Angels 10, Athletics 9

Mike Trout is beginning to believe there might be something to the notion of having added power after the birth of a child.

The reigning AL MVP has certainly been on a tear since son Beckham was born. Trout homered twice Monday night, including a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning, as the Angels rallied from an early five-run deficit for a victory that snapped Oakland's nine-game winning streak.

“People ask me about this Dad power. I guess it is a thing,” Trout said. “There's nothing like being a Dad.”

With three hits in the series opener, Trout is 11 for 30 with six home runs and 11 RBIs in the past seven games. He rejoined the team in Seattle on Aug. 4 after his wife, Jessica, gave birth to Beckham on July 30.

“I am a little more relaxed. Leading up to it I was extremely worried about the coronavirus,” Trout said. “I didn't want to have it and come home. But we have been keeping it safe in the Trouthold, and everyone in the organization has been doing a good job.”

Anthony Rendon and Shohei Ohtani also homered for the Angels.

Trout's solo drive off Yusmeiro Petit (1-1) in the eighth helped Los Angeles stop a three-game skid. It was the 20th multi-homer game of Trout's career, which tied Tim Salmon and Vladimir Guerrero for the franchise record.

“We had a rough weekend. We weren’t doing our jobs when we had our chances," Trout said. "But this is a new homestand and we got a huge win against an Oakland team that was coming in hot.”

Los Angeles trailed 9-4 in the fourth before Trout began the rally with a two-run drive into the Angels' bullpen in left field. Ohtani had an RBI double in the inning to bring them to 9-7 and then tied it with a two-run homer to center in the sixth.

It was Ohtani's 44th career home run, which tied Tadahito Iguchi for fourth in the majors by a Japanese-born player.

The Angels' bullpen, which has struggled this season, allowed only two hits over the final five innings.

Noe Ramirez, Keynan Middleton, Felix Peña (1-0) and Ty Buttrey held Oakland scoreless. Buttrey earned his second save.

“They struggled early in the season, but hopefully the issue has resolved itself,” manager Joe Maddon said. “Normally it takes a month to get a bullpen in order and we are trying to do it more quickly.”

Matt Chapman homered twice and tied a career high with six RBIs for AL West-leading Oakland.

After the Angels got three runs in the first, Chapman put Oakland on the board as he lined Julio Teheran's fastball over the wall in left-center leading off the second. Chapman gave Oakland a 5-3 lead an inning later with a two-run drive to center for the fifth multi-homer game of his career.

Chapman's bases-loaded triple in the fourth extended the Athletics' lead to 8-4. But after Chapman scored when Mark Canha's shallow fly to left popped out of Justin Upton's glove, the A's managed only two hits over the final five innings.

“We had a couple of bad pitches, plus pretty good hitting lineup on their part, too,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. “Our guys have been pretty good this season and it was just a tough night. Tonight was an offensive night and hitters got their due. For a bullpen that’s been as good as we have been, we just gave up some runs tonight.”

Teheran retired the side in the first but ran into problems after that. The right-hander went only two-plus innings and allowed five runs on five hits.

Oakland's Sean Manaea also ran into early problems. The left-hander went 2 2/3 innings and was charged with four runs on seven hits.

Rendon had two hits to reach 1,000 for his career. The Angels' third baseman — who signed a seven-year, $245 million contract during the offseason — reached the milestone in the sixth inning with a line-drive single to center.

Rendon came into the game in an 0-for-21 slide but quickly snapped that with a two-run drive to left to extend Los Angeles' lead to 3-0 in the first.

Twins 4, Brewers 2

Eddie Rosario hit a grand slam, Randy Dobnak pitched five strong innings and Minnesota ended a four-game skid.

Dobnak (3-1) struck out three, allowed four hits, walked one and retired his last eight batters to continue his hot start to the season.

Keston Hiura homered and Orlando Arcia hit an RBI double for the Brewers. Adrian Houser (1-1) pitched five innings and gave up only those four runs on Rosario’s grand slam.

Tigers 5, White Sox 1

JaCoby Jones hit an inside-the-park home run and Detroit breezed past Chicago for its fourth straight victory.

Niko Goodrum homered and had four hits for the Tigers, who handed the White Sox their fifth loss in six games. It wasn’t all good news for Detroit, though. First baseman C.J. Cron exited with a left knee injury.

White Sox slugger Jose Abreu came up limping after grounding out in the eighth and left the game as well.

The Tigers improved to 9-5 on the year after losing 114 games in 2019.

Michael Fulmer pitched three scoreless innings for Detroit, and Daniel Norris (1-1) worked two.

Dallas Keuchel (2-2) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.

Mariners 10, Rangers 2

Kyle Seager hit a grand slam, Kyle Lewis and Dylan Moore also homered and Seattle won its first game at the new Texas ballpark, snapping the Rangers’ three-game winning streak.

Lewis put the Mariners up 4-2 with a three-run shot in the fifth inning off Kyle Gibson (0-2). Seager added his fifth career slam an inning later.

Justin Dunn (1-1) limited Texas to two runs over six innings for his first big league victory.

With the retractable roof opened at Globe Life Field during a game for the first time, the Mariners’ three homers were only one fewer than opponents had hit overall in the first eight games there. Their 10 runs were the most by any team — only twice before had both teams even combined for 10 runs in a game.

National League

Padres 2, Dodgers 1

Eric Hosmer singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the sixth inning, and San Diego beat the Dodgers in the series opener.

Joc Pederson bobbled the ball on Hosmer’s hit to left and couldn’t attempt a throw as Trent Grisham scored from second after Dustin May (1-1) walked him, giving the Padres a 2-1 lead.

Austin Hedges homered with two outs in the fifth to tie it at 1. It was Hedges’ third hit and first homer of the season and only the second home run given up by May.

Emilio Pagán retired Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger and Justin Turner in order in the eighth, and the Dodgers managed just four hits. Betts, Bellinger and Turner were 1 for 4 with a strikeout each. Los Angeles was 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

Cal Quantrill (2-0) got the victory with three innings of relief. He allowed two hits and struck out three.

Drew Pomeranz retired the side in the ninth for his third save.

Phillies 13, Braves 8

Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam, Bryce Harper blasted a three-run shot and Philadelphia got Aaron Nola his first win in nearly a year.

Nola (1-1) allowed one run, two hits and struck out 10 in eight innings. The ace right-hander was 0-5 in nine starts since his last win at Boston on August 20, 2019.

Roman Quinn, Jean Segura and J.T. Realmuto added solo shots for Philadelphia, which bounced back after getting swept in Sunday’s doubleheader to earn a split of the four-game series.

Braves lefty Sean Newcomb (0-2) allowed eight runs in 1 1/3 innings.

Diamondbacks 12, Rockies 8

Kole Calhoun hit a leadoff homer and a two-run double to lead Arizona’s 18-hit outburst in Colorado.

David Peralta and Ketel Marte got four hits each for the Diamondbacks. Alex Young (1-0) worked two innings of relief and Archie Bradley earned his fourth save.

Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon had four singles to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. He has 10 multi-hit games in that stretch, including the last five to raise his batting average to .484, tops in baseball. Blackmon has 12 hits in his last 15 at-bats.

Nolan Arenado also had four hits and Trevor Story homered for Colorado.

Calhoun set the tone with a leadoff homer against Jon Gray (0-2) and added a two-run double in a three-run seventh that gave Arizona a four-run lead.

Interleague

Astros 6, Giants 4

Lance McCullers Jr. pitched no-hit ball into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley and Carlos Correa drove in two runs each and Houston snapped a five-game skid.

McCullers (2-1) bounced back from one of the worst performances of his career with a gem, allowing one hit and striking out five in seven scoreless innings. The 26-year-old tied a career high by allowing eight runs in just 3 2/3 innings of a 14-7 loss at Arizona his last time out.

His only hit allowed Monday came when Donovan Solano extended his MLB-best hitting streak to 15 games with a double in the seventh.

San Francisco rookie starter Logan Webb (1-1) allowed four hits and five runs — only two earned because of two errors — in 3 1/3 innings.
