New York >> Aaron Judge combined with Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger to go deep on the first three pitches from Nestor Cortes, then hit two more homers as the New York Yankees set a team record with nine home runs in a 20-7 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Judge hit a solo homer, his ninth career grand slam and a two-run drive in his 40th multihomer game and third with three homers. He finished with a career-high eight RBIs.
He came up just short of becoming the 19th player to hit four homers in a game when his sixth-inning fly fell on the right-field warning track for a run-scoring double. He flied out in the eighth against Jake Bauers, an outfielder and first baseman.
Cardinals 5, Twins 1 >> Lars Nootbaar had two hits and two RBIs, helping Erick Fedde and St. Louis beat Minnesota.
Nolan Arenado, Iván Herrera and Victor Scott II also had two hits apiece for St. Louis, which beat Minnesota 5-3 on Thursday on opening day.
Fedde (1-0) permitted one run and two hits in six innings. He retired his last 10 batters.
Angels 1, White Sox 0 >> Yoán Moncada hit an RBI single against his former team in the eighth inning, and Los Angeles blanked Chicago.
Jorge Soler walked with two outs in the eighth and advanced to third on Mike Clevinger’s wild pitch. Catcher Matt Thaiss had trouble locating the ball as Soler scampered around the bases.
Moncada then drove in Soler with a grounder back up the middle that went off Clevinger (0-1) for an infield single.
Orioles 9, Blue Jays 5 >> Jordan Westburg hit two solo homers for his first career multihomer game, and Baltimore beat Toronto.
Colton Cowser also connected for Baltimore, and Ramón Urías hit a three-run double. The Orioles finished with 12 hits after they had three in Friday’s 8-2 loss.
Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer left his debut start with the Blue Jays after three innings because of soreness in his right lat muscle.
Scherzer allowed two runs and three hits, including two solo drives in the first. He threw 45 pitches, 28 for strikes.
Royals 4, Guardians 3 >> Bobby Witt Jr. hit a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning after Maikel Garcia tied it with a homer four batters earlier to help lead Kansas City over Cleveland.
Garcia led off the seventh with a 405-foot homer off Paul Sewald (0-1). Cavan Biggio followed with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Dairon Blanco, who stole second. With two outs, Witt lined a double to left to score Blanco with the go-ahead run.
Guardians six-time All-Star Jose Ramirez left in the third inning with a sprained right wrist when he was tagged on the arm while attempting to steal second base. Gabriel Arias replaced Ramirez at third base.
Rockies 2, Rays 1 >> Brenton Doyle and Kyle Farmer each hit an RBI single to help Colorado beat Tampa Bay.
Doyle drove in Nick Martini with a grounder back up the middle in the third inning. Farmer’s liner to right in the seventh brought home Hunter Goodman for a 2-0 lead.
Tampa Bay finished with 12 hits in its second regular-season game at the spring training home of the New York Yankees.
Phillies 11, Nationals 6 >> Kyle Schwarber’s three-run shot — his second homer in two games — was the big blow in a five-run sixth inning, and Brandon Marsh’s three-run drive in the seventh that drew “Let’s go, Phillies!” chants at Nationals Park lifted Philadelphia to a win over Washington.
Jesús Luzardo (1-0) struck out 11 in five innings in his Phillies debut. The only scoring he allowed came on Keibert Ruiz’s two-run homer in the second.
The Phillies tied it on Bryson Stott’s two-run shot in the fourth off Jake Irvin, who also lasted five innings.
Marlins 5, Pirates 4 (12 INN.) >> Dane Myers’ RBI single in the 12th inning drove in Otto Lopez to give Miami a win over Pittsburgh, the Marlins’ second walk-off victory in three days.
Myers threw out Tommy Pham at home from right field in the top of the inning, then delivered his opposite-field drive to right-center off Tim Mayza for the winning run. Kyle Stowers gave the Marlins a 5-4 win on opening day with a ninth-inning RBI.
Myers, Stowers and Lopez had three hits apiece with Derek Hill adding two. George Soriano (1-0), the seventh Marlins pitcher, got the win despite giving up two hits in the 12th.
Rangers 4, Red Sox 3 >> Adolis García put Texas ahead to stay with his first homer of the season after an earlier two-run double and Texas beat Boston.
García went deep leading off the fourth for a 3-2 lead. His 414-foot drive to left field came on a 79-mph sweeper pitch from Walker Buehler (0-1).
Kristian Campbell led off the Red Sox fourth with his first career homer. The rookie, starting in left field after his first two games at second base, almost prevented García’s two-run double in the first inning.
Astros 2, Mets 1 >> Jeremy Peña homered and Yordan Alvarez got his first hit this season, a tiebreaking double in the sixth inning that lifted Houston to a win over New York.
