Mariners All-Star first baseman Ty France left the game in the third inning after sustaining a right calf bruise on a collision with Jose Ramirez in the first.

Orioles 4, White Sox 3 (11 innings)

Kyle Stowers belted a game-tying solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning and Anthony Santander had an RBI single in the 11th to fuel host Baltimore to a victory over Chicago.

The White Sox appeared poised to pick up the win. However, left fielder Adam Engel -- who entered the game as a defensive replacement - dropped a fly ball in foul territory off the bat of Stowers in the ninth. Given new life, Stowers belted an 0-2 curveball from Liam Hendriks for his first career homer.

Baltimore quickly put runners on the corners in the 11th inning before Santander sent a deep fly ball to center field off Jake Diekman (5-3) that allowed Cedric Mullins to score the winning run.

Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 5 (10 innings)

A fielder's-choice grounder by George Springer in the 10th inning brought home the winning run as visiting Toronto beat Boston to sweep a three-game series.

Toronto left two runners aboard in both the eighth and ninth before scratching out a run in the 10th. Cavan Biggio, who began the 10th at second base, took third on a groundout, then came home on Springer's grounder to shortstop Xander Bogaerts, evading the tag of catcher Kevin Plawecki.
