American League

Royals 5, Athletics 3

Jeremy Guthrie and Salvador Perez delivered a milestone win for Kansas City.

Guthrie struck out a season-high seven batters to top 1,000 for his career and Perez homered for his 500th career hit to help Kansas City complete a three-game sweep of Oakland with a victory on Sunday.

"We had two big milestones today, which I think are big," manager Ned Yost said. "So they got that behind them and now they just keep moving forward."

Omar Infante hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run sixth inning for the Royals, who have won five of six to open a nine-game road trip.

Guthrie (6-5) allowed two runs in six innings and reached 1,005 career strikeouts in his 12th big league season.

"It's 1,000 more than I thought I'd probably ever thought I'd have," he said. "It's a great accomplishment to be able to get there and have the endurance to get to that number."

Perez took much less time to reach his big number, getting there in his fifth season with a homer in the eighth inning off Edward Mujica that provided insurance for the Royals.

"It means a lot," he said. "It's pretty special to me."

The Royals bullpen did the rest with Wade Davis pitching the ninth for his ninth save in as many chances as Kansas City swept the A's for the first time since 2008.

Jesse Chavez (4-7) was hurt by an error by third baseman Max Muncy in Kansas City's three-run sixth inning as Oakland lost its third straight following a season-long five-game winning streak.

"We were playing really good ball lately and this happens," Muncy said. "It's really frustrating that we had good momentum going as a team and we were playing really good ball."

Billy Burns helped spark a two-run third inning for Oakland when he led off with a single to extend his hitting streak to 16 straight games.

Ben Zobrist drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly and Josh Reddick made it 2-0 when his popup to shallow left fell between shortstop Alcides Escobar and left fielder Alex Gordon for his 500th career hit.

A poor defensive play by Oakland helped the Royals take the lead in the sixth. With runners on first and third and one out, Perez hit a slow grounder to third base. Muncy charged and his throw home was high. Mike Moustakas scored on the fielder's choice and the runners advanced to second and third on Muncy's throwing error.

Alex Rios tied the game with a sacrifice fly and Infante gave the Royals their first lead with his two-out hit that knocked out Chavez.

Blue Jays 3, Rangers 2

Josh Donaldson hit his 18th home run, Drew Hutchison won his fifth straight decision and Toronto beat Texas.

Donaldson got two hits as the Blue Jays sent Texas to its eighth loss in 10 games.

Hutchison (8-1) allowed one unearned run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He improved to 6-1 with a 2.12 ERA in eight home starts. Roberto Osuna got four outs for his second save as the Blue Jays beat the Rangers for the 12th time in 16 meetings.

Rougned Odor doubled to start the ninth, but Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre flied out before Osuna struck out Mitch Moreland on three pitches.

Chi Chi Gonzalez (2-3) lost his third straight decision. He gave up three runs and four hits in six innings.

Orioles 4, Indians 0 (1)

Orioles 8, Indians 0 (2)

Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of four-hit ball to win his fourth straight decision, and Baltimore breezed past Cleveland to complete a doubleheader sweep.

In the afternoon game, Ubaldo Jimenez (7-3) tossed eight crisp innings and Baltimore got home runs from Jimmy Paredes and Manny Machado.

The sweep boosted the Orioles to the top of the AL East by percentage points over Tampa Bay. Baltimore (41-34) has won 15 of 19 to move a season-high seven games above .500. It was the first time since Sept. 6, 1974, that the Orioles registered shutouts in both games of a doubleheader, according to STATS. The opposition that day was also Cleveland.

Tillman (6-7) struck out six and walked none, and hasn't lost since May 31. After Baltimore scored two unearned runs in the second inning, Chris Davis, Travis Snider and Chris Parmelee homered in a six-run fourth that made it 8-0.

The Indians summoned Toru Murata (0-1) from the minors to make his major league debut in the nightcap and allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings. Trevor Bauer (6-5) gave up four runs, five hits and a walk over seven innings in the earlier game for Cleveland.

Angels 3, Mariners 2 (10)

Kole Calhoun scored the winning run on a wild pitch by Tom Wilhelmsen in the 10th after Albert Pujols grounded into a bases-loaded double play against a five-man infield, and Los Angeles beat Seattle.

Trevor Gott (1-0) earned his first major league victory with a perfect 10th.

Johnny Giavotella led off the Angels' half of the 10th with a line-drive single off the glove of Wilhelmsen (1-2). Calhoun followed with a hit-and-run single, and Mike Trout was intentionally walked for the second straight time.

Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon then motioned left fielder Dustin Ackley in for a five-man infield, and Pujols grounded into a 6-2-3 double play started by shortstop Brad Miller. But Wilhelmsen uncorked his first wild pitch of the season on a full count with runners at second and third and rookie Kyle Kubitza at the plate.

Tigers 5, White Sox 4

James McCann hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to complete a dramatic Detroit comeback, and the Tigers beat Chicago.

Detroit trailed 4-0 before scoring four runs in the eighth off Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija. Victor Martinez tied it with a three-run double.

Joakim Soria (3-0) pitched a perfect top of the ninth, and McCann's one-out drive off Zach Putnam (1-3) cleared the fence in left field to end the game.

It was McCann's third homer of the year and his first since May 21, when the rookie catcher went deep in the 11th inning to beat Houston.

National League

Cardinals 4, Cubs 1

Carlos Martinez was stingy before and after a lengthy rain delay, and St. Louis hit a season-high six doubles to sweep Chicago with a victory that extended its winning streak to six games.

Jason Heyward, Yadier Molina and Matt Carpenter had run-scoring doubles for St. Louis, which is a major league-best 51-24. The Cardinals' 29-7 home record also is tops in the majors and is the second-best start in franchise history, trailing only a 31-4 start by the 1885 Browns, according to STATS.

Martinez (9-3) allowed one run on two hits in six innings with six strikeouts for the Cardinals, whose home start is the best in the divisional era since 1969, topping the Expos' 28-7 record in 1979.

The Cubs have lost a season-worst five in a row. Jason Hammel (5-3) gave up four runs and six hits in four innings.

Nationals 3, Phillies 2 (1)

Phillies 8, Nationals 5 (2)

Cesar Hernandez had four hits, and Philadelphia stopped Washington's eight-game winning streak with a victory over the Nationals in the second half of a doubleheader.

Maikel Franco drove in three runs for Philadelphia, which had dropped three in a row. Severino Gonzalez (3-2) allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Odubel Herrera had three hits and drove in a run.

Ian Desmond and Jose Lobaton homered for Washington, but Tanner Roark (3-3) was knocked out in the fourth inning.

In the opener, Stephen Strasburg (5-5) struck out a season-high nine in seven strong innings to lead the Nationals to a victory. Jeff Francoeur homered for the Phillies, and Kevin Correia (0-2) took the loss.

Dodgers 2, Marlins 0

Zack Greinke pitched 7 2/3 innings for his first victory since May 5, and Los Angeles took the rubber game of its series against Miami.

Greinke (6-2) allowed four hits and held the opposition without a run for his third start in a row, extending his scoreless streak to 20 2/3 innings.

Adrian Gonzalez had three hits, including an RBI double. Howie Kendrick had two hits and drove in a run.

Two relievers completed a five-hitter for the Dodgers' 11th shutout. Kenley Jansen pitched around a leadoff double in the ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances. The Dodgers have allowed 13 runs in their past eight games, and the bullpen has thrown 12 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in the past five games.

Jose Urena (1-4) pitched five innings, and a defensive misplay resulted in the only run he allowed.

Braves 2, Pirates 1

Alex Wood pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning to win for the first time in five starts, and Atlanta edged Pittsburgh.

Jace Peterson hit his third homer for the Braves as they ended a season-high, five-game losing streak. Wood (5-5) scattered five hits and struck out eight without a walk in 7 1/3 innings. Jason Grilli gave up a run in the ninth, but earned his 21st save.

Atlanta didn't do much against Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke (4-4), managing only an RBI single by Markakis in the fifth. Peterson homered off reliever Vance Worley in the seventh to give the Braves a little breathing room.

Pirates star Andrew McCutchen went 1 for 4 after getting hit on the left elbow Saturday by a pitch from Julio Teheran.

Giants 6, Rockies 3

Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning and hit his eighth career homer, helping San Francisco beat Colorado.

Buster Posey drove in three runs for San Francisco, and Matt Duffy was a single short of the cycle. Brandon Crawford connected for his 10th homer, matching his career-best total from last season.

Bumgarner (8-4) allowed two runs on Nolan Arenado's 23rd homer in the first and five hits in 7 2/3 innings. He also belted a solo shot in the seventh and recorded his 1,000th career strikeout.

Arenado added another homer in the ninth against Sergio Romo. Javier Lopez then retired Carlos Gonzalez, and Santiago Casilla got the final two outs for his 21st save. Kyle Kendrick (3-10) was charged with five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in the loss.

Diamondbacks 6, Padres 4

Welington Castillo, Jake Lamb and David Peralta homered, leading Arizona over San Diego.

Chase Anderson (4-2) pitched seven innings to help Arizona snap a three-game losing streak. Brad Ziegler worked the ninth for his 12th save.

Derek Norris homered twice for San Diego, and Matt Kemp had a solo shot. The Padres were trying for their first three-game win streak in more than three weeks.

San Diego's Odrisamer Despaigne (3-6) allowed five runs — four earned — and three hits over 5 2/3 innings.

Interleague

Brewers 5, Twins 3

Ryan Braun and Adam Lind hit two-run homers in the eighth inning and Milwaukee beat Minnesota.

Down 5-1, the Twins rallied in the ninth. Torii Hunter, who homered twice Saturday, hit a two-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez. Two outs later, the Twins got a pair of singles before Brian Dozier looked at strike three for the final out.

Will Smith (4-0) retired the Twins in order in the eighth, helping the Brewers win the series.

It was tied at 1 when Jonathan Lucroy opened the Milwaukee eighth with a walk from reliever Casey Fien (2-3). Braun followed with his 15th home run.
