MLB report: Trea Turner's HR in 9th ties it, Alex Bohm's single in 10th wins it for Philadelphia Phillies

Trea Turner had a good reason to be able to handle the Philly boos aimed at the scuffling shortstop after chasing two balls in the dirt and striking out in the seventh inning.

Philly fans can’t bring the heat like mom can from home.

“She told me today she was booing me,” Turner said with a laugh.

Donna Turner might fit in faster among Phillies fans than Turner has with the team in his first season in the Philadelphia lineup.

Turner eventually made mom proud when he tied Wednesday’s game with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, and Alec Bohm hit the winning single in the 10th to rally the host Phillies from five runs down in a 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Turner delivered his first highlight-reel hit for the Phillies when he connected to leftfield off reliever Jose Ruiz (1-1) with two outs, tying the score at 5. Turner has been mired in a brutal slump that forced the $300 million shortstop to admit this week that he’s been playing poorly.

Phillies fans booed Turner off the field in the seventh inning after a particularly ugly at-bat in which he wasn’t even close to connecting on two swings on balls in the dirt.

“She texted me and said good game except for that fourth at-bat,” Turner said.

All was forgiven in the ninth.

“Obviously, I’m a better player than I’ve played the last little bit,” Turner said

Rangers 3, Pirates 2: Martín Pérez pitched seven strong innings, and Marcus Semien hit the 16th leadoff homer of his career for visiting Texas.

Pérez (6-1) allowed two runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts to win his fifth straight decision. The 32-year-old lefthander induced 12 groundball outs, including a pair of inning-ending double plays.

Will Smith struck out Jack Suwinski with the bases loaded in the eighth then worked a ninth for his ninth save. Texas won for the fifth time in six games to move 13 games over .500 (31-18) for the first time since the end of the 2016 season.

Semien took the second pitch of the game from Johan Oviedo (3-4) and sent it into the leftfield stands for his eighth home run of the season, extending his hitting streak to 14 games in the process. Josh Jung and Nathaniel Lowe had two hits each for Texas, which got all the offense needed during a three-run first against Oviedo.

Pittsburgh joined the Houston Astros as the only team to record multiple immaculate innings in the same month since 2000. Reliever Colin Holderman struck out the side against Tampa Bay on May 4. Houston pitchers Phil Maton and Luis Garcia recorded the feat in June 2022.

White Sox 6, Guardians 0: Michael Kopech (3-4) struck out nine and allowed two hits in seven dominant innings, and Romy González had a two-run double for visiting Chicago.

Kopech, who retired the first 16 batters in his last start against Kansas City, did not allow a baserunner until Josh Naylor singled leading off the fifth. The righthander walked one and extended his shutout streak to 15 innings in his last two outings.

The Guardians only pushed one player into scoring position and were blanked for the sixth time. Andrés Giménez had the other hit off Kopech, who held the Royals and Cleveland to a combined three singles while striking out 19 in back-to-back wins.

González’s drive into the rightfield corner highlighted a five-run fourth against Guardians starter Cal Quantrill (2-3). Jake Burger and Seby Zavala added sacrifice flies in the inning as the White Sox went up by six.

Brewers 4, Astros 0: Adrian Houser allowed two hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his first victory of the season and visiting Milwaukee homered three times. Willy Adames hit a two-run blast in the first inning to put the Brewers ahead for good. Owen Miller and Brian Anderson added solo shots in the seventh.

After homering four times off 2021 Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes and posting their highest hit and run totals of the season in a 12-2 victory Monday, the Astros went scoreless in the final two games of this series. Colin Rea and four relievers combined on a five-hitter Tuesday in the Brewers' 6-0 triumph that ended Houston's eight-game winning streak.

Houser, who spent April recovering from a right groin strain, struck out three and walked one in his fourth appearance of the season. This comes five days after he pitched six shutout innings in a 1-0 loss at Tampa Bay.

His surge is a huge lift for a Brewers pitching staff that is dealing with shoulder injuries to two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff, Eric Lauer, Wade Miley and Aaron Ashby.

The Brewers got all the offense they would need in the first inning against Astros starter Brandon Bielak (1-2). After Christian Yelich led off with a double to left, Willy Adames delivered a 429-foot blast over the centerfield wall.

Twins 7, Giants 1: Edouard Julien returned to the leadoff spot and hit a home run, knocked in two runs and scored twice as host Minnesota ended a three-game losing streak. Joe Ryan gave up six hits, struck out four and allowed a run in five innings in picking up his seventh win in eight decisions. Four relievers finished up on a day San Francisco left 15 runners on base and went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

Ryan, a diehard Giants fan while growing up in Marin County, California, came into the game the American League’s No. 4 pitcher in ERA. He pitched fewer than six innings for the first time this season.
