Padres’ Musgrove throws no-hitter
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove pitched the first no-hitter in the history of his hometown team, allowing only one baserunner in a 3-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
The Padres were the only active MLB franchise without a no-hitter, and it came in their 8,206th regular-season game.
In only his second start for San Diego, Musgrove (2-0), a Tri-city Valleycat in 2014, struck out 10 and faced 28 batters, one over the minimum.
Giants 3, Rockies 1: Johnny Cueto got within an out of a complete game, Brandon Crawford broke up a scoreless tie with a bases-loaded, two-run double in the seventh inning, and San Francisco won its home opener.
Dodgers 1, Nationals 0: Justin Turner homered in the sixth inning, and Los Angeles celebrated its World Series ring ceremony day with a victory.
Braves 8, Phillies 1: Ronald Acuna Jr. had four hits, including a long two-run homer that gave Atlanta the lead, and made a leaping catch to support Charlie Morton’s six strong innings.
Indians 4, Tigers 1: Franmil Reyes homered twice and Zach Plesac pitched seven dominant innings to give Cleveland a win over Detroit.
Angels 7, Blue Jays 1: Shohei Ohtani homered and drove in four runs and Andrew Heaney pitched six scoreless innings for Los Angeles.
Athletics 6, Astros 2: Matt Olson’s tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning lifted Oakland.
