Rays 2, Orioles 0

Chris Archer is best known for his fastball and slider.

On Monday night, Archer's changeup helped him end a long personal struggle.

Archer struck out 10 over 6 2/3 innings to end a 10-start winless streak, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Kevin Gausman and the Baltimore Orioles 2-0.

"It's been a good pitch for me for at least the past calendar year but I just never used it," Archer said. "In the bullpen it was feeling good. Got positive results. Now it's a legit weapon."

Archer allowed six runs and 10 hits, including four homers, over five innings in a loss at Baltimore on April 8.

"Baseball presents challenges like that all the time," Archer said. "I faced these guys and it was a completely different outcome. That's why baseball is such a beautiful game. Anything can happen on any night, and that's why you don't dwell on what happened yesterday. Just look forward and trust you're going to have positive results."

Archer (1-4) allowed five hits to get his first win since beating the Orioles on Aug. 31. The Rays opening day starter was 0-7 during the winless stretch.

Archer also ended a 10-start winless run at home, which included six losses, dating to a June 23 victory over Toronto.

Curt Casali caught Archer for the first time this season and also drove in both runs.

"Frankly, I didn't think it was going to be as dominate as it was," Casali said of Archer's changeup. "That's a great tool for him."

Gausman (0-1) returned from the disabled list and struck out seven while pitching one-run ball through five innings. The right-hander missed the start of the season with a right shoulder strain.

"Honestly, it felt like I hadn't pitched in years," Gausman said. "At times I had to step off the mound and refocus and try to tell myself to calm down."

Alex Colome got the final out for his fourth save to complete the five-hitter.

Steven Souza Jr. drew a walk and later scored from first to make it 1-0 on Casali's two-out double in the fifth. It was Casali's third hit in 27 at-bats.

After Gausman hit Logan Forsythe with a pitch and walked Steve Pearce to load the bases, the right-hander got a flyball from Evan Longoria that ended the fifth.

Tampa Bay went up 2-0 in the sixth when Vance Worley, who replaced Brian Matusz with the bases loaded and two outs, hit Casali with a pitch. Worley avoided further damage by getting an inning-ending grounder from Forsythe.

Enny Romero, Erasmo Ramirez and Xavier Cedeno combined to get the ball to Colome.

Pedro Alvarez doubled twice off Archer but was stranded both times.

Tigers 7, Athletics 3

Tyler Collins directed an obscene gesture at the home fans just before Jordan Zimmermann ended his scoreless innings streak, but Miguel Cabrera homered twice and Detroit snapped a skid with a win over Oakland.

Zimmermann (4-0) gave up a run for the first time with the Tigers following 24 1/3 scoreless innings, and Collins seemed to take the brunt of the blame from fans.

Collins extended the middle finger on his left hand and waved it from right to left, and also appeared to yell an obscenity to the booing crowd.

He lost a flyball from Oakland’s Marcus Semien in the lights, and an error charged to left fielder Justin Upton allowed Semien to reach third. Semien scored after Billy Burns, the next batter, hit a single to end Zimmermann’s unblemished start.

Twins 4, Indians 3

Oswaldo Arcia led off the ninth inning with a home run off of Zach McAllister to lift Minnesota over Cleveland.

Brian Dozier added a two-run double and the heavily taxed Twins bullpen gave up one run over the final 4 1-3 innings to snap a three-game skid. Kevin Jepsen (1-3) pitched the ninth for the win.

Yan Gomes homered and Michael Brantley made his season debut with a pinch-hit appearance in the eighth inning for the Indians, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. McAllister (1-1) gave up his first run in nine appearances this season.

White Sox 7, Blue Jays 5

Todd Frazier doubled home the go-ahead run in a five-run seventh inning and Chicago rallied to beat Toronto.

Frazier went 2 for 3 with three RBIs, Jimmy Rollins had three hits, and Adam Eaton had two hits and two RBIs as the White Sox overcame a four-run deficit to win their fourth straight.

Zach Putnam (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win. Dan Jennings got one out, Matt Albers worked the eighth and David Robertson finished for his eighth save.

Troy Tulowitzki made the final out when he was hit by Michael Saunders’ infield hopper while running from first to second.

Brett Cecil (0-4) took the loss.

Mariners 3, Astros 2

Taijuan Walker tied his career-high with 11 strikeouts over seven innings, Leonys Martin and Kyle Seager hit solo homers and Seattle beat Houston for its eighth win in 11 games.

Walker was overpowering in his fourth start of the season. The 23-year-old went seven innings and struck out the final six batters he faced, setting down the Astros in order in the sixth and seventh innings. He got Erik Kratz looking to end the seventh on a 97 mph fastball.

It was the third time in his young career Walker (2-0) has struck out 11.

Martin hit his fourth homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole leading off the third off Houston starter Doug Fister (1-3), and Seager followed an inning later with a solo shot to deep right-center field. It was Seager's 100th career home run.

Angels 6, Royals 1

Albert Pujols hit two homers and Mike Trout added another, powering Los Angeles over Kansas City.

Garrett Richards (1-3) pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning of his first win of the season, while the Angels' struggling offense awoke with a three-run first inning followed by homers from its two biggest stars.

Pujols connected on solo shots in the third and fifth innings against Ian Kennedy (2-2). The homers were the 564th and 565th of Pujols' career, moving him out of a tie with Reggie Jackson and into sole possession of 13th place on baseball's career list.

Trout added a solo shot in the seventh, his fourth homer of the season.

Salvador Perez drove in the Royals' only run.

National League

Giants 5, Padres 4

Hunter Pence hit a home run and sacrifice fly, Buster Posey also homered to back Madison Bumgarner's first win since opening day and San Francisco held on to beat San Diego.

Bumgarner (2-2) struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings to snap a two-start skid with his first victory in four starts since April 4 at Milwaukee.

Angel Pagan drove in two runs from his new No. 9 hole as the Giants won for the third time in four games following a five-game losing streak.

Pence connected for his fourth home run leading off the fourth to put San Francisco ahead 2-1 and Pagan hit an RBI double four batters later. Pence added a sacrifice fly the next inning. Posey hit his third homer in the seventh.

Marlins 3, Dodgers 2

Giancarlo Stanton homered, doubled and drove in two runs to lead the Marlins past the Dodgers in Miami manager Don Mattingly's return to Los Angeles.

Mattingly, who managed the Dodgers from 2011-15, received a mix of boos and cheers before the start of his first game against his former club.

Stanton ensured a winning return for him, blasting a solo home run to open the scoring in the fourth inning and a tying RBI double in the fifth. Derek Dietrich put the Marlins ahead for good with an RBI triple in the sixth.

Yasiel Puig and Trayce Thompson hit solo homers in the fourth inning for the Dodgers.

Miami's Wei-Yin Chen (1-1) pitched into the seventh inning for his first win with the Marlins while Dodgers rookie Ross Stripling (0-1) took the loss in his first career decision.

Pirates 6, Rockies 1

Matt Joyce hit a three-run homer, Jeff Locke threw six scoreless innings and Pittsburgh beat Colorado in a game that was briefly delayed by rain.

Locke (1-2) allowed five hits as he bounced back from a clunker in his last outing. He struck out a season-high eight, including five on called third strikes.

That drew the ire of the Rockies, who weren't too pleased with home-plate umpire Lance Barrett's low strike zone. Manager Walt Weiss was ejected after the fourth for arguing and outfielder Ryan Raburn followed in the six.

Chad Bettis (2-1) had his start moved up a day with Jorge De La Rosa under the weather. Bettis gave up four runs in 6 2/3 innings.

A.J. Schugel picked up his first major league save by pitching 2 1/3 innings.

Diamondbacks 12, Cardinals 7

Jean Segura had four hits, including a go-ahead three-run home run in the sixth inning, to lead Arizona over St. Louis.

Segura's homer came during a nine-run inning that made ace Zack Greinke a winner despite allowing seven runs.

Greinke (2-2) lasted 6 2/3 innings and gave up 11 hits.

Matt Bowman (0-1) gave up a run-scoring single to Chris Owings, his second RBI of the night, and Greinke helped himself by bouncing a single through a drawn-in infield that was expecting a bunt with two strikes.
