Hyun Soo Kim hit a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth inning off Roberto Osuna, and the Baltimore Orioles beat host Toronto, 3-2, Wednesday night. The Orioles helped the Red Sox clinch the AL East title and moved within one game of the AL wild card-leading Blue Jays.

With Toronto ahead, 2-1, Jonathan Schoop singled with one out, pinch-runner Michael Bourn stole second and Kim homered on a 3-2 pitch into the visiting bullpen in right, causing the Orioles relievers to jump in celebration.

Osuna (3-3) has five blown save chances, including two in his last three appearances.

Mark Trumbo hit his major league-leading 46th home run, a solo drive off Jason Grilli in the eighth. Sacrifice flies by Edwin Encarnacion in the first and Kevin Pillar in the second had built a 2-0 lead.

Brian Duensing (1-0) got one out, and Zach Britton finished for his 47th save in as many tries.

Blue Jays lefthander Francisco Liriano struck out 10 over six shutout innings. Toronto starters have allowed one earned run or none in a team record seven straight games.

Liriano was perfect until Adam Jones singled to begin the fourth. Chris Davis followed with a single but Liriano struck out the next three batters.

Baltimore loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth but Davis took a called third strike.

Liriano left to a standing ovation after Schoop’s single put runners at first and second in the seventh.

Brett Cecil came on and struck out Nolan Reimold before Troy Tulowitzki went deep into the shortstop hole to retire Jones on a groundout.

Tillman allowed two runs — one earned — and six hits in 5⅔ innings. He has a 7.01 ERA in 13 career starts in Toronto.

Rangers 8, Brewers 5 — Carlos Gomez hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and AL-leading Texas beat Milwaukee for its major league-best 49th come-from-behind victory.

Texas (94-65) moved closer to home-field advantage with a 1½-game lead over Boston for the best record in the American League.

Jonathan Lucroy, the catcher traded from Milwaukee to Texas on Aug. 1, reached to start the eighth on a two-base error when the ball ricocheted off the glove of center fielder Hernan Perez. Delino DeShields came on as a pinch-runner, and after Mitch Moreland walked, he scored the tying run when Elvis Andrus greeted reliever Tyler Thornburg with a single to center.

Gomez then hit a 418-foot homer to left, his 13th this season. It was the eighth in 31 games for the Brewers’ former two-time All-Star since joining the Rangers last month after being released by Houston. He had a three-run homer on Tuesday night, that one traveling 444 feet.

Rougned Odor hit a two-run homer in the first for the Rangers, his 32nd.

Jeremy Jeffress (1-0) worked the final two innings, winning for AL West champion Texas five days after being reinstated by Major League Baseball from the restricted list following a drunken driving arrest last month and then a three-week stint in an inpatient rehab clinic.

Tigers 6, Indians 3 — Miguel Cabrera hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the fifth inning, moments before the game was halted for good as Detroit claimed a rain-shortened victory over Cleveland to keep pace with Baltimore in the AL wild-card race.

Detroit trails the Orioles by one game for the AL’s second wild card, and the Tigers certainly caught a break in this one.

Mariners 12, Astros 4 — Robinson Cano hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and Seattle beat host Houston to keep pressure on the other AL wild-card contenders.

Kyle Seager added another three-run drive in the eighth, his 30th home run this season, as the Mariners pulled within two games of Baltimore for the second AL wild card.

Houston dropped three games back as its magic number for elimination was cut to two.

Cano’s career-best 36th home run, a drive off Doug Fister (12-13), landed in the first row of the Crawford Boxes in left field. Cano has nine homers and 25 RBIs in 19 games against Houston this season.

Seattle doubled its lead in the second on Nori Aoki’s RBI single and Seth Smith’s two-run single. Ketel Marte made it 7-0 with a run-scoring infield single in the third.

James Paxton (6-7) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings, striking out eight.

Fister gave up five runs and five hits over 1⅓ innings in the shortest start of his big league career. Fister has lost five straight decisions, and Houston has lost his last seven starts — all five innings or fewer.

George Springer hit a solo home run in the third for the Astros, who closed to 7-4 in the sixth on Evan Gattis’s solo homer.

Mets 5, Marlins 2 — Jay Bruce hit his 32d home run, James Loney also homered and New York helped its NL wild-card chances with a victory over an emotionally-drained Miami team that was eliminated from postseason contention with a home finale loss.

New York began the night leading the Giants by half a game and the Cardinals by 1½ games in the race for the two wild-card spots.

The Mets conclude the regular season with three games at Philadelphia starting Friday.

That was the last thing on their minds five hours before first pitch. They wore T-shirts reading ‘‘RIP’’ while clustering around the limousine carrying Fernandez’s casket to church for a viewing. Spectators, including Mets players and manager Terry Collins, lined the start of the route.

“It was terrible,’’ Miami pitcher Tom Koehler said. ‘‘I never thought I’d have to be part of that. You have a 24-year-old who is on top of the world, and we’re walking behind his hearse. We’re watching Miami’s hero drive down the street.’’

Added reliever Mike Dunn: ‘‘You felt like you were pushing off your brother.’’

Sympathetic as they are, the Mets are also in a tight wild-card race. Loney hit a two-run homer in the second, and Bruce added a two-run homer in the fifth. Curtis Granderson went 4 for 4, and Jose Reyes doubled home a run.

Seth Lugo (5-2) went 5 1/3 innings and allowed two runs, both on Martin Prado’s eighth homer. Four relievers completed a seven-hitter, and Jeurys Familia pitched a perfect ninth for his 50th save, most in the majors.

Jose Urena (4-9) allowed five runs in five innings, hiking his ERA to 6.13.

Royals 5, Twins 2 — The defending World Series champions failed to make the postseason for the fourth year in a row.

Kendrys Morales and Alex Gordon keyed an eighth-inning rally and host Kansas City beat Minnesota, but the Royals were still knocked out of playoff contention.

Pirates 8, Cubs 4 — John Jaso hit for the cycle and drove in five runs to lead host Pittsburgh over Chicago. Jaso tripled off Cubs reliever Pedro Strop in the seventh inning to clinch the first cycle in the history of PNC Park and the first for the Pirates since 2004.

Braves 12, Phillies 2 — Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer, Daniel Castro had three RBIs and Dansby Swanson also drove in two runs, leading surging Atlanta to a convincing rout.
