Two runs enough for Nats to beat Dodgers
CJ Abrams homered in the first at-bat of the game and the Washington Nationals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 on Wednesday to take the series at Dodger Stadium.
Nationals starter Jake Irvin (1-1) threw six scoreless innings to get his first win of the season and gave up just four hits.
Landon Knack (0-1) made his major league debut for the Dodgers.
Abrams smacked his second pitch of the game to right center field for his third career leadoff home run. Joey Meneses hit a sacrifice fly to score a run for a 2-0 lead also in the first.
Knack settled down after that first inning and retired the next 12 batters. He allowed those two earned runs on four hits, struck out four and walked one.
After a five-hit game the day before, Mookie Betts was 0 for 4.
ORIOLES 4, TWINS 2 >> Cedric Mullins hit a tworun homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Baltimore a victory over Minnesota and a three-game sweep.
Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander also went deep for the Orioles, their fifth straight game with at least three home runs.
With one on and one out, Mullins hit a drive to right field off Griffin Jax (1-2) for his fifth homer of the year.
MARINERS 5, REDS 1 >> Bryce Miller and three relievers combined on a one-hitter, Cal Raleigh, Mitch Garver and Josh Rojas all hit solo homers, and Seattle beat Cincinnati to complete a three-game home sweep.
Miller (3-1) continued his brilliant stretch of pitching with the lone hit he allowed becoming the only earned run scored against him in his last three starts. Miller gave up a solo home run to Elly De La Cruz in the second, but was otherwise untouchable over six innings. BREWERS 1, PADRES 0 >> Blake Perkins hit a single in the eighth to crack a scoreless game and lead Milwaukee at home over San Diego.
The hit spoiled a stellar start by Padres right-hander Michael King (2-1), who pitched a no-hitter through 6 2/3 innings. King went 7 2/3 innings, struck out 10 and walked two. YANKEES 6, BLUE JAYS 4 >> Aaron Judge broke a 4-all tie with a two-run single in the ninth inning, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton hit solo home runs and visiting New York rallied to defeat Toronto.
Daulton Varsho hit two home runs for the Blue Jays, whose four-game winning streak was snapped.
BRAVES 5, ASTROS 4 (10) >> Marcell Ozuna hit his eighth homer and Orlando Arcia's RBI single in the top of the 10th inning lifted Atlanta over Houston.
It completes a three-game sweep of the struggling Astros and is Atlanta's fourth straight victory.
VERLANDER SET FOR SEASON DEBUT >> Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander will make his season debut Friday at the Washington Nationals.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner opened the season on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder. He made two rehabilitation starts.
PADRES' DARVISH ON IL >> The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Yu Darvish on the 15-day injured list with neck tightness.
Darvish, 37, is 0-1 with a 4.18 ERA in five starts this season.
