RANGERS 13, Astros 2: Adolis García hit the first grand slam by a Texas batter in almost two years and DJ Peters had a massive homer while driving in three runs as the rebuilding Rangers avoided being swept by Houston again, beating the AL West-leading Astros 13-2 in the series finale Sunday.
Rockies 5, DODGERS 0: Antonio Senzatela pitched seven sparkling innings, C.J. Cron slugged a three-run homer and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 on Sunday, taking two of three from the defending World Series champions.
MARINERS 4, Royals 3: Salvador Perez homered for the fifth consecutive game, but Kyle Seager connected for a two-run drive to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Sunday. Seager hit his career-high 31st homer in the seventh inning.
