DETROIT — Justin Verlander allowed one hit over eight innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-0 on Wednesday night.

Josh Bell ended Verlander’s attempt at a third career no-hitter in the sixth inning with a grounder off the glove of a diving Nicholas Castellanos at third base.

Robinson Cano had two hits and scored twice while Ben Gamel singled and made another sparkling defensive play to help Seattle to its fourth win in five games. Cesar Puello singled in the go-ahead run and C.J. Cron added a tworun homer to lead Los Angeles to a victory over Baltimore. Madison Bumgarner allowed four hits over seven innings to win for the second time since returning from a dirt bike accident, helping San Francisco defeat Chicago and complete a winning homestand for only the second time this season.

Ryan Zimmerman had four run-scoring hits, including two solo home runs, drove in five runs and became the franchise’s all-time RBI leader as Washington defeated Miami.
