Reds: Nick Martinez pitched six sparkling innings, and the Reds beat the Cardinals 3-1 on Monday night in Cincinnati for their fifth straight win. Martinez (1-3) allowed one run and five hits in the opener of a seven-game homestand. Graham Ashcraft and Tony Santillan each got three outs before Emilio Pagán finished the five-hitter for his eighth save. Jose Trevino homered for the Reds, and Noelvi Marte drove in the go-ahead run with his first career triple. Reds star Elly De La Cruz doubled in the first to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games, and Gavin Lux collected three hits, including two doubles, to run his hitting streak to a career-best 12. Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante (2-2) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. Lars Nootbaar doubled and scored on Nolan Arenado’s two-out double in the first against Martinez. But the Reds tied it when Trevino hit a leadoff drive in the third for his second homer. Lux singled and scored on Marte’s triple in the fourth, and Lux doubled home Austin Hays in the sixth. The Reds’ Matt McLain singled in the seventh to end a career-worst 0-for-21 slump.

Mets: Brandon Nimmo hit a grand slam and matched a franchise record with nine RBIs, helping the Mets rout host Nationals 19-5. Nimmo also hit a three-run drive in his seventh career multihomer game. The 32-year-old outfielder had four hits and scored four times after beginning the day with a .192 batting average. The Mets have won nine of 11 games overall to improve to a major league-best 20-9. The Mets had a 3-0 lead when Colin Poche replaced Nationals starter Trevor Williams (1-3) with two on in the sixth. Nimmo greeted the left-hander by ripping a 2-0 fastball deep to right-center. An inning later, the Mets had the bases loaded when Nimmo sent Cole Henry’s fastball into the right-field seats for his second career grand slam. Nimmo added a two-run double in the eighth to tie the franchise record for RBIs set by Carlos Delgado against the Yankees on June 27, 2008. Griffin Canning (4-1) pitched five innings of four-hit ball for the Mets.

Orioles: Ryan O’Hearn hit a three-run HR off Will Warren and the Orioles held on for a 4-3 victory over the visiting Yankees. Ramón Laureano doubled in the Orioles’ other run, and 35-year-old Japanese rookie Tomoyuki Sugano (3-1) struck out a career-high eight over five scoreless innings to help the Orioles stop a three-game losing streak. Aaron Judge, hitting a major league-leading .405, had two hits to extend his on-base streak to 25 games and drove in the Yankees’ first run when he hit into a forceout against Yennier Cano in the seventh.

Dodgers: RHP Tyler Glasnow was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation in the latest setback for the defending World Series champions’ perpetually injury-plagued pitching staff. Glasnow went on the IL one day after leaving his second straight start early due to shoulder discomfort Sunday. He allowed two HRs in the first inning against the Pirates, but returned to warm up for the second before exiting. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Glasnow developed “overall body soreness” in addition to his shoulder woes.
