Jung Hoo Lee hit a three-run homer, LaMonte Wade Jr. added a two-run double in a five-run first inning that chased Marcus Stroman and the visiting San Francisco Giants rolled to a rain-shortened 9-1 rout of the New York Yankees on Friday night for their ninth win in 11 games.
San Francisco’s first six batters reached on a night of steady rain, giving a 5-0 cushion to Robbie Ray (3-0) before he threw a pitch.
With two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, umpires stopped the game. They called it 30 minutes later.
Stroman (0-1) lasted nine batters, throwing 46 pitches and getting two outs. He allowed four hits and three walks.
Padres 8, Rockies 0: Fernando Tatis Jr. and Gavin Sheets homered, Nick Pivetta struck out 10 and combined with two relievers on a three-hitter and San Diego blanked Colorado to improve to 8-0 at home this season.
Jose Iglesias hit two RBI singles in the Padres’ six-run fifth and Elías Díaz added a two-run single.
Pivetta (2-1) allowed three hits in seven innings and walked one.
Guardians 7, Royals 0: Gabriel Arias had three hits — including a three-run homer — and Cleveland extended its winning streak to four by blanking visiting Kansas City.
Five Cleveland pitchers combined on the shutout.
Arias connected on a first-pitch fastball from Royals starter Kris Bubic (0-1) in the fourth inning.
The three runs were the first earned runs Bubic had allowed in 26 2/3 innings dating to last season.
White Sox 11, Red Sox 1: Michael A. Taylor had three hits and scored three times, and host Chicago stopped an eight-game slide by routing Boston.
Omar Narváez had three RBIs in Chicago’s highest scoring game of the season. Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa and Jacob Amaya each drove in two runs.
The White Sox finished with 12 hits. They totaled 16 runs and 49 hits during their losing streak.
Boston had five errors, leading to six unearned runs. The Red Sox have committed a major league-high 19 errors in 15 games.
Rays 6, Braves 3: Danny Jansen hit his first home run of the season and drove in four runs and Tampa Bay beat visiting Atlanta.
Jansen, who had one hit in his first 27 at-bats through the Rays’ first 12 games, hit a two-run homer in the fourth. In his next at-bat in the sixth, the catcher hit an RBI single and added a ground-rule double in the eighth that scored another run.
Taj Bradley (2-0) went six innings, allowing one run, five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.
Cardinals 2, Phillies 0: Andre Pallante pitched seven shutout innings, lifting St. Louis to a home victory over Philadelphia.
Pallante (2-0) gave up just two singles, struck out four and walked two.
Reds 5, Pirates 3: Jeimer Candelario hit a two-run homer to help Brady Singer and Cincinnati win at home over Pittsburgh.
Singer (3-0) pitched five innings of three-run ball in his third straight win. The right-hander allowed two hits and walked three.
Nationals 7, Marlins 4: Nathaniel Lowe hit a pinch-hit, bases-clearing, go-ahead double in the eighth inning, James Wood added a 400-foot homer in the ninth and Washington scored seven unanswered runs in a victory at Miami.
