Cubs 9, Reds 2
Anthony Rizzo belted his first career inside-the-park home run in the first inning and Kyle Hendricks allowed two runs over six frames as the Chicago Cubs completed the sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 9-2 victory.
Rizzo hit a liner to left-center field that caromed off the glove of left fielder Adam Duvall and rolled to the warning track. Rizzo raced around the bases to stake the Cubs to an early 3-0 lead.
Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton, who nearly collided with Duvall on the play, was struck on the left side of his face by the ball and had to leave the game.
Tigers 10, Marlins 3
Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs and Daniel Norris struck out a career-high eight batters as Detroit cruised past Miami.
Cabrera and Jarrod Saltamacchia, who also homered, had three hits apiece for the Tigers.
Steven Moya added a solo shot, Victor Martinez had two hits and two RBIs and Ian Kinsler contributed two hits and three runs scored. Norris (1-0), making his second start of the season, gave up two runs on eight hits in five innings.
Blue Jays 5, Rockies 3
Toronto starter Aaron Sanchez gave nearly all the Blue Jays' relievers the afternoon off as he dazzled the Colorado Rockies.
Sanchez worked a season-high-tying eight innings as the Blue Jays beat the Rockies 5-3.
Sanchez (8-1) got 14 outs on ground balls, including two double plays. The Rockies managed just six singles off Sanchez, who issued two walks and recorded three strikeouts during his 106-pitch outing.
Orioles 12, Padres 6
Yovani Gallardo's solid pitching enabled the Baltimore Orioles to record their seventh straight win with a 12-6 victory over the host San Diego Padres.
Gallardo (3-1) allowed three runs on as many hits and struck out six in six innings to pick up the victory.
Mark Trumbo paced the Orioles with four RBIs and Manny Machado added three in the Orioles' 12-hit attack.
Rays 4, Red Sox 0
Tampa Bay starter Matt Moore took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and pitched seven shutout innings, outdueling former teammate David Price.
Price (8-5) has just one win in his last seven starts, and he is now 0-3 as a visitor since being dealt from the Rays two years ago.
Astros 10, Angels 4
Jose Altuve was a homer short of the cycle, and the Houston Astros completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 10-4 win.
Altuve, who has an 11-game hitting streak, singled in the first inning, tripled in the third and doubled in the fifth.
With a chance for the cycle in the sixth, he lined out to left. Then in the ninth, he singled to left for his fourth hit.
George Springer and Luis Valbuena homered for Houston, which got a serviceable performance on the mound from starter Dallas Keuchel (5-9), who gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks to get the win.
Phillies 9, Diamondbacks 8 (10 innings)
Philadelphia pinch-hitter Tyler Goeddel hit a tie-breaking sacrifice fly in the 10th inning as the Phillies completed a 9-8 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Peter Bourjos beat out an infield single to shortstop with one out off right-hander Silvino Bracho (0-2), and Cody Asche singled Bourjos to third base to bring up Goeddel.
Left-hander Brett Oberholtzer, the Phillies' seventh pitcher, worked around a one-out bunt single by Michael Bourn in the bottom of the 10th inning for his first career save.
