NEW YORK — Elly De La Cruz tripled and homered in his first game at Yankee Stadium, helping the Cincinnati Reds overcome Aaron Judge’s major league-leading 32nd home run in a 5-4 victory over New York on Tuesday night.

Will Benson and De La Cruz hit two-run homers in a four-run fifth as the Reds built a 5-0 lead over the Yankees, who have lost 11 of their last 15 games.

Judge homered in the seventh off Sam Moll for his third hit. He leads the major leagues in batting average (.321), homers and RBI (83).

De La Cruz, appearing in his 183rd big league game, has tripled and homered together five times, matching Ted Williams for the most since 1901 in a player’s first 185 games.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

GUARDIANS 7, WHITE SOX 6: Pinch-hitter Bo Naylor delivered a sacrifice fly to center field with one out in the ninth inning, sending Cleveland to a win at home.

Andrés Giménez opened the ninth with a single off Michael Kopech (2-7), went to second on a groundout to first and took third on a wild pitch by the right-hander.

Naylor, who has bumped his average over .200 by hitting .304 in his last 15 games, then lifted a 3-2 pitch deep enough to score Giménez without a throw from center fielder Luis Robert Jr.

BLUE JAYS 7, ASTROS 6: George Springer hit a three-run home run against his former team, Spencer Horwitz added a solo homer and Toronto beat visiting Houston.

Yordan Alvarez homered and scored twice as Houston almost came back from a 7-0 deficit, but the Astros lost for just the second time in their last 12 games.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

CARDINALS 7, PIRATES 4: Nolan Gorman hit his second career grand slam, and St. Louis won at Pittsburgh.

METS 7, NATIONALS 2: Brandon Nimmo had two RBI in his return from a harrowing hotel room accident, and New York won at Washington for its second consecutive extra-innings victory.

Nimmo, who cut his forehead when he fainted and fell Sunday night, entered in the fourth inning after Harrison Bader was pulled following a collision with the wall in right-center field. In the eighth, he drove in Francisco Lindor for a tying RBI single, and then was part of a barrage of hits against Robert Garcia (0-3) once the game went to extras.

As part of a five-run 10th, José Iglesias doubled to put the Mets ahead, Nimmo also doubled and Pete Alonso crushed his 18th homer. Lindor homered earlier for New York’s first run of the game.

NOTES

MARLINS: Veteran shortstop and former AL batting champ Tim Anderson was designated for assignment by Miami.

Anderson struggled offensively throughout his 65-game stint in Miami, hitting .214 in 234 at-bats with three extra-base hits.

“It’s never an easy day when you have to DFA one of your everyday players,” Marlins Manager Skip Schumaker said before a series-opening game against Boston. “Tim was awesome in the clubhouse. I didn’t know him before this year and he was one of the harder workers I’ve ever been around.”

Anderson didn’t fulfill the offensive expectations the Marlins anticipated when he signed a one-year free agent deal. The 31-year-old Anderson played his first eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox and batted over .300 four consecutive years. In 2019, Anderson hit .335 and won the AL batting title.

Injuries and a drop-off in production affected Anderson’s final season in Chicago. The White Sox declined the $14 million club option on Anderson’s contract and he became a free agent.

First-year Marlins president Peter Bendix made Anderson his first notable free-agent addition, signing him to a one-year $5 million deal in February.

“It’s one thing if the guy’s not putting in the work and that’s an easy move. This was not one of those cases,” Schumaker said. “Tough day for us and I hope he lands on his feet somewhere because he’s still young and still has a lot to give to the game.”

The Marlins recalled infielder Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville to take Anderson’s spot on the roster.

ALL-STAR FUTURES GAME: The last two No. 2 overall Major League Baseball draft picks will play for the National League in the All-Star Futures Game featuring top prospects.

Washington’s Dylan Crews, the second pick in 2023, and Arizona’s Druw Jones (2022) headline a group that includes a dozen former first-round selections on both the National League and American League rosters. The teams were announced for the July 13 game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Crews is ranked as MLB’s No. 4 overall prospect by Baseball America and Jones is the Diamondbacks’ No. 3 prospect. The Detroit Tigers’ No. 3 pick in last year’s draft, Max Clark, is among the former first-rounders on the AL team. He is rated as the Tigers’ top hitting prospect and the No. 10 overall prospect in the majors.

The game will be followed by a hitting contest before the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game.

Two former Texas Rangers stars will serve as managers. Four-time All-Star Adrian Beltre, a 2024 Hall of Fame selection, will manage the AL Futures team. Seven-time All-Star Michael Young, the 2005 American League batting champion, leads the NL team.

The seven-inning game features top minor league prospects competing as part of All-Star Saturday. The National League vs. American League format was introduced in 2019 after 20 years of U.S. vs. World matchups.

Major League Baseball, the MLB Pipeline, Baseball America and the 30 Major League clubs selected the 27 players named to each team. That includes 25 active players and two inactive players designated for injury/call-up replacements. Each Major League organization is represented and players from all player development leagues were eligible.

Nasim Nunez drove in three runs to lead the NL to a 5-0 victory last year in Seattle.

Of past players from past Futures Games, 87.9% have gone on to play in at least one Major League game, and 232 total players (20.7%) have been selected to play in at least one Major League All-Star Game.

RANGERS: Shortstop Corey Seager was out of the lineup for the second straight game since getting hit by a pitch on his left wrist.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Seager took some swings before the series opener at home against San Diego, and was doing better since getting hit Saturday night. The shortstop went to the ground before getting up and walking off the field after getting struck on a check swing in Baltimore.
