Dodgers: All-Star closer Kenley Jansen may not travel with the Dodgers for their weekend series against the NL West rival Rockies because of his ongoing problems with an irregular heartbeat, MLB.com reported. High elevations can exacerbate an irregular heartbeat, and Jansen had issues with his heart in 2012 and this season while playing in Denver. Jansen spent 11 days last month on the DL with a recurrence of his irregular heartbeat. He had surgery to correct the issue in 2012 and expects to have surgery again after this season.

Rockies: Pinch-hitter Noel Cuevas hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth and the Rockies beat the Giants 9-8 after squanderin­g a 7-2 lead. Trevor Story hit two HRs to help give the Rockies what seemed like a commanding advantage. The win kicked off 10 straight home games against NL West foes for the Rockies, who began the day a half-game behind the divisionle­ading Dodgers.

Brewers: Christian Yelich drove in the winning run with the bases loaded in the ninth and the Brewers beat the Cubs 4-3. With the home victory, the Brewers pulled within four games of the NL Central-leading Cubs.

Red Sox: Ian Kinsler drove in three runs and the visiting Red Sox continued their interleagu­e success, beating the Braves 8-2 in a matchup of East division leaders. The Red Sox have won23 of their last 27 games against NL teams. ... INF Brandon Phillips, 37, will be recalled from Triple A on Tuesday.

Astros: Alex Bregman homered for the third straight game and LHP Dallas Keuchel allowed just five hits and one unearned run in six innings as the host Astros beat the Twins 4-1 for their third straight victory.

Indians: 3B Josh Donaldson was placed on the DL so he can continue rehabbing a calf injury in the minors. The 2015 AL MVP, who was acquired Friday in a trade with Blue Jays, has appeared in 36 games this season. Donaldson hit a grand slam Monday for Triple-A Columbus.
