ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. >> Xavier Edwards drove in three runs, and Jake Burger and Jonah Bride homered to help Roddery Muñoz beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 Wednesday for the rookie’s first win in nearly three months.

Edwards had a sacrifice fly and two-run single for the Marlins, who overcame a pair of one-run deficits to salvage a two-game split and send Taj Bradley (6-5) to his first loss since June 8.

Muñoz (2-5), a 24-year-old right-hander, had been 0-5 in 10 starts since beating Colorado on May 1 for his first major league win. He allowed two runs and four hits while striking out seven over five innings. He gave up a solo homer to Christopher Morel in the first and RBI triple to Jonny DeLuca in the second.

Padres 8, Dodgers 1 >> San Diego’s Dylan Cease held the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers in check in his first start after throwing his first career no-hitter and Clayton Kershaw lasted only 3 2/3 innings in his second start of the season.

Kershaw made his 2024 debut on Thursday after having offseason shoulder surgery. The 36-year-old lefty had a solid outing against San Francisco then but had a shaky performance at Petco Park, as did the rest of the Dodgers, who committed three errors and had just three hits.

All-Star Jurickson Profar had two RBI singles and Luis Campusano had a homer and RBI single for the Padres, who won for the ninth time in 11 games since the All-Star break.

ORIOLES 10, BLUE JAYS 4 >> Jackson Holliday returned to the major leagues with a flourish, hitting a fifth-inning grand slam for his first career home run to help Baltimore to a victory over Toronto.

Holliday, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft and baseball’s top-ranked prospect at the moment per MLB Pipeline, had been sent down after going 2 for 34 with 18 strikeouts for the Orioles earlier this season. In his first game back, he grounded out twice before connecting for a 439-foot drive with the bases loaded that gave Baltimore an 8-3 lead.

Grayson Rodriguez (13-4) allowed three earned runs and six hits in six innings for Baltimore. He struck out eight and walked three.

Cubs 13, Reds 4 >> Ian Happ launched a two-run homer and the Chicago Cubs banged out nine doubles among their 17 hits in routing Cincinnati.

Seiya Suzuki, Patrick Wisdom and Pete Crow-Armstrong each had a two-run double. Nico Hoerner, Christian Bethancourt and Cody Bellinger also drove in runs for the Cubs, who set season highs for runs and hits. They struck early and never really let the Reds climb back into the game.

YANKEES 6, PHILLIES 5 >> DJ LeMahieu had a career-high six RBIs with a grand slam and two-run double, Nestor Cortes got his first road win this year and the New York Yankees extended their winning streak to five with a victory that completed a three-game sweep of slumping Philadelphia.

Giancarlo Stanton added a pair of hits for New York, which rebounded from a 10-23 slide with its best stretch since eight consecutive wins from May 9 to June 6..

BRAVES 6, BREWERS 2 >> Matt Olson and Travis d’Arnaud hit back-to-back homers twice, and Atlanta defeated Milwaukee.

Olson and d’Arnaud went deep on consecutive pitches from Freddy Peralta in the fourth inning to tie the game as the Braves erased an early 2-0 deficit. Olson hit a 416-foot drive to center field and d’Arnaud added a 412-foot shot to left-center off Nick Mears in the eighth to help the Braves leave Milwaukee with a series victory.

CARDINALS 10, RANGERS 1 >> Tommy Pham started in left field for St. Louis, getting three hits and two RBIs, and Michael McGreevy pitched seven innings in his MLB debut to lift the Cardinals to a victory over Texas.

Pham returned to St. Louis on Tuesday and debuted with a pinch-hit grand slam after being part of a three-team trade Monday. Pham began his career with the Cardinals, who drafted him in the sixth round in 2006.

ROYALS 10, WHITE SOX 3 >> Freddy Fermin launched a two-run homer among his four hits and the Kansas City pounded the White Sox, extending Chicago’s franchise-record losing streak to 17 games.

TWINS 8, METS 3 >> Matt Wallner hit a two-run homer and came within inches of another round-tripper as Minnesota finally won a game in New York by beating the Mets.

DIAMONDBACKS 5, NATIONALS 4 >> Zac Gallen won his third straight start, Ryan Thompson got out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning, and Arizona earned a three-game sweep.

RED SOX 3, MARINERS 2, 10 INN. >> Rafael Devers doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning for his third hit of the game, and Boston beat Seattle.

Astros 5, Pirates 4 >> Mauricio Dubón hit a two-run homer, Framber Valdez struck out 10 in six innings and Houston came from behind to beat Pittsburgh.
