 Pitching in frigid conditions with a game-time temperature of 46
degrees and while wearing short sleeves, Pineda held the Mets to one
run and five hits over 7 2/3 innings. Pineda struck out seven
without a walk and pitched into the eighth for the fifth time in his
45 career starts.
While Pineda (3-0) pitched effectively, it took three swings for the
Yankees to grab control and win for the eighth time in 11 games.
Teixeira had his 38th multi-homer game and first since July 9 at
Cleveland. He hit two-run home runs in the first and third inning
against Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom (2-2).
Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo home run and second
baseman Stephen Drew lifted a sacrifice fly for the Yankees, who won
a home game against the Mets for the first time since June 10, 2012.
Indians 13, Tigers 1
DETROIT -- Brandon Moss drove in seven runs -- five with a pair of
home runs plus two with a double -- and Danny Salazar struck out a
career-best 11 batters in seven innings to help send Detroit to its
fourth straight loss.
The right-handed Salazar (2-0) allowed six hits and walked three in
his second start since being recalled from the minors.
Detroit scored 25 runs in a three-game sweep of Cleveland April
10-12 but has scored just 31 in 11 games since.
The Indians packed their lineup with left-handers against
right-hander Shane Greene, who suffered his first loss.
Rays 12, Blue Jays 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- James Loney hit a two-run homer and a double
in his return from the 15-day disabled list to lift the Rays.
Catcher Rene Rivera and designated hitter Tim Beckham also hit
two-run homers as the Rays (9-8) won their third consecutive game.
Reliever Jose Dominguez went 1 2/3 innings to get his first career
win and Matt Andriese notched his first career save.
Phillies 1, Braves 0
PHILADELPHIA -- First baseman Freddie Freeman's ninth-inning error
allowed the game's only run to score.
Freeman's miscue, his second of the game and the fourth by the
Braves, made a winner of Philadelphia reliever Ken Giles (1-0). Jim
Johnson (1-2) took the loss for the Braves, who have dropped four
straight.
Shortstop Freddy Galvis, who went 3-for-4, led off the ninth with a
single. Pinch hitter Cesar Hernandez, batting for Giles, sacrificed
him to second. Galvis took third on a passed ball by catcher A.J.
Pierzynski, and with the infield in, left fielder Ben Revere bounced
a ball to Freeman. He was unable to field it cleanly, and Galvis
scored.
Marlins 3, Nationals 2
MIAMI -- Third baseman Martin Prado hit a tie-breaking RBI single in
the eighth inning to lead Miami to its third straight win and send
Washington to its third straight loss.
Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria started the winning rally with a
lead-off double, advancing to third on second baseman Dee Gordon's
infield single. Prado then went the other way and delivered the
game-winner on a liner to right field.
The Nationals lost despite two RBIs by right fielder Bryce Harper,
who went 2-for-2 with a walk.
Red Sox 7, Orioles 5
BALTIMORE -- Brock Holt hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the
top of the eighth inning to lead Boston past Baltimore, which lost
its fifth straight game.
With the game tied at 4-4, pinch-hitter Allen Craig hit what looked
like an inning-ending grounder to third baseman Manny Machado with
two outs in the eighth, but the third baseman missed it.
That put runners at first and third, and Holt hit his three-run
blast off right-hander Darren O'Day.
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz hit a three-run homer in the
fifth and left fielder Hanley Ramirez followed that with a solo
homer.
Cardinals 3, Brewers 0
MILWAUKEE -- Jayson Heyward and Jhonny Peralta each hit his second
home runs of the season and Carlos Martinez pitched seven shutout
innings to lead St. Louis.
Peralta was 3-for-4, and Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter had
two hits extend his hitting streak to 11 games.
Martinez improved to 2-0, limiting Milwaukee to four hits and two
walks while striking out eight.

Cubs 7, Reds 3 (11 innings)
CINCINNATI -- Jonathan Herrera's RBI single drove home the go-ahead
run, sparking a four-run 11th inning to lift the Cubs in the opener
of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Catcher David Ross added a two-run double in the 11th inning off
Burke Badenhop (0-1), who gave up four runs on four hits in an
inning of work.
First baseman Anthony Rizzo and left fielder Chris Coghlan homered
for Chicago (9-7) off Reds starter Mike Leake.
Mariners 2, Twins 0
SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez threw his first complete game, and his
first shutout, since 2012 to give the Mariners (7-9) their second
consecutive win and their fourth in six games.
Hernandez scattered six hits while striking out nine. He threw 102
pitches to record his first complete game since beating the Twins
1-0 on Aug. 27, 2012.
Solo home runs by Nelson Cruz and Logan Morrison provided all the
offense Hernandez would need.
Rockies 6, Giants 4
DENVER -- The Rockies fell behind three times, but they came back to
get their
third straight win and end the Giants three-game winning streak.
Eddie Butler (3-1) allowed four runs in six innings but ended up the
winning pitcher when the Rockies chased Giants starter Chris Heston
(2-2) during their three-run sixth that put them on top 6-4.
Right fielder Carlos Gonzalez broke an 0-for-16 slide in the sixth
with a leadoff double. Pinch hitter Rafael Ynoa had a two-run double
in the inning, and right fielder Corey Dickerson added a run-scoring
single.
Pirates 4, Diamondbacks 1
PHOENIX -- Pittsburgh right-hander Gerrit Cole gave up one run in 7
2/3 innings, and third baseman Josh Harrison had two hits and two
RBIs to lead the Pirates
Cole (3-0) has won his last seven decisions since Sept. 7, 2014, the
most victories in the major leagues in that stretch. He gave up
seven hits, struck out seven and walked two.
Angels 3, Rangers 2
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- David Freese's two-run home run off reliever
Keone Kela in the seventh inning lifted the Angels past Texas.
Freese's homer made a winner of Angels starting pitcher Garrett
Richards, who gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings, but
stood to lose the game if not for Freese's big hit.
Angels reliever Joe Smith pitched a scoreless eighth, and Huston
Street did the same in the ninth for his sixth save.
Dodgers 3, Padres 0
SAN DIEGO -- Behind the stellar pitching of Zack Greinke, the
Dodgers ended a three-game losing streak.
Greinke (3-0) limited the Padres to four hits and three walks while
striking out seven over seven innings. Three Dodgers relievers
pitched the final two innings, with Yimi Garcia earning his first
major-league save in two chances this year.
The Padres have lost three straight and have not scored in 14
consecutive innings.
Astros 5, A's 4 (11 innings)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Left fielder Robbie Grossman hit a tie-breaking,
two-run single in the top of the 11th inning, and the Astros held on
for the win.
Grossman hit off Eric O'Flaherty that gave Houston a 4-2 lead, and
George Springer added a run-scoring single off Fernando Abad, making
it 5-2
The A's, who had pulled even with two runs in the bottom of the
10th, nearly did it again in the bottom of the 11th.
Shortstop Marcus Semien hit a two-run home to make it 5-4, and the
A's then got a runner to second with no one out, but failed to score
the tying run.
White Sox 2, Royals 2 (suspended)
CHICAGO -- A steady rain made conditions at U.S. Cellular Field
unplayable, stopping the game in the top of the ninth inning with
the score tied 2-2.
Play will resume 2:10 p.m. EST Saturday before the originally
scheduled game, which will begin shortly after the conclusion of
Friday night's game. Rain is expected throughout the day.
