WASHINGTON » Patrick Corbin ended his 10-game losing streak, pitching seven solid innings and leading Washington to a 7-2 win over Miami on Saturday.

Josh Bell hit a bases-loaded double and drove in four runs, Yan Gomes had a two-run homer and Josh Harrison had three hits as Washington won its third in a row.

Corbin (1-3), who opened the season on the COVID-19 injured list, began the afternoon with a 10.47 ERA in four starts. He limited the Marlins to two runs and four hits and posted his first win since last August.

Jesús Aguilar hit a solo home run for Miami, his sixth shot over his last eight games. Paul Campbell (0-2) made his first major league start after four relief appearance­s.

WHITE SOX 7, INDIANS 3» Tim Anderson hit a grand slam, Leury García drove in three runs from the No. 9 spot in the lineup and Chicago beat Cleveland. CUBS 3, REDS 2 » Nico Hoerner hit a goahead single in the sixth inning and Chicago’s bullpen shut down Cincinnati.

Hoerner drove in Javier Báez with one of his three hits, a two-out single off reliever Sean Doolittle to complete the Cubs’ comeback from a 2-0 deficit. ROYALS 11, TWINS 3 » Andrew Benintendi hit two homers, Salvador Perez homered and drove in three runs, and Kansas City cruised past Minnesota.

Danny Duffy (4-1) continued his strong start to the season in helping the AL Central-leading Royals bounce back from Friday night’s 9-1 loss. He allowed one run and two hits in seven innings, striking out seven and exiting with an 0.60 ERA.

ASTROS 3, RAYS 1 » Jose Urquidy scattered four hits over seven shutout innings and Houston made an early lead stand up.

ORIOLES 8, ATHLETICS 4» Matt Harvey won his third straight start and Baltimore took advantage of Oakland’s sloppy play to score six runs in the third inning.
