Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with three RBIs Tuesday night and Michael King fired six strong innings for his second straight win as the San Diego Padres stopped the visiting Seattle Mariners 4-1.

King (2-1) allowed four hits and a run, walking two and fanning five in San Diego’s sixth straight win. Its high-leverage bullpen arms took care of matters from there with Mason Miller pitching the ninth for his fifth save in as many chances.

Bryan Woo (0-2) took the loss for Seattle, permitting eight hits and three runs over seven innings with a walk and three strikeouts. The result ended the Mariners’ four-game winning streak.

The Padres rapped out 11 hits and continued their recent offensive surge. They have outscored opponents 40-15 during their streak, winning every game by at least three runs.

Seattle initiated scoring in the second. Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley singled before J.P. Crawford was plunked to fill the bases. Dominic Canzone cashed in Arozarena with a sacrifice fly to center.

That lead lasted until the third, when San Diego touched Woo for three runs. Ramon Laureano tripled with one out and rode home on a single by Fernando Tatis Jr. Jackson Merrill singled Tatis Jr. to third, then stole second before Bogaerts’ single plated both runners.

The Padres capped the scoring in the eighth when Merrill doubled, advanced to third on Manny Machado’s fly ball to deep left and trotted home on Bogaerts’ third hit of the game.

Merrill also collected three hits for San Diego and Laureano finished with two. Arozarena was the only Mariner with two hits.

The result was just the Padres’ fifth win in their last 19 matchups with the Mariners.

Christian Walker recorded three hits and a pair of RBIs and the Houston Astros parlayed a six-run third inning into a 7-6 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.

The Astros snapped an eight-game skid, their longest since 2013. The Rockies, who swept a three-game set from Houston last week, suffered their fifth straight loss.

Houston took advantage of two fielding errors by Rockies second baseman Willi Castro to chase right-hander Michael Lorenzen (1-2) in the bottom of the third.

Castro dropped an infield popup by Jose Altuve after Christian Vazquez opened the third with a double. Lorenzen balked both runners into scoring position and Yordan Alvarez followed with a game-tying two-run double down the right field line.

Walker, whose solo homer in the second shaved the deficit to 3-1, added a fielder’s choice grounder that plated Alvarez.

Cam Smith and Vazquez added RBI singles that pushed the Astros to a 7-3 lead after Carlos Correa scored when Castro failed to field a sharp grounder from Joey Loperfido.

Lorenzen allowed seven runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 2 2/3 innings.

Hunter Goodman recorded his sixth career multi-homer game, with his second blast leading off the fifth and drawing the Rockies to within 7-5.

Troy Johnston delivered a pinch-hit RBI single in the eighth, but Astros reliever Enyel De Los Santos faced one batter and stranded runners on the corners to close the ninth for his first save this season.

The Rockies pounced on Astros left-hander Colton Gordon, who made his season debut for injury-ravaged Houston. Colorado rallied with the bases loaded and two outs in both the first and second innings, with Goodman smacking his third homer of the season for a 1-0 lead in the first.

An inning later, after Gordon retired TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar to open the second, Jordan Beck and Kyle Karros laced consecutive two-out singles before Jake McCarthy delivered a two-run triple to straightaway center, extending Colorado’s lead to 3-0.

Gordon did not survive the fourth. He surrendered a two-out solo homer to Beck before loading the bases and ceding the mound to reliever AJ Blubaugh, who induced pinch hitter Mickey Moniak to hit an inning-ending infield popup.

After Jojo Romero retired Chase DeLauter, Ryne Stanek came on to face Jose Ramirez.

Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo promptly singled to put runners at first and third.

George Valera brought Ramirez home with a double and Angel Martinez brought in Manzardo and pinch-runner Juan Brito with a double to right to give Cleveland a three-run lead.

Buxton made it 2-0 when he led off the second with a home run, and Lee’s home run made it 3-0 in the fourth. Larnach’s two-run single drove in Tristan Gray and Buxton to extend the lead to 5-0 later in the fourth.

Buxton’s second home run of the game — his third of the season — increased Minnesota’s lead to 6-0 in the sixth.

Myles Straw’s two-run double capped a three-run 10th inning as the visiting Toronto Blue Jays rallied for a 9-7 victory over Milwaukee on Tuesday night, the Brewers’ sixth consecutive defeat.

Toronto scored three runs in the ninth to go up 6-4, but the Brewers tied it with two in the bottom half.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s one-out double in the 10th off Grant Anderson (0-1) scored automatic runner Ernie Clement from second to put Toronto up 7-6. Jesse Sanchez was walked intentionally and both runners scored on Straw’s liner to left.

Louis Varland (1-1), who relieved with two outs in the ninth and struck out Joey Ortiz to strand the bases loaded, got the win despite allowing a run in the 10th on William Contreras’ RBI single. Varland stranded runners on first and second with a game-ending strikeout of Gary Sanchez.

The Brewers sent it to extra innings with two in the bottom of the ninth off Jeff Hoffman on an RBI single by Brice Turang and Brandon Lockridge’s two-out RBI double.

Toronto scored three in the ninth off struggling closer Trevor Megill on an RBI single by Kazuma Okamoto, a run-scoring groundout by Andres Gimenez and an RBI single by Clement for a 6-4 lead.

Ben Williamson had two hits and three RBIs and left-hander Shane McClanahan earned his first victory in nearly three years as the visiting Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Chicago White Sox 8-5 on Tuesday.

Tampa Bay stretched its winning streak to four games while sending Chicago to its sixth loss in eight games.

McClanahan (1-1) sparked the effort, spacing three runs (two earned) and two hits in five innings with four walks and four strikeouts. After missing the past two seasons due to Tommy John elbow surgery and a nerve issue, McClanahan picked up his first win since June 16, 2023, a 6-2 victory at San Diego.

Bryan Baker got the final out for his third save. Chicago’s Munetaka Murakami connected for a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to account for the final margin.

White Sox left-hander Noah Schultz struggled with wildness at the outset of his major league debut. After retiring Yandy Diaz on a flyout to left field to begin his outing, Schultz walked the next two hitters and allowed an RBI double to Ryan Vilade, who had three hits.

With runners at second and third and one out, Williamson pushed a sacrifice bunt to the right side, but the 22-year-old Schultz threw wide of home plate, allowing two runs to score for a 3-0 first-inning lead.

Although Schultz (0-1) settled down, the early damage took a toll before a crowd that included members of the baseball team from his high school alma mater, about 45 minutes southwest of Chicago in Oswego, Ill. A 2022 first-round draft pick out of Oswego East High, the 6-foot-10 Schultz yielded four runs (three earned) and three hits in 4 1/3 innings with four walks and four strikeouts.

Chicago drew within 4-3 in the third. Everson Pereira, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game, blasted a three-run home run after Chase Meidroth reached on catcher interference and Murakami walked.

Relievers Hunter Bigge, Mason Englert and Yoendrys Gomez limited the White Sox to one hit in three innings before the ninth.

Diaz had two hits and an RBI for the Rays. Jonny DeLuca and Nick Fortes also drove in a run apiece.

Kansas City left fielder Isaac Collins’ all-out hustle resulted in a right knee contusion and forced him out of the Royals’ series-opening 2-1 loss to the host Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

In the first inning, Collins, 28, raced after a ball hit by Detroit’s Kevin McGonigle and tumbled into the stands in the left field corner, with the ball eluding his glove.

Collins was checked out by Royals trainer Kyle Turner and was able to walk to the dugout with a slight limp. Tyler Tolbert replaced Collins in left.

In his first season with Kansas City, Collins is hitting .214 with one home run and four RBIs in 16 games. In parts of three seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers (2024-25) and the Royals, he is a .253 hitter with 10 home runs and 58 RBIs over 157 games.

Dominic Smith launched a three-run opposite-field double with two outs in the eighth inning, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 6-5 win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

The rally came against reliever Pete Fairbanks (0-1), who allowed a leadoff single to Drake Baldwin. Two outs later, Mike Yastrzemski singled and Ozzie Albies was hit by a pitch. Smith, who had been 0-for-6 lifetime against Fairchild, banged a 2-1 cutter off the left-center-field fence to clear the bases.

Smith went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, lifting his batting average to .395.

Braves closer Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth, striking out two, to earn his third save. Robert Suarez (2-0) allowed a run on three hits in the eighth but still earned the win.

Neither starter figured in the decision. Miami’s Max Meyer pitched five innings and allowed three runs on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts. Atlanta’s Reynaldo Lopez found his control in the third inning and wound up pitching five innings. He allowed a season-high four runs (three earned), five hits and three walks while fanning six.

The teams will play the decisive game of the three-game series on Wednesday.

Miami scored a run in the first on a sacrifice fly from Agustin Ramirez, then added three in the second to take a 4-0 lead. Connor Norby drove in a run with a single, Graham Pauley knocked in a run with a double — although Javier Sanoja was thrown out at the plate — and Jakob Marsee added an RBI single to complete the Marlins’ fourth three-run inning of the series.

The Braves got a run-scoring single from Smith in the second, then plated two runs in the third on back-to-back RBI doubles from Baldwin and Matt Olson, cutting the deficit to 4-3.

The Marlins added an insurance run in the eighth on an opposite-field single by Otto Lopez that drove in Ramirez.

Olson played in his 800th consecutive game and owns the 11th-longest streak in history, dating to May 2, 2021, when he was with the then-Oakland Athletics. Olson is 74 games shy of Dale Murphy’s Braves franchise record of 740.

Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler hit consecutive homers in the first inning Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Angels, who earned a 7-1 victory over the host New York Yankees.

The Angels won for the sixth time in their past nine visits to Yankee Stadium and lead the American League with 26 homers after evening the four-game series with an impressive power display against New York starter Ryan Weathers (0-2).

Trout started the barrage with one out when he slugged a 2-1 fastball 432 feet to the loading dock between Monument Park in center field and the visiting bullpen in left field. Adell homered on the next pitch when he sent a fastball 445 feet into the visiting bullpen.

Soler, who is appealing a seven-game suspension for last week’s brawl against the Atlanta Braves, capped the outburst by sending a 2-0 fastball into the left field seats.

It was the first time since June 24, 2023, in Colorado that the Angels hit three straight homers. In that game, Trout, Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered on consecutive pitches during a 13-run third inning in a 25-1 rout.

Trout homered in his third straight at-bat with his 409th career homer, tying Mark Teixeira for 57th on the all-time list. The three-time MVP has five this season.

Adell hit his second homer of the season and Soler hit his fifth as the Angels went deep five times for the first time since hitting six in at the Tampa Bay Rays on April 10, 2025.

Former Yankee Oswald Peraza had three hits and homered off Weathers in the fourth. The Angels also nearly homered in the third, but Vaughn Grissom saw a foul ball that just hooked foul down the right field line upheld following a crew chief’s review by Lance Barksdale.

Yoan Moncada added a two-run, bases-loaded single against Paul Blackburn in the sixth, when the first five hitters reached base, and opened the eighth with a home run to right.

Los Angeles starter Reid Detmers (1-1) allowed four hits and one run over seven-plus innings. The left-hander struck out nine and walked none.

Weathers permitted five runs on five hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He gave up a career-high four homers and finished with 10 strikeouts for his third career double-digit strikeout game.

New York lost for the sixth time in seven games. The Yankees scored their lone run on a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by Ben Rice in the eighth.

Ildemaro Vargas hit a three-run homer and Merrill Kelly pitched into the sixth inning in his season debut to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the host Baltimore Orioles 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Kelly, a veteran right-hander who was dealing with a back injury since spring training, logged 5 1/3 innings to pick up the pitching victory. He was charged with two runs on five hits with four walks and three strikeouts.

Geraldo Perdomo posted three hits for the Diamondbacks, who were stunned by Baltimore’s comeback from six runs down in Monday night’s series opener, a 9-7 Orioles victory.

Arizona’s Jose Fernandez and James McCann both had two hits on Tuesday. Paul Sewald worked a perfect ninth without the ball leaving the infield for his sixth save.

Yet there was good news for the Orioles. First-year manager Craig Albernaz was in the dugout a night after he was struck in the face by a foul ball and sustained a broken jaw and fractured cheek bones.

Samuel Basallo homered and joined Jeremiah Jackson with two hits for Baltimore. Leody Taveras drove in runs in the third and eighth innings.

Vargas drilled his second home run of the season in Arizona’s four-run fifth inning off Orioles starter Trevor Rogers. Arizona tacked on the last run of the uprising on Fernandez’s two-out double.

The Orioles drew within 4-3 on Taveras’ eighth-inning single with two outs, but Ryan Thompson was summoned from the bullpen with the bases loaded and retired Jackson on a groundout to douse the threat.

Baltimore struck first on Basallo’s home run on the third pitch of the bottom of the second inning. Taveras drew a two-out, bases-loaded walk for the next run in the third inning.

Rogers (2-1) lasted 4 2/3 innings and was charged with four runs on nine hits, giving up more than two runs for the first time in four starts this season. He struck out six batters, but it was the first time he failed to complete at least six innings.
