AROUND THE HORN

Diamondbacks: Luke Weaver retired the first 17 batters he faced, Eduardo Escobar homered for the fourth straight game and the Diamondbacks beat the visiting Reds 7-0 on Sunday. The 27-year-old Weaver (1-0) took a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up a broken-bat single to Eugenio Suárez, whose ground ball found a hole up the middle. The righthander hit Alex Blandino with a pitch with two outs in the sixth, the first of three baserunners he allowed. Weaver struck out eight in seven innings. Rookie Matt Peacock pitched the final two innings to complete the two-hitter. The Reds came into the game hitting an MLB-best .312.

Red Sox: J.D. Martinez came off the COVID-19 list and hit three HRs, powering the visiting Red Sox past the Orioles 14-9 for their sixth straight win. Martinez got a chance at a record-tying fourth HR in the ninth and struck out swinging. He’s actually the last of 18 major leaguers to HR four times in a game, doing it in September 2017 for Arizona. The 33-year-old Martinez was back in the lineup one day after being placed on the COVID list because of cold symptoms. He passed the required tests and went 4-for-6, driving in four runs and scoring four times. This was the fourth time that Martinez has hit at least three HRs in a game.

Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw pitched six innings of five-hit ball to win an outstanding duel with Max Scherzer, and the Dodgers swept three games from the Nationals with a 3-0 victory. Rookie Zach McKinstry homered and drove in all three runs for the defending World Series champs, who are off to a major league-best start of 8-2 despite playing this series without injured former MVP OFs Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger. Kershaw (2-1) struck out six with no walks in his first home start since winning his first World Series ring. Scherzer (0-1) was just as good, pitching six innings of three-hit ball with five strikeouts and a walk.

Padres: Trent Grisham and Manny Machado homered, Craig Stammen led a parade of six effective relievers after starter Adrian Morejon left early with an injury, and the Padres beat the host Rangers 2-0 for a three-game sweep. The 22-year-old Morejon retired the first two batters and walked Joey Gallo before departing with an elbow/ forearm strain. He will be re-evaluated Monday. Two of the wins in the series were shutouts. On Friday night, Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in Padres history.

Tigers: Miguel Cabrera was placed on the 10-day IL with a left biceps strain that has been bothering him during the early part of the season. Cabrera played first base in Saturday’s 11-3 loss to the Indians. He went 0-for-3 before he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the ninth. Cabrera, 37, an 11-time All-Star who has 488 career HRs, is off to a slow start this season. He’s batting just .125 (3-for-24) with one HR and three RBI in seven games.

Extra innings: Anthony DeSclafani and three relievers combined to scatter eight hits and the Giants beat the visiting Rockies 4-0 to complete a three-game sweep. DeSclafani (1-0) struck out eight and gave up six hits in six innings. The Giants have won four straight . ... Kyle Seager hit his second HR of the game, a three-run drive in the ninth, to cap the Mariners’ 8-6 comeback win over the host Twins 8-6. Seager had four hits. The Mariners trailed 6-0 going into the sixth.
