AROUND THE HORN

Red Sox: Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs in a 10-3 victory over the Orioles that pushed the Red Sox to 12-2, the best start in their 118-year history. J.D. Martinez hit a solo home run, and Andrew Benintendi drove in three. Marcus Walden pitched the final three innings for his first save.

Cardinals: Greg Garcia homered twice for the first time in his career, powering a 6-1 victory that gave the Reds the worst record in MLB at 2-12. The last time the Reds opened a season so badly was in 1931, when they lost 17 of 19. The Cards have won a season-high three in a row and have scored 24 runs and hit eight homers in the last three games.

Angels: Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Luis Valbuena homered as the Angels won their seventh straight, beating the Royals 5-3. Trout leads the AL with six homers. The Royals have lost five straight. The Angels will start Shohei Ohtani on Sunday.

Nationals: Max Scherzer struck out 11 and retired his final 20 batters as the Nats ended a three-game skid by beating the Rockies 6-2. Scherzer (3-1) issued a one-out walk in the first, and Charlie Blackmon followed with a home run. That was all the Rockies managed against Scherzer, who struck out the next five batters and left after seven innings. He has struck out at least 10 in three of his four starts.

Phillies: Jake Arrieta got his first win as a Phillie and J.P. Crawford and Scott Kingery drove in two runs each in a 9-4 victory over the Rays. Arrieta gave up three runs on seven hits in 6 2 ⁄ innings in the Phils’ fifth 3 straight win. Crawford homered and doubled. Chris Archer allowed seven runs on eight hits in four innings.

Rangers: Ronald Guzman’s first career home run tied it before he put the his team ahead with an infield single in the 10th as the Rangers rallied from five runs down to beat the Astros 6-5. Joey Gallo hit a two-run homer for the Rangers, who snapped a five-game losing streak. The Astros have lost three of four.
