Seiya Suzuki’s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday night lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 win over the visiting San Diego Padres.

Dansby Swanson started the winning rally with an infield single against Jason Adam (2-2).

Trent Thornton (3-2) worked around a one-out infield hit by Fernando Tatis Jr. in the ninth as Chicago prevailed for the seventh time in eight games. It was the third straight defeat for San Diego.

Neither starter was involved in the decision. San Diego’s Griffin Canning yielded two runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out three. Chicago’s Shota Imanaga scattered nine hits in his 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs with no walks and four strikeouts.

Tigers 7, Yankees 3

Casey Mize tossed seven outstanding innings in his longest start of the season and visiting Detroit scored seven runs in the first four innings during a victory over slumping New York.

Mize (3-5) allowed a double to rookie Spencer Jones that started the third and nothing else. The right-hander tied a career high with 10 strikeouts. It was Mize’s third career double-digit strikeout game, and he finished his outing by fanning five of the final six hitters.

The Yankees tied a season worst by losing their fifth straight game. Starter Ryan Weathers allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits in a season-low 1 2/3 innings as the Tigers scored five unearned runs due to errors by New York third baseman Jose Caballero and left fielder Cody Bellinger.

Cam Smith homered twice for the Astros, who went deep twice the ninth inning to climb within a run. Houston had won five of its previous six games, while Minnesota prevailed for the third time in four games.

Diamondbacks 5, Giants 4

Geraldo Perdomo broke a fifth-inning tie with a bases-clearing double, Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven innings of one-run ball and Arizona held on to defeat San Francisco in Phoenix.

Marte’s homer, his 16th, came on Giants starter Tyler Mahle’s second pitch of the game, a run San Francisco offset in the top of the fifth on a squeeze bunt by Jonah Cox.

Mahle (1-8) was charged with four runs on four hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings. Luis Arraez, Bryce Eldridge and Victor Bericoto had two hits apiece for the Giants.

Mariners 6, Angels 2

Cole Young hit two home runs and George Kirby pitched eight strong innings as Seattle defeated visiting Los Angeles.

Zach Neto doubled and homered for the Angels, who had a two-game winning streak ended and lost for just the third time in their past nine games. Angels rookie Ryan Johnson (1-3) gave up three runs — one earned — on four hits over five innings.

Brewers 5, Reds 3

Joey Ortiz hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning as Milwaukee came back from a three-run deficit to beat visiting Cincinnati.
