Cubs sweep Angels

NEW YORK — Jason Hammel extended his winning streak to five and the Chicago Cubs completed a four-game season sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 3-1 victory Wednesday. Hammel (12-5) allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two through a seven-inning outing. He also had a fifth-inning hit and scored a run. The victory was the eighth straight for Chicago (71-41) and second in a row over Los Angeles (49-64) in the abbreviated Wrigley Field series. Phillies 6, Dodgers 2 Freddy Galvis hit a three-run homer and Ryan Howard added a three-run double to lift Philadelphia over Los Angeles. Elvis Araujo, who was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley Tuesday, got the win in relief. Araujo (2-1) allowed one hit and hit one batter in his lone inning, the sixth. Araujo replaced starter Jeremy Hellickson, who left the game after five innings with back tightness. Nationals 7, Indians 4 Jayson Werth had a three-run homer and a double and scored three times, and Anthony Rendon added two doubles to help the Nationals earn a split of the series between division leaders. The Nationals pounded out 11 hits despite playing their third straight game without right fielder Bryce Harper, who remains sidelined with a stiff neck. Washington broke a 4-4 tie with a three-run fifth. Daniel Murphy had an RBI double in the inning, and Rendon added a two-run double. A's 1, Orioles 0 Ross Detwiler pitched eight shutout innings in his return to the major leagues and Oakland defeated Baltimore. Detwiler (1-0) was called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier Wednesday and made his A's debut and first major-league start since May 14, 2015, with Texas. He gave up six hits, struck out two and walked none. Royals 3, White Sox 2 (14 innings) Lorenzo Cain delivered a two-out, RBI single in the 14th inning for his fifth career walk-off hit as Kansas City edged Chicago. Cain's shot to center scored Christian Colon, who started the inning with a single. Paulo Orlando's sacrifice bunt moved Colon to second. Rangers 5, Rockies 4 Adrian Beltre singled with the tying run on third base and winning run on second in the eighth inning to lead Texas past Colorado for its fifth straight win. The RBIs were numbers 1,536 and 1,537 for the 37-year-old Beltre, who tied Joe DiMaggio for 47th all time. Blue Jays 7, Rays 0 Troy Tulowitzki homered and had five RBIs, J.A. Happ struck out seven in six scoreless innings for his 10th straight win and Toronto beat Tampa Bay. Justin Smoak also homered and Melvin Upton Jr stole three bases for the Blue Jays (65-50) in the rubber match of the three-game series. Cardinals 3, Reds 2 Jaime Garcia delivered another long, efficient outing when St Louis needed it. After going eight shutout innings Friday, he pitched eight more against Cincinnati. Garcia (9-8) allowed six hits and two runs, walking one and fanning four before leaving after Joey Votto doubled and Adam Duvall singled to start the ninth. In other games it was: Padres 4, Pirates 0; Yankees 9, Red Sox 4; Diamondbacks 3, Mets 2 (12 innings); Brewers 4, Braves 3; Giants 1, Marlins 0; Astros v Twins (postponed, rain).
