Bailey’s win ends long drought

Denver Homer Bailey went six solid innings for his first win since Aug. 12, Billy Hamilton had a two-out, two-run single after missing a game with a bothersome back and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Colorado Rockies 8-1 on Tuesday night.
The injury-plagued Bailey (1-2) scattered eight hits in the longest of his three starts this season.
Kyle Freeland (8-7) struggled early before settling down.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona missed the game after he was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic for tests.
Kluber (7-3) allowed one run and struck out 10 in eight innings — setting a franchise mark with five consecutive double-digit strikeout games.
Tigers 5, Giants 3: Victor Martinez homered, Michael Fulmer pitched eight innings and Detroit snapped San Francisco’s six-game win streak, although Miguel Cabrera left after six innings due to left hip tightness.
Marlins 5, Cardinals 2: Christian Yelich hit a three-run homer and Jose Urena struck out seven in five solid innings for Miami.
Rays 6, Cubs 5: Tim Beckham homered, and the Rays won their reunion with Joe Maddon.
The Rays won their first meeting against Maddon since he left to manage Chicago following the 2014 season.
The right-hander is 3-1 in five starts since returning from surgery for testicular cancer.
