BOSTON-Mookie Betts, Hanley Ramirez and Travis Shaw each homered and the Boston Red Sox continued their strong hitting with a 13-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
The Red Sox had a season-high 16 hits. Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his major league-best hitting streak to 16 games as Boston won its third straight. Shaw tied his career-high with five RBIs.
The Athletics lost their fourth consecutive game.
Yankees 10, Royals 7
NEW YORK-Brett Gardner doubled home the tiebreaking run off Kelvin Herrera in the eighth inning, and New York overcame three home runs by Lorenzo Cain to beat reeling Kansas City.
In a back-and-forth game, Kansas City rallied from deficits of 1-0, 5-3 and 7-6 as Cain tied his career high with five RBIs. Cheslor Cuthbert also homered for the Royals, who have hit six home runs in the first two games of the series.
But Gold Glove shortstop Alcides Escobar allowed Ben Gamel's grounder to bounce off his glove for an error with one out in the eighth, and Gardner followed with a drive to left-center off Herrera (0-1) for an 8-7 lead. Starlin Castro was hit by a pitch, and Brian McCann hit a two-run double off the fence in right-center.
World Series champion Kansas City has lost 11 of 14, dropping two games under .500 at 15-17.
Mariners 5, Rays 2
SEATTLE-Ketel Marte hit a tiebreaking three-run homer off Steve Geltz and had a career-high four hits to lead Seattle over Tampa Bay.
Felix Hernandez (3-2) allowed just two runs on four hits over seven innings to pick up the win. Steve Cishek earned his 10th save of the season.
Dana Eveland (0-1) was saddled with the loss.
Brewers 10, Marlins 2
MIAMI-Jonathan Villar got two hits, stole two bases and scored twice, and Milwaukee Brewers won a rematch against Adam Conley, beating Miami.
Conley won when he held Milwaukee hitless for 7 2/3 shutout innings on April 29 before exiting because of a career-high pitch count. This time the young left-hander gave up seven hits and four runs in four innings, and the Brewers stole four bases against him.
Ryan Braun had a pair of RBI singles. Aaron Hill added three hits, including a two-run double. Hernan Perez had two hits and two stolen bases.
Phillies 3, Braves 2
ATLANTA-Adam Morgan allowed only one run in seven innings, Mikael Franco homered and Philadelphia held off Atlanta to extend the Braves' home misery.
Morgan (1-0) matched the longest start of his career, allowing four hits and one walk.
Franco hit his seventh homer off Matt Wisler (1-3) to lead off the eighth.
Freddie Freeman led off the ninth with his fifth homer off Phillies closer Jeanmar Gomez. Gomez gave up a two-out single to Kelly Johnson before ending the game on Reid Brignac's fly ball to center field for his 12th save.
The Braves (7-24) own the majors' worst record and are 1-16 at Turner Field.
Tigers 5, Nationals 4
WASHINGTON-Andrew Romine drove in the tiebreaking run on a play that withstood a replay challenge under the new slide rule, Miguel Cabrera tacked on a pinch-hit RBI, and Detroit Tigers overcame Ryan Zimmerman's two homers to beat Washington and end a seven-game losing streak.
Bryce Harper came up as the potential go-ahead run in the ninth, but closer Francisco Rodriguez intentionally walked the reigning NL MVP to put two men on with one out for cleanup hitter Zimmerman.
Rodriguez struck out Zimmerman swinging, then got .402-hitting Daniel Murphy to fly out to center for his eighth save.
The Tigers trailed 3-2 before scoring three runs in the sixth off Joe Ross (3-2).
After James McCann's RBI single tied it, Romine came up with the bases loaded and one out. His grounder led to a forceout at second base, but Romine beat shortstop Danny Espinosa's throw to first in a bid for a double play.
Because Anthony Gose's slide was not near the bag at second, Washington hoped Romine would be called out on review, based on this season's rule governing how a baserunner must slide. But Gose did not make contact with Espinosa, and the play stood as called on the field.
