Michael King (4-1) pitched one scoreless inning for the victory, as four New York pitchers limited the Mariners to three hits. Francisco Mejia homered for Seattle.

Rangers 3, Tigers 1

The Rangers won the opener of a four-game series despite being limited to four hits. The Tigers lost their fifth straight, all at home.

Corey Seager led off the Texas ninth against Gregory Soto (2-4) with a walk. One out later, Kole Calhoun was hit by a pitch. A strikeout put the Tigers one out away from victory. Nathaniel Lowe then drew a walk before Duran unloaded the bases with his extra-base hit down the right field line.

Mets 5, Brewers 4

Nick Plummer recorded the tiebreaking RBI in the eighth inning for host New York, which overcame a three-run deficit to edge Milwaukee in the rubber game of a three-game series.

The Mets have won four of their past six games. The Brewers fell to 3-11 this month.

Both starting pitchers -- Tylor Megill for the Mets and Aaron Ashby for the Brewers -- left with injuries.

Milwaukee called his exit precautionary.

Josh Bell homered for the Nationals, who have been outscored 41-13 during a five-game losing streak. Patrick Corbin (3-9) allowed nine runs in 3 1/3 innings, but the seven against him in the third inning were all unearned.

Angels 4, Mariners 1

Mike Trout hit a pair of two-run homers and Shohei Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings as Los Angeles won at Seattle in the opener of a five-game series.

Ohtani (5-4) walked two and struck out six. He went 2-for-4 at the plate. Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless ninth inning for his 13th save. It was just the third win in the past 21 games for the Angels.
