Starter Zack Wheeler (2-3) allowed one hit over six shutout innings to record the win for the Phillies, who earned a split of the four-game series with their second shutout in four days. Wheeler struck out eight and walked four in recording his second straight win.

Wheeler extended his scoreless streak to 13 1/3 innings in posting his second straight scoreless start, and third this season. Trea Turner had three hits, while Harper and Bryson Stott had two hits. Stott drove in two with a two-out, third-inning triple that put Philadelphia on top, 2-0.

Cincinnati starter Nick Martinez (0-1) took the loss, allowing five runs on a career-high tying 11 hits over six innings. Martinez returned to the rotation after Frankie Montas went on the injured list with a bruised forearm.

Alex Vesia worked a scoreless seventh with three strikeouts before Daniel Hudson gave up a run in the eighth. Evan Phillips worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his seventh save. Mookie Betts, Enrique Hernandez and Freddie Freeman all had two hits as the Dodgers won their fourth consecutive game.

Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore (2-2) gave up only the home run among his seven hits allowed. He walked two and struck out four. Joey Meneses had three of Washington's seven hits. The Nationals, who left seven runners on base, only scored four runs in the series and closed a 2-4 homestand.

In the seventh, after the Red Sox clawed back to make it 5-4, Ramirez singled for his third hit, stole second, went to third on catcher Reese McGuire's throwing error and scored on a passed ball.

Rafael Devers posted his second straight three-hit game and Rob Refsnyder had two hits with an RBI for Boston, which completed a 4-2 road trip despite the loss.

Cubs 3, Astros 1

Pete Crow-Armstrong slugged a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth for his first major league hit to lift host Chicago to a sweep of Houston.

With the game tied at 1, Bryan Abreu entered the game out of the Houston bullpen to oppose the Cubs' top prospect. Crow-Armstrong greeted him with a deep fly to right to give Chicago the two-run advantage and saddle Houston's Rafael Montero with his first loss of the season.

Right-hander Justin Verlander started for Houston and got one out in the fifth before exiting the game. Verlander allowed three hits -- all to Nico Hoerner.

Rockies 10, Padres 9

Hunter Goodman hit a three-run homer to ignite a six-run eighth inning and Colorado rallied to beat San Diego in Denver.

Colorado trailed 9-4 entering the eighth but rallied against San Diego's bullpen. Goodman started the comeback with a three-run homer off Wandy Peralta (1-1). Ezequiel Tovar eventually scored the tying run on a passed ball and Elias Diaz broke the tie with an RBI single.

Tyler Kinley (1-0) tossed an inning of relief to pick up the win for Colorado and Justin Lawrence struck out Ha-Seong Kim to end the game and pick up his second save.

Royals 2, Blue Jays 1 (5 innings)

Salvador Perez homered as host Kansas City outlasted the weather and Toronto to win a rain-shortened contest. The five-inning contest marked their third straight victory by one run and gave the Royals their first series win against the Blue Jays since April 15-18, 2021.

Perez lined a first-pitch, two-run homer down the left-field line in the first inning. His seventh home run of the year gave him 837 career RBIs, tying him with Mike Sweeney for fifth all-time in franchise history.

Perez's home run snapped a career-best 21 2/3 scoreless innings streak by Toronto starter Jose Berrios (4-1). Berrios surrendered two runs on three hits and three walks with one strikeout in five innings. Four of the five runs allowed by Berrios in his six starts this year have scored via home runs.

Twins 6, White Sox 3

Edouard Julien homered twice as Minnesota belted five home runs and completed a four-game series sweep of Chicago with a victory in Minneapolis.

It was the second multi-homer game of the season for Julien. Ryan Jeffers, Carlos Santana and Jose Miranda also homered and Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with a run scored for Minnesota which won for the fifth time in its last six games.

Andrew Vaughn doubled and had two hits and a run scored and Korey Lee also had two hits for Chicago which lost its seventh straight game overall and ninth in a row at Target Field.

The A's earned a split of the four-game series despite scoring three runs or fewer for the seventh straight game and 17th time overall. Oakland also homered for the 10th straight game when Allen and Nevin connected in a four-batter span.

Allen hit a tying home run a few rows back in the left field seats with one out in the third. It was Allen's first homer since Aug. 25, 2023.

Darell Hernaiz singled, and two batters later, Nevin sent a drive into the short porch in right for a 3-1 lead.

Wood (1-2) allowed one run and eight hits. He struck out five, walked two and put runners on base in every inning but the third.

Wood loaded the bases in the first and fourth innings but got double plays each time. He lowered his ERA from 7.89 to 6.59.

After the first three Yankees reached, Wood struck out Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo bounced into a double play. In the second inning, the left-hander picked Gleyber Torres off first before Jose Trevino homered off the right field foul pole.

The Yankees also loaded the bases in the fourth following Alex Verdugo's single, but Trevino hit into a double play.

Lucas Erceg whiffed Aaron Judge and Stanton in the seventh and Mason Miller retired Judge to finish a four-out save, his sixth of the year.

Nestor Cortes (1-2) allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out four, walked none and matched his second-longest outing of the season.

The left-hander also dodged a scare when he avoided Abraham Toro's comebacker in the sixth. Toro hit a ball back to the mound and Cortes dove on his back on the third base side after putting his glove up to avoid getting hit.

Francis, who turned 28 on Monday, pitched two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 3-2 loss at Kansas City. He is 2-2 with an 8.59 ERA, seven walks and 17 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings over five games (two starts).

He has pitched parts of the past three seasons for Toronto and is 3-2 with a 3.66 ERA, one save, 15 walks and 53 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings over 26 games (two starts).

In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled left-hander Brendon Little, 27, from Triple-A Buffalo, where he was 0-1 with a 2.89 ERA, eight walks and 16 strikeouts over 9 1/3 innings in nine relief appearances.

"We all know what he means to the club," Kotsay said. "We're hopeful that it's a short period of time as opposed to a long period of time. Catching it early will hopefully limit the amount of days on the IL."

Gelof, 24, is in his first full season after playing 69 games in 2023 and hitting .267 with 14 home runs and 32 RBIs. He is batting .196 with three homers and seven RBIs in 24 games this season.

"I think if it was into September, he'd probably play through it," Kotsay said. "But being that it's April, I'm glad we erred on the side of caution and hope it's maybe just a 10-day thing."

In a corresponding move, the Athletics recalled infielder Darell Hernaiz, 22, from Triple-A Las Vegas. Hernaiz, the organization's No. 4 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, is 3-for-29 in 17 games for Oakland this season.

Hernaiz started at third base and Max Schuemann at second base in Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Yamamoto, a rookie right-hander, gave up four hits and one walk and struck out seven while throwing 97 pitches. One of his least comfortable moments came when he snagged a line drive from Washington's Eddie Rosario in the fifth inning.

Yamamoto (2-1) was greeted by a hug from manager Dave Roberts when he reached the dugout at the end of the sixth.

Alex Vesia worked a scoreless seventh with three strikeouts before Daniel Hudson gave up a run in the eighth. Evan Phillips worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his seventh save.

Mookie Betts, Enrique Hernandez and Freddie Freeman all had two hits as the Dodgers won their fourth consecutive game. After a productive first two games in the series, Los Angeles star Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4, striking out twice.

Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore (2-2) gave up only the home run among his seven hits allowed. He walked two and struck out four.

Joey Meneses had three of Washington's seven hits. The Nationals, who left seven runners on base, only scored four runs in the series and closed a 2-4 homestand.

Teoscar Hernandez led off the second inning with his sixth long ball of the season and his first home run in 11 games. Before the right fielder's blast, he had gone 5-for-20 against the Nationals this season.

It was the second homer Gore allowed across his five starts this year.

Through five innings, the only hits for Washington were doubles by Meneses and Jacob Young.

Freeman's eighth-inning double increased the Dodgers' lead to 2-0. The Nationals scored on Meneses' one-out single in the bottom of the eighth.

Los Angeles won four of six meetings in the season series.

Colorado trailed 9-4 entering the eighth but rallied against San Diego's bullpen. Goodman started the comeback with a three-run homer off of Wandy Peralta (1-1).

Jacob Stallings followed with a single, Ezequiel Tovar walked and Brenton Doyle singled to make it 9-8. A passed ball by catcher Luis Campusano brought home Tovar with the tying run and Elias Diaz delivered an RBI single to left to put the Rockies in front.

Justin Lawrence struck out Ha-Seong Kim to end the game and pick up his second save.

Elehuris Montero also went deep, Doyle had three hits, Jake Cave had two singles and Diaz drove in three runs to help the Rockies split the four-game series.

Tyler Kinley (1-0) tossed an inning of relief to pick up the win for Colorado.

Jurickson Profar homered among his two hits, Kim also had a home run and Xander Bogaerts finished with two hits for the Padres.

Neither starter made it past the fourth inning. San Diego's Randy Vasquez was pulled after allowing four runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings, and Rockies starter Dakota Hudson came out after giving up six runs on six hits in 3 1/3 innings.

Colorado scored first for just the fourth time this season on Diaz's sacrifice fly in the first inning, but the Padres answered in the second when Campusano scored on a groundout.

Profar's RBI single and a two-run homer from Kim, his fourth of the season, gave San Diego a 4-1 lead in the third but the Rockies tied it on Diaz's RBI groundout and Montero's two-run homer. It was his first of the season.

The Padres went back in front in the fourth on Bogaerts' RBI double and a sacrifice fly by Jake Cronenworth. Profar's two-run homer in the seventh, his third, made it 8-4 and Eguy Rosario's run-scoring single in the eighth made it a five-run game.

The five-inning contest marked their third straight victory by one run and gave the Royals their first series win against the Blue Jays since April 15-18, 2021.

Perez lined a first-pitch, two-run homer down the left-field line in the first inning. His seventh home run of the year gave him 837 career RBIs, tying him with Mike Sweeney for fifth all-time in franchise history. Perez is batting .375 with five homers and 15 RBIs in his last 12 games and hit .435 with eight RBIs during the club's 4-3 homestand.

Perez's home run, his seventh this season, snapped a career-best 21 2/3 scoreless innings streak by Toronto starter Jose Berrios (4-1).

Berrios surrendered two runs on three hits and three walks with one strikeout in five innings. Four of the five runs allowed by Berrios in his six starts this year have scored via home runs.

Cole Ragans (1-2) rebounded from his career-worst start against Baltimore on Saturday to hurl five innings, allowing a run on three hits and three walks while striking out four.

Ragans pitched out of trouble in the second by retiring Alejandro Kirk on a liner with runners at the corners. The left-hander was assisted in the fifth inning on a diving, over-the-shoulder catch at the warning track by center fielder Kyle Isbel of a George Springer flyball.

With one out in the Toronto fourth, Justin Turner doubled and scored on Ernie Clement's single to center.

A steady downpour gradually became heavier as the game progressed. Before the sixth inning began, umpires and managers discussed at length the damp field conditions and the field was covered by a tarp. The game was eventually called after a delay of three hours and 38 minutes.

The Royals are 14-2 when allowing fewer than four runs, the most such wins in the majors.

In dropping 3 of 4 to Kansas City, Toronto lost its first series since losing 2 of 3 to the Yankees on April 5-7.

Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Smith hit solo homers for Texas, which lost for the fourth time in its past six games.

Mariners ace Luis Castillo (2-4) won his second straight start as Seattle took two of three games in the series to pull a half-game ahead of the defending World Series champions in the division. The right-hander went six innings and allowed two runs on four hits, with two walks and six strikeouts.

Seattle closer Andres Munoz retired the side in order in the ninth to record his third save of the season.

Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney (0-3) took the loss. He gave up four runs on five hits over six innings, with no walks and seven strikeouts.

Urias broke a 2-2 tie by going deep to left-center field off Heaney with one out in the top of the fifth inning. The homer, on a 1-0 fastball, also scored Dylan Moore, who led off with a double to left.

The Rangers pulled within 4-3 on an unearned run in the seventh. Wyatt Langford reached on a one-out fielding error by shortstop Moore and scored as pinch-hitter Jonah Heim and Marcus Semien singled with two outs.

The Mariners, who have won seven of their past nine games, took a 2-0 lead in the first as Julio Rodriguez lined a leadoff single to center and, two outs later, France hit a 2-0 fastball the opposite way over the right-field wall.

The Rangers halved their deficit with two outs in the bottom of the inning as Lowe -- who made his season debut Saturday after being sidelined with a right oblique strain -- lined a 1-2 slider over the wall in right-center.

Texas tied it with one out in the bottom of the fourth as Smith hit a first-pitch fastball out to right field.

The Mariners were without shortstop J.P. Crawford, who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day with a right oblique strain. Catcher Cal Raleigh returned after missing Wednesday's game following dental surgery to extract a tooth.

The Rangers' Corey Seager served as the designated hitter after leaving Wednesday's game in the seventh inning with a left shin contusion sustained when he was hit by a pitch.

With the game tied at 1, Bryan Abreu entered the game out of the Houston bullpen to oppose the Cubs' top prospect.

Crow-Armstrong greeted him with a deep fly to right to give Chicago the a two-run advantage and saddle Houston's Rafael Montero with his first loss of the season.

Recalled on Wednesday with Cody Bellinger placed on the injured list, Crow-Armstrong was hitless in his first 16 MLB at-bats before digging in against Abreu. He provided the needed jolt for a Chicago offense that went 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position Thursday.

Right-hander Justin Verlander started for Houston and got one out in the fifth before exiting the game. Verlander allowed three hits -- all to Nico Hoerner.

The veteran had to work through trouble due to control issues. He walked four batters but managed to escape, including in the first inning when the Cubs loaded the bases with nobody out.

Houston took the lead in the top of the first when Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman had back-to-back singles and Yordan Alvarez drove in Altuve with a sacrifice fly. The base hit was the 1,000th career hit for Bregman.

Cubs starter Javier Assad outlasted Verlander and pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and one run with five strikeouts. Hayden Wesneski (2-0) came on and twirled 2 1/3 perfect innings in relief and former Astros reliever Hector Neris came on for the save in the ninth with some fireworks between frames.

The Cubs' right-hander walked Alvarez and Kyle Tucker on 19 total pitches to start the inning, but quickly recovered by forcing three consecutive groundouts to pick up his third save this season.

Astros manager Joe Espada was ejected before Houston came to bat in the ninth for arguing with home plate umpire Jansen Visconti.

On the 10th pitch of his at-bat against Boston starter Chase Anderson (0-1) with the bags packed, Ramirez sent a no-doubt drive into the right-field seats for his second homer of the series.

In the seventh, after the Red Sox clawed back to make it 5-4, Ramirez singled for his third hit, stole second and went to third on catcher Reese McGuire's throwing error. Ramirez then scored on another McGuire miscue and Cleveland held on to take two of three from Boston with its ninth win in 11 games.

Rafael Devers posted his second straight three-hit game and Rob Refsnyder had two hits with an RBI for the Red Sox, who completed a 4-2 road trip despite the loss.

Boston loaded the bases against Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie with one out in the second, but the right-hander fanned Ceddanne Rafaela and Jarren Duran to get out unscathed.

Boston got two runs back against McKenzie in the third. Devers led off with a single and scored on a triple by Refsnyder, who came home on Wilyer Abreu's sacrifice fly.

McKenzie lasted four innings, allowing two runs on six hits, walking two and fanning seven.

After stranding runners on second and third without a run in the fifth, Boston got two in the sixth against Nick Sandlin. David Hamilton was hit by a pitch and McGuire recorded his second single. Both advanced on Sandlin's wild pitch, which was followed by Rafaela's RBI groundout and Duran's run-scoring single.

Cleveland's Hunter Gaddis (1-0) got the win and Emmanuel Clase retired the side in the ninth for his eighth save.

Starter Zack Wheeler (2-3) allowed one hit over six shutout innings to record the win for the Phillies, who earned a split of the four-game series with their second shutout in four days. Wheeler struck out eight and walked four in recording his second straight win.

Wheeler extended his scoreless streak to 13 1/3 innings in posting his second straight scoreless start, and third this season.

Trea Turner had three hits, while Harper and Bryson Stott had two hits. Stott drove in two with a two-out, third inning triple that put Philadelphia on top, 2-0.

Cincinnati starter Nick Martinez (0-1) took the loss, allowing five runs on a career-high tying 11 hits over six innings. Martinez returned to the rotation after Frankie Montas went on the injured list with a bruised forearm.

After missing the first three games of the four-game series, Harper picked up where he left off against Cincinnati, drilling a two-run homer in a four-run third inning as the Phillies built a 4-0 lead.

The third-inning blast reached several rows deep up the right field bleachers for his fifth homer of the season, four of which have been at the expense of Cincinnati pitching.

Harper had three homers, including a grand slam, in a 9-4 win on April 2 in Philadelphia.

Harper fouled a ball off the outside of his left knee in the fifth inning and went down to one knee. Two pitches later he lined a grounder to short for his second hit.

The Reds had a big chance in the third when they loaded the bases against Wheeler but couldn't push across a run.

Following a walk to Jeimer Candelario, Santiago Espinal singled to right for Cincinnati's first hit. Two outs later, Elly De La Cruz walked to load the bases. Spencer Steer lined a ball down the left field line just foul before flying out to the warning track in right to end the threat.

The Mets designated Tonkin, 34, for assignment -- for the second time this month -- on Monday.

The Mets previously DFA'd Tonkin on April 5 before trading him to the Minnesota Twins a few days later. The Mets brought him back last week after the Twins DFA'd him on April 13.

Tonkin is 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA in six relief appearances this season with the Mets and Twins.

Tonkin is 11-8 with a 4.44 ERA in 192 games (no starts) with the Twins (2013-17, 2024), Atlanta Braves (2023) and Mets. From 2018-22 he spent time pitching in Japan, Mexico and the independent Atlantic League.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated right-hander McKinley Moore for assignment.

It was the second multi-homer game of the season for Julien. Ryan Jeffers, Carlos Santana and Jose Miranda also homered and Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with a run scored for Minnesota which won for the fifth time in its last six games.

Cole Sands (1-0) picked up the win with an inning of hitless relief and Griffin Jax picked up his fourth save.

Andrew Vaughn doubled and had two hits and a run scored and Korey Lee also had two hits for Chicago which lost its seventh straight game and ninth in a row at Target Field. Tanner Banks (0-1), who gave up a run on three consecutive singles without retiring a batter, suffered the loss in relief.

Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Minnesota starter Simeon Woods Richardson who was making his first career start at Target Field. Eloy Jimenez led off the inning with the walk and Robbie Grossman and Vaughn followed with back-to-back singles to load the bases with no outs. Kevin Pillar then drove in Jimenez with a sacrifice fly but Woods Richardson got out of the jam with back-to-back strikeouts of Paul DeJong and Lee.

The White Sox made it 2-0 in the fourth when Vaughn doubled to the gap in right-center and came around to score one out later on a single by DeJong, who snapped an 0-for-15 streak with the hit.

Minnesota claimed a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning.

Julien led off with a 412-foot homer to left-center. On the next pitch, Jeffers connected for his fourth homer this season, a line drive into the front row of the bleachers in left that chased starter Michael Soroka.

Larnach greeted Banks with a single, advanced to second on a check-swing infield single by Max Kepler and then scored the go-ahead run on a single by Willi Castro.

Julien made it 4-2 in the seventh with his seventh homer of the season, a line drive into the flower bed in left. The Twins added two more runs in the eighth off reliever Steven Wilson on back-to-back two-out home runs by Santana and Miranda.

Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the ninth against reliever Steven Okert. Jax then came in to strike out Jimenez but Lopez scored when Grossman's grounder went off the glove of Santana for an error to make it 6-3. Vaughn grounded out to second to end the game.

Rhys Hoskins went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and William Contreras went 2-for-4 with a home run to help the Brewers split the four-game series.

Jared Koenig (1-0) gave up two hits in the seventh inning for the win. Trevor Megill pitched a clean ninth for his first save.

Aroldis Chapman (0-2) allowed two runs on two hits in one inning.

Sanchez's homer to right field off Chapman gave Milwaukee a 6-5 lead and Oliver Dunn's single in the top of the ninth drove in Willy Adames to make it 7-5.

In the fifth inning, Contreras reached on a single to shallow right field and stole second. Hoskins doubled on a shot to left field that popped out of the glove of Jack Suwinski. Contreras scored on the play, putting Milwaukee ahead 4-3.

Joey Bart drew a two-out walk and then scored to tie it 4-4 on Suwinski's double in the bottom of the fifth. Jared Triolo singled on a fly ball to right field, driving in Suwinski and giving Pittsburgh a 5-4 lead.

Contreras gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when he belted a homer to left off Pirates starter Mitch Keller.

In the bottom of the first, Bryan Reynolds singled and Rowdy Tellez drew a walk to bring up Bart, who cleared the bases with a 419-foot shot to center that put the hosts ahead 3-1.

The Brewers tied it 3-3 in the top of the third.

Sal Frelick and Contreras each drew walks to start the inning. After Adames struck out, Jake Bauers singled to right, bringing Frelick home to cut it to 3-2. Hoskins followed with a single off the glove of Reynolds in right field, scoring Contreras.

Brewers starter Freddy Peralta pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving up five runs on five hits, with five walks and five strikeouts.

Keller gave up four runs on six hits and fanned seven in five innings for the Pirates.

He had been sidelined since April 7 with a right rotator cuff strain.

Sborz, 30, threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings over three relief appearances before landing on the injured list. He is in his fourth season with Texas and was 6-7 with a 5.50 ERA in 44 games last season.

In a corresponding move, the Rangers optioned right-hander Grant Anderson to Triple-A Round Rock.

Anderson, 26, has no decisions and a 12.00 ERA in four relief appearances this season, giving up four earned runs in three innings. He held Seattle scoreless in the ninth inning of the Rangers' 5-1 win on Wednesday.

The move is retroactive to Wednesday, when Crawford was scratched before the game at Texas due to soreness.

Crawford, 29, is batting .198 through 22 games this season with two homers, nine RBIs and 13 runs.

He is a career .250 hitter with 258 RBIs in 690 games with the Philadelphia Phillies (2017-18) and Mariners.

Seattle selected the contract of infielder Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding transaction.

Rivas, who was not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers, has not made his MLB debut.

Rivas, 26, is batting .308 with two homers, 11 RBIs and five stolen bases in 18 games this season with Tacoma.

The Mariners moved right-hander Gregory Santos (lat strain) to the 60-day IL to make room for Rivas on the roster.

Fellow right-hander Will Klein was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Addison Barger led off the fifth inning with a comebacker that hit Marsh. Undaunted, Marsh picked up the ball and threw to first to get the out before exiting the game.

"We feel like we got pretty lucky," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said after his team's 3-2 win. "It got him in like just above the elbow, on the forearm, but squaring him up. I mean, you could see (the laces) pretty good.

"He was saying, 'Oh, it's coming back. It's coming back.' We've got to use our heads there a little bit."

Marsh, 25, is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in five starts this season. He struggled to a 3-9 mark with a 5.69 ERA in 17 games (eight starts) as a rookie in 2023.

Klein, 24, has yet to make his major league debut. He has recorded three saves without allowing any earned runs in nine relief appearances this season with the Storm Chasers.

Woods Richardson (1-0, 1.50 ERA) recorded the first win of his major-league career during the nightcap of a doubleheader on April 13. He allowed one run on two hits and struck out five in six innings of the Twins' 4-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Woods Richardson, 23, is 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA in three career appearances (two starts) with Minnesota. He has yet to face the White Sox.

To make room for Woods Richardson on the 26-man roster, the Twins optioned right-hander Ronny Henriquez to St. Paul. Henriquez, 23, allowed two hits over two scoreless innings in relief on Monday in his lone appearance this season with Minnesota.

In a corresponding move, the Phillies optioned infielder Kody Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Harper, 31, went on leave Monday, anticipating the birth of his third child with his wife, Kayla. The Harpers haven't shared yet any news of the birth.

Harper has a six-game hitting streak, during which he is hitting .381 with seven RBIs. On the season, the two-time National League MVP is batting .241 with four home runs and 14 RBIs.

Clemens, 27, was 2-for-4 with three RBIs on Monday in Cincinnati, his only major league game of the season.

Harris smacked an 0-1 fastball from Tanner Scott (0-4) past center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. to plate automatic runner Ronald Acuna Jr. A.J. Minter (4-1) earned the win after pitching a scoreless top of the inning.

The Braves improved to 5-1 against Miami this season and are 3-0 in extra innings.

The Marlins tied the score with two runs in the ninth against Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias. After the first three batters reached on singles to load the bases, Josh Bell smashed a hard grounder that went off the chest of Matt Olson and caromed into the camera well. The error allowed two runs to score and handed Iglesias his first blown save of the season.

Cardinals 5, Diamondbacks 1

Lars Nootbaar hit a two-run double to propel St. Louis past visiting Arizona.

After defeating the Cardinals 14-1 on Tuesday, the Diamondbacks left seven runners on base, went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and hit into three double plays.

Cardinals starting pitcher Kyle Gibson (2-2) allowed one run on five hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked two.

Mets 8, Giants 2

Francisco Lindor belted a pair of two-run home runs and New York salvaged the finale of its three-game series against host San Francisco.

Lindor went 4-for-5 with four RBIs, and Tyrone Taylor finished 2-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs. Jeff McNeil contributed a double and a single in the Mets' 10-hit attack.

Wilmer Flores had two hits for the Giants, who had a two-game winning streak end.

Yankees 7, Athletics 3

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first inning after nearly striking out and host New York recorded a victory over Oakland.

Judge hit his fourth homer of the season after Oakland starting pitcher Joe Boyle (1-4) was called for a balk. Doyle was called for the balk after throwing a called third strike to Judge, who began walking back to the dugout before returning to finish the at-bat.
