MLB News: MLB roundup: Royals, Tigers, Mets win openers on road

Cole Ragans struck out eight over six scoreless innings in his playoff debut, Bobby Witt Jr. drove in the lone run and the Kansas City Royals blanked the host Baltimore Orioles 1-0 on Tuesday in an American League wild-card series opener.

Kansas City, which played its first playoff game since winning the 2015 World Series, can clinch the best-of-three series with a win on Wednesday.

Ragans (1-0) scattered four hits and did not walk a batter. He exited after the sixth inning with cramping in his left calf. Witt, also making his first postseason appearance, drove in Maikel Garcia with a two-out single against Corbin Burnes (0-1) to break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning.

Burnes shined in his Baltimore postseason debut, scattering five hits over eight-plus innings while striking out three. His only walk came with one out in the sixth. Garcia walked, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout before Witt singled through the left side to drive him home.

Tigers 3, Astros 1

Tarik Skubal (1-0) twirled six shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out six, while the bottom of the order sparked an early rally that carried visiting Detroit over Houston in Game 1 of an AL wild-card series.

Jake Rogers and Trey Sweeney — batting eighth and ninth, respectively — and Matt Vierling hit successive RBI singles for the Tigers in the second inning.

Framber Valdez (0-1) allowed those three runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings for the Astros. Yordan Alvarez (double), Alex Bregman (single) and Yainer Diaz (RBI single) reached in succession to make it 3-1 in the ninth inning before Detroit’s Beau Brieske came in and notched the final two outs.

Mets 8, Brewers 4

Mark Vientos and J.D. Martinez each had a two-run single to fuel a five-run fifth inning and pace New York to a victory at Milwaukee in Game 1 of a National League wild-card series.

Mets starter Luis Severino (1-0) battled through six innings, giving up four runs, three earned, on eight hits. Jose Butto followed with two spotless innings, and Ryne Stanek pitched a perfect ninth.

Brice Turang had three hits and two runs for the Brewers, William Contreras drove in two runs, and Jackson Chourio contributed two hits. Joel Payamps (0-1) took the loss in relief.

Padres 4, Braves 0

Michael King struck out 12 in seven shutout innings and Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a massive two-run homer to help host San Diego shut out Atlanta in Game 1 of a National League wild-card series.

King allowed just five hits, walked none and retired the final 10 batters he faced in his first career postseason start. He fell four strikeouts short of the franchise postseason record, set by Kevin Brown in 1998.

Kyle Higashioka also homered and drove in another with a sacrifice fly for the Padres. Michael Harris II had two hits for the Braves.
