AROUND THE HORN

Yankees: Alex Rodriguez has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right hamstring. The injury occurred Tuesday night while Rodriguez was running out a grounder in the fifth inning of a loss to the Orioles.

The Yankees recalled LHP James Pazoa from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.

Cubs: Anthony Rizzo had three hits in the Cubs’ 6-2 win over the Pirates and completed the three-game series sweep with seven hits, including five doubles and a home run.

Mets: Steven Matz allowed two hits over 72⁄3 innings in his latest stellar start, and Lucas Duda hit two home runs as the Mets beat the Braves 8-0 to win their sixth consecutive series, their most since 2006. Matz has a 0.67 ERA over his last four outings. Angels: Mike Trout had an RBI triple and sparked a four-run eighth inning with a solo homer as the Angels avoided a three game sweep by beating the Brewers 7-3. Trout, a four-time All-Star, has 18 RBIs in his last 13 games after starting the season

5-for-27.

Mariners: Dae-Ho Lee hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh in his first multihomer game, and the Mariners rallied for a 9-8 win over the Athletics that completed their first series sweep of 2016. The Mariners had a season-high 16 hits and improved to an American Leaguebest 11-4 on the road.

Rockies: Tyler Chatwood pitched three-hit ball for eight innings in his sixth start since returning from Tommy John surgery and Jake McGee threw a perfect ninth for his seventh save as the Rockies beat the Padres 2-0. The shutout was the eighth suffered by the Padres in 28 games this season.
