Saturday’s other MLB Games

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Pirates 2, Brewers 1

PITTSBURGH

Josh Harrison singled home Gift Ngoepe with one out in the 10th inning to lift Pittsburgh over Milwaukee. Ngoepe led off the inning with a single against Carlos Torres (1-3), advanced to second on a wild pitch and took third on pinch-hitter Jose Osuna’s fly ball. Harrison drove a ball over the head of right fielder Domingo Santana for his seventh career walk-off hit. Tony Watson (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the Pirates. Pittsburgh’s Gerrit Cole and Milwaukee’s Matt Garza each allowed a run over seven innings.

Reds 14, Giants 2

CINCINNATI

Adam Duvall, Patrick Kivlehan and Eugenio Suarez each hit a solo home run in the first three innings, and Cincinnati set a season high in runs for the second straight game with a rout of San Francisco. Nine players drove in at least one run for the Reds, who got 18 hits and have scored 27 runs over a two-game span for the first time since May 2010 against Houston. Nine of Cincinnati’s 18 hits went for extra bases. Cincinnati sent 11 batters to the plate during a six-run third inning that left the Reds up 10-2.

Cardinals 5, Braves 3

ATLANTA

Mike Leake won his fourth straight decision, Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams homered as St. Louis beat Atlanta. Aledmys Diaz went 3 for 4 and drove in two runs to help the Cardinals improve to 12-5 since beginning the season 3-9. Leake (4-1) allowed three hits, three runs, two walks and struck out two in seven innings. He held the Braves to just one hit before Matt Kemp doubled in the seventh and scored on Adonis Garcia’s three-run homer.

Nationals 6, Phillies 2

PHILADELPHIA

Ryan Zimmerman homered, drove in three runs and led Washington to a victory over Philadelphia. A.J. Cole (1-0) allowed one run over six innings in his first start of the season and helped the Nationals win their fourth straight game. The Nationals lead the majors with a 21-9 record and won the last two games without 2015 NL MVP Bryce Harper. Harper strained his left groin on Thursday and could return to the lineup Sunday.

Mets 11, Marlins 3

NEW YORK

Asdrubal Cabrera doubled to spark a five-run first inning against fill-in starter Odrisamer Despaigne, then joined New York’s long injury list when he hurt his left thumb and was forced to leave a rout of Miami. Jay Bruce drove in three runs with a pair of doubles, and Michael Conforto forced home runs with a pair of bases-loaded walks as the Mets won for the sixth time in eight games. Miami has lost nine of 11. A sloppy evening included a 39-minute rain delay after Cabrera landed on his thumb diving for Marcell Ozuna’s ground single through the shortstop hole in the third inning.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Red Sox 11, Twins 1

MINNEAPOLIS

Rick Porcello pitched seven sharp innings and got some rare run support to win his first start since opening day, and Chris Young homered twice to lead Boston over Minnesota. After equaling last season’s loss total in less than a month, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner finally got to pitch with a lead again when Boston took advantage of a costly Minnesota error and scored eight two-out runs in the second. Porcello (2-4) cruised the rest of the way, allowing only Robbie Grossman’s homer in the third.

Rays 6, Blue Jays 1

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Logan Morrison and Colby Rasmus hit two-run homers and Jake Odorizzi pitched seven strong innings for Tampa Bay in a victory over Toronto. Odorizzi (2-1) gave up one run in seven innings, the seventh straight time the right-hander has given up two runs or fewer in starts against Toronto. Morrison put the Rays up 2-1 in the third inning with his seventh home run. It came off Toronto starter Marco Estrada after a single by Evan Longoria. The home run for Rasmus, who spent the first month of the season on the disabled list while recovering from October surgeries, came on his first hit with the Rays.

Orioles 6, White Sox 5

BALTIMORE

Dylan Bundy pitched six effective innings to earn his fourth straight victory, Trey Mancini homered and drove in three runs, and Baltimore beat Chicago. Manny Machado hit his team-leading eighth home run for the Orioles, who will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Sunday. Bundy (5-1) allowed three runs and six hits, walking one and striking out three. The right-hander is tied for the major league lead in wins and has pitched at least six innings in each of his seven starts. Bundy left with a 6-3 lead, and the bullpen made it stand up.

INTERLEAGUE

Yankees 11, Cubs 6

CHICAGO

Aaron Hicks tied a career high with four hits, Starlin Castro homered and drove in three runs against his former team, and New York pounded Brett Anderson and Chicago. Hicks connected for a three-run homer in the eighth inning as the AL East leaders (19-9) earned their fourth straight win, extending their surprising start. Jordan Montgomery (2-1) pitched into the seventh for his first road win in his fifth major league start.
