out, game-tying RBI double to right field in the ninth inning with a game-winning RBI single, rallying host Philadelphia past AL-leading Baltimore.
Yennier Cano (1-2) allowed a one-out single to Bryce Harper – who had tied the game for the Phillies 2-all in the sixth with a solo homer – and got the second out before he gave up Stott’s sharp double. J.T. Realmuto reached on an infield single off a chopper to shortstop that Jorge Mateo struggled to get out of his glove and made a late throw, extending the inning.
Bohm singled to left past a drawn-in infield and Phillies fans erupted after the comeback victory.
METS 9, YANKEES 3: Pete Alonso homered twice and drove in a season-high five runs, Justin Verlander pitched six shutout innings and the Mets beat the Yankees 9-3 in their Subway Series opener.

ASTROS 4, RANGERS 3: Kyle Tucker and Martín Maldonado homered, rookie starter J.P. France worked seven solid innings and Houston won at home.
The Astros (58-44) moved within a game of the AL West-leading Rangers (59-43). The injury-plagued Astros could see the return of stars José Altuve and Yordan Alvarez on Wednesday when they go for a series sweep and the top spot in the division.
Tucker’s line-drive homer narrowly cleared the wall in right-center, giving Houston a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning.
GUARDIANS 5, ROYALS 1: Bo Naylor had his first career two-homer game and drove in three runs as Cleveland beat Kansas City in Cleveland, handing Royals pitcher Zack Greinke his 16th consecutive road loss.
Naylor hit a 430-foot solo shot to right in the third inning and a 397-foot blast to right-center in the fifth to score Myles Straw for his first home runs at Progressive Field. The 23-year-old rookie catcher entered the game with two home runs.
ANGELS 7, TIGERS 6: Shohei Ohtani had two walks and two runs, Mickey Moniak hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the 10th inning and Los Angeles won in Detroit after blowing a four-run lead in the ninth inning.
Ohtani is potentially in his last week with the Angels. The franchise has to decide whether to risk losing the 29-year-old two-way star in free agency or trade him ahead of the trade deadline next Tuesday.
Angels General Manager Perry Minasian has said it’s highly unlikely the team will trade Ohtani if it remains in playoff contention. Los Angeles, which has been hovering around .500, has improved its standing in the AL wild-card race by winning six of seven games.
MARINERS 9, TWINS 7: Julio Rodríguez homered twice, including a two-run shot in a four-run eighth to tie the game, as Seattle rallied to win in Minneapolis.
After Rodríguez tied the game, Eugenio Suárez came through with a two-run double in the ninth off Oliver Ortega (0-1) to put Seattle ahead after the Mariners trailed 4-0 after the first inning.
Cade Marlowe added his first career homer in his fourth major league game for the Mariners, who have won four of six.
