Howie Kendrick had a three-run triple while Philadelphia scored 12 runs for the biggest first inning in team history, and the host Phillies routed the Washington Nationals, 17-3, on Saturday night.
Philadelphia piled up nine hits and four walks off Jeremy Guthrie (0-1) and Enny Romero in the first. Maikel Franco, Michael Saunders, and Tommy Joseph each had two RBIs as Washington set a team mark for runs allowed in an inning.
Phillies starter Aaron Nola (1-0) pitched six solid innings for the win.
More troubling for the Nationals, shortstop Trea Turner was lifted with a hamstring injury after rounding third base in the first inning. He’s expected to miss at least a couple of days.
Washington’s Daniel Murphy continued his hot start with three hits and two doubles to raise his average to .524.
Orioles 5, Yankees 4 — Hyun Soo Kim hit a tiebreaking RBI single off Dellin Betances in the seventh inning after a rare stolen base by slugger Mark Trumbo, and host Baltimore beat New York.
The Orioles trailed, 4-3, in the seventh when Chris Davis doubled with one out. Trumbo followed with an RBI single, and the majors’ defending home run champ promptly stole second off Betances (0-1), against whom runners were 21 for 21 last year in attempted steals. Kim then blooped his hit.
Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez left in the fifth after straining his right biceps during his follow-through on a swing. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list.
One day after overcoming four-run deficit, the Orioles came back from being down 4-1 and improved this season to 4-0.
‘‘There are 158 games left,’’ manager Buck Showalter said. ‘‘I’d rather win the first four than lose the first four but . . . we’ll take each challenge as it comes.’’
‘‘I was just trying to put the ball in play, trying to make good contact,’’ said Kim, who went 3 for 4.
It was the 23rd career stolen base for Trumbo in 553 games. It was also the second steal of the day for power-laden Baltimore, which had only 19 all last year.
Baltimore secured its 10th straight series win against New York at Camden Yards, a streak that began after the 2013 season.
Mychal Givens (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh and Zach Britton got his third save, with Chris Carter’s bid for a go-ahead, two-run homer being caught on the warning track for the final out. The Yankees have lost four of five.
New York’s Matt Holliday got his 2,000th career hit, an opposite-field single to right in the first inning.
Seeking to rebound from a dismal performance on opening day, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka allowed three runs and six hits over five innings. He walked four and hit two batters, still struggling after giving up a career-high seven earned runs in an abbreviated start against Tampa Bay.
Kevin Gausman gave up four runs and eight hits in 4⅔ innings for Baltimore. The right-hander was 3-1 with a 1.10 ERA against New York last season, working at least six innings in each of his six starts.
Rockies 4, Dodgers 2 — Clayton Kershaw surrendered back-to-back homers for the first time in his career, with Mark Reynolds and Gerardo Parra going deep in the sixth to help host Colorado beat Los Angeles.
Reynolds lined a two-run homer off Kershaw (1-1). Three pitches later, Parra followed with a solo shot to help the Rockies improve to 5-1 for the third time in franchise history. This was only the third time Kershaw has allowed multi-homers in an inning over his career. He also allowed a homer to Nolan Arenado in the first.
The Dodgers ace went six innings and gave up four runs, including three homers, in his first loss to the Rockies since July 12, 2013.
Jon Gray turned in a strong outing during a no-decision, allowing one run over 5 1/3 innings. Mike Dunn (2-0) got two outs in the sixth to earn the win and Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
Athletics 6, Rangers 1 — Kendall Graveman held Texas hitless until Mike Napoli homered with two outs in the seventh inning, and visiting Oakland rolled past the Rangers.
Graveman (2-0) gave up two hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking one. Graveman had allowed only one runner before Napoli sent a drive into Oakland’s bullpen in left-center for his first home run of the season.
Yu Darvish (0-1) allowed one run in six innings on four hits and three walks, striking out five. His 3-10 career record against Oakland is his worst against any big league opponent.
Rays 3, Blue Jays 2 — Making his major league debut, Toronto reliever Casey Lawrence walked home the winning run with two outs in the 11th inning to give host Tampa Bay the win.
Mallex Smith got on base five straight times and scored on Brad Miller’s walk to end it.
Smith led off the Tampa Bay 11th with a double and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. After a pair of intentional walks loaded the bases, Lawrence struck out Evan Longoria but then walked Miller.
Erasmo Ramirez (1-0) got the win, pitching 1 2/3 shutout innings.
Cardinals 10, Reds 4 — Aledmys Diaz hit two home runs, Michael Wacha allowed one run over six innings, and the Cardinals beat Cincinnati in St. Louis to spoil Bronson Arroyo’s return after 2½ seasons away from the game.
Cubs 11, Brewers 6 — Kris Bryant broke out of his early slump by driving in his first three runs of the season and visiting Chicago overcame a shaky start by Kyle Hendricks to beat Milwaukee.
Bryant had managed a mere single in 16 at-bats this year before going 3 for 6. He hit a two-run double in the third inning and an RBI single in the fourth.
The World Series champions got a season-high 17 hits. Javier Baez got two hits and drove in two runs, a day after he was bruised around the left eye in an outfield collision and left the game.
Hendricks (1-0), who led the majors with a 2.13 ERA last year, made his first start of the season and gave up a leadoff home run to Jonathan Villar. The Brewers scored four times in the first.
Padres 2, Giants 1 — Rookie Manuel Margot doubled twice off Madison Bumgarner, and Jhoulys Chacin and two relievers held San Francisco to five hits to lift host San Diego.
Margot stayed hot a day after hitting his first two big league home runs in a home-opening win against the Giants. He hustled for a double on a grounder to left leading off the first and scored on Hunter Renfroe’s double. He doubled with one out in the second to bring in rookie Allen Cordoba, who hit a leadoff single to left for his first big league hit.
Chacin (1-1) rebounded nicely from being roughed up in a 14-3 loss to the Dodgers on opening day. He kept the Giants off-balance while striking out five and walking one.
Diamondbacks 11, Indians 2 — David Peralta hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and host Arizona piled on with six more runs in the eighth to rout Cleveland.
Peralta’s second home run of the season pinged off the right field foul pole with one out to give the Diamondbacks a 2-1 lead against starter Trevor Bauer. The Diamondbacks (5-1) have come from behind for all five of their wins this season.
Zack Greinke (1-0) pitched 6⅔ solid innings, allowing a run and five hits while striking out six.
Royals 7, Astros 3 — Cheslor Cuthbert hit a solo homer early and Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez both went deep during a six-run eighth, helping visiting Kansas City rally past Houston.
The Royals trailed, 2-,1 and managed just two hits off Dallas Keuchel before Luke Gregerson (0-1) took over for the eighth. Alex Gordon put Kansas City ahead with a two-run double, Lorenzo Cain hit an RBI single, and then Hosmer’s first homer this season extended the lead to 6-2. Two pitches later, Perez sent an 88 m.p.h. fastball into the seats in left field to chase Gregerson.
Danny Duffy (1-0) allowed eight hits and two runs over seven innings for the win, and the Royals took their second straight from Houston after being swept in a three-game series at Minnesota to open the season.
Pirates 6, Braves 4 — Gregory Polanco had no trouble with R.A. Dickey’s knuckleball, getting three of his four hits and driving in a run off the starter to lead host Pittsburgh over Atlanta.
Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer also got an RBI each for the Pirates, who have won two straight after starting 0-2. Chad Kuhl worked five occasionally wild innings to pick up the win. Tony Watson pitched out of a two-on, one-out jam for his second save in two days.
Marlins 8, Mets 1 — Marcell Ozuna hit a mammoth home run and Adam Conley allowed one hit through five innings to lead visiting Miami over New York.
Christian Yelich crashed into the outfield fence for a fantastic catch that robbed Yoenis Cespedes of extra bases in the eighth. Otherwise, the Marlins breezed to their third consecutive win on another windy night at Citi Field.
White Sox 6, Twins 2 — Avisail Garcia went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and Geovany Soto homered for the third time in four games as host Chicago handed Minnesota its first loss of the season.
The Twins (4-1) were looking to start 5-0 for the first time since 1968, but didn’t get the pitching they had in their first four wins. Mejia lasted just 1⅔ innings in his first MLB start, and Minnesota’s bullpen allowed three runs, snapping a 16⅔-inning scoreless streak.
Miguel Gonzalez (1-0) pitched six solid innings for Chicago, striking out six while allowing seven hits. The right-hander has won his past three decisions.
