MLB roundup: Cardinals flex power late, knock off Braves

Tyler O'Neill hit the tiebreaking three-run homer to lift the St. Louis Cardinals past the visiting Atlanta Braves 6-3 Sunday.

Betts ended the day 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs. With the series finale to come on Monday, he is hitting 8-for-15 with four homers, two doubles and seven RBIs in the first three games. He has 31 homers this season, one short of his 2018 career high. Vargas' solo homer, combined with six surprisingly strong innings from Patrick Corbin, prevented the Nationals from being swept by the Reds, who had an early 2-0 lead. Corbin allowed two runs - one earned - on four hits with five strikeouts and a walk. The Nationals had been outscored 13-5 in the first two games of the series.

Pitching in the majors for the first time in three weeks, Martinez limited the Yankees to three hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings. The rookie walked two and struck out a season-high six. Luis Rengifo also hit a two-run home run for the Angels, while Kurt Suzuki and Mike Trout added solo shots. George Springer hit a solo home run for Toronto. Blue Jays right-hander Ross Stripling allowed three runs and seven hits while striking out six in six innings.

Ian Kennedy notched his ninth save in 13 opportunities to help Arizona to its first series sweep since July 25-27 against San Francisco. Elvis Andrus hit a one-out double in the ninth, but the White Sox couldn't capitalize, as Kennedy fanned Leury Garcia and Romy Gonzalez with two runners on to end the game.

The Astros won despite losing right-hander Justin Verlander after three innings because of right calf discomfort.
