Urías gets better of Mariners in Dodgers win

-

— Julio Urías threw seven dominant innings of one-hit ball, striking out a careerhigh 11 and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Seattle Mariners 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.

ANGELS 6, RANGERS 2

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani pitched four rollercoas­ter scoreless innings, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols homered and Los Angeles defeated Texas.

Kurt Suzuki also went deep for the Angels, who have won six of their nine home games.

Ohtani took the mound for the first time since April 4 after dealing with a blister issue on the middle finger of his throwing hand. The right-hander allowed only one hit but was the first starting pitcher since at least 1901 to toss four shutout innings with at least six walks and seven strikeouts.

Ohtani — who was on a pitch limit — threw 80 in all and was never able to retire Texas in order. But he was effective when needed. Nick Solak homered for the Rangers. Jordan Lyles (0-2) permitted three runs in six innings.

BREWERS 6, PADRES 0

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Corbin Burnes struck out 10 in six spotless innings, extending his dominant start to the season, and Milwaukee blanked shorthande­d San Diego.

Billy McKinney homered to spark a five-run third against Chris Paddack (1-2) that included a two-run double by Travis Shaw and a two-run single from Omar Narváez. McKinney also made a diving catch in left field that likely saved two runs.

Jace Peterson went deep in the ninth against his original team.

Burnes (2-1), a Southern California native, lowered his ERA to a miniscule 0.37. He gave up four hits and no walks against a lineup missing banged-up stars Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., who were rested.

Three relievers finished the six-hitter. The Padres have dropped six of eight.

YANKEES 3, BRAVES 1

NEW YORK (AP) — New York broke its five-game losing streak with little offense, getting a runscoring wild pitch and basesloade­d 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 lastplace 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.

Jonathan Loaisiga (2-0) worked around a hit batter in the eighth, and Aroldis Chapman pitched around a walk in the ninth for his second save, his first since April 12.

WHITE SOX 8, INDIANS 5

CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Rodón followed up his no-hitter by hanging around for five shaky innings to beat Cleveland 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 (13) and Yasmani Grandal's two-run shot in the seventh put the White Sox ahead 7-2.

NATIONALS 3, CARDINALS 2

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 Washington 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 02 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.

RED SOX 4, BLUE JAYS 2

BOSTON (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run to back Eduardo Rodriguez in his first start at Fenway Park since 2019, Boston beat Toronto.

Rodriguez (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.

Randal Grichuk and Bo Bichette homered for Toronto. Hyun Jin Ryu (1-2) lasted five innings, giving up eight hits, four runs and striking out two.
