Heart procedure sidelines Bochy
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy had a minor heart procedure Monday in San Diego and will miss the team’s two- game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Bench coach RonWotus will manage in his place.
The Giants said Bochy, 62, had been complaining of discomfort and had a procedure called an ablation to fix his heart- rhythm problems. He is resting at home and is expected to rejoin the team Friday.
‘‘ All good. Ready to roll,’’ Bochy said in a text message to the Associated Press.
Bochy previously had a heart procedure to insert two stents in February 2015.

Wei- Yin Chen ( 2- 0) didn’t allow a hit in seven innings before giving way to Brad Ziegler, who pitched a hitless eighth. Barraclough got the first out of the ninth before Haniger’s hit, then retired the next two batters to complete the one- hitter.
Reds 9, Orioles 3

Arroyo ( 1- 2) allowed three runs in five innings to notch his first victory since June 15, 2014, when he was pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks. That was his last appearance before elbow and shoulder injuries kept him out of the majors until this month.
