 Cardinals 3, Dodgers 1
On the day the St. Louis honored the late Oscar Taveras with a
pregame ceremony, Carlos Martinez channeled his emotions into seven
powerful shutout innings to beat Los Angeles 3-1.
While warming up in the bullpen, Martinez (5-2) appeared to wipe
tears from his eyes as a tribute to his former teammate Taveras, who
died last October at age 22 in an auto accident in the Dominican
Republic, played on a video board.
Martinez then allowed just one hit -- a second-inning single to
Andre Ethier -- and walked three with eight strikeouts.

Indians 6, Mariners 3 (12 innings)
Cleveland had mashed 17 hits but only had three runs by the 12th

added another hit and two more runs in a 6-3 win after rallying from
an early 3-0 deficit.

out of the inning with the bases loaded. Price had thrown a
season-high 121 pitches.
