Brewers 5, Cardinals 4: Lyle Overbay singled in Khris Davis with the tiebreakin­g run as visiting Milwaukee beat St. Louis in extra innings for the second night in a row, winning in 11 innings. Milwaukee is a major league-best 207, two more victories than the previous franchise best for the opening month.

Marlins 9, Braves 0: Jose Fernandez (4-1) allowed two hits in eight stellar innings and Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer as Miami opened a homestand by beating Atlanta. Jarrod Saltalamac­chia also homered for Miami, which had its third-highest run output of the season.

Reds 3, Cubs 2: Billy Hamilton hit his first career homer, and Chris Heisey singled home the tiebreakin­g run in the bottom of the sixth, sending host Cincinnati past Chicago in a game delayed three times because of rain.

Mets 6, Phillies 1: Jonathon Niese pitched seven steady innings on a rainy night and Daniel Murphy had three hits to lead surprising New York to a victory in Philadelph­ia. Ruben Tejada doubled and had two RBIs for the Mets, who have won seven of nine.

Interleagu­e

Nationals 4, Astros 3: Adam LaRoche hit a tying double in the eighth and a go-ahead single in the ninth that lifted visiting Washington past Houston. Jayson Werth homered as the Nationals won the opener of the interleagu­e series. Tyler Clippard (2-2) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win.

Tuesday’s games

Mariners 6, Yankees 3: Robinson Cano drove in a run and scored another in a most unwelcome return to Yankee Stadium, helping Seattle beat New York or its fourth win in five games. Amid lusty boos from a modest crowd on a rainy, 46-degree night, Cano began his first game in the Bronx since joining Seattle this winter for $240 million.

Royals 10, Blue Jays 7: Salvador Perez homered and drove in four runs as Kansas City rallied for a victory against visiting Toronto. Perez’s two-run double off Sergio Santos in the Royals’ six-run eighth put the Royals ahead.

Tigers 4, White Sox 3: Bryan Holaday bunted home Austin Jackson with two out in the ninth to lift visiting Detroit to a win against Chicago. Jackson lined a long drive to right off Ronald Belisario and reached third when the ball was misplayed for an error by Dayan Viciedo.

Athletics 9, Rangers 3: Derek Norris drove in three runs with a pair of doubles and Scott Kazmir outpitched Martin Perez as visiting Oakland beat Texas. The A’s went ahead to stay on Norris’ two-run double in the first off Perez (4-1), who had pitched 26 consecutiv­e scoreless innings.

Red Sox 7, Rays 4: Shane Victorino had four hits and his first two RBIs of the season, and John Lackey pitched eight strong innings as Boston beat slumping Tampa Bay on a chilly night at Fenway Park. Victorino finished 4 for 4 to hike his batting average from .133 to .316.
