Josh Rojas hit a career-best three of Arizona’s season-high seven home runs, and David Peralta went deep twice, as the visiting Diamondbacks powered their way to a 10-6 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday.

Taking advantage of a warm afternoon with the wind blowing out, the D-backs hit the second-most homers for a game in club history to win their second straight after losing a season-high six in a row. Rojas entered without a homer in 2022 and 13 in 210 career games, but made the most of the elements and drove in four runs.

Chicago native Alek Thomas (two hits) clubbed his third homer and Christian Walker went deep late for his Diamondbacks-leading 10th. Humberto Castellanos (3-1) allowed three runs, five hits and struck out five over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one.

The Cubs also set a season high with four home runs — solo shots from Patrick Wisdom, Jonathan Villar (two hits), rookie Christopher Morel (two hits) and ex-Diamondback Ildemaro Vargas. However, Kyle Hendricks (2-4) yielded season highs of seven runs and eight hits, while matching a career worst with four homers.

Orioles 8, Rays 6 (13 innings)

Rougned Odor belted a game-winning home run in the 13th inning as Baltimore beat visiting Tampa Bay to end a 15-game, head-to-head losing streak.

The Orioles tied the game with three runs in the seventh inning. Tampa Bay went up by two runs in the 10th and one in the 11th, but Baltimore rallied each time.

Nick Vespi (1-0) notched the win in his first outing in the major leagues, throwing two scoreless innings. Ralph Garza Jr. (0-1) took the loss. Randy Arozarena had four hits for the Rays, and teammate Mike Zunino hit a three-run homer.

Rangers 3, Astros 0

Martin Perez scattered eight hits in a complete-game shutout and Kole Calhoun homered as visiting Texas finally solved Houston.

Perez and Calhoun helped the Rangers snap an 11-game road losing streak to Houston. The Astros lost for the first time in 10 games at home.

Perez (3-2) struck out five, walked just one and was helped by three double plays in his first complete game since 2014. Astros starter Cristian Javier (2-2) lost despite surrendering only one run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine in six innings.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 3

Yadier Molina drove in two runs for St. Louis and Adam Wainwright continued his mastery of Pittsburgh with a win over the Pirates.

Dylan Carlson and Harrison Bader each had an RBI single for the Cardinals, who had lost two straight. Wainwright (5-3) extended his scoreless streak against the Pirates to 38 1/3 innings, before giving up a run in the seventh. In his seven innings, he gave up the one run and four hits with three walks and three strikeouts.

Michael Chavis homered and Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single for the Pirates, who lost for the third time in four games. Pittsburgh starter Zach Thompson (2-4) allowed one run and five hits in five innings.

Twins 6, Royals 4

Rookie Jose Miranda had two hits, including a two-run double in the eighth to provide a three-run cushion, as visiting Minnesota defeated Kansas City.

Miranda came into the contest, which was the opener of a three-game series, in an 0-for-20 skid. Devin Smeltzer (1-0) allowed one run on five hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings for the win.

Daniel Lynch (2-3) lasted just 3 2/3 innings for the Royals, and it took him 90 pitches to get that far. He allowed four runs on five hits while striking out two and walking two.

Brewers 7, Nationals 0

Rowdy Tellez jump-started the Brewers’ offense with a two-run homer and Tyrone Taylor added a three-run shot to back Eric Lauer’s seven scoreless innings and pace Milwaukee to a shutout victory over visiting Washington.

Tellez snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the sixth and the Brewers added five more in the eighth. Lauer (4-1) allowed five hits with five strikeouts, no walks and one hit batter in his 83-pitch outing.

The Nationals had Lane Thomas get thrown out at the plate trying for an inside-the-park homer in the top of the seventh, then turned a triple play in bottom of the inning.

Red Sox 7, Mariners 3

Home runs by Trevor Story and Jackie Bradley Jr. provided all of Boston’s offense as the Red Sox broke the game open late for a win over visiting Seattle.

Just a night after his three-homer, seven-RBI performance, Story broke a scoreless tie with a grand slam in the third inning. Story led the Sox with four RBIs on one swing of the bat, while J.D. Martinez (2-for-4, run scored) and Enrique Hernandez (2-for-3, run scored) both had multiple hits.

Ty France went 2-for-4 and Abraham Toro homered for Seattle.

Padres 8, Giants 7 (10 innings)

Manny Machado and Jurickson Profar each drove in a run in the 10th inning as San Diego pulled out a victory at San Francisco in the return to the bench of Padres manager Bob Melvin.

Jake Cronenworth hit a home run and Wil Myers had a two-run double to help make a winner of Melvin, who had prostate surgery on May 11. San Diego won for the fourth time in its past five games.

Darin Ruf hit two home runs for the Giants, who forced extra innings on Wilmer Flores’ two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. San Francisco saw its five-game home winning streak end.

Blue Jays 2, Reds 1

Dodgers 4, Phillies 1

Freddie Freeman had three hits and two RBIs, Julio Urias tossed five scoreless innings and Los Angeles won at Philadelphia.

Trea Turner and Will Smith each added one hit and two walks apiece for the Dodgers, who won their sixth in a row. Urias (3-3) gave up only two hits, struck out five and walked none.

The Phillies managed seven hits and avoided being shut out on consecutive nights when J.T. Realmuto hit an RBI double in the ninth. Kyle Schwarber produced a pair of doubles and Camargo added two hits.

Guardians 6, Tigers 1

Cleveland erupted for four runs in the sixth inning to break open a scoreless game and defeat visiting Detroit.

Aaron Civale (2-3) got the win after limiting the Tigers to one run, which was unearned, in 6 1/3 innings. He exited shortly after slipping while fielding a comebacker.

Tigers starter Tarik Skubal didn’t give up a run, but he came out after getting hit on the left leg by a line drive while recording the final out in the fifth. Jacob Barnes (3-1) yielded all four runs in the sixth.

Athletics 4, Angels 2

Jed Lowrie and Seth Brown homered, Paul Blackburn and four relievers combined to allow just six hits and Oakland beat Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif.

Lowrie, Brown and Luis Barrera (two doubles) each had two hits for Oakland, but it was the bullpen that made the difference in the game. Sam Moll (1-0), Zach Jackson, A.J. Puk and Dany Jimenez held the Angels hitless over the final 4 1/3 innings.

The loss was the Angels’ season-high fourth in a row. Angels starter Chase Silseth (1-1), in his second major league start, gave up three runs on six hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings, striking out six.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene cannot expect to duplicate his most recent start, but he can improve the result when he faces the host Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon.

The Blue Jays won the opener of the three-game series 2-1 on Friday night.

Greene pitched 7 1/3 hitless innings against the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday but emerged with a 1-0 loss even though the Cincinnati bullpen completed the no-hitter. The 22-year-old rookie allowed five walks and struck out nine.

After the start in which he made 118 pitches, Greene (1-6, 6.21 ERA) said he would “continue to stick with the process.”

“I think that’s where my peace is as a player and as a person,” Greene added. “That’ll always be there, so I take a lot of pride in that and the work that I’ve put in. Yeah, it would’ve been great to have a different result, but it is what it is. This is my team, ride or die with them.”

The Pirates’ run scored in the bottom of the eighth. Greene walked two with one out, then was replaced by Art Warren. The reliever issued another walk and a run-scoring fielder’s choice before getting the final out.

It was the sixth time in major league history that a team lost a game while not allowing a hit.

“He pitched, he’d get behind the count, throw a slider and get back into the count,” Reds manager David Bell said. “He had a great fastball, but he also had a special slider. He pitched. He pitched his way into having an opportunity to go nine innings, get a win and a no-hitter. In my book, that’s what it was.”

Greene will face Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah (4-1, 1.71 ERA) on Saturday.

Neither pitcher has faced the other team.

Blue Jays second baseman Santiago Espinal extended his career-best hitting streak to 13 games on Friday when he went 2-for-4. He is 17-for-44 (.386) during the streak with five doubles and four RBIs.

Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s hitting streak ended at a career-best 15 games when he went 0-for-4. He was 16-for-54 (.296) during the streak with two doubles, one home run and five RBIs. He also grounded into five double plays in that span.

“Sometimes at the beginning of the season, I didn’t have maybe the exact same plan that I had last year,” Guerrero told Sportsnet in an interview interpreted by Hector Lebron. “Maybe I’m putting a little bit more pressure on myself, I guess, especially with runners in scoring position. But I’m seeing that already, so I’m trying to work on that and now I’m starting to take whatever they give me.

“I trust my teammates, whoever is hitting behind me, and if they give me the walk, I take my walk.”

The Reds are undermanned for the series.

Cincinnati put outfielder Albert Almora Jr., infielder Brandon Drury and pitchers Tyler Mahle and Joel Kuhnel on the restricted list on Friday because they did not meet Canadian COVID-19 vaccination requirements. Utility player Taylor Motter, outfielder Aristides Aquino and right-handed pitcher Graham Ashcraft joined the active roster as replacement players.

Reds first baseman Joey Votto was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list for the game and went 1-for-4 with a double. He is from Toronto.

The Reds were already missing second baseman Jonathan India, center fielder Nick Senzel, infielder Donovan Solano and shortstop Jose Barrero because of injuries before the series started.

Jed Lowrie and Seth Brown homered, Paul Blackburn and four relievers combined to allow just six hits and the Oakland A’s beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Friday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Lowrie, Brown and Luis Barrera (two doubles) each had two hits for Oakland, but it was the bullpen that made the difference in the game. Sam Moll (1-0), Zach Jackson, A.J. Puk and Dany Jimenez held the Angels hitless over the final 4 1/3 innings.

In the seventh, Jackson retired Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani in order, getting both Trout and Ohtani on called third strikes.

Puk got both Anthony Rendon and Jared Walsh on called third strikes to begin the eighth inning, as the Athletics’ pitching staff combined for 13 strikeouts overall. Jimenez pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save.

Moll earned his first career major league win in his 35th appearance.

The loss was the Angels’ season-high fourth in a row. The A’s won for just the second time in six games.

Angels starter Chase Silseth (1-1) retired the first two batters of the game before Lowrie homered.

The Angels responded with a run in the bottom of the inning, also putting together a rally with two outs and nobody on. Ohtani walked, stole second and scored on a single by Rendon.

Los Angeles got back-to-back doubles by Ward and Trout in the third inning to take a 2-1 lead.

Oakland regained the lead in the fifth and knocked Silseth out of the game. After a one-out walk to Lowrie, Brown fell behind in the count 0-2, worked the count to 2-2 and then homered to give the A’s a 3-2 lead.

Silseth, in his second major league start, gave up three runs on six hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings, striking out six. Blackburn got a no-decision, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. He fanned five.

Oakland added to its lead in the sixth against Angels reliever Kyle Barraclough after Barrera led off with a double, went to third on a flyout by Elvis Andrus and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kevin Smith to make it 4-2.

Ward had to leave the game in the top of the ninth after running face-first into the right field wall while making a catch on a ball hit by Tony Kemp.

Manny Machado and Jurickson Profar each drove in a run in the 10th inning as the visiting Padres pulled out an 8-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday in the return to the bench of San Diego manager Bob Melvin.

Jake Cronenworth hit a home run and Wil Myers had a two-run double to help make a winner of Melvin, who had prostate surgery on May 11. San Diego won for the fourth time in its past five games.

Darin Ruf hit two home runs for San Francisco, which forced extra innings on Wilmer Flores’ two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Giants saw their five-game home winning streak come to an end, falling in their own park for the first time since May 6.

Trailing 6-4 and one out away from defeat, Mike Yastrzemski began San Francisco’s ninth-inning comeback with an infield single off right-hander Luis Garcia before Ruf and Joc Pederson walked to load the bases. Flores tied the game 6-6 on a broken-bat hit. Padres closer Taylor Rogers was not available after throwing 33 pitches Thursday.

Trailing 1-0 in the third inning, the Padres got even on an RBI double from Jorge Alfaro before Cronenworth hit a two-run home run for a 3-1 advantage. Machado followed with a single and later scored on a wild pitch.

Ruf led the charge for the Giants, hitting a two-run home run in the third inning and tying the game 4-4 with a solo shot in the fifth. Ruf entered with one home run on the season and delivered his first multi-homer game since 2012.

The Padres went ahead 6-4 in the eighth inning on Myers’ two-run double off the right field wall.

Giants starter Jakob Junis gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings, while Padres starter Sean Manaea gave up four runs on five hits over six innings with two walks and five strikeouts.

Despite blowing the save, Garcia (2-2) earned the victory, while Robert Suarez gave up an unearned run in the 10th inning while recording his first major league save. San Francisco’s Camilo Doval (0-2) gave up two runs (one earned) in the 10th on two hits.

Rowdy Tellez jump-started the Brewers’ offense with a two-run homer and Tyrone Taylor added a three-run shot to back Eric Lauer’s seven scoreless innings and pace Milwaukee to a 7-0 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals on Friday.

Tellez snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the sixth and the Brewers added five more in the eighth.

The Nationals had Lane Thomas get thrown out at the plate trying for an inside-the-park homer in the top of the seventh, then turned a triple play in bottom of the inning.

After being blanked on two hits through five innings by Erick Fedde, the Brewers opened the sixth with a walk by Luis Urias. Urias was forced at second as Christian Yelich reached on a fielder’s choice. Tellez followed with his ninth homer, sending the first pitch 400 feet to right.

Lauer (4-1) allowed five hits with five strikeouts, no walks and one hit batter in his 83-pitch outing. Devin Williams allowed a double in a scoreless eighth and Aaron Ashby followed with a perfect ninth.

In the seventh, Thomas hit a one-out drive for a hit to right-center. Right fielder Hunter Renfroe got the ball to second baseman Kolton Wong, whose relay to catcher Omar Narvaez was in time to retire Thomas. The aggressive mistake proved costly when Riley Adams followed with a single to left.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Nationals turned their second triple play since the team moved to Washington. Jace Peterson and Wong walked to open the frame against Carl Edwards Jr. Urias followed with a hard grounder to third baseman Maikel Franco, who started the around-the-horn triple play.

The franchise’s only other triple play since moving from Montreal in 2005 occurred on July 29, 2016, against the San Francisco Giants.

The Brewers added five runs in the eighth off Austin Voth on a two-run single by Renfroe and Taylor’s second homer of the season.

Fedde (2-3) allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked three.

Milwaukee won for the fourth time in five games while Washington dropped its fourth in five games.

Rookie Jose Miranda had two hits, including a two-run double in the eighth to provide a three-run cushion, as the visiting Minnesota Twins defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-4 Friday night.

Miranda came into the contest, which was the opener of a three-game series, in an 0-for-20 skid.

The Twins are now 20-3 when scoring first this season.

Devin Smeltzer (1-0) allowed one run on five hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings for the win. He didn’t strike out a batter, but he got in front of most of the hitters he faced.

Emilio Pagan earned his sixth save in seven chances despite allowing a run in the ninth inning. He struck out Andrew Benintendi with the tying run on base to end the game.

Daniel Lynch (2-3) lasted just 3 2/3 innings, and it took him 90 pitches to get that far. He allowed four runs on five hits while striking out two and walking two.

The Twins scored in the first inning before Lynch could record an out. He walked Byron Buxton on four pitches to lead off the game, and Carlos Correa and Kyle Garlick followed with singles. Garlick’s hit scored Buxton.

With one out, Lynch grooved an 86 mph slider that Gary Sanchez hit for double to left, scoring Correa. Gio Urshela’s sacrifice fly drove home Garlick.

The Royals got one back in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly by Bobby Witt Jr., knocking in Whit Merrifield.

The Twins padded the lead to 4-1 in the second on a sacrifice fly by Garlick. Lynch loaded the bases with one out but escaped with just the one run allowed.

The Royals got two runs in the seventh, the first on a solo home run by Carlos Santana off Tyler Duffey. It was the first run allowed by Duffey in eight outings. Santana snapped an 0-for-21 slump with his blast.

Twins reliever Jhoan Duran entered with two on and one out, and Merrifield greeted him with a sacrifice fly on a 101 mph fastball to draw the Royals within 4-3.

The Twins answered on Miranda’s double in the top of the eighth. Emmanuel Rivera homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth to cut into the lead.

Minnesota earned its fourth win in five games while Kansas City fell for the fourth time in six games.

Martin Perez scattered eight hits in a complete-game shutout and Kole Calhoun homered as the visiting Texas Rangers finally solved the Houston Astros in a 3-0 win on Friday.

Perez and Calhoun helped the Rangers even the four-game series at one win apiece and snapped an 11-game road losing streak to Houston. The Astros lost for the first time in 10 games at home.

Perez (3-2) earned his third straight win and lowered his ERA to 1.64. He struck out five, walked just one and was helped by three double plays that snuffed out Houston chances in the first, fourth and seventh innings.

It was the Rangers’ first complete game this season and only the fifth in Major League Baseball in 2022. Perez now has four complete games in his career; Friday’s effort was his first since 2014.

It was not without late drama. Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker both singled for Houston with two out in the ninth before Yuli Gurriel flied out to left field.

Texas has won five of its past six games.

Calhoun ripped a two-out solo opposite-field home run to left-center field in the fourth inning to stake the Rangers to a 1-0 lead. Calhoun has five homers in his past six games.

Houston managed just two hits through the first five innings. The Astros put two on with no outs in the seventh on singles by Bregman and Tucker, but Perez struck out Gurriel and coaxed a double-play grounder from Pena to repel the threat.

Texas added to its lead in the eighth off Astros reliever Rafael Montero. Mitch Garver singled, Nathaniel Lowe walked and Garver scored on a throwing error by Montero on a bunt by Eli White. Lowe then came across on a two-out single by Marcus Semien that made it 3-0.

Cristian Javier (2-2) started for the Astros and took the loss despite surrendering only one run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine in six innings.

The Cleveland Guardians erupted for four runs in the sixth inning to break open a scoreless game and defeat the visiting Detroit Tigers 6-1 on Friday.

Both starting pitchers were knocked out of the game with injuries.

Cleveland right-hander Aaron Civale (2-3) recorded his best outing of the season. He pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, one run, no earned runs and one walk. Civale struck out three batters.

Javier Baez reached on an infield single with one out in the seventh inning for the Tigers. Jeimer Candelario then hit a bouncer that Civale dropped for an error, as Baez advanced to third. Civale ended up on the seat of his pants near first base on the play.

While pitching to Spencer Torkelson, he was replaced by Enyel De Los Santos, who allowed a sacrifice fly to drive in Baez and leave the score 4-1.

Civale came out of the game with a cramp. The veteran is now 7-0 in eight career starts against Detroit.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was knocked out of the game after the fifth inning. The left-hander was hit on his left leg by a line drive by Ernie Clement, which deflected to third baseman Candelario, who threw to second for an inning-ending forceout. Skubal hobbled off the field and was in obvious pain in the dugout.

Skubal allowed just four hits, no runs and no walks. He struck out five.

He was replaced by Jacob Barnes (3-1), who was tagged with the loss. The Guardians didn’t waste any time getting to him. Through his first five pitches, Cleveland had scored four runs, capped by Jose Ramirez’s ninth home run.

Austin Hedges led off the sixth inning with a drive off the wall in left field for a double. Myles Straw followed with an infield single. Amed Rosario then singled to drive in Hedges for Cleveland’s first run.

Ramirez, who fouled a pitch off his leg on Thursday and had X-rays taken, then drilled a three-run homer to give him a major-league-leading 37 RBIs.

The Guardians extended their lead to 6-1 with two runs in the eighth. Back-to-back doubles by Straw and Rosario led to the first run of the inning, while the second came home on Owen Miller’s sacrifice fly.

Home runs by Trevor Story and Jackie Bradley Jr. provided all of Boston’s offense as the Red Sox broke Friday night’s game open late for a 7-3 win over the visiting Seattle Mariners.

Just a night after his three-homer, seven-RBI performance, Story broke a scoreless tie with a grand slam in the third inning.

Story led the Sox with four RBIs on one swing of the bat, while J.D. Martinez (2-for-4, run scored) and Enrique Hernandez (2-for-3, run scored) both had multiple hits.

The visitors scored twice in the fifth and once in the eighth, but Bradley busted the score open again with a three-run homer in his only at-bat of the game during Boston’s half of the eighth.

The Sox have won three straight games for the first time this season.

Ty France went 2-for-4 and Abraham Toro homered for Seattle.

Story continued his impressive series with a third-inning grand slam that sailed into the first row of Green Monster seats in left field. Christian Vazquez hit a leadoff single before Hernandez and Xander Bogaerts walked, setting up Story’s two-out slam.

In his first start since May 3, Boston’s Michael Wacha allowed just one hit — a first-inning double by France — over the first four frames before the Mariners were able to cut their deficit in half.

Seattle put together back-to-back hits in the fifth, as Eugenio Suarez hit a leadoff double and scored on Toro’s homer to right.

Wacha allowed another hit and walk after the home run, but Austin Davis escaped any further damage by striking out J.P. Crawford.

Wacha pitched 4 2/3 innings, striking out three while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks. Davis (1-1) won in relief.

After Sox reliever Jake Diekman struck out two in a scoreless seventh, Seattle got another run closer as Jesse Winker dropped a two-out single into left. Crawford scored from second after reaching on a dropped popup, on which shortstop Bogaerts was wiped out in a collision with left fielder Alex Verdugo and briefly rolled in pain.

Bogaerts remained on the field defensively before Franchy Cordero pinch hit in the following frame and lined a single to center.

Seattle starter Robbie Ray (4-4), who hadn’t allowed a grand slam in his career, struck out eight while allowing four runs on five hits through six innings.

Hyun Jin Ryu pitched six scoreless innings, George Springer and Bo Bichette drove in fifth-inning runs and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Friday night.

Toronto got the game’s first runs in the fifth inning. Zimmer doubled with one out and scored on Springer’s bouncing single up the middle. Bichette followed with an RBI double to left.

Joey Votto had Cincinnati’s fifth double of the game with two outs in the sixth inning. He was stranded when Farmer, who had doubled in his first two at-bats of the game, lined out to left.

Ryan Borucki replaced Ryu in the seventh and hit Mike Moustakas with a pitch. Moustakas took second on Taylor Motter’s single to center. Tyler Naquin forced Motter at second with a grounder to shortstop.

With runners at the corners, Adam Cimber replaced Borucki and struck out pinch hitter Colin Moran. Reynolds then came through with an RBI single to center.

Hunter Strickland replaced Castillo in the seventh and overcame Zimmer’s double and a hit batter.

Toronto’s Yimi Garcia pitched a perfect top of the eighth with two strikeouts.

Cincinnati put outfielder Albert Almora Jr., infielder Brandon Drury, and pitchers Tyler Mahle and Joel Kuhnel on the restricted list on Friday. Utility player Motter, outfielder Aristides Aquino and pitcher Graham Ashcraft joined the active roster as replacement players.

Votto was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list.
