NEW YORK — In a game marred by an injury to Angels star Mike Trout, Giancarlo Stanton and JT Riddle homered to lead the Miami Marlins to a 9-2 win over Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park.
Trout, a two-time American League MVP who leads the majors with 16 homers, sprained his left thumb in the fifth inning while stealing second base. He left the game in the middle of the sixth, and the Angels said X-rays showed no fracture on his thumb.
Stanton's homer was his 13th of the season — two short of the National League lead — and his second in this series. The homer by Riddle was a two-run shot that snapped a 2-2 tie. Riddle also doubled and had three RBIs.
Rays 8, Twins 6 (15 innings)
Evan Longoria and Logan Morrison hit back-to-back homers to open the 15th inning, and Tampa Bay outlasted Minnesota in the longest game in Target Field history.
Longoria's seventh homer of the season came off the second pitch of the inning from Hector Santiago (4-4), who is scheduled to be the Wednesday starter for Minnesota. Morrison followed with a long homer to deep right field on the next pitch as Tampa Bay won for the second time in five extra-inning games this season.

White Sox 7, Tigers 3
Miguel Gonzalez took a perfect game into the seventh inning before he allowed three hits and a run as Chicago beat Detroit. The perfect game ended when leadoff hitter Andrew Romine reached on a hard grounder to shortstop Tim Anderson that was initially ruled an error. The call was later changed to a hit.
