  Jacob deGrom gave up four hits in eight innings as the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 on Thursday to stop a seven-game losing streak, their longest since April 2011.

  Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead double off Michael Blazek (4-2) in the sixth for the Mets (37-37), who avoided falling two games below .500 for the first time this year. New York completed a 1-7 trip, during which they were outscored 31-11 and hit .177.

  DeGrom (8-5) struck out seven and walked none in the eighth straight start in which he has given up two earned runs or fewer. Jeurys Familia pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances.

  New York won for just the fourth time in their past 22 road games. The Mets are 26-11 at Citi Field, but 11-26 away from home. Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected in the fourth after Darrell Ceciliani was caught stealing at second.

  ORIOLES 8, RED SOX 6

  In Boston, Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer during a six-run fourth inning that carried the Baltimore Orioles over the Boston Red Sox.

  J.J. Hardy added a two-run double against rookie left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (3-2), who lasted just 3-2/3 innings. Steve Pearce had three hits for Baltimore, who took two of three in the series and bounced back after Wednesday’s loss to beat Boston for the seventh time in eight games.

  Miguel Gonzalez (6-4), activated before the game following a stint on the disabled list with a strained right groin, allowed four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings.

  GIANTS 13, PADRES 8

  In San Francisco, the Giants hit four triples in a game for the first time in 55 years, including a pair by Brandon Belt in a win over the San Diego Padres.

  Brandon Crawford and Matt Duffy also tripled for San Francisco, who had not tripled four times in a game since Sept. 15, 1960, when Willie Mays hit three of them and Eddie Bressoud had one at Philadelphia’s Connie Mack Stadium.

  The Giants had not accomplished the feat at home since Hack Wilson and Ross Youngs had two triples each against the Boston Braves at New York’s Polo Grounds on June 28, 1924, according to STATS.

  Chris Heston (8-5), who pitched a no-hitter against the New York Mets on June 9, won for the third time in four starts. James Shields (7-2) allowed seven runs — his most since June last year — and nine hits in four-plus innings, his shortest outing this season.

  NATIONALS 7, BRAVES 0

  In Washington, Doug Fister allowed four hits over seven innings in another superb outing by a Washington starter as the Nationals defeated the Atlanta Braves for their sixth straight win.

  Washington’s rotation has thrown a franchise-record 41-1/3 consecutive scoreless innings over their past six games, the longest streak in the major leagues since Cleveland starters strung together 44-1/3 shutout innings in May 2008.

  Fister (3-3) made his second start since a stint on the disabled list caused by right forearm tightness. He struck out four and walked one, and Blake Treinen finished the Nationals’ eighth shutout with a two-hit ninth.

  Braves right fielder Nick Markakis’ streak of 398 games with an error, a record for non-pitchers, ended when he bobbled Denard Span’s first-inning single. Matt Wisler (1-1) allowed six runs — four earned — and nine hits in four innings.

  ASTROS 4, YANKEES 0

  In Houston, Texas, Dallas Keuchel pitched a six-hitter and struck out a career-high 12 in his second shutout in less than a month to lead the Houston Astros past the New York Yankees.

  Keuchel (9-3) walked one while topping his previous best of 11 strikeouts in a shutout over the White Sox on May 30.

  Jose Altuve had three hits and scored three times. Evan Gattis had an RBI single in the sixth and an RBI double in the eighth.

  Adam Warren (5-5) allowed three runs and five hits in 5-2/3 innings for the Yankees.

  WHITE SOX 8, TIGERS 7, 10 INNINGS

  In Detroit, Michigan, Carlos Sanchez hit a three-run triple off Joba Chamberlain in the 10th inning asthe Chicago White Sox held on to beat the Detroit Tigers.

  With the score 5-all, Chamberlain (0-2) walked Melky Cabrera with one out, hit Avisail Garcia with a pitch and then allowed pinch-hitter J.B. Shuck’s two-out infield single to shortstop. Sanchez tripled past first baseman Miguel Cabrera and all the way to the right-field wall on a 1-2 pitch, putting Chicago ahead 8-5.

  David Robertson gave up a two-run single to Bryan Holaday with one out in the bottom half, then retired Ian Kinsler on a flyout and, with runners on first and second, intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera to load the bases.

  Zach Duke (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win, and Adam Eaton homered for Chicago. Kinsler and J.D. Martinez hit two-run homers for Detroit.
