Phillies' Galvis suspended 50 games

Philadelphia Phillies rookie infielder Freddy Galvis was suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball yesterday for testing positive for a banned substance. Galvis, 22, is on the disabled list with a back injury and will begin serving his suspension immediately. MLB said Galvis tested positive for a metabolite of Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance.

Phillies 7, Rockies 2:Cole Hamels threw eight sharp innings, John Mayberry Jr. and Carlos Ruiz hit two-run homers and last-place Philadelphia started a 10-game homestand with just its fourth win in 16 games.

Rays 5, Nationals 4: Even without throwing a pitch, Tampa Bay's Joel Peralta left his mark on the game. The reliever was ejected when Washington manager Davey Johnson asked the umpires to check Peralta's glove while the pitcher was warming up in the eighth inning in Washington. The check found "a significant amount of pine tar," according to crew chief Tim Tschida. The umpires carried the glove off the field and tossed Peralta.

Indians 3, Reds 2: Cincinnati scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th on a wild pitch, but closer Aroldis Chapman gave up Asdrubal Cabrera's two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the inning to win it for Cleveland.

Tigers 6, Cardinals 3: Justin Verlander allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading host Detroit over St. Louis. Verlander (7-4) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced and worked out of a seventh-inning jam to help Detroit hold on.

Red Sox 7, Marlins 5: David Ortiz hit his 17th homer and Clay Buchholz won his fourth straight start as Boston won for the fifth time in six games. The win came at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox had lost their previous three games, six of seven, and are just 15-19 this season.

White Sox 2, Cubs 1: Travis Wood pitched six strong innings for his first win as a starter in more than a year and the Cubs beat the host White Sox. -- AP
