Rookie Nick Kurtz tripled with one out in the ninth inning and scored on a pinch hit by Tyler Soderstrom to lift the Athletics to a 3-2 victory over the Marlins on Sunday in Miami.

Kurtz sent an 0-1 pitch from Anthony Bender (1-1) down the left-field line and Soderstrom singled up the middle two pitches later to give the Athletics the three-game series and improve to an AL-best 13-7 on the road.

The Athletics grabbed the lead in the second when Miguel Andujar and Jacob Wilson led off with singles against Marlins starter Edward Cabrera. Both scored on a two-out double by Gio Urshela. Dane Myers threw Urshela out at home on a single by Jhonny Pereda to end the inning.

Miami tied it in the fourth with a two-out, bases-empty rally off Athletics starter JP Sears. Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers had base hits and Myers drove in both with a double.

Sears allowed two runs on four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Mitch Spence (1-0) got five outs in the win.

Royals 11, Orioles 6: Maikel Garcia hit two of Kansas City’s franchise-record seven home runs, a rare long-ball barrage that enabled the Royals to win at Camden Yards. Bobby Witt Jr. broke a 5-5 tie with a seventh-inning solo shot off Yennier Cano (0-1), and Vinnie Pasquantino followed with drive into the right-field seats. Cano had not allowed a run in his previous 12 outings this season. Jonathan India, Luke Maile and Michael Massey also went deep for the Royals. Massey’s ninth-inning shot set the club record for home runs in a game. Kansas City entered with a major league-low 18 homers in its first 34 games.

Padres 4, Pirates 0: Stephen Kolek pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his first major league start and combined with four relievers for visiting San Diego’s eighth shutout of the season, for their fifth straight win. Kolek was recalled from Triple-A El Paso before the game. He made 42 relief appearances for the Padres last season as a rookie after being selected from Seattle in the Rule 5 draft.

Brewers 4, Cubs 0: Freddy Peralta (4-2) pitched six sharp innings to help host Milwaukee, with the Brewers lineup breaking through after an injury knocked out left-hander Shota Imanaga (3-2) in the sixth inning. The game was scoreless when Imanaga strained his left hamstring while heading toward first base in an unsuccessful attempt to complete a 1-6-3 double play.

Rays 7, Yankees 5: Jonathan Aranda homered and added a two-run single, boosting Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium to end the Rays’ eight-game stretch of scoring four runs or fewer. Tampa Bay matched its season high with 16 hits, including four by No. 9 hitter Taylor Walls and three each by Travis Jankowski, Yandy Díaz and Aranda.
