National League

Nationals 3, Phillies 2 (10)

Daniel Murphy turned to one of his most reliable strengths to win a game for Washington.

Murphy delivered on a day when his bobbleheads were given out to fans, hitting an opposite-field double to score Bryce Harper in the 10th inning and send Washington over Philadelphia.

"You don't take him for granted," manager Dusty Baker said. "You realize this guy is one of the best hitters in the world."

"That hit to left really doesn't surprise me because that is his bread and butter. This is how he made his living prior to him hitting the ball out of the ballpark in the (2015) playoffs until today. When a guy goes to the opposite field with authority, that's hard to teach," he said.

Shawn Kelley (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th inning. The Nationals' bullpen allowed only two baserunners and no runs in three inning.

The Phillies lost their fourth in a row. They took two of three from the Nationals in Philadelphia last weekend.

Washington has won three of four.

"It was a good way to start the weekend," Murphy said.

Harper opened the 10th with a single off Jeanmar Gomez (1-1), then made it home on Murphy's double into the left field corner.

"I was trying to score," Harper said. "You don't want to play extras. It's tough trying to go out there. Those extra innings, you don't want to do that to your bullpen."

Gomez (1-1), who was removed from the closer's role this week after earning 37 saves last season, threw a scoreless ninth before Washington broke through. Gomez has allowed seven runs in 5 1-3 innings this month.

"We go 10 or 12 innings, now are we going to run out of pitching," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "That's his job now to give us multiple innings."

Murphy extended his hitting streak to 10 games, capping a 2 for 5 day with the game-winning hit.

"It's just tough," Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp said. "It's one of those things where you made the pitch and got to tip your hat to Murph. He's a good hitter."

Phillies starter Aaron Nola allowed a run and six hits in five innings while striking out six. The right-hander has not surrendered a home run in his last five starts dating to last season.

Nola handed the bullpen a 2-1 lead, but the Nationals tied it on Anthony Rendon's RBI double off Edubray Ramos in the seventh.

Washington's Stephen Strasburg also got a no-decision after yielding two runs and striking out eight in seven innings. Baker considered going to the bullpen with Strasburg at 98 pitches through six but stuck with the right-hander.

"It wasn't an easy decision but it was the right decision," Baker said.

Pirates 4, Cubs 2

David Freese and Francisco Cervelli each drove in two runs, and the Pirates stopped a four-game skid.

Pittsburgh right-hander Gerrit Cole (1-1) allowed two runs in six innings, striking out five. The Cubs loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth inning before Tony Watson retired Ben Zobrist on a bouncer to shortstop for his third save.

Freese doubled twice and scored two runs. The 33-year-old third baseman has reached safely in 12 of his last 15 plate appearances.

The Pirates trailed 2-1 in the sixth when Freese hit a tying single and Cervelli had a two-run double.

Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (1-1) pitched five-plus innings and was charged with three runs and six hits. He allowed just one run during three wins against Pittsburgh last year.

Braves 5, Padres 2

Ender Inciarte hit the first home run in baseball's newest stadium, local product Nick Markakis drove in the first two runs and Atlanta beat San Diego in the regular-season debut for SunTrust Park.

Before a sellout crowd of 41,149 that included former President Jimmy Carter, Commissioner Rob Manfred and one-time home run king Hank Aaron, the Braves won their second straight game after a 1-6 start.

Julio Teheran (1-0) was a bit wild but lasted six innings. He gave up both San Diego runs, working around four walks and two hit batters. Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his second save.

Markakis, who grew up in nearby Woodstock, put the Braves ahead in the first with a two-run double off Jhoulys Chacin (1-2). Inciarte gave Atlanta some breathing room in the sixth with a two-run shot to right.

Dodgers 7, Diamondbacks 1

Clayton Kershaw outpitched former teammate Zack Greinke, leading Dodgers to the win.

Kershaw (2-1) allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in 8 1/3 innings. The left-hander lost his bid for a shutout when Chris Owings doubled in a run in the ninth.

Greinke (1-1), who left Los Angeles for a big free-agent deal with Arizona after the 2015 season, lasted just five innings. He was charged with five runs and 10 hits.

Andrew Toles hit a two-run homer for Los Angeles in the eighth.

Giants 8, Rockies 2

Johnny Cueto pitched seven effective innings for San Francisco, and Brandon Crawford and Chris Marrero homered.

Cueto (3-0) allowed two runs and six hits while winning his third straight start to begin the season. The right-hander struck out six and walked one.

The Giants jumped in front on Marrero's first career homer in the second, a drive to left off Tyler Anderson (1-2) after Eduardo Nunez walked with two out.

Anderson lasted just four innings. The left-hander allowed four runs and five hits, and also was charged with two balks — matching a franchise record.

American League

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4

Home plate umpire Dale Scott sustained a concussion when he was hit in the face mask by a foul tip from Baltimore slugger Mark Trumbo, casting a shadow over the Orioles' victory.

Scott recoiled after the ball struck the bottom of his mask and staggered backward before going down on one knee in the eighth inning. Once his neck was immobilized on a spinal board, Scott was lifted onto a cart and driven off the field.

The Blue Jays relayed information from Major League Baseball that Scott would miss the rest of the series.

J.J. Hardy hit a two-run homer for Baltimore, and Chris Davis, Jonathan Schoop, and Seth Smith also connected. Wade Miley (1-0) pitched six innings for the win, and Zach Britton got three outs for his fifth save.

Toronto has dropped seven in a row, extending its franchise-worst start. Blue Jays ace Aaron Sanchez (0-1) allowed five runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Tigers 7, Indians 6

Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning after being brushed back in the first, and the Tigers handed the Indians their sixth loss in seven games.

Tensions mounted three batters into the game when Cabrera yelled and gestured at the Indians dugout after an inside pitch from Trevor Bauer. Cabrera shouted at the dugout again when the inning ended, resulting in warnings to both teams.

Cabrera responded in the fifth, lining a 1-1 pitch from Bauer (0-2) into the right-field seats to give Detroit a 4-0 lead.

Alex Avila added a two-run homer in the sixth for Detroit, which played its first night game of the season.

Daniel Norris (1-1) allowed two hits in six scoreless innings. Francisco Rodriguez allowed pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall's grand slam in the ninth, but struck out Austin Jackson for his fourth save.

Mariners 2, Rangers 1

Felix Hernandez pitched 7 1/3 innings for Seattle, and Mitch Haniger settled for a clutch RBI single instead of an apparent home run.

With the score tied at 1 in the seventh, Haniger hit a drive that appeared to clear the left-field wall for a three-run homer, before bouncing back into the field of play.

After an umpire review of more than two minutes, the call was overturned, giving Haniger a single off Jose Leclerc (0-1), scoring Jarrod Dyson to put Seattle up 2-1.

Hernandez (1-1) allowed one run and six hits. Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth, stranding the tying run at third for his second save.

Astros 7, Athletics 2

Nori Aoki homered and drove in two runs to help Houston to its third straight win.

Brian McCann drove in three runs for Houston, and Dallas Keuchel (2-0) pitched seven crisp innings.

Khris Davis homered — his fifth of the season — in his first at-bat for the A's, who lost their second straight.

Oakland starter Kendall Graveman pitched five innings of one-run ball. Ryan Madsen (0-1) got the loss.

Royals 7, Angels 1

Danny Duffy pitched seven innings for Kansas City, and Mike Moustakas hit a two-run homer.

Duffy (2-0) gave up a run on a Mike Trout first-inning single, but retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced. He improved to 8-0 in his past 16 Kauffman Stadium starts.

Salvador Perez also homered, his fifth of the season, and drove in two runs for Kansas City.

JC Ramirez (2-1), making his first start in the majors after 111 relief appearances, allowed five runs in five innings for Los Angeles.

White Sox 2, Twins 1

Dylan Covey allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning of his big league debut and Matt Davidson hit a solo home run in the seventh, lifting the White Sox to the road win.

Covey walked three and struck out one in 5 1-3 innings. Davidson's third homer of the year reached the upper deck in right field off Ryan Pressly (0-1), and David Robertson picked up his second save.

Dan Jennings (1-0) pitched one inning of scoreless relief.

The start of the game was held up 36 minutes by rain. Steady showers fell again in the second and third innings, but the teams were able to keep playing through it.
