Chris Sale struck out 10 in six innings as the Boston Red Sox earned their seventh win in a row, a 5-3 decision against the host Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
Sale allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk. Richard Bleier, Chris Martin and Kenley Jansen each followed with a scoreless inning, and Jansen posted his seventh save.
In his seventh start of the season, Steele lowered his ERA to 1.45, while yielding just a sixth-inning run along with six hits, no walks and four strikeouts. The left-hander tied Jake Arrieta's franchise record with 14 consecutive starts of allowing two earned runs or fewer. Franco's go-ahead double for the Rays off came against Jimmy Cordero and scored Diaz from first. Initially, Diaz was called out at the plate, but the call was reversed after Tampa Bay challenged it. Jason Adam closed out the ninth inning for his third save, and the first-place Rays opened a 10-game lead over the cellar-dwelling Yankees in the American League East.
The White Sox won for the first time in Lance Lynn's seven starts this season. The 35-year-old Lynn gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings and struck out eight without issuing a walk. Yasmani Grandal had two hits for Chicago, which has won four of its last five after dropping its previous 10 games.
Battenfield retired the first 17 Twins hitters he faced before Christian Vazquez broke up the 25-year-old rookie's perfect game bid with two outs in the top of the sixth. Six pitches later, Max Kepler turned on an 87-mph cut fastball from Battenfield and crushed it 440 feet into the right-center field bleachers for a homer, spoiling Battenfield's shutout.
