AROUND THE HORN

Christian Yelich homered and Keon Broxton had an RBI triple, both off Clayton Kershaw, in a 4-2 win over the Dodgers that ended a sevengame losing streak. Josh Hader received an ovation a day after apologizing again for years-old offensive tweets, then worked two scoreless innings. Manny Machado went 1-for-5.

George Springer hit a grand slam and Justin Verlander ended his six-start winless streak with 11 strikeouts over six innings of a 7-0 shutout of the Angels. Verlander allowed five hits as his ERA dropped to 2.19. Shohei Ohtani doubled twice as the Angels dropped below .500 for the first time since the opener.

Jose Iglesias homered and drove in four runs and Mike Fiers struck out six in 61⁄3 innings of a 5-0 shutout of the Red Sox. In his first scoreless outing since April 8, Fiers allowed seven hits and three walks. Mookie Betts’ two hits raised his MLB-best average to .355 as the Red Sox lost for the second time in 15 games.

Sonny Gray won consecutive starts for the first time since the Yankees acquired him last summer, holding down the Mets 7-6. Gray allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks in 5 ⁄ innings. Aaron Judge homered for the Yankees, who survived a wild ninth as Aroldis Chapman forced in two runs and failed to get an out.

Marcus Stroman allowed one run on five hits in seven innings in a 4-1 victory over the Orioles. A day after getting four hits, Aledmys Diaz went 2-for-3. RHP Alex Cobb picked up his major-league-worst 13th loss as the Orioles dropped to 1-8 against the Jays this season.

Ben Zobrist went 4-for-4 and scored twice as the NL leaders beat the Cardinals 7-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. Javier Baez had three hits and two RBIs, and Tommy La Stella drove in a pair. Tyler Chatwood got his first win in two months, allowing only Matt Carpenter’s home run in 51⁄3 innings — though he did walk six and hit a batter.
