Ryan Raburn and Yan Gomes each came through with clutch two-out, two-run hits in the eighth inning to rally the Indians to a 7-4 victory, their sixth straight, over the White Sox on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.

Yadier Molina left the nightcap of Tuesday’s doubleheader in the fourth inning with a sprained right knee. He caught Tyler Lyons for three innings and took two at-bats before being replaced by Rob Johnson.

Gavin Rupp, who threw a first pitch to Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper earlier this month, lost his battle with brain cancer on Tuesday, a team spokesman confirmed after the team’s 5-1 loss to the Tigers. He was 13 years old. Harper was not available for comment.

Right-hander Brandon Workman has pitched effectively in all three of his Major League starts, and he earned his first career win on Tuesday, leading the Red Sox past the Mariners, 8-2. Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered to back Workman, who allowed one run and whiffed nine in six innings.

The time until the non-waiver Trade Deadline can now be counted hours instead of days, and things are getting hectic. With Jake Peavy heading to the Red Sox in a three-team deal, Ian Kennedy could soon be changing addresses, and Bud Norris is very much in play.

While Alex Wood was constructing the finest performance of his young career on Tuesday night, Freddie Freeman extended his dominance against the Rockies with a pair of home runs that allowed the Braves to cruise to an 11-3 victory.

What began as a flirtation with history ended — as so many Mets-Marlins games do — in an extra-inning war of attrition. Ultimately, the Mets recovered from Zack Wheeler’s shattered no-hit bid to win a 4-2 game over the Marlins, thanks to John Buck’s tiebreaking two-run single in the 10th.

Michael Young isn’t sure what the future holds, but the hours leading to Wednesday’s 4 p.m. ET Trade Deadline should give him plenty to think about.

Wei-Yin Chen won his third straight game since coming off the disabled list, striking out eight in 7 1/3 innings, and Chris Davis hit his first home run in 16 days to give the Orioles a 4-3 win against the Astros on Tuesday.

Jake Peavy will be a nice fit in the Red Sox’s clubhouse. Normally, that might not be the first thing to consider, but it seems especially important because of how dramatically the environment around the Red Sox changed in one season.

Alex Avila hadn’t homered since July 3, and he hadn’t homered at home since April 30. Stephen Strasburg hadn’t allowed a home run with more than one runner on in his career. However, none of it mattered in the sixth inning, when Avila drilled his first career grand slam to the right-field seats to lead the Tigers to a 5-1 win on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.

Interleague Play didn’t slow the Rays down, as they cruised to a 5-2 win over the D-backs at Tropicana Field on Tuesday. Roberto Hernandez threw his first complete game since 2010 and struck out six, and the Rays improved to 21-4 in July.

In his short time in the Major Leagues, rookie shortstop Jonathan Villar certainly hasn’t been intimidated by anything that’s been thrown in his path. His straight steal of home on Tuesday is proof.

The Phillies defeated the Giants, 7-3, at Citizens Bank Park to snap an eight-game losing streak and nudge their record to 50-56.

The Dodgers signed free-agent reliever Brian Wilson Tuesday to a Major League contract for the rest of this season. The former Giants All-Star closer is expected to tune up in the Minors before joining the big league club in two to three weeks.

Astros starter Bud Norris got a call Tuesday morning from manager Bo Porter, informing him he wasn’t going to get the ball in the series opener against the Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with Lucas Harrell pitching instead. Norris wasn’t traded, but the Astros wanted to sit him out as a precaution.

The Twins moved one step closer to hosting next year’s All-Star Game, as they unveiled the official logo for the 2014 Midsummer Classic in a special ceremony on Tuesday at Target Field.
