The slump stopper
the two-time All-Star got him to hit into an inning-ending double play in the fifth.
Both Rockies runs scored in the fifth after Tony Wolters knocked the ball out of Giants second baseman Joe Panik’s glove on his way to second on a weak grounder off pinch hitter Stephen Cardullo’s bat with the bases loaded.
BRAVES 5, PADRES 2 ATLANTA – Ender Inciarte hit the first home run in baseball’s newest stadium, local product Nick Markakis drove in the first two runs and the Braves beat the Padres in the regularseason debut for SunTrust Park.
Before a sellout crowd of 41,149 that included former President Jimmy Carter, Commissioner Rob Manfred and one-time home run king Hank Aaron, the Braves won their second straight game after a 1-6 start.
YANKEES 4, CARDINALS 3 NEW YORK – Masahiro Tanaka pitched into the seventh inning, Aroldis Chapman escaped his own jam for his third save in three days and the Yankees earned their fifth straight win.

ORIOLES 6, BLUE JAYS 4 TORONTO – Home plate umpire Dale Scott sustained a concussion when he was hit in the face mask by a foul tip from Baltimore slugger Mark Trumbo, casting a shadow over the Orioles’ victory.
Scott recoiled after the ball struck the bottom of his mask and staggered backward before going down on one knee in the eighth inning. Once his neck was immobilized on a spinal board, Scott was lifted onto a cart and driven off the field.
The Blue Jays relayed information from Major League Baseball that Scott would miss the rest of the series.
RAYS 10, RED SOX 5 BOSTON – Logan Morrison hit a grand slam for Tampa Bay and Shane Peterson homered in his first big league at-bat since 2015, two of the career-high four homers allowed by Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello.

MARLINS 3, METS 2 MIAMI – J.T. Realmuto hit a game-ending RBI double with two out in the ninth inning, and the Marlins snapped the Mets’ five-game win streak.

TIGERS 7, INDIANS 6 CLEVELAND – Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning after being brushed back in the first, and the Tigers handed the Indians their sixth loss in seven games.

ROYALS 7, ANGELS 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Danny Duffy pitched seven innings for Kansas City, and Mike Moustakas hit a two-run homer.
Duffy (2-0) gave up a run on a Mike Trout first-inning single, but retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced. He improved to 8-0 in his past 16 Kauffman Stadium starts.
WHITE SOX 2, TWINS 1 MINNEAPOLIS – Dylan Covey allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning of his big league debut and Matt Davidson hit a solo home run in the seventh, lifting the White Sox to the road win.

BREWERS 10, REDS 4 CINCINNATI – Eric Thames homered for the second straight night and drove in three runs, helping Milwaukee to its fourth straight victory.
Thames’ third home run of the season capped Milwaukee’s four-run sixth inning against a Cincinnati bullpen that went into the game with a National League-best 1.13 ERA.
PIRATES 4, CUBS 2 CHICAGO – David Freese and Francisco Cervelli each drove in two runs, and the Pirates stopped a four-game skid.

NATIONALS 3, PHILLIES 2, 10 innings WASHINGTON – Daniel Murphy hit a game-ending RBI double, sending Washington to the win.

DODGERS 7, DIAMONDBACKS 1 LOS ANGELES – Clayton Kershaw outpitched former teammate Zack Greinke and Andrew Toles hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers.
Kershaw (2-1) allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in 8 ⁄ innings. The lefthander lost his bid for a shutout when Chris Owings doubled in a run in the ninth.
MARINERS 2, RANGERS 1 SEATTLE – Felix Hernandez pitched 7 ⁄ strong innings and Mitch Haniger settled for a tiebreaking RBI single instead of an apparent home run for the Mariners.
