Rockies run past Orioles

BALTIMORE — Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story had two RBIs apiece to lead the surging Rockies past the first-place Baltimore Orioles 6-3 Tuesday night. Colorado has won five of its past six games and rebounded from a disappointing series opener when they lost in the 10th inning on a throwing error by right-hander Jordan Lyles. Marlins 5, Phillies 0: Giancarlo Stanton drove in two runs to lead Miami to a win over Philadelphia at Marlins Park. Marlins center fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who started the day needing four hits to reach 3,000, went 1-for-5 and also stole a base. Both of Stanton’s RBI hits came on shots to the opposite field. Cardinals 3, Mets 2 (Game 1): Jedd Gyorko hit a two-run home run in the third inning, and St. Louis defeated New York in the opener of a doubleheader. The Cardinals opened their 10-game road trip in a mostly empty stadium, and all the runs were scored in the opening four innings. Mets 3, Cardinals 1 (Game 2): Bartolo Colon pitched seven strong innings and combined with two relievers on a three-hitter as New York earned a split of their doubleheader against St. Louis with a victory in the nightcap. Colon (9-5) rebounded from three consecutive starts that did not last beyond 5 2/3 innings by allowing a run and three hits. It was the fifth time he lasted at least seven innings and allowed one run this season. White Sox 3, Cubs 0: James Shields threw 7 2/3 scoreless innings, and Adam Eaton homered as the White Sox earned their fourth straight win, defeating the Cubs at US Cellular Field. Shields, who was booed off the mound on June 8 following a rough first start for the White Sox after being obtained from the San Diego Padres, left to a standing ovation Tuesday. He allowed only four hits while striking out five and walking four. Mariners 7, Pirates 4: Seattle ace Felix Hernandez, in his second start back from a calf injury, gave up three runs over the first two innings before settling down to lead the Mariners to a win over Pittsburgh at PNC Park. Hernandez (5-4) pitched six innings, giving up all four runs on nine hits, with three strikeouts and a walk. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 24th save. Braves 2, Twins 0: Adonis Garcia homered and Lucas Harrell pitched six strong innings to lead Atlanta to a win over Minnesota at Target Field. Almost 25 years since playing in one of the most epic World Series of all time, won by the Twins with a 1-0 victory in Game 7, the Braves and Twins locked up in another low-scoring game. The stakes were a little different this time around; both Atlanta and Minnesota have the worst records in their respective leagues. Tigers 9, Red Sox 8: Tyler Collins walked with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to force in the winning run, and Detroit edged Boston at Fenway Park. Collins worked a two-out, full-count walk from Red Sox reliever Robbie Ross Jr. (1-2), allowing Justin Upton to trot home from third. Blue Jays 7, Padres 6 (12 innings): Toronto scored three runs in the bottom of the 12th inning — including the winner on a wild pitch — to come back and defeat San Diego. With Edwin Encarnacion batting, Paul Clemens uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Devon Travis to score the winning run from third. Yankees 6, Astros 3: CC Sabathia snapped a six-start winless streak and New York claimed its third consecutive series with a victory over Houston at Minute Maid Park. Sabathia (6-8) produced his best start since mid-June, allowing just two runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings. He has surrendered at least four runs and seven hits in each of his six starts dating back to a 4-1 win over the Twins on June 16. Angels 13, Royals 0: Yunel Escobar had five hits, matching his career high, and Carlos Perez contributed four hits, including a home run, as Los Angeles topped Kansas City. Johnny Giavotella had three hits, including two doubles, and Kole Calhoun drove in four runs as the Angels accumulated 22 hits, equaling their season high. Mike Trout drove in three runs with two hits. Indians 7, Nationals 6: Francisco Lindor’s RBI single capped a three-run bottom of the ninth inning as Cleveland rallied for a wild win over Washington at Progressive Field. Reliever Bryan Shaw (2-4) got the win for Cleveland while Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon (2-4) took the loss. Other results: Athletics 6, Rangers 3; Brewers 9, Diamondbacks 4; Dodgers 3, Rays 2; Giants 9, Reds 7.
