MLB round-up: Mike Yastrzemski homers as Giants overcome Red Sox
Yastrzemski's home run was his third of the season and came hours after he was visited in the clubhouse by his grandfather and Red Sox legend, Carl Yastrzemski. It was Mike Yastrzemski's second career home run in six games at Fenway Park after his grandfather hit 237 of his 452 home runs at Fenway.
The Giants broke a 1-1 tie by scoring twice in the seventh. Patrick Bailey singled, took third on Matt Chapman's single and scored on a single by Thairo Estrada. Nick Ahmed added a sacrifice fly that drove in Chapman to make it 3-1. Both runs were charged to Zack Kelly (0-1), while Ryan Walker (3-2) earned the win for the Giants with a scoreless sixth inning.
The victory ended Boston's four-game winning streak. The Red Sox won the first two games of the series 4-0 and 6-2.

Mets 7, Cubs 6 (11 innings)
Francisco Lindor came off the bench to spark a sixth-inning comeback with a two-run double, then delivered a game-ending two-run double in the 11th inning as New York edged Chicago to split a four-game series.
The Cubs' Nick Madrigal had a go-ahead RBI double in the top of the 11th, but Mets right fielder Starling Marte threw out Madrigal trying to score on a two-out hit by Mike Tauchman before the Mets came back against Daniel Palencia (0-1). Harrison Bader was hit by a pitch leading off the 11th inning before Lindor hit a 3-2 pitch the opposite way to the left-field corner. Automatic runner Brett Baty scored the tying run and Bader slid in with the winning run as shortstop Dansby Swanson bobbled the relay.
