 Nationals 5, Tigers 4
Pinch-hitter Clint Robinson hit a solo homer with one out in the
bottom of the ninth off Mark Lowe as the Washington Nationals beat
the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Monday, sending the Tigers to their
seventh loss in a row.
Robinson's homer came one batter after Danny Espinosa was ejected
after he was called out on strikes by home plate umpire Brian
Knight.
Marlins 4, Brewers 1
Jose Fernandez stuck out 11 batters in seven scoreless innings and
the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Monday despite a
Miami run being taken off the scoreboard when J.T. Realmuto passed
teammate Marcell Ozuna on the basepaths after hitting a home run.
Fernandez (4-2) allowed four hits and four walks while improving to
20-1 at home in his 30th start at Marlins Park. The seven innings
are a season high.
 Reds 3, Pirates 2
Joey Votto hit a game-tying home run in the sixth and catcher Tucker
Barnhart added a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh as the Cincinnati
Reds held on for a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday
in the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Zack Cozart also homered, and Billy Hamilton had three hits for
Cincinnati (14-19).
Yankees 6, Royals 3
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman allowed a run in the ninth inning
during his season debut, and New York hit five solo home runs, two
by Carlos Beltran, in a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on
Monday night.
After completing his 30-day suspension for an offseason
domestic-violence incident, Chapman was activated from the
restricted list.
Astros 7, Indians 1
Mike Fiers outdueled Corey Kluber and produced his best start of the
season as the Houston Astros took the opener of a three-game series
with the Cleveland Indians 7-1 on Monday night at Minute Maid Park.
Fiers (3-1) allowed one run on three hits and two walks with four
strikeouts over seven innings. His lone hiccup came in the sixth
inning when he surrendered a leadoff double to nine-hole hitter
Rajai Davis, who eventually scored following three consecutive
groundball outs.
Red Sox 14, A's 7
The Boston Red Sox shelled struggling Oakland ace Sonny Gray for six
runs in the fourth inning, and Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a grand slam
and drove in six runs in a 14-7 rout of the Athletics in the opener
of a three-game series.
David Ortiz stroked two doubles and Bradley had a two-run single in
the big inning that wiped out a 4-1 deficit and helped send the A's
to their third straight loss. Oakland have allowed 24 runs in their
past two games.
 Diamondbacks 10, Rockies 5
The Arizona Diamondbacks struck for five runs with two outs in the
fifth, and they rode that go-ahead uprising Monday night to a 10-5
win over the Colorado Rockies.
Jean Segura began the fateful rally with a homer, and Jake Lamb, who
had four RBIs, delivered the key hit, a three-run homer, as the
Diamondbacks beat the Rockies for just the second time in seven
meetings this year.

White Sox 8, Rangers 4
Todd Frazier put the finishing touches on a grand outing with a
grand slam in the 12th inning to give the Chicago White Sox an 8-4
win over Texas Rangers.
Chicago (23-10) won for the seventh time in the last nine games
despite squandering leads in both the eighth and ninth innings at
Globe Life Park. The owners of the best record in the American
League are 13 games over .500 for the first time since 2012.
Mariners 5, Rays 2
Ketel Marte highlighted a 4-for-5 day with a three-run home run in
the sixth inning, helping Felix Hernandez earn his franchise record
146th career win as the Seattle Mariners beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2
on Monday night.
Marte's first home run of the season broke a 2-2 tie before
Hernandez and the Seattle bullpen held the Rays at bay to end Tampa
Bay's four-game winning streak.
Blue Jays 3, Giants 1
Aaron Sanchez limited the San Francisco Giants to one run over seven
innings, and Edwin Encarnacion belted a two-run home run on Monday,
leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory in the opener of a
three-game interleague series.
Michael Saunders had a run-scoring single and Toronto relievers
Gavin Floyd and Robert Osuna combined for two game-ending shutout
innings as the Blue Jays prevailed in their first meeting with the
Giants since 2013.
Osuna, who pitched around a leadoff double by Brandon Crawford in
the ninth, recorded his seventh save.
Mets 4, Dodgers 2
New York Mets right-hander Steven Matz was the hero on the mound and
with the bat on Monday at Dodger Stadium, with his fifth straight
win and an RBI double that helped the Mets to a 4-2 win against the
Los Angeles Dodgers.
With two out and one on in the sixth and the Mets leading 3-2, Kevin
Plawecki hit a grounder to second baseman Howie Kendrick, who
bobbled the ball and fell over, allowing Plawecki to reach safely.
Kendrick's costly error set the table for Matz, who doubled to left
field to score Flores from second.
