GUARDIANS 7, ROYALS 0

Gabriel Arias had three hits — including a three-run homer — Angel Martínez had his second career three-hit game and Cleveland extended their winning streak to four, beating Kansas City on Friday.

REDS 5, PIRATES 3

Jeimer Candelario hit a two-run homer to help Brady Singer and Cincinnati beat Pittsburgh. Singer (3-0) pitched five innings of three-run ball in his third straight win. The right-hander allowed two hits, struck out three and walked three. Singer is in his first season with Cincinnati after he was acquired in a November trade with Kansas City.

RAYS 6, BRAVES 3

Danny Jansen hit his first home run of the season and drove in four runs, Christopher Morel also homered and Tampa Bay beat Atlanta. Jansen, who had one hit in his first 27 at-bats through the Rays’ first 12 games, hit a two-run homer on a first-pitch sinker from Bryce Elder in the fourth inning, scoring Kameron Misner. In his next at-bat in the sixth, the 29-year-old catcher hit an RBI single to center and added a ground-rule double in the eighth that scored another run.

NATIONALS 7, MARLINS 4

Nathaniel Lowe hit a 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 over Miami. The Nationals trailed for the first five innings before scoring seven straight, including three in the eighth and two in the ninth. Lowe’s hit down the left-field line — that was barely fair — came on the 10th pitch he saw from Anthony Bender, giving the Nationals their first lead at 5-4.

GIANTS 9, YANKEES 1, SIX INNINGS

Jung Hoo Lee hit a three-run homer, LaMonte Wade Jr. added a tworun double in a five-run first inning that chased Marcus Stroman and San Francisco rolled to a rain-shortened rout of New York 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. The game started with a 44-degree ( 7 Celsius) temperature after 26-minute delay and the Giants scored five runs before their first plate appearance resulting in an out for the first time since May 11, 2006, according to Major League Baseball.

WHITE SOX 11, RED SOX 1

Michael A. Taylor had three hits and scored three times, and 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.

ASTROS 14, ANGELS 3

Yainer Díaz hit his first career grand slam in a six-run fifth inning and Houston had a season-high scoring in a rout of Los Angeles. Díaz, who entered the game with just one RBI this year, had three hits and drove in a career-high five runs in the victory.

CARDINALS 2, PHILLIES 0

Andre Pallante pitched seven shutout innings and rookie catcher Yohel Pozo came off the bench to drive in a run, lifting St. Louis to a victory over Philadelphia.

Pallante (2-0) gave up just two singles, struck out four and walked two.
