Urías gets better of Mariners, Gonzales
SEATTLE — Julio Urías threw seven dominant innings of one-hit ball, striking out a career-high 11 and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners
Dodgers
Mariners 1 0
on Tuesday.
Corey Seager drove in the only run with a two-out single in the third inning after AJ Pollock’s leadoff double. Those were the Dodgers’ only hits in the game.
Seattle’s lone hit against Urías (3-0) was Mitch Haniger’s slow infield single with two outs in the third inning. Victor González worked the eighth, and Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save to complete the one-hittter.
Gonzales (1-2) allowed two hits and struck out six. He retired the final 13 batters he faced.
ATHLETICS 7, TWINS 0
In Oakland, Calif., Matt Olson hit a grand slam, Mitch Moreland homered twice to back Sean Manaea’s shutout and the Athletics slugged past depleted Minnesota in the first game of a doubleheader for its ninth straight victory.
Moreland connected for a two-run homer in the second inning and a solo drive in the fourth off Matt Shoemaker (1-1).
The left-handed Manaea (2-1) allowed six hits, struck out seven and walked one over seven innings, throwing 95 pitches for his second career complete game and shutout — he no-hit the Red Sox at home on April 21, 2018.
Olson made it 7-0 with his fourth-inning slam through a blustery wind.
YANKEES 3, BRAVES 1
In New York, the Yankees broke their five-game losing streak with little offense, getting a run-scoring wild pitch and bases-loaded walk from Atlanta reliever Nate Jones in the eighth inning.
Gio Urshela hit a tying home run in the fifth inning off Charlie Morton and the Yankees won with five hits, which left their four-game total at 16. New York went 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position, but the last-place Yankees improved to 6-10 and avoided what would have been their worst start since 1972.
Tyler Matzek (0-2), who returned to the major leagues last year for the first time since 2015, walked pinch-hitter Aaron Hicks leading off the eighth and DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge followed with singles that loaded the bases.
Jones relieved and bounced a slider past catcher Travis d’Arnaud for a wild pitch that scored Hicks for a 2-1 lead.
WHITE SOX 8, INDIANS 5
In Cleveland, Carlos Rodón followed up his no-hitter by hanging around for five shaky innings to beat the Indians for the second time in a week, and José Abreu homered twice for Chicago.
Rodón (3-0) worked around five walks, giving up a homer and throwing 110 pitches — only four fewer than in his gem on April 14. The left-hander gave up two runs and three hits.
Abreu hit solo homers in the fourth and seventh innings.
Tim Anderson connected for a two-run homer off Zach Plesac (1-3) and Yasmani Grandal’s two-run shot in the seventh put the White Sox ahead 7-2.
NATIONALS 3, CARDINALS 2
In Washington, Yan Gomes drew a four-pitch walk from Giovanny Gallegos to force in the go-ahead run in an odd eighth inning that also featured St. Louis deploying a five-man infield, and the Nationals rallied to win.
St. Louis led 2-1 entering the eighth. But Gallegos (2-1) walked a batter, then hit one, before Trea Turner’s RBI single to right on an 0-2 count tied the game. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt followed with some creative defensive alignments, but it didn’t matter much because Starlin Castro struck out looking with the bases loaded before Gomes’ go-ahead walk.
Daniel Hudson (2-0) threw a perfect eighth for the win, and Brad Hand pitched the ninth for his second save in two chances with Washington. Nationals starter Patrick Corbin pitched six scoreless innings.
GIANTS 10, PHILLIES 7
In Philadelphia, Buster Posey had his first multi-homer game in nearly five years, Alex Dickerson and Wilmer Flores connected during a six-run eighth inning and San Francisco muscled past the Phillies.
Tommy La Stella also homered for San Francisco, which got all of its runs via the long ball.
Dickerson’s three-run shot off reliever Connor Brogdon (3-1) allowed the Giants to grab their first lead of the game at 7-6. Flores followed four hitters later with another three-run homer off Brogdon.
RED SOX 4, BLUE JAYS 2
In Boston, Xander Bogaerts hit a threerun home run to back Eduardo Rodríguez in his first start at Fenway Park since 2019, and the Red Sox beat Toronto.
Rodríguez (3-0), who missed last season due to COVID-19 complications, allowed two runs on three hits over six innings and struck out six for AL East-leading Boston.
Matt Andriese, Adam Ottavino and Matt Barnes each worked a scoreless inning in relief. Barnes earned his third save.
ORIOLES 7, MARLINS 5
In Miami, Trey Mancini and Freddy Galvis each hit a solo homer in the third inning, and Baltimore beat the Marlins.
Matt Harvey (1-1) allowed three runs in five innings for his first win since July 13, 2019, with the Angels. César Valdez retired all four batters he faced for his fourth save, and Baltimore won despite being outhit 11-9.
Orioles right fielder Anthony Santander had to be helped to the clubhouse after he sprained his left ankle in the first inning.
CUBS 3, METS 1
In Chicago, Jake Arrieta pitched five effective innings, Craig Kimbrel escaped a jam in the ninth and the Cubs beat New York.
Arrieta allowed one run and three hits, struck out four and walked three. Wearing short sleeves on a cool, clear night — the game-time temperature was 36 degrees — Arrieta (3-1) also contributed to two runs at the plate.
Eric Sogard had two hits, scored twice and drove in a run for the Cubs.
DIAMONDBACKS 5, REDS 4 (8 INNINGS, SUSPENDED)
In Cincinnati, Reds reliever Lucas Sims walked in a run to give Arizona a 5-4 lead over Cincinnati in the top of the eighth inning before the game was suspended because of rain.
Play was called for the night just before the rain turned into snow at Great American Ball Park. It will resume before the teams play their regularly scheduled game on Wednesday night. Both will be regulation nine-inning games.
