AROUND THE HORN Sunday’s other MLB games

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Angels 5, Rangers 2

ARLINGTON, TEXAS

JC Ramirez got his first win as a starter on his fourth try after 111 career relief appearances, and Jefry Marte homered and hit a tiebreaking, two-run single to help Los Angeles beat Texas. Ramirez (3-2) matched his career high from two starts earlier with nine strikeouts in 51/3 innings. The right-hander has been filling in for injured Garrett Richards, who hasn’t pitched since leaving his first start with a right biceps strain.

Orioles 7, Yankees 4 11 innings

NEW YORK

Mark Trumbo hit a go-ahead single in a three-run 11th off Bryan Mitchell, who returned to the mound after an unusual inning at first base, and Baltimore rebounded from another blown late lead. Didi Gregorius hit a two-out, two-run single in the New York ninth that made it 4-all. Logan Verrett (1-0), making his Orioles debut, escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the 10th.

Blue Jays 3, Rays 1

TORONTO

Russell Martin hit a go-ahead single during a three-run rally in the eighth inning and Toronto posted back-to-back wins for the first time this year. The Blue Jays started the day at 7-17, the worst record in the majors. A loss would’ve left them with the poorest winning percentage in March/April in team history.

Tigers 7, White Sox 3

DETROIT

Jose Iglesias doubled and drove in three runs, helping Detroit stop a four-game losing streak. Jordan Zimmermann (3-1) picked up a sloppy victory, allowing three runs in five-plus innings.

Astros 7, Athletics 2

HOUSTON

Dallas Keuchel threw 72/3 solid innings and Marwin Gonzalez hit a three-run homer, leading Houston to the victory. Keuchel (5-0) struck out nine while allowing one run and three hits. The left-hander became the second pitcher in Astros history to get five wins in April, joining Roger Clemens in 2004.

Twins 7, Royals 5

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Miguel Sano homered and drove in five runs, helping the Twins hand the Royals their ninth straight loss. Sano posted his fourth consecutive multihit game. He has 11 hits in his last 16 at-bats.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Nationals 23, Mets 5

WASHINGTON

Anthony Rendon had 10 RBIs, three home runs and six hits as Washington took advantage of Noah Syndergaard’s injury to set a franchise scoring record. Rendon went a career-best 6 for 6 and scored five times while breaking the club mark for RBIs. He became the 13th player in major league history to drive in 10 or more runs in a game — the first since Garret Anderson did it for the Angels in 2007. Matt Wieters added two homers, a single and two walks as the Nationals salvaged the finale of a three-game series between NL East rivals.

Padres 5, Giants 2, 12 innings

SAN FRANCISCO

Wil Myers hit a three-run homer in the top of the 12th inning to send San Diego past San Francisco. Myers’ seventh home run and second in two games came off reliever George Kontos (0-2). Cory Spangenberg singled against Kontos leading off the inning, and Erick Aybar singled two batters later. Hector Sanchez, who played parts of five seasons with the Giants, had a pinch-hit, two-run homer off San Francisco closer Mark Melancon in the ninth to send the game to extra innings.

Reds 5, Cardinals 4

ST. LOUIS

Joey Votto hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and Adam Duvall doubled three times and singled for Cincinnati. The Reds had lost eight of their previous nine games. Wandy Peralta (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh. Closer Raisel Iglesias threw two innings to record his fourth save in as many chances. Trevor Rosenthal (0-1) gave up one run on two hits.

Brewers 4, Braves 3

MILWAUKEE

Domingo Santana homered twice and drove in four runs as Milwaukee ended Atlanta’s four-game winning streak. Santana hit a solo shot in the fifth, then added a three-run drive in the sixth inning. He has five homers this season, including three in the three-game series against Atlanta. Freddie Freeman hit his ninth home run for the Braves. Matt Garza (1-0) pitched 62/3 solid innings in his second start of the year. Neftali Feliz worked the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances.

Dodgers 5, Phillies 3

LOS ANGELES

Andrew Toles hit a three-run homer and Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched 51/3 solid innings, helping Los Angeles complete the three-game sweep. Ryu (1-4) earned his first victory of the season in his second consecutive strong start. The veteran left-hander struck out nine and allowed one run. Odubel Herrera hit a two-run homer for Philadelphia in the ninth. Kenley Jansen then came in and struck out Cesar Hernandez for his seventh save.

Diamondbacks 2, Rockies 0 13 innings

PHOENIX

Daniel Descalso hit a two-run homer into the Chase Field swimming pool in the 13th inning, lifting Arizona to the victory. Descalso’s drive off Jordan Lyles (0-1) salvaged the finale of the weekend series for the Diamondbacks and ended the longest scoreless game in Chase Field history. Seven pitchers, led by Patrick Corbin’s 61/3 innings, combined to shut out the Rockies on five hits. Randall Delgado (1-0) pitched the final two innings to get the victory.

INTERLEAGUE

Red Sox 6, Cubs 2

BOSTON

Marco Hernandez scored the go-ahead run on Pedro Strop’s wild pitch in Boston’s four-run eighth inning. The Red Sox took two of three in the lively weekend series that featured a strong showing for Cubs fans, chants in support of each side and the World Series trophies that ended long title droughts for the once-frustrated franchises. Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer for Boston, and the Red Sox got two more runs on shortstop Addison Russell’s throwing error in the eighth. Kris Bryant hit a solo homer for Chicago, extending his hitting streak to 11 games.
