Clayton Kershaw (6-2) held Colorado to four hits and a run over seven strong innings to lead Los Angeles to a win at Denver. Chris Taylor homered, tripled and drove in three runs for the NL West leaders.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 4: Tyler O'neill hit a two-run double to end a no-hit bid started by Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller, and St. Louis rallied to win at Pittsburgh.

(IL) White Sox 5, Reds 0: Tim Anderson hit two of Chicago's five solo homers, and the White Sox — already guaranteed a playoff spot — took another step toward the AL Central title by overpowering host Cincinnati. The Reds managed six hits as they had their season-high winning streak snapped at six games.
