NEW YORK — Brett Gardner tied it with his second homer of the game, a one-out, two-run drive in the ninth inning, Gleyber Torres hit a winning single in the 10th and the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Houston Astros 6-5 Tuesday night.

The Yankees won despite making five errors – including two by Torres at second base – for the first time since 2014. They also came up with a startling defensive play in the 10th when Aroldis Chapman threw a 100 mph fastball to the backstop that took a fortuitous carom to catcher Gary Sanchez, who threw out Tony Kemp at third base.

Charlie Morton appeared set to win his 11th straight decision and become the American League’s first eight-game winner. Manager A.J. Hinch chose not to use closer Ken Giles for the third straight day and sent Chris Devenski to the mound with a 5-3 lead for the bottom of the ninth.

Miguel Anjudar walked, Torres struck out and Gardner drove a fastball just over a leaping George Springer at the right-field wall for his third home run in four games.

Aaron Judge followed with a double and Giancarlo Stanton reached on a two-out infield single that ended an 0-for-16 slide before Devenski struck out Sanchez.

Chapman (2-0) walked Kemp with two outs in the 10th, threw a wild pitch with Springer at the plate and nearly hurled another one. But Sanchez caught the pitch that ricocheted off the top of the low wall behind the plate and fired a perfect throw to Andujar for the tag.

Andujar doubled against Brad Peacock (1-3) with two outs in the 10th, and Torres lined an opposite-field single to right. Andujar slid in as Springer’s throw was wide to the first-base side, and Torres raised his hands and then his helmet after rounding first base.

Pitcher CC Sabathia, Andujar and Sanchez also made errors in the Yankees’ worst-fielding game since July 21, 2014, against Texas.

Torres has four errors in four games and six in 32 games since his big league debut. New York’s two wild pitches raised the total with Sanchez behind the plate to a major league-high 30.

INDIANS 7, WHITE SOX 3: Michael Brantley, Jose Ramirez and Jason Kipnis each hit a solo home run as Cleveland won at home.

Brantley was 3 for 4 and extended his hitting streak to 18 games, the longest active streak in the majors. He homered in the third and had an RBI single in the seventh.

Ramirez hit his team-leading 16th home run in the fifth and drove in a run with a first-inning double.

Kipnis homered in the eighth for Cleveland.

Chicago has lost 5 of 6 and has the worst record in the majors (16-36)..

CUBS 8, PIRATES 6: Anthony Rizzo shook off the boos and sparked a late rally with his ninth home run of the season as Chicago won at Pittsburgh.

A day after his aggressive slide at home plate that took out Pittsburgh catcher Elias Diaz drew a rebuke from Major League Baseball, Rizzo doubled in the first inning and sent a solo shot off Edgar Santana (2-1) just over the railing of the Clemente Wall in right field to knot the game at 4.

The Cubs then piled on against Pittsburgh’s sagging bullpen.

CARDINALS 6, BREWERS 1: Michael Wacha pitched two-hit ball for 62/3 innings and St. Louis, boosted by three home runs, beat host Milwaukee.
