Batting third in the lineup, Rosario produced his big hit in the first inning, tripling in a run and then scoring on a sacrifice fly. The offseason acquisition increased his hitting streak to 10 games and boosted his average to .339.

Yandy Diaz was 2-for-4 and Richie Palacios singled and scored as the Rays had just five hits.

Pepiot (2-2) yielded just one run on three hits and three walks. He fanned seven over 92 pitches.

The Rays won the seven-game season series 4-3.

For the Angels, Mike Trout went 0-for-3 but stole two bases and scored. Miguel Sano singled, walked and had an RBI. Luis Rengifo had two hits.

Starter Griffin Canning (0-3) allowed two runs and four hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.

In the bottom of the first, Rosario put his side up 1-0 by slicing a triple down the right field line, plating Palacios, who had walked.

Harold Ramirez staked them to a 2-0 lead with a sacrifice fly to right.

Pepiot stranded two Angels in scoring position in the second when Nolan Schanuel flied out to left, and the right-hander settled in nicely in his fourth start for Tampa Bay.

Through the first five scoreless innings, Pepiot allowed three hits and two walks, but a brief moment of wildness in the sixth helped put the visitors on the board.

Trout led off the frame with a walk and soon stole both second and third. Sano then brought him home with a sacrifice fly to right to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Tampa Bay mounted a strong threat in the sixth after Palacios and Rosario singled to open the inning, chasing Canning from the game. Reliever Luis Garcia then forced a double-play grounder.

After closer Pete Fairbanks blew a save in the Angels' 5-4 rally on Wednesday, the Rays' bullpen got redemption by shutting down Los Angeles over the final three innings.

Following scoreless innings by Garrett Cleavinger and Phil Maton, Colin Poche allowed two singles in the ninth before retiring pinch hitter Brandon Drury on a fielder's choice for his second save.

The two-time All-Star left Tuesday's win against Cleveland with discomfort and was not in Thursday's lineup against the Guardians.

Devers went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 2-0 victory and is batting just .188 with two homers and five RBIs through 13 games this season.

Devers, 27, is a career .279 hitter with 174 home runs and 560 RBIs in 855 games since making his debut with the Red Sox in 2017.

Pablo Reyes started at third base and batted seventh in Thursday's matinee at Fenway Park.

Boston begins a six-game road trip at Pittsburgh on Friday.

Amed Rosario's two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth put the Rays up 4-3 before the Angels came back against Rays closer Pete Fairbanks.

Rosario, Isaac Paredes and Yandy Diaz each had two hits for Tampa Bay.

Amed Rosario's two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth put the Rays up 4-3 before the Angels came back against Rays closer Pete Fairbanks.

A walk, a single and a double steal put runners at second and third with one out before Rendon singled to left. Jo Adell scored from third to tie the game, and Zach Neto appeared to scored from second to put the Angels up for the moment.

The Rays, however, successfully challenged the call as replay review showed that Neto was tagged out before scoring. After an intentional walk to Mike Trout, Ward singled home Rendon from second to put Los Angeles up 5-4. It was Ward's American League-leading 21st RBI.

Angels reliever Hunter Strickland (1-0), who gave up the homer to Rosario, pitched a scoreless ninth to finish it off and get the victory over Fairbanks (0-2).

The Angels held the lead most of the game on the strength of another solid performance by starting pitcher Reid Detmers -- 5 1/3 innings, two runs (one earned) and seven hits -- and Trout's AL-leading eighth home run.

Detmers handed the ball over to the bullpen, which got five outs from reliever Adam Cimber in the sixth and seventh innings.

Rosario, Isaac Paredes and Yandy Diaz each had two hits for Tampa Bay. Nolan Schanuel and Ward had three hits apiece for Los Angeles, which has won two of three to open the four-game series.

Trout's homer off Rays starter Zach Littell in the first inning gave the Angels a 1-0 lead before the Rays tied the game in the second inning on Jose Siri's sacrifice fly.

Rendon's RBI single in the fifth and an RBI double by Luis Rengifo in the sixth put the Angels up 3-1 before the Rays knocked Detmers out of the game in the bottom of the sixth.

Three consecutive singles started the inning, capped by an RBI hit from Randy Arozarena, cutting the Angels' lead to 3-2. With runners on first and third and no outs, Detmers was able to get Paredes to pop out to catcher Logan O'Hoppe.

Angels manager Ron Washington removed Detmers in favor of the sidearm reliever Cimber, who recorded the final two outs without allowing another run to score, maintaining the 3-2 lead.

The Rays threatened again in the seventh, putting runners on first and second with one out, but Cimber escaped when the shortstop Neto made a diving catch of a line drive by Diaz and then dived into second base to double up Curtis Mead to end the inning.

Houck (3-1) struck out nine and didn't walk a batter. He threw 94 pitches, 69 for strikes. It was the first complete game of Houck's career, and the first complete game by a Red Sox pitcher since Nathan Eovaldi in May 2022.

The Red Sox were limited to five hits, and two of them came from Connor Wong. After hitting a solo home run in the third, Wong singled in the seventh. Wong's home run was his third of the season.

Boston also received two hits from Jarren Duran -- a single and a double -- and a single from Pablo Reyes.

Jose Ramirez, Josh Naylor and Gabriel Arias had the Cleveland hits, all of which were singles.

The official time of Wednesday's game was one hour, 49 minutes.

The victory improved Boston's home record to 3-6. The Guardians fell to 9-3 on the road.

Cleveland starting pitcher Ben Lively (0-1) gave up two runs on three hits in five innings. He struck out seven and walked one.

The Guardians received a scoreless inning of relief from Nick Sandlin and two scoreless innings from Wes Parsons.

The Red Sox struck first when Reyes scored from third on a Lively balk with two outs in the bottom of the third. Reyes reached on a leadoff single, and moved to third on Duran's one-out double.

Boston doubled its lead on Wong's home run to left center in the fourth.

Boston's Rafael Devers was in the lineup as the designated hitter after leaving Tuesday's game in the seventh inning with discomfort in his left knee. Devers was 0 for 4 and struck out three times.

It was Boston's first victory in the four-game series. Cleveland won Monday's matchup 6-0, and prevailed 10-7 in 11 innings Tuesday. The set wraps up Thursday.

The Phillies finished off a three-game sweep as they won for the sixth time in their past eight games. Colorado has lost five straight and seven of its past eight.

Schwarber hit homer No. 250 of his career, a solo shot, leading off the bottom of the first to tie the game and spark a four-run inning against Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner (1-2).

Then in the sixth, with Philadelphia leading 5-1, Schwarber lined a ball off the facing of the second deck in right for his fifth home run of the season and the 26th multi-homer game of his career.

Sanchez (1-2) brushed off an unearned run that he allowed in the first inning to lower his ERA to 2.53. He scattered five hits and walked one.

Sanchez retired the final four hitters he faced, getting the Rockies in order in the sixth.

Down 7-1, Colorado rallied against reliever Gregory Soto in the eighth. Three singles loaded the bases, and Elehuris Montero brought home one run with a sacrifice fly. A walk reloaded the bases, and Michael Toglia's walk made it 7-3 and ended Soto's night.

Facing right-hander Jeff Hoffman, pinch hitter Charlie Blackmon grounded out to bring in another run. Hoffman walked Jacob Stallings to load the bases yet again, and Ezequiel Tovar singled to left to make it 7-6.

Phillies closer Jose Alvarado surrendered a two-out single in the ninth to Montero, and pinch runner Nolan Jones stole second. But Alvarado closed it out by getting a popout for his third save of the season.

Philadelphia didn't wait long to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead. After Schwarber's first blast, Trea Turner followed with a solo shot to left field, his second homer of the season. With one out, J.T. Realmuto grounded a single to right and Alec Bohm doubled him in. Brandon Marsh made it a four-run frame with an RBI single to right.

The Phillies added on in the fifth when Turner doubled for his third hit and later scored on Realmuto's groundout. In the sixth, Johan Rojas doubled with one out, chasing Feltner in favor of Peter Lambert. Schwarber then hit the third pitch he saw for a two-run homer.

Feltner yielded six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked two and fanned eight.

The Rockies announced earlier in the day that Kris Bryant was placed on the injured list with a back strain.

Whitlock, 27, suffered the injury in a 10-7, 11-inning loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Left-hander Joe Jacques was recalled from Triple-A to fill Whitlock's roster spot.

Whitlock is 1-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his four starts this season, though he had only pitched five innings or fewer in his first three outings.

Manager Alex Cora told reports the team hopes Whitlock can return when he's eligible, which would give a depleted rotation a boost.

Free-agent signee Lucas Giolito and prospect Chris Murphy have had Tommy John surgery this spring and won't return until 2025. Nick Pivetta (strained elbow flexor) has been out since the first week of the season.

It marked Chicago's first win against the Royals this season in seven tries. Kansas City took the opener of the twin bill, 4-2.

In Game 2, the White Sox went ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth when Andrew Vaughn doubled to left and Dominic Fletcher drove him in with a sharp single down the right field line.

Sheets doubled Chicago's lead when he led off the sixth by turning on a first-pitch fastball from Royals right-hander Michael Wacha, driving it off the right field foul pole for his third homer of the year.

The Royals cut the lead in half at 2-1 in the top of the seventh. Nick Loftin singled to right, went to second on Adam Frazier's groundout to first, took third on Tanner Banks' errant pickoff attempt and scored on Hunter Renfroe's groundout to third.

Kansas City got the tying run on against reliever Deivi Garcia in the eighth, but with two outs, pinch runner Dairon Blanco was gunned down by Chicago catcher Korey Lee while trying to steal second.

Garcia stayed in for the ninth and got his first save of the season. He logged two scoreless innings in all, giving up just one hit while walking one.

White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde (1-0) tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks. He struck out five en route to the win.

Wacha (1-2) gave up two runs on four hits over six innings, walking two and striking out four in a 92-pitch effort to take the loss.

Chicago outhit the Royals 6-5.

Tuesday's game between the teams was rained out, leading to the doubleheader on Wednesday.

Cal Raleigh, Mitch Garver and Josh Rojas hit solo home runs for the Mariners, who outscored Cincinnati 17-5 in the three games.

Elly De La Cruz went deep for the Reds' lone run and hit.

Miller (3-1) went six innings and allowed one hit, walked one and struck out seven. The right-hander won his third consecutive start, during which he has allowed one earned run on seven hits in 19 1/3 innings.

Trent Thornton, Gabe Speier and Austin Voth each pitched a hitless inning of relief.

Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-2) put together a quality start, giving up two runs on four hits in six innings, with three walks and six strikeouts.

The Reds took an early lead with two outs in the top of the second inning when De La Cruz pulled a 1-0 slider on the lower inside corner of the plate over the right-field wall for his fifth home run of the season. Miller walked the next batter, Tyler Stephenson, but struck out Nick Martini to end the inning and retired the side in order in each of his final four frames.

The Mariners tied it in the bottom of the second as Raleigh went deep into Edgar's Cantina between the first and second decks down the left-field line with two outs.

Seattle broke the tie on Garver's blast with two outs in the sixth, which also landed in the same watering hole in left.

The Mariners pulled away with three runs in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Rojas greeted reliever Lucas Sims with a homer to right. Rookie Jonatan Clase walked and stole second. With one out, Mitch Haniger lined a run-scoring single to left to make it 4-1. Two-out walks to Garver and Ty France loaded the bases before Raleigh drew a base on balls to bring home the final run.

Mike Tauchman and Michael Busch each had two hits and an RBI and Dansby Swanson had two hits and a run scored for Chicago, which has won four of five.

Cubs starter Jordan Wicks allowed two runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one.

Hayden Wesneski (1-0) was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday and blanked Arizona on one hit over four innings of relief in his season debut.

Ketel Marte and Joc Pederson homered for the second straight game for the Diamondbacks, who had won three of four.

Arizona right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (1-1) allowed three runs (two earned) and six hits in seven innings. He struck out six and didn't walk a batter.

Marte, who hit a game-tying home run with two outs in the ninth on Tuesday before the Diamondbacks won 12-11 in 10 innings, hit the first pitch from Wicks over the fence in left for a 1-0 lead.

Pfaadt had retired nine straight batters when Nico Hoerner led off the fifth with a one-hopper to Suarez at third, but Suarez dropped the ball while making the transfer from his glove.

Tauchman then lined the next pitch over the head of Randal Grichuk in right, scoring Hoerner from first to tie it 1-1.

Yan Gomes then lined the next pitch into center to score Tauchman and give Arizona a 2-1 lead.

Tucker Barnhart doubled to center to lead off the bottom of the fifth, took third on a ground out and came home on a single by Marte to tie it 2-2.

Hoerner then made an error trying to turn two on a grounder by Carroll, ending the day for Wicks.

Bellinger blasted a solo home run with one out in the sixth to put Chicago back in front 3-2.

Swanson beat out an infield single with one out in the eighth, stole second and scored when Bellinger looped a single to left. The ball got far enough away from left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to allow Swanson to continue home and stretch the lead to 4-2.

After Christopher Morel was intentionally walked, Busch then grounded a single up the middle to score Bellinger for a 5-2 lead.

Drew Smyly replaced Wesneski with one out in the ninth and gave up the home run to Pederson to make it 5-3.

Esteury Ruiz smacked his second homer in three games and Tyler Nevin had three hits as the A's capped a 3-3 homestand with their third-most runs this season.

Willson Contreras had two doubles and Ivan Herrera two RBIs for the Cardinals, who completed a 3-3 trip.

Blackburn (2-0), who had not allowed a run in any of his previous three starts, allowed three in a Cardinals fourth-inning uprising that propelled the visitors into a 3-2 lead. Contreras had an RBI double and Herrera a two-run single in the rally.

But Blackburn allowed just one more hit and no more runs before being pulled after 5 2/3 innings, charged with three runs on six hits. He walked five and struck out seven.

T.J. McFarland protected a 5-3 lead by getting the final out of the sixth, before Austin Adams, Lucas Erceg and Mason Miller tag-teamed for three scoreless innings. Miller recorded his fourth save with a two-strikeout ninth.

Down 3-2, the A's regained the lead in the fifth after Nevin and Zack Gelof opened the inning with singles against Cardinals starter Steven Matz (1-1).

Langeliers followed with his double to left-center, tying the game, before Abraham Toro (infield out) and Darell Hernaiz (sacrifice fly) plated additional runs without the benefit of a hit.

The A's added an insurance run in the sixth when Ruiz, who had reached base on a fielder's choice grounder, stole second and raced home on a Nevin single.

Promoted from Triple-A on Monday, Ruiz's homer opened the scoring in the third after Max Schuemann had worked Matz for an inning-opening walk.

Matz went five innings, during which he allowed five runs and seven hits. He walked three and struck out four.

Ruiz finished with two runs and two RBIs for the A's, who out-hit the Cardinals 10-6.

Contreras' doubles were the only extra-base hits for St. Louis, which went homer-less in the three games.

Irwin gave up four hits with six strikeouts and one walk after he allowed just one hit against the Oakland Athletics last Friday while taking a no-decision in a game Washington lost. The Nationals went 5-4 on the trip, which also had a stop at San Francisco, in addition to Oakland and Los Angeles.

Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack went five strong innings in his major league debut, but the Los Angeles offense was held to five hits. Shohei Ohtani had three of those hits for Los Angeles in his 10th multi-hit game of the season.

The big-spending Dodgers have lost each of their last two series, both at home, and have dropped three of their past four series overall. Los Angeles was shut out for the first time after entering with the second most runs in the major leagues.

Abrams ripped Knack's second career pitch into the seats in right-center field to give the Nationals the early 1-0 lead. It was Abrams' second home run of the series and fifth of the season.

Jesse Winker and Luis Garcia Jr. added singles in the opening inning and Joey Meneses made it 2-0 with a sacrifice fly.

Knack (0-1) settled down from there, retiring 10 consecutive batters into the fifth inning and finishing his debut by giving up two runs on four hits over five innings with a walk and four strikeouts.

Irvin (1-0) was even better for the Nationals, keeping the Dodgers scoreless through his six innings despite Los Angeles getting a runner to second base with one out in three of the first four innings.

Three Washington relievers helped finish off the shutout with right-hander Kyle Finnegan earning his seventh save with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

The Dodgers' Mookie Betts went 0-for-4 one day after he became the first MLB player with a five-hit game this season.

Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman pitched five innings, allowing one run, four hits and three walks with six strikeouts.

Yankee right-hander Marcus Stroman, a former Blue Jay, allowed two runs, six hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Kerry Carpenter and Parker Meadows homered for Detroit. Shelby Miller (3-1) took the loss in relief. Starter Tarik Skubal gave up four runs, two earned, in 6 1/3 innings.

Skubal cost himself a run in the opening inning. He made a throwing error that allowed Marcus Semien to reach base. Corey Seager then singled and Wyatt Langford walked, loading the bases. Garcia hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Semien.

Carpenter's homer tied the game in the bottom of the second when he deposited a 2-2 fastball over the right field wall.

The Rangers got a threat going in the sixth when Semien reached on another error, this time by second baseman Colt Keith. Seager reached on a single to left.

After Langford lined out, Garcia blasted a Skubal changeup off the center field wall for a double. Semien scored and Seager held at third.

Heim then slapped on a 0-2 offering to center, scoring both runners to make it 4-1.

The Rangers gave back a run in the bottom of the inning with an error.

Spencer Torkelson led off the bottom of the sixth with a double, ending Dunning's afternoon. Jacob Latz retired the next two batters before Keith hit a routine grounder. A throwing error by shortstop Seager allowed Keith to reach base and Torkelson to score.

The Astros had runners on the corners with one out in the bottom of the 10th when Jeremy Pena grounded into a game-ending double play.

The winning pitcher was A.J. Minter (3-1), with Raisel Iglesias earning his fifth save of the season.

Atlanta is now 2-0 in extra-inning games. Houston is 0-2.

Neither starter factored into the decision.

Astros right-hander J.P. France made his first career appearance against the Braves. He pitched five innings and allowed two runs on four hits, with one walk and four strikeouts. Atlanta's Max Fried also pitched five innings and gave up three runs on seven hits, with a season-high four walks and two strikeouts.

The Astros scored first on a solo homer by Yordan Alvarez, his fifth long ball of the year, and the Braves tied it on Marcell Ozuna's 432-foot blast over the left-center-field wall in the second inning. The home run was Ozuna's eighth, giving him the major league lead, and extended his hitting streak to 16 games.

Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his first home run of 2024, a solo shot in the fifth inning, to give the Braves a 2-1 lead.

The Astros regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Alex Bregman singled home a run, and Kyle Tucker smacked a run-scoring double to right.

The Braves tied the game in the eighth inning against reliever Ryan Pressly on Matt Olson's run-scoring grounder that went off the glove of first baseman Jose Abreu, who was charged with an error, and Arcia's sacrifice fly.

Back in the lineup after leaving Sunday's game with injuries to his left hip and knee, Perez connected against Chicago closer Michael Kopech, who was attempting a six-out save.

Kopech (0-2) got two outs around a Bobby Witt Jr. (2-for-4) infield single before the Perez blast. Hunter Renfroe provided an insurance run with a solo homer against Dominic Leone in the ninth.

The late struggles wiped away White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon's bid for a victory in his major league debut while spoiling a 3-for-3 day from Paul DeJong.

Cannon spaced one run and three hits over five innings. He struck out three and walked one.

Cannon needed just seven pitches to retire the side in order in the first inning. He set down the first five Royals overall, and the streak may have stretched to six if not for Dominic Fletcher's slip in center field.

Fletcher was unable to catch up to a Nelson Velazquez line drive that fell for a double. Adam Frazier then singled to give Kansas City a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning.

Chicago didn't trail for long. Two batters after Eloy Jimenez drew a leadoff walk in the bottom half, DeJong connected for a two-run home run against Royals starter Brady Singer. It was DeJong's team-leading third homer.

DeJong added a double for Chicago's lone extra-base hits of the game.

Singer scattered two runs and three hits in five innings, with three walks and five strikeouts. His ERA climbed from 0.98 to 1.54.

Relievers Will Smith, Nick Anderson (1-1), John Schreiber and James McArthur followed Singer with one scoreless inning apiece.

McArthur notched his fourth save, fanning Robbie Grossman with a runner on second to end the game.

Royals relievers have pitched 17 1/3 scoreless innings against Chicago in six games this season.

Starling Marte and Harrison Bader both hit two-run homers while Tyrone Taylor and Brandon Nimmo each had two-run singles for the Mets, who have won 10 of 13. Francisco Alvarez had an RBI fielder's choice in the eighth. Taylor finished with three hits.

Bryan Reynolds delivered a run-scoring infield single for the Pirates, who have lost six of eight. Oneil Cruz had a pair of singles.

Severino (2-1) gave up an unearned run on five hits and three walks while striking out four over a season-high six innings. Jorge Lopez, Jake Diekman and Grant Hartwig tossed a perfect inning apiece.

Pirates starter Bailey Falter (1-1) allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.

The Pirates took a brief lead in unusual fashion in the third.

Henry Davis led off by reaching when catcher's interference was called on Alvarez and advanced to second on an single by Alika Williams. Davis moved to third when Cruz hit into a double play and scored on Reynolds' infield single to shortstop, which was vacated in the shift.

The Mets, who overcame deficits in wins Monday and Tuesday night, responded in the bottom half, when Zack Short drew a leadoff walk before Marte homered with one out.

New York added insurance in the sixth against Hunter Stratton. Francisco Lindor led off with a single and Pete Alonso walked before both runners advanced on Jeff McNeil's bunt. After Alvarez popped out, Taylor laced a two-run single before Bader homered to left.

Alonso walked leading off the eighth, went to third on McNeil's double and scored when he beat the throw home on Alvarez's grounder to second. Four batters later, Nimmo laced his two-run single.

Milwaukee was being no-hit by Padres starter Michael King, who got charged with the loss, through 6 2/3 innings before Willy Adames broke it up with a bloop single to right field.

King (2-1) remained in the game in the 8th, when he allowed a one-out single to Brice Turang. After Turang stole second, King struck out Jackson Chourio for the second out and his day would end.

The right-hander finished with 7 2/3 innings pitched, 10 strikeouts, two hits, one run and two walks, both in the second inning.

King was replaced by Wandy Peralta and the first batter he faced, Perkins, hit a ground ball to left, scoring the speedy Turang from second.

This came one half-inning after San Diego had its best chance to score.

Matthew Batten led the top of the 8th off with a triple, but Abner Uribe proceeded to get the next three outs, including a highlight-reel play he made himself off the mound on a slow-roller by Fernando Tatis Jr.

Joel Payamps then came in for the Brewers in the 9th, forcing groundouts from Jurickson Profar and Manny Machado before Ha-Seong Kim lined out for the final out. It was Payamps' second save of the season.

It was a bullpen day for Milwaukee, with Bryse Wilson starting it off with 3 2/3 shutout innings followed by 2 1/3 from Bryan Hudson. Elvis Peguero then twirled a scoreless frame before Uribe and Payamps did the same. Uribe (2-1) earned the win.

Milwaukee's three-game losing streak came to an end while San Diego's three-game winning streak ended as well.
