Nolan Gorman and Nolan Arenado hit three-run homers and
combined for nine RBIs to power the St. Louis Cardinals past the
visiting Milwaukee Brewers 18-1 on Monday.

with four RBIs. St. Louis' Tommy Edman had four hits and four RBIs,
Lars Nootbaar also scored four times and Paul Goldschmidt added two
hits and two RBIs.
Andrew Knizner hit a grand slam off Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau
in the eighth inning to cap the scoring. Jack Flaherty (3-4) fanned

Freddy Peralta (4-3) allowed six runs on six hits and five walks in
5 1/3 innings for the Brewers, whose three-game winning streak
ended.
Angels 9, Orioles 5
Shohei Ohtani crushed a three-run homer, finished a double away from
hitting for the cycle and picked up the win on the mound as Los
Angeles earned a victory over host Baltimore.
Ohtani went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, three runs and a walk to offset
a night in which he allowed a career-high-tying three homers over
seven innings. The right-hander yielded a season-high-tying five
runs on four hits. Ohtani (5-1) became the first starting pitcher to
reach base five times in a game since the Yankees' Mel Stottlemyre
against the Washington Senators in September 1964.

2-for-4 with two RBIs for the Angels. Adam Frazier and Anthony

victory. He allowed two runs on eight hits. CJ Abrams homered as the
Nationals managed to split the four-game series.

York held on to defeat Toronto.
Willie Calhoun added a two-run home run for the Yankees, who took
the opener of a four-game series for their sixth win in eight games.

Jhony Brito (3-3) replaced Cordero in the third and allowed four
runs (two earned) and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Blue Jays starter
Alek Manoah (1-4) allowed five runs, six hits and a career-high
seven walks in four-plus innings.
Braves 12, Rangers 0
Atlanta ripped five two-run home runs as they cruised to victory in
Arlington, Texas.
Kevin Pillar and Ronald Acuna Jr. had two-run shots in the second
inning, Orlando Arcia added one in the sixth, Austin Riley followed
with one in the seventh and Marcell Ozuna capped the two-run homer
party with his own in the ninth.
Those long balls, coupled with a strong start by right-hander
Charlie Morton, helped the Braves end a four-game losing streak and
spoil Cody Bradford's major league debut. Bradford allowed six runs
on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts over five innings.
Astros 6, Cubs 4
Alex Bregman broke a tie with a two-out, two-run home run in the

scoreless innings. The quintet totaled eight strikeouts, and Neris
tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save.

touched Framber Valdez for four runs in the fourth. Chicago got a
sacrifice fly from Yan Gomes and a three-run homer from Christopher
Morel to tie the game.

of the plate in a game at Fenway Park as Seattle cruised past
