 Indians 5, Astros 1
Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer worked six no-hit innings before
departing with an elevated pitch count as the Indians beat the
Houston Astros 5-1.
Astros shortstop Jed Lowrie spoiled the Indians' no-hit bid with a
one-out solo home run in the ninth inning off left-hander Nick
Hagadone. Bauer, left-hander Kyle Crockett and righty Scott Atchison
held the Astros hitless through eight innings.
Bauer (1-0) posted a career-high 11 strikeouts but also walked five
batters, a factor in the 111 pitches he threw by the close of the
sixth.

Red Sox 6, Phillies 2
Boston's Justin Masterson pitched six strong innings and shortstop
Xander Bogaerts keyed a six-run third inning with a three-run triple
as the Red Sox beat Philadelphia 6-2.
Masterson, making his first start of the season after posting a
career-worst 5.88 ERA with Cleveland and St. Louis in 2014, allowed
two runs and three hits. He struck out seven and walked one.

Blue Jays 6, Yankees 3
Toronto left-hander Daniel Norris allowed Alex Rodriguez's first
home run in nearly 19 months but did enough for his first career
victory as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees 6-3.
Norris (1-0) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He
took a 5-1 lead into the sixth but allowed Rodriguez's first home
run since Sept. 22 2013.
It was A-Rod's 655th career homer and leaves him five shy of Hall of
Famer Willie Mays, who is fourth on the all-time list.

Mets 6, Nationals 3
Mets starter Matt Harvey pitched six shutout innings in his return
to the majors, and David Wright and Travis d'Arnaud each drove in
two runs, as New York beat Washington 6-3.
The Mets took two of three games in the season-opening series and
allowed just six runs and 17 hits by the defending National League
East champions.

San Francisco outfielder Justin Maxwell's two-out, pinch-hit single

pop fly while backpedalling into left field.

drove in three runs to lead Detroit to a 7-1 win and a three-game
sweep.
Detroit blanked Minnesota in the first two games of the series to
set a club record for shutouts at the start of a season. The 1963
St. Louis Cardinals remain the only team to have held their first
three opponents without a run.

since 2008.
