MIAMI >> Hunter Goodman tripled and doubled and the Colorado Rockies beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 on Wednesday to complete a sweep in their first series win of the season.

Rockies starter Kyle Freeland allowed two unearned runs over 6 1/3 innings. Freeland (1-8) scattered four hits and struck out four for his first victory since a 4-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 8, 2024.

Colorado, which began the series with a major league-worst 9-50 record, won its third straight for the first time this season. It was the Rockies’ first three-game sweep since they beat the San Diego Padres in May 2024.

Jake Bird got the last two outs in the seventh, Victor Vodnik pitched the eighth and Tyler Kinley closed for his second save.

The Rockies struck quickly against Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (3-6) on Goodman’s RBI triple in the first.

Consecutive doubles from Tyler Freeman and Jordan Beck in the fifth made it 2-0.

Goodman hit a leadoff double against reliever Jackson Junk in the sixth, advanced on a flyout and scored on Brenton Doyle’s sacrifice fly.

The Marlins, who lost their fourth straight, got on the board on Heriberto Hernández’s run-scoring single and an RBI fielder’s choice by Jesús Sánchez in the seventh.

Quantrill allowed two runs and five hits over five innings. The right-hander walked one and struck out two.

Guardians 4, Yankees 0 >> Angel Martínez hit an early two-run homer, Luis Ortiz earned his first win since April 18 and the Cleveland Guardians beat the New York Yankees 4-0 on Wednesday night.

Kyle Manzardo also went deep for the Guardians, who scored three times in the first inning and turned a trio of double plays. Ortiz (3-6) allowed three hits and struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings.

Martínez connected in the first on Clarke Schmidt’s seventh pitch. Daniel Schneeman added an RBI double later in the inning to help the Guardians win for the third time in their last 11 regular-season trips to the Bronx.

José Ramírez doubled in the first, extending his on-base streak to 30 games, and scored on Schneeman’s double. Manzardo padded the lead with a solo homer in the eighth.

Blue Jays 2, Phillies 1 >> Alejandro Kirk drove in the winning run in the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a one-out single off former teammate Jordan Romano (4-2) and stole second base. Addison Barger struck out but Kirk won it with a line drive that hit off the wall in right field.

Former Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman (5-2) got one out for the win.

Nick Castellanos opened the scoring with a solo home run off Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos in the second.

Toronto chased right-hander Mick Abel and tied it in the sixth when Bo Bichette’s triple scored Andrés Giménez.

Nationals 2, Cubs 0 >> MacKenzie Gore pitched seven innings of three-hit ball and Amed Rosario homered to break a scoreless tie in the seventh as the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on Wednesday night.

Nasim Nuñez added an RBI double in the eighth to chase Cubs starter Matthew Boyd, who carried a perfect game into the sixth before walking Nuñez with one out and then giving up a two-out single to rookie Robert Hassell III.

Rosario’s third homer — an opposite-field shot into the Washington bullpen in right — came on the first pitch thrown by Boyd (5-3) in the seventh.

Gore (3-5) has tossed 13 consecutive scoreless innings. He struck out seven, walked one and threw 94 pitches as the Nationals evened the three-game series.

The left-hander retired 21 of the final 23 batters he faced in a game that took only 2 hours, 11 minutes.

Pirates 3, Astros 0 >> Pittsburgh’s Mike Burrows held Houston in check into the sixth inning to pick up the first victory of his career as the Pirates topped the Astros 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Burrows (1-1), whose rise through the Pirates system was slowed by Tommy John surgery in 2023, allowed five hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old right-hander took a significant step forward after giving up eight runs in 8 1/3 innings across his first two starts.

David Bednar worked the ninth for his seventh save.

Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz had two hits apiece for Pittsburgh, which snapped a two-game skid. Andrew McCutchen and Isiah Kiner-Falefa both drove in runs against Houston starter Ryan Gusto (3-3) in the second inning to give Burrows all the offense he would need.

Jeremy Peña had two of Houston’s seven hits as the Astros lost for just the third time in their last 10 games.

Gusto, who has split time between the bullpen and the starting rotation, labored through 4 1/3 innings. He needed 83 pitches to record 13 outs and was pulled with two on and one out in the fifth. Gusto allowed three runs on eight hits, with two walks and three strikeouts. The right-hander is 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA in his last six appearances.
