La marcha masculina de 20 km. y su historial en los Panamericanos

Las competencias atléticas de los XIX Juegos Deportivos Panamericanos en Santiago de Chile se iniciaron el domingo 22 de octubre con el maratón, ganado por el peruano Cristhian Pacheco -revalidó su título- y la mexicana Citlali Moscote. Este domingo 29 será el turno de las pruebas de marcha de 20 km, antesala de las competencias de pista en el Estadio Nacional. Y por el gran nivel internacional que alcanzaron los atletas sudamericanos en las últimas temporadas, herencia directa del fantástico Jefferson Pérez, ahora hay esperanzas de nuevos lauros para ellos. Entre los animadores de los 20 km seguramente estarán el ecuatoriano Brian Daniel Pintado (defiende su corona de Lima 2019) y el brasileño Caio Oliveira de Sena Bonfim, además de otros ascendentes valores de nuestra región, que enfrentarán a atletas de la clase del medallista olímpico Evan Dunfee, canadiense. Historial  Las pruebas de marcha formaron parte del programa en los I Juegos (Buenos Aires 1951) con los 10 mil metros en pista y los 50 km. en calle. Recién volvieron doce años más tarde, cuando comenzaron a disputarse los 20 km. que se mantienen como la prueba clásica de la especialidad. También, entre 1967 y 2019 se realizaron los 50 km, que últimamente se han discontinuado de la programación de la especialidad. En el historial de la marcha de 20km en los Juegos, México es el país más exitoso con cinco de los 15 títulos, contando allí con primeras figuras mundiales como Ernesto Canto y Carlos Mercenario. A nivel individual, el medallero es dominado por el más grande marchista de la historia continental –y también a nivel mundial en 20 km- el ecuatoriano Jefferson Pérez, quien venció en tres oportunidades en estos Juegos, además de lograr una medalla de bronce. Ahora su compatriota Brian Pintado defenderá la corona obtenida en Lima 2019.   Sao Paulo, 3 de mayo de 1963 1 Alex Oakley CAN 1:42:44- 2 Nicola Marrone CAN 1:46:35- 3 Ronald Zinn USA 1:49:45- 4 Ron Laird USA 1:52:10- 5 Renato de Sousa Coutinho BRA 2:07:47- 6 Adalberto Henrique Pritsch BRA 2:21:33 Winnipeg, 30 de julio de 1967 (20.000 m pista): 1 Ron Laird USA 1:33:05.2- 2 José Pedraza MEX 1:34:50.6-3 Félix Capella CAN 1:35:446- 4 Tom Dooley USA 1:36:49.8- 5 Yvon Groulex CAN 1:39:18.0- 6 Euclides Calzado CUB 1:45:08.8- 7 Eladio Campos MEX 1:49:26.2.

Weird question, but you mentioned "música latina" (I just copy-pasted that from your post, not sure what else to call it since I grew up calling it all Salsa music,) which I love because I spent hours and hours listening to it on the in-game radio in the Sims 2 while I tormented tiny fictional people as all young sims players do lol. Anyway that was also really my only exposure to it for years and I don't really know how to find more so I was hoping you could reccomend a few songs with a fast-paced dancy vibe? I'll definitely be checking out the artists you mentioned in your post too and I also wanted to thank you for even mentioning them because it's pretty helpful! (A lot more useful than me trying to search "salsa music" and getting one song repeated four hundred times in the search result while I feel like an 80-year old asking Facebook how to use the google...)

Omg "Salsa music" I can't 💀 so I did the same shit tbh but with the indie/rock option, that's why I'm now addicted to that kind of music lol

Soo this ones are my favorite to dance and are the ones I remember at the moment lol, tell me if you want more 💖

Sox Beat Up On Twins Again...

Twins 1 White Sox 6 W-Shields (3-9) L-Gibson (2-6)

The Minnesota Twins have struggled big time against bad teams this year. The three bad teams in the division have held their own against them and the White Sox beat up on the Twins bullpen last night. The Sox went back to work tonight in another win in Chicago. A pitcher’s duel broke out at Guaranteed Rate Field. Neither side scored until the fourth inning when the Sox broke out in a big way. Jose Abreu and Daniel Palka singled to start a rally. Leury Garcia doubled home a run and Tim Anderson plated another with a single. Omar Narvaez hit an RBI groundout and the Sox led 3-0 after four frames. In the fifth, Jose Abreu smacked a Kyle Gibson slider out to left for a solo blast. This put Chicago up 4-0 and they weren’t done yet in the sixth. Leury Garcia singled with one out and Omar Narvaez singled with two outs. Charlie Tilson hit a run-scoring single to right and Chicago had a five-run lead. Avisail Garci added another run in the seventh. He smoked a Ryan Pressly offering out to left for a solo shot and the Sox had a six-run edge. Meanwhile, James Shields tossed seven shutout innings. Xavier Cedeno threw a clean eighth, but the Twins would try to comeback in the ninth. Robbie Grossman and Jake Cave walked with two outs. Ehire Adrianza singled home a run to get the Twins on the board. Luis Avilan came on to strike out Logan Morrison to end the game. The Sox won the first two games of this series and will look for a sweep tomorrow afternoon.

-Final Thoughts- Kyle Gibson wasn’t too sharp tonight. He went seven innings and allowed five runs on eleven hits with seven strikeouts and a walk. Ryan Pressly allowed a run in the eighth with two strikeouts. Ehire Adrianza led the team with four of the five hits. The team hit 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base. It looks like Adalberto Mejia will get a start on Saturday against the Cubs. Gene Glynn and Paul Molitor got ejected from the game for arguing a balk that was recended from the umpires. The umpires initially called a balk then took it back. Tomorrow, Jake Odorizzi will face Lucas Giolito in the finale.

Una obra sobre la masculinidad VICEVERSA REGRESA A LOS ESCENARIOS ** El monólogo, cuya dramaturgia es de Tania Campos Thomas, bajo la dirección de Alexandro Guerrero, e interpretado por Oscar Olivier se presentará en diversos foros de la ciudad y el país

Una divertida reflexión sobre los roles de género y la visión de lo que significa “ser hombre” en la sociedad mexicana es lo que entraña la puesta en escena Viceversa, que regresa a  los escenarios en la ciudad de México y el país.

El monólogo, cuya dramaturgia es de Tania Campos Thomas, bajo la dirección de Alexandro Guerrero, e interpretado por Oscar Olivier se presentará en diversos foros.

La dramaturgia es de Tania Campos Thomas, antropóloga y escritora, quien decidió incursionar en el género del cabaret con esta obra. Viceversa pone sobre la mesa la forma en que se construye la heterosexualidad masculina.

Xochipilli, el personaje, monologa en torno a las dificultades de aprender a “parecer hombre”. Hijo de una familia homoparental (con dos padres hombres) y educado sin prejuicios de género, Xochipilli resulta ser heterosexual, lo que es un problema porque nadie de su entorno esperaba que lo fuera y porque su manera de comportarse no es la que espera la chica de la que se enamoró (en este sentido, también hay una crítica a la comunidad gay y a las mujeres que igualmente caen en estereotipos). Su amigo Miguel, a su vez hijo de un hombre terriblemente macho, decide ayudarlo y enseñarle los códigos de conducta que le permitirán “ser un hombre”.

La atribución de características a los roles sociales según el género no afecta únicamente a las mujeres, asegura la autora, quien se propuso mostrar de un modo divertido cómo los hombres se ven limitados en todos los aspectos de su vida por seguir estos patrones: “deben caminar, pararse y sentarse de cierta manera, evitar algunos colores y actividades, considerar cuidadosamente cuándo y cómo es “debido” expresar sus emociones y sentimientos, en fin, comportarse como espera la sociedad que se comporte un hombre para no comprometer su heterosexualidad”, señala Tania Campos.

La autora cuenta que esta obra nació por la petición de un muchacho muy joven que quería decirles a los demás que “ser gay es una orientación sexual tan válida como ser heterosexual” y le solicitó que escribiera algo al respecto: “Pensé –explica-- que era mejor escribir sobre cómo lo que se considera normal puede ser cuestionado, tal vez de esa manera sería más fácil la empatía: más que aleccionar, mi intención era simplemente hacer pensar sobre nuestra propia condición y la de los demás. Para mí es una preocupación constante el respeto a la diversidad en todo sentido; estoy convencida de que conocernos es indispensable para poder abrirnos a conocer a los demás, por eso le apuesto al cuestionamiento de lo que somos, antes de ponernos a cuestionar lo que otros son o creemos que deben ser”.

Viceversa fue estrenada en noviembre del año pasado, en Puerto Vallarta, durante la segunda edición del Festival Internacional de Cabaret Vallarta. Este Festival, organizado por Coral Arroyo y Alejandro Muraira va ganándose un lugar de importancia en el país por volverse un espacio de expresión cultural irreverente en el que el buen humor permite la crítica profunda.

Viceversa es un espectáculo que invita a pensarnos en nuestros roles, buscando que nos identifiquemos de la misma manera en que un espejo muestra nuestra imagen invertida. “Reírnos de lo que nos duele o nos turba es una forma muy saludable, y a mí entender la más efectiva, para analizar ciertas cosas que partiendo de la seriedad serían demasiado fuertes”, concluye Tania Campos.

Mariners 2019 Season- Post 11

After Monday’s ridiculous 6th inning led to a 13-5 win to begin the 4 game series in Kansas City, Tuesday was a quieter 6-3 win, ensuring at worst, a series split.

Wednesday night, the M’s and Royals traded runs for 3 innings and it was 3-3.

Mallex Smith’s 2 RBI single in the 4th makes it 5-3.  In the 7th inning, Matt Festa comes in to relieve Yusei Kikuchi , who had another solid performance in a no-decision because Festa lets the Royals tie the game at 5.  Neither team can break the stalemate in the 8th.  In the 9th, a MITCH HANIGER HOME RUN GIVES THE MARINERS THE  6-5 LEAD!!  Roenis Elias comes in to pitch for the Mariners in the 9th to get the save.  After getting 2 outs, he gives up a double and 2 walks.  The Royals have the bases loaded.  Adalberto Mondesi pops up high to Tim Beckham, BECKHAM MAKES THE CATCH* AND THE M’S WIN 65!!!!  (* It was a semi-routine play, but after Beckham’s 3 errors in 1 inning in a game last week, it was still tense, as the runners were going on 2 outs and 2 have already scored if he drops it.)

Phew.  After Wednesday, I’d be okay with a quiet win, may I never complain about them again.

Thursday, an afternoon in KC/ morning in Seattle game.  With the national baseball media sleeping on the Mariners, the M’s decide to start the game by following suit and find themselves down 4-0 after 5 innings.  The Mariners have already secured the series win, and we can’t win them all, so it’s okay guys.  Except, it’s not okay with Dee Gordon.  Dee leads off the 6th inning with a home run.  Mallex Smith triples on the next play and a Mitch Haniger sac fly brings Mallex home.  Okay, M’s score 2, but are still down 4-2.  

Dee strikes again in the 7th when his triple scores Ryon Healy!!  Wait, that makes it a 4-3 game.  Maybe, just maybe.  And Mallex Smith strikes out to strand Dee on 3rd.

The Royals score 2 later that inning to make the score 6-3, but Mariners’ reliever Erik Swanson impresses with 3 strikeouts (plus 1 more in the 8th) despite giving the Royals back the lead.  

Mariners pick up 1 run in the 8th, to close the gap to 6-4, and have a chance for more but Tim Beckham grounds into a double play to end the threat.

Top of the 9th.  M’s down by 2.  1 out singles by Omar Narvaez and Dee Gordon.  MITCH HANIGER TRIPLES SCORING THEM BOTH AND TYING THE GAME 6-6.

M’s reliever Brandon Brennan strikes out 3 to get the game to extra innings.  

But we won’t be here long.

A VOGELBOMB GOES OFF IN THE 10TH TO GIVE THE MARINERS A 7-6 LEAD, THEIR FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME!!!!

Connor Sadzeck takes care of an easy Royals half of the 10th and MARINERS WIN THE GAME!!!

IMPROVING TO A RIDICULOUS 13-2!!!

They head back to Seattle today for what could be a 3 game dose of reality against the Houston Astros who have won 6 straight games and are 2nd in the AL West.  But, the Mariners have the momentum and excitement, and yeah, the talent, to take the series.  It’ll be a major test in this early season, with the battle of the Wades tonight (LeBlanc for the M’s  vs Miley for the ‘Stros), a Felix game on Saturday, and then Marco on the mound Sunday.

GO MARINERS!!!!

MLB roundup: Dodgers tie Cards for second NL wild card

Rookie right-hander Walker Buehler dominated for eight innings, and Yasiel Puig hit a pair of home runs as the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers moved into a tie for the second wild-card spot in the National League on Friday with a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Buehler retired the first 13 Cardinals batters Friday before Paul DeJong singled with one out in the fifth inning. Buehler (7-5), who tied a career high with nine strikeouts, gave up just two hits over eight innings. Closer Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth inning for his 35th save.

The Dodgers have won the first two games of the current four-game series at St. Louis after they were swept by the Cardinals in a three-game series at Los Angeles last month.

At 81-67, the Dodgers and Cardinals are tied for the NL’s second wild-card spot, behind Milwaukee. The Dodgers also moved a half-game behind Colorado for the National League West lead.

Giants 2, Rockies 0

Chris Stratton pitched a two-hit shutout, and Austin Slater provided all the offense with a two-run single in the second inning, allowing host San Francisco to snap an 11-game losing streak by quieting Colorado.

Stratton (10-9), who had been bombed for 13 runs and 19 hits in consecutive matchups with the Rockies earlier this season, allowed just a two-out single to Ian Desmond in the second inning and a leadoff single to Charlie Blackmon in the sixth en route to his first career complete game and first career shutout.

Stratton needed 114 pitches to complete his gem. He walked two and struck out seven.

Diamondbacks 4, Astros 2

Jon Jay delivered a pinch-hit, broken-bat, RBI triple with two outs in the eighth inning to key Arizona’s victory at Houston.

Jay, hitting for catcher Jeff Mathis, muscled a 1-0 fastball into right field, snapping his bat and plating Nick Ahmed with the go-ahead run. A.J. Pollock lofted a shallow fly ball to center that cleared second baseman Jose Altuve yet dropped in front of the diving George Springer, driving in Jay and doubling the lead.

The Astros finished 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and lost for only the second time this month. Their lead over Oakland in the American League West was trimmed to 2 1/2 games.

Athletics 2, Rays 1 (10 innings)

Khris Davis hit the third pitch of the 10th inning for his 42nd home run of the season as Oakland dealt host Tampa Bay’s playoff hopes a serious jolt.

Oakland’s seventh win in its last eight games pushed the A’s a full nine games ahead of the Rays in the race for the second American League wild-card berth with just a little more than two weeks remaining in the regular season.

After the teams had battled to a 1-1 tie in nine innings, Davis greeted Jaime Schultz (2-1), the Rays’ ninth pitcher, with the difference-making homer. A’s closer Blake Treinen (7-2) pitched two perfect innings for the win.

Cubs 3, Reds 2

Ian Happ launched a three-run home run in the seventh inning to wipe out a 2-0 deficit and lead host Chicago past Cincinnati.

It was the 15th home run of the season for Happ. The seventh-inning blast came off Reds reliever David Hernandez (5-1), who gave up the three runs in one-third of an inning after right-hander Matt Harvey shut out the Cubs for six innings.

Brewers 7, Pirates 4

Christian Yelich, Travis Shaw and Mike Moustakas each hit home runs as Milwaukee bounced visiting Pittsburgh.

Orlando Arcia added a rare two-RBI bunt double for the Brewers, who won their sixth in seven games to move four games up on St. Louis, the second National League wild-card team.

Pablo Reyes hit his first major league homer, Jordan Luplow had an RBI triple and Josh Harrison an RBI double for the Pirates.

Yankees 11, Blue Jays 0

Aaron Judge returned from the disabled list as a defensive replacement, and Masahiro Tanaka pitched six outstanding innings as New York scored five times in the first and cruised to victory over Toronto at Yankee Stadium.

Judge returned from the disabled list after missing 45 games since July 26 due to a fractured right wrist. He is not ready to take at-bats but was able to play the field for the last two innings.

Tanaka (12-5) won his third straight start and ran his scoreless innings streak to 20. He allowed four hits, struck out eight and issued two walks while throwing 90 pitches.

Mets 8, Red Sox 0

Noah Syndergaard tossed seven scoreless innings, and Jay Bruce collected four RBIs for the second time in three games as visiting New York blanked Boston.

The surging Mets have won 10 of 13 this month. The Red Sox, who have 101 wins this season, fell for just the fourth time in 12 September games.

Syndergaard (12-3) allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out six. The Mets hit four homers in the rout, including a three-run blast by Bruce in the third inning.

The Braves retained a 7 1/2-game lead over Philadelphia in the National League East and stretched their lead over Washington to 9 1/2 games.

Phillies 14, Marlins 2

Aaron Altherr went 4-for-5 with two home runs and matched his career best of five RBIs to lead host Philadelphia to a rout of Miami.

Altherr also scored three runs while recording the fourth multi-homer outing of his career. Carlos Santana had three hits and three runs scored, Roman Quinn homered and drove in three runs while Rhys Hoskins and Mitch Walding also went deep for the Phillies.

Tigers 5, Indians 4

Jeimer Candelario hit a solo home run and a go-ahead double as Detroit snapped a four-game losing streak with a win at Cleveland.

JaCoby Jones supplied two hits, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base for Detroit, which also snapped a 10-game losing streak at Cleveland’s Progressive Field. Victor Martinez added two hits and an RBI for the Tigers.

Josh Donaldson hit a solo homer for his first hit with the Indians after being traded from Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion also homered for Cleveland.

Royals 8, Twins 4

Salvador Perez hit a walk-off grand slam with one out in the bottom of the ninth as Kansas City rallied for a dramatic victory over visiting Minnesota.

Perez belted a 3-2 slider by Twins reliever Trevor Hildenberger (4-4) over the fence in left-center for his 26th homer of the season and sixth against Minnesota, which lost its seventh straight road game.

Adalberto Mondesi homered, stole a base and scored three runs, Jorge Bonifacio doubled and had three hits, and Whit Merrifield had two RBIs for the Royals. Jason Hammel (3-13), who pitched a scoreless ninth, picked up the win.

White Sox 8, Orioles 6

Omar Narvaez, Avisail Garcia and Ryan Cordell all homered as Chicago claimed victory at rainy Baltimore.

For the White Sox, James Shields (7-16) earned the win behind six innings of two-run baseball. The right-hander gave up four hits and struck out five.

Shields improved to 2-8 on the road with the win — his first victory in a road game since Opening Day. Nate Jones closed it out in the ninth and earned his fifth save.

Rangers 4, Padres 0

Jurickson Profar went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored, and four Texas pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout at San Diego.

Texas right-handed reliever Connor Sadzeck started the game as the “opener” and allowed a walk in a scoreless first. Scheduled left-handed starter Yohander Mendez (2-1) then worked five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks, to get credit for the win.

Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre had two doubles in four at-bats to move past George Brett into 15th place on the all-time hit list with 3,155 hits. He also became the all-time hits leader among players whose primary position was third base.

Mariners 5, Angels 0

Six Seattle pitchers combined to throw a six-hit shutout at Los Angeles.

The Mariners were forced to employ a “bullpen game” because scheduled starter James Paxton was home in Seattle recovering from a mild form of pneumonia, according to manager Scott Servais.

Roenis Elias, making just his third start in 19 appearances, gave up one hit and two walks in 3 2/3 innings and was followed by Adam Warren (3-2), who went 1 1/3 innings and was credited with the win. Shawn Armstrong, Nick Vincent, Zach Duke and Ryan Cook each pitched one scoreless inning to finish it off.

Major League Baseball roundup: Orioles earn 15-inning win over Braves

Baltimore’s Manny Machado broke a 14-game homerless streak with a two-run shot in the 15th inning to give the Orioles a 10-7 win over the host Atlanta Braves on Friday.

Craig Gentry was hit by a pitch to open the inning and was sacrificed to second. Machado connected on an 0-2 pitch from reliever Peter Moylan (0-1) and placed it in the visitors’ bullpen in left field for his 19th homer. It was Machado’s first long ball since June 2, ending his longest homerless streak of the season.

Atlanta forced extras by scoring four times in the bottom of the ninth against Baltimore closer Zach Britton. He loaded the bases and allowed an RBI single to Ozzie Albies, a two-run single to Freddie Freeman and an RBI double to Nick Markakis, whose liner got over the head of right fielder Jace Peterson. Freeman tried to score but was thrown out at the plate.

Baltimore had taken a four-run lead by scoring six times in the top of the ninth against Atlanta relievers Dan Winkler and Sam Freeman. The Orioles got an RBI single from Danny Valencia, an RBI double from Jonathan Schoop and a Chris Davis sacrifice fly. Caleb Joseph added a run-scoring double, Steve Wilkerson knocked in a run with a single, and Craig Gentry drove in a run with a base hit to complete the rally.

Aguilar blasted his 16th homer off Bud Norris (3-2), lining an 0-2 fastball on the outer half of the plate over the wall in right-center. The long ball gave Milwaukee its third straight win.

Aguilar’s homer in the bottom of the seventh not only evened the score, but it also ended rookie Jack Flaherty’s bid at history. Aguilar golfed a low slider into the Milwaukee bullpen in left with one out for the Brewers’ first hit. Flaherty struck out 13, matching a career high, in seven innings while walking two. He gave up just the one run and one hit.

Royals 1, Astros 0

Rosell Herrera followed a marvelous defensive play in the bottom of the eighth inning with a run-scoring triple in the top of the ninth as visiting Kansas City snapped a nine-game losing skid in blanking Houston.

Herrera scored Adalberto Mondesi with his drive to center field off Ken Giles (0-2), who surrendered a leadoff single to Mondesi to open the ninth.

Herrera began the eighth by snatching a home run from Houston’s Alex Bregman, timing his jump in right field to make the catch at the wall. Bregman went 0-for-4 as his streak of reaching base safely was snapped at 31 games.

Rangers 8, Twins 1

Shin-Soo Choo extended his on-base streak to 35 games with two hits, including a two-run homer, and Mike Minor gave up just one run over six innings as Texas cruised to its sixth straight win by beating Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Minor (5-4) faced the minimum 15 batters over the first five innings, allowing just a first inning two-out single to Brian Dozier, who was easily gunned down by left fielder Joey Gallo trying to stretch it into a double.

Rockies 11, Marlins 3

Nolan Arenado homered for the fourth consecutive game, Jon Gray struck out 12 in seven innings, and Colorado routed Miami in Denver.

Rays 2, Yankees 1

Six Tampa Bay pitchers combined on a five-hitter during a victory over New York in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Major League Baseball roundup: Orioles earn 15-inning win over Braves

Baltimore’s Manny Machado broke a 14-game homerless streak with a two-run shot in the 15th inning to give the Orioles a 10-7 win over the host Atlanta Braves on Friday.

Craig Gentry was hit by a pitch to open the inning and was sacrificed to second. Machado connected on an 0-2 pitch from reliever Peter Moylan (0-1) and placed it in the visitors’ bullpen in left field for his 19th homer. It was Machado’s first long ball since June 2, ending his longest homerless streak of the season.

Atlanta forced extras by scoring four times in the bottom of the ninth against Baltimore closer Zach Britton. He loaded the bases and allowed an RBI single to Ozzie Albies, a two-run single to Freddie Freeman and an RBI double to Nick Markakis, whose liner got over the head of right fielder Jace Peterson. Freeman tried to score but was thrown out at the plate.

Baltimore had taken a four-run lead by scoring six times in the top of the ninth against Atlanta relievers Dan Winkler and Sam Freeman. The Orioles got an RBI single from Danny Valencia, an RBI double from Jonathan Schoop and a Chris Davis sacrifice fly. Caleb Joseph added a run-scoring double, Steve Wilkerson knocked in a run with a single, and Craig Gentry drove in a run with a base hit to complete the rally.

Red Sox 14, Mariners 10

J.D. Martinez went 4-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs, including a tiebreaking two-run single with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, as Boston rallied to defeat visiting Seattle.

The Mariners blew a five-run lead for the second time in three games to lose their season-high fifth straight. They also wasted a big night from designated hitter Nelson Cruz, who went 4-for-5 with two homers and seven RBIs.

Cruz, who now has 20 home runs this season, hit three-run blasts in the first and fourth innings. Ryon Healy added a solo shot, his 14th, for Seattle.

Brewers 2, Cardinals 1

Jesus Aguilar’s second homer of the game with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted host Milwaukee past St. Louis.

Aguilar blasted his 16th homer off Bud Norris (3-2), lining an 0-2 fastball on the outer half of the plate over the wall in right-center. The long ball gave Milwaukee its third straight win.

Aguilar’s homer in the bottom of the seventh not only evened the score, but it also ended rookie Jack Flaherty’s bid at history. Aguilar golfed a low slider into the Milwaukee bullpen in left with one out for the Brewers’ first hit. Flaherty struck out 13, matching a career high, in seven innings while walking two. He gave up just the one run and one hit.

Royals 1, Astros 0

Rosell Herrera followed a marvelous defensive play in the bottom of the eighth inning with a run-scoring triple in the top of the ninth as visiting Kansas City snapped a nine-game losing skid in blanking Houston.

Herrera scored Adalberto Mondesi with his drive to center field off Ken Giles (0-2), who surrendered a leadoff single to Mondesi to open the ninth.

Herrera began the eighth by snatching a home run from Houston’s Alex Bregman, timing his jump in right field to make the catch at the wall. Bregman went 0-for-4 as his streak of reaching base safely was snapped at 31 games.

Rangers 8, Twins 1

Shin-Soo Choo extended his on-base streak to 35 games with two hits, including a two-run homer, and Mike Minor gave up just one run over six innings as Texas cruised to its sixth straight win by beating Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Choo finished with three RBIs. Nomar Mazara and Adrian Beltre each had two hits and drove in two runs, and Robinson Chirinos also had two hits for the Rangers, who had lost seven in a row before starting their win streak. Mazara has 11 hits and seven RBIs over his past five games.

Minor (5-4) faced the minimum 15 batters over the first five innings, allowing just a first inning two-out single to Brian Dozier, who was easily gunned down by left fielder Joey Gallo trying to stretch it into a double. The Texas left-hander allowed three hits and walked two to go along with three strikeouts while picking up his first win in four starts.
