THE HIGHLIGHT REEL: Yanks have homers, Severino ... Tigers continue late surge

Luis Severino pitched two scoreless innings in his first appearance in nearly two years after sluggers Giancarlo Stanton, Joey Gallo and Aaron Judge homered as the New York Yankees beat the visiting Texas Rangers 7-1.

Severino received a loud ovation from the crowd when he entered the game with the Yankees holding a 7-1 lead in the eighth inning.

After missing last season and most of this season recovering from Tommy John surgery, the former 19-game winner made his first appearance since Game 3 of the 2019 American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.

Severino allowed a twoout double to Leodys Taveras and struck out two in the eighth. He allowed a one-out single to Adolis Garcia in the ninth before quickly finishing up.

New York left-hander Jordan Montgomery (6-6) allowed one run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

TIGERS 5, WHITE SOX 3

Victor Reyes had four hits and drove in two runs to lift host Detroit over the Chicago White Sox.

Daz Cameron had three hits and scored twice and Akil Baddoo drove in two runs for the Tigers (74-78). Winning pitcher Bryan Garcia (3-2) tossed 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief and Michael Fulmer got the last four outs for his 11th save of the season.

CLEVELAND 4, ROYALS 1

Yu Chang hit a three-run triple and Cal Quantrill tossed 6 2/3 solid innings to propel host Cleveland over Kansas City.

Ernie Clement belted a solo homer among his two hits to help Cleveland rebound from dropping a doubleheader to the Royals on Monday.

Hunter Dozier homered for the second time in as many days for the Royals.

NATIONALS 7, MARLINS 1

Josh Rogers allowed just one run in a career-high 7 2/3 innings, leading Washington over host Miami.

Rogers (2-0) yielded five hits and two walks while striking out four to help the Nationals earn just their second victory in six games.
