SUNDAY’S RESULTS

-

Indians 9, Royals 2: More than a year since being stricken with leukemia, Carlos Carrasco (1-0) struck out 10 in six-plus innings to help Cleveland take two of three at home in the delayed season-opening series.

Orioles 7, Red Sox 4: Rio Ruiz and Anthony Santander each hit a two-run homer, powering Baltimore to the road win. Christian Vazquez and Kevin Pillar homered for Boston.

Rays 6, Blue Jays (10): Kevin Kiermaier’s first hit of the season, a two-run triple into the right field corner in the 10th inning, gave Tampa Bay the home win.

Rockies 5, Rangers 2 (IL): Trevor Story homered twice for visiting Colorado after Corey Kluber left his Texas debut with shoulder tightness. Kluber, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Cleveland, lasted just one inning and 18 pitches in his first start in almost 15 months.

Twins 14, White Sox 2: Nelson Cruz homered twice and drove in seven runs, helping Kenta Maeda (1-0) win his debut with visiting Minnesota. Cruz finished with four hits and scored four times. He went 7-for-13 with 10 RBIS and three home runs in the opening series. Highly touted rookie Luis Robert hit his first career homer for Chicago.

Mariners 7, Astros 6: Houston surrendere­d a tiebreakin­g two-run single to rookie Kyle Lewis in the eighth inning of a loss to visiting Seattle, and then announced ace Justin Verlander will be shut down for at least two weeks with a strained right forearm. Athletics 6, Angels 4: Shohei Ohtani (0-1) failed to record an out in the two-way star’s return to the mound, allowing the first six Oakland batters to reach base in the road loss.
