Michael Chavis scored from third on a wild pitch and Christian Vazquez singled in another run in the 10th inning as the Boston Red Sox beat the host Baltimore Orioles 6-4 on Saturday night.
Boston has won five consecutive games after being swept by the Orioles in the season-opening series. Meanwhile, the Orioles have lost four of five since that sweep at Fenway.
Baltimore trailed 3-2 going into the eighth but tied it, then took the lead when Freddy Galvis singled in Ryan McKenna with one out. Boston got it to 4-4 in the ninth as Marwin Gonzalez scored on a groundout by Bobby Dalbec.
Rafael Devers had a big game for the Red Sox as he hit a home run and had a hand in Boston’s first three runs.
Marlins 3, Mets 0
Jacob deGrom tied a career-high with 14 strikeouts but absorbed another hard-luck loss for host New York as Jazz Chisholm’s second-inning homer provided the only run Miami would need in its victory.
Trevor Rogers allowed three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over six innings in earning his second career win — both against the Mets in games in which he opposed deGrom at Citi Field — for the Marlins, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Dylan Floro and Richard Bleier tossed a perfect inning apiece before Yimi Garcia threw a perfect ninth for his first save this season.

Mitch Haniger homered and drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and Taylor Trammell hit his first major league homer to lead Seattle past Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Brewers 9, Cardinals 5
Avisail Garcia homered and drove in five runs as visiting Milwaukee knocked off visiting St. Louis.
Keston Hiura added a three-run homer for the Brewers, who erupted for 13 hits and a season-high run total after averaging 2.3 runs in its previous six games. Adrian Houser (1-1) allowed one unearned run on six hits over five-plus innings for Milwaukee.
Austin Dean crushed a three-run homer for the Cardinals, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Yadier Molina had three hits for St. Louis.
Athletics 7, Astros 3
Frankie Montas carried a shutout into the seventh inning while Ramon Laureano, Jed Lowrie, Sean Murphy and Seth Brown delivered two-out, run-scoring hits as visiting Oakland defeated Houston.
Montas (1-1) limited the Astros to one run on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six-plus innings while improving to 5-3 in 10 career appearances against Houston. He allowed the lone run on his 100th pitch, a 3-2 slider that Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker drilled into the right-field seats leading off the seventh.
With Oakland leading 2-0 in the top of the fifth, Laureano blasted his first home run this season 415 feet to left off Astros starter Jose Urquidy (0-1), driving home Mark Canha and doubling the lead. Lowrie added a two-run, two-out single off in the seventh.
Giants 4, Rockies 3
Brandon Crawford belted a three-run home run that rallied San Francisco to a second straight low-scoring win over visiting Colorado.
Right-hander Logan Webb combined with four relievers on a nine-hitter as the Giants won their third straight overall and second in a row over the Rockies.
Ryan McMahon smacked his fifth home run of the season for the Rockies, who lost for the sixth time in their last eight games after an Opening Day win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Indians 11, Tigers 3
Jordan Luplow homered, doubled and drove in five runs and visiting Cleveland slugged its way to a victory over Detroit.
The Indians clubbed five home runs, including Franmil Reyes’ third in two games. Roberto Perez hit a two-run homer and scored four runs, Andres Gimenez also had a two-run shot, and Cesar Hernandez added a solo blast among three hits.
Aaron Civale (2-0) limited the Tigers to one run on three hits with six strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. Robbie Grossman hit his first homer of the season and Jeimer Candelario added a two-run, ninth-inning blast for Detroit, which has lost five of its last six games.

Braves 5, Phillies 4
A fielding mistake allowed Atlanta to score the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and it hung on to beat visiting Philadelphia, extending its winning streak to four games.
With runners on the corners in the seventh, Philadelphia reliever Jose Alvarado entered the game with one out. He got Freddie Freeman to hit a one-hop comebacker to the mound, but when he turned to start a double play, there was no one covering second base. He wheeled around and fired home, but Ehire Adrianza beat the throw without a slide.
Adrianza opened the inning with a pinch-hit double and went to third on a single by Ronald Acuna Jr.
Diamondbacks 8, Reds 3
Arizona’s five-run fifth inning, highlighted by a bases-clearing single by Stephen Vogt, proved to be the difference in its victory over Cincinnati in Phoenix.
Arizona leadoff hitter Tim Locastro batted 4-for-5 with two runs. Christian Walker went 2-for-4 with one run and an RBI, and Eduardo Escobar hit his third home run of the season. He finished 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs.
