Indians 11, Tigers 0 – McKenzie loses perfect game in 8th, Indians beat Tigers 11-0

Indians starter Triston McKenzie retired the first 23 Detroit batters in order before Harold Castro lined a single to right with two out in the eighth inning and Cleveland beat the Tigers 11-0. The 24-year-old stunned the Comerica Park crowd of 25,684 hoping to see Miguel Cabrera’s 500th homer. Instead, they gave McKenzie a standing ovation after Castro’s hit and another after he finished the inning with his 11th strikeout. McKenzie came within four outs of breaking baseball’s longest no-hit drought.

Yankees 5, White Sox 3 – Odor, Cortes help Yankees beat White Sox 5-3

Rougned Odor hit a two-run homer, Nestor Cortes pitched six solid innings and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3. Luke Voit also hit a two-run homer in the ninth for New York, which went 5-1 in the season series against Chicago. Cortes allowed one run and seven hits in his first win since Aug. 6, 2019, versus Baltimore. New York lost the series opener Thursday night on Tim Anderson’s two-run homer in the ninth in the Field of Dreams game in Iowa. Following a day off, the Yankees responded with two straight wins.

Marlins 4, Cubs 1 – Chisholm homers as Marlins beat reeling Cubs 4-1

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Aguilar homered, and the Miami Marlins handed the Chicago Cubs their 11th straight loss with a 4-1 victory. The game was tied at 1 before Chisholm connected against Alec Mills in the sixth inning. Chisholm also singled and scored on Aguilar’s 22nd homer in the seventh. Miami right-hander Elieser Hernandez permitted one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. Chicago matched its longest slide of the season. They’ve also dropped 11 straight from June 25 to July 6.

AJ Allmendinger took advantage of two frightening multi-car crashes, the leader getting spun out and a penalty — all in the last five laps — to win the Brickyard 200. He beat Ryan Blaney by 0.929 seconds in the first Cup race held on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's road course. But the victory was overshadowed by two big pileups in the final five laps that appeared to be caused by the curbing on the track. Sixteen cars were involved but NASCAR officials did not report any serious injuries.
