The right-hander lasted only three innings and allowed five runs on four hits, including the two homers. Soroka (2-2) was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett for his sixth start in Atlanta in his comeback from Achilles tendon injuries in 20. The Braves cut the deficit to 9-6 before Gorman’s second homer. The major league-leading Braves, coming off an 8-2 road trip that included three wins in four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, couldn’t keep pace with the Cardinals, who are last in the NL Central. Gorman added a 426-foot blast off Soroka in the third and a ninth-inning homer, his 26th, off Michael Tonkin. O’Neill’s homer to left field drove in Jordan Walker in the second inning.

He gave up eight hits but walked none, throwing 104 pitches on a steamy, 87-degree night.ĪTLANTA (AP) - Tyler O’Neill and Nolan Gorman hit two-run homers to spoil Michael Soroka’s promotion to Atlanta and St. The drive made a winner of Cole (13-4), who struck out seven in six innings of one-run ball and took over the American League lead in ERA at 2.90. The 2017 NL MVP with Miami, Stanton became the 58th big league player to reach 400 home runs and 10th to do it with the Yankees.

400 milestone and Stanton - often the target of boos at Yankee Stadium since arriving in 2018 - came out of the dugout for a curtain call, doffing his helmet to the crowd of 31,553. Stanton’s 451-foot laser to left-center was caught by a fan with a glove in the front row of the elevated bleachers above Detroit’s bullpen. The slugger reached 400 homers in 1,520 career games - fourth-fastest in major league history behind Mark McGwire (1,412), Babe Ruth (1,475) and Alex Rodriguez (1,489). Stanton’s two-run homer off reliever José Cisnero broke a 1-all tie in the sixth inning.
