victory, Carlos Correa hit his 14th home run, and Houston continued
its mastery of Oakland.

career starts (1-2). Evan Gattis and Jake Marisnick each had two
RBIs for the Astros. Correa went 2-for-5 with a solo shot and scored
twice.

the seventh inning and Nelson Cruz followed with a run-scoring
single as Seattle won its fourth straight game.

out. Perez worked the count full before propelling a Scott pitch out
to left, scoring Jorge Bonifacio, Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer.

just before the home run.

game.
Twins 4, White Sox 2
Jose Berrios allowed two runs and four hits in eight strong innings
and Miguel Sano's solo blast in the third inning gave Minnesota the
lead for good.

Minnesota as a rookie in 2016, struck out eight and walked one.
Brandon Kintzler pitched a scoreless ninth for his 19th save in 22
opportunities.

homer and the Blue Jays hung on to defeat Texas.

Ross (1-1) and, two batters later, Steve Pearce added an RBI double.
Ryan Goins followed with a two-run double before Darwin Barney
capped the inning with his blast.
Padres 3, Cubs 2
Wil Myers scored on an eighth-inning bases-loaded walk as San Diego
beat Chicago to salvage the finale of a three-game series.
