MLB roundup: Giants beat Dodgers after mourning Orlando Cepeda

Brett Wisely hit a two-run, walk-off home run in the ninth inning, securing a 5-3 victory for the San Francisco Giants against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The game took place on Friday night, marking the beginning of a three-game series. The Giants paid tribute to the late Orlando Cepeda, a franchise legend who passed away at the age of 86.

A moment of silence was observed in Cepeda's memory before the sixth inning. Despite the Dodgers tying the game in the ninth, Wisely's home run sealed the win.

Matos and Chapman also contributed with home runs for the Giants, while Webb delivered a strong performance on the mound. San Francisco now holds a 4-1 record on their homestand.

The Dodgers saw their four-game winning streak come to an end, with Pages standing out with a single and a triple.

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Miami Marlins 2-0 as Cristopher Sanchez pitched his first career shutout. Sanchez, with a record of 6-3, struck out nine batters and allowed only three hits in a complete game.

Bryson Stott drove in both runs for the Phillies. Miami's Kyle Tyler (0-1) gave up one run in 4 2/3 innings.

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Washington Nationals with a score of 3-1 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Yandy Diaz set a new franchise record for the longest hitting streak, while Jose Siri hit two home runs during the game.

Diaz's single in the third inning extended his hitting streak to 20 games, surpassing Jason Bartlett's record from 2009. Jacob Young contributed to the Nationals' loss by going 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run, and a stolen base.

The Yankees dominated the Blue Jays with a final score of 16-5. Juan Soto's three-run home run and Gleyber Torres' two-run shot contributed to New York's victory over Toronto.

Torres also had a sacrifice fly, while Aaron Judge recorded three hits and two RBIs. The Yankees scored a season-high in runs, breaking a four-game losing streak. On the other side, Isiah Kiner-Falefa extended his hit streak to 12 games with a single and a homer, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a solo home run.

New York's Michael Tonkin (3-3) allowed one run in 1 2/3 innings, while Toronto's Yusei Kikuchi (4-8) gave up four runs in five-plus innings.
