ST LOUIS: Dakota
Hudson held the visiting Milwaukee Brewers hitless for 6 2/3 innings Monday
night, propelling the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-0 victory. Hudson (12-6)
exited with a no-hitter intact with two outs in the seventh inning after
walking Eric Thames with his 111th pitch. Yasmani Grandal ended the combined
no-hitter one inning later with a two-out double off reliever Giovanny
Gallegos. Cardinals reliever Andrew Miller got the last out in the eighth inning
with the bases loaded, then closed out the game in the ninth to earn his fifth
save. Hudson had seven strikeouts but allowed four walks. The division-leading
Cardinals won for the eighth time in 10 games. The Brewers have lost five of
their past seven games. Kolten Wong (groundout)
and Dexter Fowler (single) drove in runs for St. Louis in the fifth inning, and
Paul DeJong added a solo homer in the sixth.

Nationals 13,
Pirates 0

Trea Turner hit a
three-run homer, Matt Adams and Asdrubal Cabrera each hit two-run dingers, and
Adam Eaton hit a solo shot as Washington cruised to victory at Pittsburgh.
Washington racked up 11 runs in the first four innings after hitting eight
homers Sunday in a 16-8 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Nationals have won seven
of their past eight games and have scored 62 runs in their past five games.
Nationals starter Joe Ross pitched 3 1/3 scoreless, three-hit innings before he
left after getting hit in the right leg by a Josh Bell comebacker. Javy Guerra
(2-1) took over and was perfect for 3 2/3 innings.

Rangers 8, Angels
7 (11 innings)

Isiah
Kiner-Falefa's infield single scored the winning run in the 11th inning for
Texas, which climbed from an early hole to beat Los Angeles in Arlington,
Texas. Hunter Pence went 3-for-4 with two walks for the Rangers. Willie Calhoun
and Delino DeShields had two hits each, and Scott Heineman added the first two
RBIs of his career. Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer for the Angels, who
left the bases loaded in the eighth and ninth innings and had the bases loaded
before lining into a double play to end the 10th. Los Angeles didn't score
after the second inning.

Diamondbacks 5,
Rockies 3

Carson Kelly hit
a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, and Ketel Marte had a two-run shot as
Arizona beat Colorado in Phoenix. Arizona added two more runs after Kelly's
homer when David Peralta greeted reliever Jake McGee with a two-run triple into
the right field corner. All three eighth-inning runs were charged to reliever
Wade Davis (1-6). Kelly's blast came after the Rockies tied the game at 2 in
the top of the inning when Tony Wolters singled to drive in his second run of
the game. Colorado's Charlie Blackmon hit a solo homer in the ninth off Archie
Bradley, who earned his fifth save. Yoan Lopez (2-5) got the final two outs of
the eighth.

Royals 5, Orioles
4

Nicky Lopez and
Nick Dini homered on back-to-back pitches starting the seventh inning, helping
Kansas City win at Baltimore. The Royals ended a two-game losing streak while
the Orioles dropped their eighth consecutive game. Kansas City scored three in
the sixth and was up 3-2 when Lopez homered on the first pitch of that seventh
inning off Gabriel Ynoa. Dini followed with his solo shot on the next pitch.
Dini's first major league home run and gave the Royals a three-run lead. Kansas
City starter Jorge Lopez (2-7) gave up one run on two hits in five innings. Ian
Kennedy pitched the ninth for his 22nd save despite allowing a home run to Rio
Ruiz.

White Sox 6,
Twins 4

Jose Abreu hit a
three-run homer, and Yolmer Sanchez drove in a run with a suicide squeeze to
lead Chicago to a victory over Minnesota in Minneapolis. Ryan Goins went
3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs for Chicago, which snapped a seven-game losing
streak at Target Field. Jorge Polanco homered and drove in two runs for
Minnesota, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Chicago's Ivan Nova
(9-9) overcame a rocky start to improve to 5-0 in his past six starts, allowing
two runs on 10 hits over 5 1/3 innings. Alex Colome, despite giving up three
hits and a run in the ninth, picked up his 24th save.

Astros 5, Tigers
4

Yuli Gurriel had
a two-run double as part of a four-run first inning, and Houston then used some
gritty bullpen work to fend off visiting Detroit. Gurriel drove home Alex
Bregman and Yordan Alvarez with his double to straightaway center field and
later scored on a fielding error by Tigers left fielder Brandon Dixon to cap
the Astros' early four-run outburst. Houston extended its lead to 5-2 before
holding tight down the stretch, with relievers Hector Rondon, Will Harris and
Roberto Osuna (28th save) putting together the final 10 outs. Ronny Rodriguez
and Travis Demeritte homered for the Tigers.

Padres 3, Reds 2

Francisco Mejia
hit a go-ahead home run in the fourth inning, and Kirby Yates worked out of a
ninth-inning jam as San Diego won at Cincinnati. Josh VanMeter had an RBI
single off Yates in the ninth to make it 3-2, but the closer induced a
fielder's choice to retire the potential tying run in a rundown between third
and home for the second out. After plunking Jose Iglesias to load the bases,
Yates fanned Eugenio Suarez for his 36th save and third in three days. Greg
Garcia was 2-for-4 with two runs, and Manny Machado had an RBI single for the
Padres, who have won four of their past five games.

Mariners 9, Rays
3

Tom Murphy hit
two home runs and drove in four runs as Seattle defeated Tampa Bay in St.
Petersburg, Fla. Austin Nola also homered for the Mariners, who improved to 5-2
on their nine-game trip. Tommy Pham and Austin Meadows went deep for the Rays,
who had a two-game winning streak snapped. The Rays' lead over the idle Oakland
A's for the American League's second and final wild card was trimmed to one
game. Mariners starter Marco Gonzales (13-10) pitched five innings, allowing
three runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out five. - Reuters
