GAME SUMMARIES

HOME team in caps

Phillies 2, NATIONALS 0: Aaron Nola outdueled Max Scherzer in a meeting of All-Star aces, Odubel Herrera hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and Philadelphia defeated Washington.

RED SOX 7, Indians 0: David Price pitched eight shutout innings for his fifth straight win, backed by three bases-loaded doubles in Boston’s sixrun fifth inning.

TIGERS 7, White Sox 2: Matthew Boyd pitched six scoreless innings and Ronny Rodriguez hit his first career home run to lift Detroit over Chicago. Rodriguez also hit an RBI double, and Nicholas Castellanos and Mikie Mahtook homered off James Shields (5-15).

Giants 3, METS 1: Madison Bumgarner hit an RBI double for the only earned run off Mets ace Jacob deGrom and beat him on the mound, too, pitching San Francisco past the Mets in his first appearance in New York since tossing a four-hit shutout in the 2016 NL wild-card game.

ROCKIES 4, Padres 3: Ian Desmond hit a tworun, two-out homer in the ninth inning, and Colorado beat San Diego in the return of 38year-old outfielder Matt Holliday. Holliday was in Colorado’s starting lineup for the first time in a decade after having his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Braves 5, MARLINS 0: Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 21st home run and got hit by another Miami pitch, though tempers stayed in check this time and the Braves went on to beat the Marlins.

RAYS 4, Royals 3: A throwing error on Kevin Kiermaier’s bases-loaded grounder in the ninth inning helped Tampa Bay complete a four-game sweep by beating Kansas City. Jake Bauers opened the ninth by drawing a walk from Brian Flynn (4-4) and went to third on C.J. Cron’s single.

CUBS 7, Reds 1: Cole Hamels tossed a complete game to continue his dramatic turnaround with the NL Central-leading Cubs, who got home runs from Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez. Hamels (4-0) allowed eight hits, struck out seven and walked two in his 17th career complete game and the first by a Cubs pitcher this season.

TWINS 6, Athletics 4: With a two-run double by pinch-hitter Mitch Garver, Minnesota overtook Oakland starter Trevor Cahill in the fourth inning on their way to a victory.
