NEW YORK — Pete Alonso homered again and the New York Mets beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Thursday to post consecutive wins for the first time in a month.

The game was tied at 2 before Tommy Pham legged out a bouncer to third with one out in the sixth inning, driving in Jeff McNeil with the infield hit against Zack Littell (0-1).

Tylor Megill (5-2) worked six innings of two-run ball for the win. David Robertson allowed Randy Arozarena’s one-out double in the ninth before finishing his eighth save.

The Mets won consecutive games for the first time since April 20-21 in San Francisco. They won a series for the first time since taking two of three at the Los Angeles Dodgers from April 17-19.

Josh Lowe homered for Tampa Bay, which has dropped four of six. Lowe and Arozarena each had two hits, and Harold Ramírez drove in a run with a fielder’s choice in the first.

The Rays blew a 5-2 lead in Wednesday night’s 8-7 loss at New York. Francisco Álvarez connected for a tying three-run homer for the ninth for the Mets, and Alonso hit a three-run shot in the 10th.

Alonso put New York in front again in the series finale, driving a 1-2 fastball from rookie Taj Bradley 446 feet to center field. It was Alonso’s 16th homer.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

GUARDIANS 3, WHITE SOX 1: Cam Gallagher hit an RBI single during Cleveland’s two-run seventh inning, and the visiting Guardians beat Chicago.

Gabriel Arias homered and doubled as Cleveland salvaged the finale of the three-game series. Nick Sandlin (2-1) got four outs for the win, and Emmanuel Clase worked the ninth for his 15th save.

The Guardians went ahead to stay in the seventh. With one out and runners on second and third, Brayan Rocchio hit a grounder shortstop Tim Anderson flubbed for an error. Rocchio was credited with his first major league RBI when Will Brennan scampered home to make it 2-1.

Gallagher then drove in Arias with a single to left against Gregory Santos. Cleveland’s catchers were 0 for 44 with 26 strikeouts in May before Gallagher’s hit. It was just the the third hit of the year for Gallagher, Cleveland’s backup behind the plate. He ended an 0 for 34 drought dating to April 9.

ANGELS 6, ORIOLES 5: Shohei Ohtani homered in the first inning and hit a tiebreaking infield single in the eighth, and Hunter Renfroe’s terrific defensive play in the ninth helped Los Angeles Angels hold on for a victory in Baltimore.

Mike Trout also went deep for the Angels, and Anthony Santander and Adley Rutschman homered for Baltimore. Rutschman’s two-run shot in the seventh gave Baltimore a 5-4 lead, but it was short lived.

Bryan Baker (3-1) allowed a single and a walk with one out in the eighth, and then Austin Voth came on and yielded an RBI single to pinch-hitter Gio Urshela. After a strikeout, Voth hit Trout with a pitch to load the bases. Left-hander Danny Coulombe came in to face Ohtani, who ripped a grounder to the right side. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle made a diving stop, but Ohtani easily beat Coulombe to the bag and the go-ahead run came home.

YANKEES 4, BLUE JAYS 2: Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first inning and New York prevailed in Toronto to win for the 11th time in 16 games.

Nestor Cortes (4-2) allowed two runs and five hits in six-plus innings to snap a four-start winless streak. He struck out six and walked one. Anthony Volpe also homered for the Yankees, who took three of four from Toronto. The rookie shortstop made it 4-2 with a solo shot off Nate Pearson in the ninth, his seventh of the season.

The Yankees have hit 33 home runs in 17 games this month.
