Scoring three runs in the seventh inning without recording a hit,
the Boston Red Sox rallied for a wild win over the Washington
Nationals.

same play by Washington reliever Blake Treinen. A groundout by

two of them never left the infield.
Rajai Davis had two hits and an RBI for Detroit (7-1).

White Sox 4, Indians 1
The Indians lost their starting pitcher two batters into the game,

Chicago (3-4) scored twice in that first inning and Jose Abreu
homered in the fifth.

first major league win.
- - -
Marlins 8, Braves 2
Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton broke his slump by going
3-for-3 with four RBIs in Miami's win.

broke out and the victory was the first for the Marlins (2-6) over
the Braves (6-2) after four losses in which they had scored just
five runs.

to run its winning streak to four.

Padres 5, Diamondbacks 1
Odrisamer Despaigne held Arizona to one run on two hits over seven
innings and left fielder Justin Upton hit a home run as the San

needed only 84 pitches to complete seven innings in his first start
-- and first win -- of the season for the Padres (5-4).

Rockies 4, Giants 1
The Colorado Rockies silenced the San Francisco Giants bats for the
second game in a row, getting a combined six-hitter from six
pitchers in a victory.
One day after five Rockies teamed to ruin San Francisco's home
opener in a 2-0 Colorado win, right-hander Christian Bergman teamed
up with his club's deep bullpen to extend the Giants' scoreless
streak at home to 16 innings before surrendering a run in the
eighth.
Colorado moved to 6-2 while the Giants (3-6) lost their fifth
straight. (Editing by Jahmal Corner)
