Silseth, 21, was called up from Double-A Rocket City with the
Angels in need of an extra starter ahead of a Saturday
doubleheader. An 11th-round draft pick out of the University of
Arizona last year, Silseth (1-0) allowed only one hit -- a
third-inning single by Elvis Andrus.
He walked two and struck out four while making 81 pitches before
handing the ball over the Angels' bullpen, which completed the
shutout. Aaron Loup (seventh inning), Ryan Tepera (eighth) and
Raisel Iglesias (ninth inning, eighth save) each threw a
scoreless inning and finished a two-hitter.
A's starter Daulton Jefferies (1-6) also went six strong
innings, but he allowed an RBI single to Brandon Marsh and a
solo homer to Andrew Velazquez, and that was enough for Los
Angeles.
Royals 14, Rockies 10
Hunter Dozier had five hits, Andrew Benintendi and Ryan O'Hearn
homered, and Kansas City beat Colorado in Denver.
Michael A. Taylor and Benintendi had three hits apiece, Salvador
Perez and Whit Merrifield each had two hits and Dylan Coleman
(1-1) pitched an inning of relief to earn the win for the
Royals.
Brendan Rodgers homered among his three hits, Sam Hilliard had
two hits and also went deep, C.J. Cron finished with three hits
and Ryan McMahon had two hits for the Rockies.
Brewers 2, Marlins 1
Jace Peterson drew a bases-loaded walk in the top of the ninth
inning -- the only free pass of the game -- that scored
Christian Yelich as Milwaukee defeated host Miami.
Peterson drew the four-pitch walk from Anthony Bender, who
inherited a bases-loaded, no-out jam from fellow reliever Tanner
Scott (0-1). Josh Hader pitched a scoreless ninth for his 13th
save. He is the first pitcher in major league history to go
13-for-13 on save chances to start a season.
The Marlins have lost 10 of their past 12 games. Eight of those
10 losses have come by just one run. Pablo Lopez set a career
high with 11 strikeouts, including nine on his changeup. He
allowed three hits, no walks and one run in seven innings, and
his major league-leading ERA rose slightly from 1.00 to 1.05.
Mariners 2, Mets 1
Ty France scored Seattle's first run and delivered the
tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth inning in a win over host
New York.
The Mariners, who played at Citi Field for the first time since
the park opened in 2009, won for just the fourth time in 12
games this month. The Mets, who have yet to lose a series this
season, have dropped two of three.
Former Mets pitcher Paul Sewald (2-1), who struck out Starling
Marte to strand two in the seventh before retiring all three
batters he faced in the eighth, got the win for Seattle. Sewald
went 1-14 for New York from 2017-2020 but is 12-4 for Seattle.
Red Sox 7, Rangers 1
Nick Pivetta allowed one run in seven innings and Boston rolled
to a victory in the opener of a three-game series in Arlington,
Texas.
Xander Bogaerts had two hits and two RBIs while J.D. Martinez
also had two hits to lead the Red Sox's 10-hit attack. Pivetta
(1-4) gave up just three hits and walked one. Boston has won two
of its past three games after losing five in a row.
Dane Dunning (1-2) surrendered five runs on six hits and two
walks in 5 2/3 innings while striking out six. The Rangers
managed just four hits, three by Kole Calhoun, while falling for
the second time in three contests.
Tigers 4, Orioles 2
Eduardo Rodriguez pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Miguel
Cabrera hit his 504th career home run and host Detroit held off
Baltimore.
Rodriguez (1-2) allowed five hits and four walks while striking
out three to record his first win since signing with Detroit as
a free agent. Cabrera had an RBI double along with his solo
homer, while Spencer Torkelson had two hits and drove in a run.
Orioles starter Jordan Lyles (2-3) gave up four runs on six hits
in 5 2/3 innings. He walked three and fanned six. Baltimore's
Trey Mancini and Anthony Santander hit solo homers in the eighth
inning.
Rays 5, Blue Jays 2
Manuel Margot and Francisco Mejia each had RBI singles in the
eighth inning and Brandon Lowe followed with a run-scoring
triple as Tampa Bay defeated Toronto at St. Petersburg, Fla.
The Blue Jays took their fourth straight loss, spoiling a strong
effort by starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (3-2), who was charged
with four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk. Gausman
struck out eight.
Margot, who missed the previous two games with a hamstring
injury, broke a 2-2 tie when his line drive between shortstop
and third base drove in pinch runner Vidal Brujan. It was
Margo's 14th RBI in May.
Phillies 12, Dodgers 10 (10)
Nick Castellanos hit a two-run double in the 10th inning and
drove in three runs as visiting Philadelphia outlasted Los
Angeles.
Bryce Harper had a home run among his three hits, Bryson Stott
had three RBIs and Kyle Schwarber added a home run as
Philadelphia improved to 4-1 on a seven-game West Coast road
trip that began with a series in Seattle.
Justin Turner hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning for the
Dodgers to send the game into extra innings, and he drove in
four runs. Chris Taylor also homered and Austin Barnes had three
hits for Los Angeles, which has lost three consecutive games for
the first time this season.
Padres 11, Braves 6
Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run homer to help visiting San Diego
rally past Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series.
The Braves scored four times in the sixth inning to take a 6-4
lead, but Kim belted a 2-0 fastball from reliever Will Smith in
the seventh to put the Padres back on top. San Diego put it away
with four runs in the ninth, three of those coming on a
pinch-hit double by Trent Grisham.
The winning pitcher was Luis Garcia (1-2), who tossed one
scoreless inning. Taylor Rogers got four outs for his 13th save.
Smith (0-1) took the loss after yielding three runs in his lone
inning.
Twins 12, Guardians 8
Royce Lewis hit a grand slam for his first career home run and
three other Twins homered to power Minnesota to a win over
Cleveland in Minneapolis.
Byron Buxton, Jorge Polanco and Gary Sanchez each homered to
join Lewis in the offensive outburst for Minnesota, which
enjoyed its highest-scoring game of the season. Max Kepler added
three hits and two RBIs.
Austin Hedges, Oscar Mercado and Andres Gimenez each homered for
the Guardians. Jose Ramirez finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Giants 8, Cardinals 2
Mike Yastrzemski, Evan Longoria and Curt Casali drove in two
runs each as visiting San Francisco routed St. Louis for its
sixth consecutive victory.
Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (5-1) allowed one run on
three hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out one.
Jordan Hicks (1-3) gave up three runs on three hits and two
walks with three strikeouts in five innings as the Cardinals
lost for the fifth time in six games. Paul Goldschmidt drove in
both Cardinals runs with an RBI grounder and a solo homer while
extending his on-base streak to 20 games.
Reds 8, Pirates 2
Brandon Drury drilled his team-leading seventh homer and drove
in four while Mike Moustakas homered twice to power suddenly hot
Cincinnati over host Pittsburgh.
Cincinnati starter Tyler Mahle (2-4) overcame a leadoff homer to
allow only two runs and five hits, striking out a season-high
eight and walking one for the Reds, who won a season-best third
straight. The Reds have won four of five from the Pirates and
six of their last seven games overall.
Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller (0-5) was charged with five runs
on five hits in 4 2/3 innings, striking out two and walking two,
taking his fifth loss in seven starts this season. Keller fell
to 1-4 lifetime against Cincinnati, with a 7.36 ERA in 10 career
starts.
Yankees 10, White Sox 4
Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, Joey Gallo and Josh Donaldson
homered to back 6 1/3 strong innings from Gerrit Cole, boosting
New York to a win at Chicago.
The Yankees earned their fifth consecutive victory and won for
the 17th time in 19 games overall. Cole (3-0) scattered three
runs on six hits and one walk while striking out nine.
Gavin Sheets homered for the White Sox, who have been outscored
25-11 in the first two games of the series.
Astros 6, Nationals 1
Houston belted three early home runs and rode a strong starting
pitching effort from Framber Valdez to win its 11th game in a
row by beating host Washington in the opener of a three-game
series.
Jose Altuve's solo shot and Yuli Gurriel's two-run blast came in
a five-run first inning. Yordan Alvarez homered in the third.
Washington lost for the fourth time in its last five games. The
Nationals didn't score until the seventh inning on Alcides
Escobar's fielder's choice grounder. That scoring chance stemmed
from Keibert Ruiz's leadoff walk.
Diamondbacks 4, Cubs 3
Ketel Marte went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI and Josh
Rojas scored what proved to be the winning run in the fourth
inning on a wild pitch to lead Arizona past Chicago in Phoenix.
Geraldo Perdomo also had three hits for the Diamondbacks, who
entered the game batting .199 but finished with a season-high 12
hits. Zach Davies (2-1) picked up the win, allowing three runs
on four hits over 5 2/3 innings, and Mark Melancon pitched a
1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save.
Ildemaro Vargas had a two-run triple and Frank Schwindel added
two hits for the Cubs, who lost for the seventh time in nine
games. Drew Smyly (1-4) gave up four runs on 10 hits over six
innings.
