AROUND THE HORN

-

Corey Kluber pitched a three-hitter for his first shutout this season, and new arrival Leonys Martin homered again in a 3-0 victory over the Angels. It was the seventh career shutout for Kluber, who struck out seven. The AL Central-leading Indians got only four hits but notched their 60th win. Angels starter Felix Pena carried a no-hitter into the sixth before Martin’s home run. The Angels were again without All-Star OF Mike Trout, who missed his third straight game with a sore right wrist.

Kevin Gausman was outpitched in his Braves debut by a blossoming Zack Wheeler, and the Mets ended the Braves’ fivegame winning streak 3-0. Rookie 2B Jeff McNeil went 4-for-4, and Austin Jackson had an RBI infield single as the Mets halted a four-game skid. Wheeler struck out nine in seven innings of three-hit ball. Gausman allowed three runs in five-plus innings.

Carlos Santana had three hits, including one of the Phillies’ four home runs, and Zach Eflin allowed three runs in eight innings of a 8-3 victory over the Marlins. Cesar Hernandez, Nick Williams and Asdrubal Cabrera also went deep for the Phillies, who won their fourth straight to move 11⁄2 games ahead of the Braves for first in the NL East. The Marlins’ skid hit five.

Bryce Harper left in the sixth inning of a double- header split with the Reds after being hit by a pitch in the right knee. Harper had two hits in the first game, extending his streak to four consecutiv­e games with at least two hits, before going 0for-3 in the nightcap. The Reds won the opener 7-1, while the Nats took the second game 6-2.

Travis Shaw hit a grand slam during a six-run first inning in an 8-4 win over the Rockies. The Brewers won for the fourth time in six games stayed one back of the NL Central-leading Cubs. Rookie Freddy Peralta struck out eight in six innings of two-hit, two-run ball. Trevor Story hit two tworun homers for the Rockies, who have dropped five of six.
