LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy hit a game-ending grand slam and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-6 on Wednesday, extending their winning streak to a season-high six games.

Bryce Harper doubled to start a four-run second inning and reached base five times in his second game of the season for the Phillies, who lost their fourth straight.

Los Angeles swept the three-game series, outscoring the defending NL champions 36-11 and reaching double digits in every game.

Pinch-hitter Austin Barnes gave the Dodgers a 6-5 lead with a two-run single in the eighth, but Philadelphia tied it in the ninth. Harper singled, Nick Castellanos walked and Bryson Stott delivered an RBI single against Brusdar Graterol (1-1).

Chris Taylor singled leading off the bottom half against former Dodgers reliever Craig Kimbrel (1-1) and stole second. Mookie Betts struck out before Freddie Freeman was walked intentionally. Will Smith drew a walk that loaded the bases, and Muncy launched the next pitch into the right-field seats for his major league-leading 12th home run.

Dodgers rookie Miguel Vargas had a two-run homer and Gavin Stone gave up five runs — four earned — on eight hits over four innings in his big league debut.

Aaron Nola pitched six solid innings for the Phillies, who completed a 2-4 trip. They took 2 of 3 at Houston in a World Series rematch.

PADRES 7, REDS 1: Rookie Brett Sullivan hit his first home run and had his first four RBI, and Juan Soto hit a three-run double to make up for a baserunning blunder that cost Xander Bogaerts a club-record on-base streak as San Diego beat visiting Cincinnati.

The 29-year-old Sullivan hit a two-run double down the right-field line with one out in the second and then drove a two-run homer to right with two outs in the fourth. His double, off Luis Cessa (1-4), snapped the Padres’ 0-for-15 skid with runners in scoring position and brought in Jake Cronenworth and Ha-Seong Kim.

Soto cleared the bases with a two-out double into the right-field corner with two outs in the sixth. He also walked three times to extend his big league lead to 31. He was erased on a double play in the third and then committed an embarrassing baserunning error in the fifth that cost Bogaerts a single.

Soto took off for second on Bogaerts’ sinking liner that bounced just in front of diving right fielder Stuart Fairchild. Soto, who rounded second, thought Fairchild caught it and touched second again as he headed back to first even though Bogaerts and acting first base coach David Macias were motioning for him to go back to second. It was ruled a 9-4 forceout.

Bogaerts had one more chance to extend his club-record on-base streak of 30 games to open a season but he struck out to end the eighth.

BRAVES 14, MARLINS 6: Marcell Ozuna hit a grand slam among his two home runs, Ronald Acuña Jr also homered and visiting Atlanta went deep six times to roll pastMiami.

Acuña’s three-run shot to center field in the fifth inning was his sixth home run of the season and made it 11-4 before Austin Riley homered to left-center to add two more runs.

NATIONALS 2, CUBS 1: CJ Abrams had a tie-breaking RBI single in the seventh inning for the second consecutive game, and Washington beat visiting Chicago.

INTERLEAGUE

TIGERS SWEEP METS: Eric Haase homered in both games of a doubleheader, driving in six runs, and Detroit tagged Max Scherzer in his return from a suspension to sweep visiting New York.

Haase had five RBI in the first game, including a go-ahead single in the eighth inning of a 6-5 comeback win, and then added one of Detroit’s two homers off Scherzer in an 8-1 win in the nightcap.

The slumping Mets have lost 8 of 10. They were playing their second doubleheader in three days after getting rained out three times in the previous four days.

New York had gone 25 doubleheaders without getting swept, since Washington took both games from the visiting Mets on Sept. 26, 2020. That was the second-longest such streak of the expansion era. The New York Yankees went 30 doubleheaders without losing both games between 1996-2006.

GIANTS 4, ASTROS 2: Wilmer Flores homered and Joey Bart and Austin Slater had two hits each to give San Francisco a win at Houston.

Slater drove in a run to put the Giants up in a two-run sixth, and an RBI double by Bart extended the lead to 3-0 in the seventh.

Alex Bregman got Houston within a run with a two-run home run in the eighth before Flores added some insurance for the Giants with a solo shot in the ninth.

DIAMONDBACKS 12, RANGERS 7: Christian Walker homered twice before he drew a bases-loaded walk that put Arizona ahead to stay, ending visiting Texas’ four-game winning streak.

Walker put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-1 with his three-run homer in the third, added a solo shot in the fifth that chased Texas starter Andrew Heaney and walked on four pitches from Jose Leclerc in the seventh that drove in the run that snapped a 7-7 tie.

RAYS 8, PIRATES 1: Shane McClanahan became baseball’s first six-game winner and Tampa Bay routed visiting Pittsburgh.

In a matchup of small-budget teams off to big starts, the major league-best Rays topped the NL Central-leading Pirates for the second consecutive day.

McClanahan (6-0) gave up one run on five hits over six innings, striking out nine and lowering his ERA to 2.03. Josh Lowe and Wander Franco homered off Pittsburgh relievers as the Rays improved to 25-6.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

WHITE SOX 6, TWINS 4: Eloy Jiménez hit a tie-breaking RBI single in the seventh inning, and Chicago beat visiting Minnesota for its third straight victory.

Luis Robert Jr. homered as Chicago secured its first series win of the season. Tim Anderson and Yasmani Grandal each had three hits, and Keynan Middleton worked the ninth for his first save of the season.

YANKEES 4, GUARDIANS 3: Willie Calhoun hit a tying single in the ninth inning and pinch-hitter Jose Trevino came through with a game-ending single in the 10th, giving New York a win over visiting Cleveland as two more New York players got hurt.

Yankees center fielder Harrison Bader, back from the injured list just a day earlier, left after a ninth-inning collision with Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Oswald Peraza limped off after hurting an ankle as a pinch runner.

Calhoun and Jake Bauers homered in the fifth off Shane Bieber as the Yankees erased an early 2-0 deficit.

ROYALS 6, ORIOLES 0: Vinnie Pasquantino homered and drove in three runs, Zack Greinke won for the first time since last August and Kansas City snapped a 10-game home losing streak by beating Baltimore.

Greinke (1-4) won for the first time in 14 starts, allowing just three singles in five innings and striking out three. He threw only 44 pitches – his fewest in a start since tossing 43 for Arizona at Boston on Aug. 14, 2016.

NOTES

TRADES: The Tampa Bay Rays acquired right-hander Chase Anderson from the Cincinnati Reds in a minor league deal for cash.

The Rays later selected Anderson’s contract to the major league roster. Tampa Bay also placed closer Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation and designated right-hander Zack Burdi for assignment.

• The Baltimore Orioles acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the Chicago Cubs for cash.

GUARDIANS: Daniel Espino, Cleveland’s top pitching prospect, is expected to be sidelined for at least one year after having right shoulder surgery.

The Guardians said Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles to repair an anterior capsule in the 22-year-old Espino’s shoulder. ElAttrache, who is the team physician for the Dodgers and the Rams, expects Espino to be sidelined 12 to 14 months.

ASTROS: Jose Altuve resumed some baseball activities this week, but there still isn’t a timetable for when Houston’s star second baseman will return to the team.

Altuve fractured his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic and had surgery to repair the injury March 22. After his surgery, Astros GM Dana Brown said he’d be out at least eight weeks.

MARINERS: Left-hander Robbie Ray underwent Tommy John surgery and a flexor tendon repair on his left elbow and will miss the rest of the season.

Ray will begin his rehabilitation in two to three weeks in Arizona.
