Gerrit Cole threw seven shutout innings to help the New York Yankees to a 13-0 win against the visiting Detroit Tigers in the opener of a three-game series on Friday night.
Cole (5-1) did not allow a baserunner through 6 2/3 innings. He surrendered his only two hits in the seventh before ending the inning with his ninth strikeout. The veteran did not issue a walk.
New York is the first team in the expansion era (since 1961) to have perfect games through six innings in back-to-back games. Yankees right-hander Jameson Taillon did not allow a baserunner through seven innings in a 2-1 win against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.
Aaron Judge went 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs for the Yankees, who have won four in a row and eight of 10. Jose Trevino homered and tripled for New York. Matt Carpenter and Anthony Rizzo also went deep, and Trevino and Rizzo drove in three runs each. Manny Banuelos closed out the win with two innings of one-hit ball.

Dansby Swanson collected three hits and Ronald Acuna Jr. added two to send the Braves to their season-high third straight victory.

Padres 7, Brewers 0
Joe Musgrove took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and Manny Machado belted a three-run homer as San Diego snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory at Milwaukee.
Musgrove, who last season tossed the only no-hitter in Padres history, did not allow a hit until Kolten Wong’s two-out double in the eighth. He got the final out in the eighth before giving way to Craig Stammen. Musgrove (6-0) walked three and hit one batter while striking out six.

This game’s announced pitching matchup between San Francisco’s Alex Cobb and Miami’s Elieser Hernandez never happened as Cobb was scratched due to lower-back tightness and Hernandez was switched out for Richard Bleier at the discretion of Marlins manager Don Mattingly.
Astros 10, Royals 3

The Mariners rallied to claim the opener of a three-game series, their fifth win in seven games. With Texas up 3-2 entering the ninth, J.P. Crawford drew a one-out walk from Joe Barlow (1-1), and Suarez followed with his 10th home run of the season, a shot to right. Suarez had a three-RBI night.
