Athletics 8, Angels 1

Josh Donaldson hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning, Yoenis Cespedes also went deep and A.J. Griffin pitched eight solid innings, leading Oakland to a victory over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif. It was the first time Oakland swept the Angels in the first head-to-head series of a season since 2003, and the first time the Athletics swept their first series at the “Big A” since 1996. The defending A.L. West champions outscored the Angels 28-11 and were retired in order in only three of the 27 innings. They had a 10-0 trip in August 2002 and an 8-0 excursion in April 1981. Griffin (2-0) allowed a run and five hits, struck out two and walked one. The right-hander did not allow a hit after giving up an RBI double by Howie Kendrick with one out in the fourth.

Tigers 11, Blue Jays 1

Miguel Cabrera tripled, scored twice and even stole a base, and Detroit knocked Josh Johnson out of the game with a five-run second inning en route to a victory over visiting Toronto on Thursday. Doug Fister (2-0) allowed a run and eight hits in eight innings for the Tigers. Johnson (0-1) allowed six runs and seven hits in 1 1/3 innings – the shortest start of his career. Prince Fielder had four RBIs and Torii Hunter added three for the Tigers. The Blue Jays have not lived up to expectations because of poor pitching. Their starters are now 1-4 with a 7.59 ERA.

Orioles 3, Red Sox 2

Chris Davis hit his sixth homer and Adam Jones drove in two runs, including a tiebreaking double, to lead Baltimore to a win at Boston. Davis and Jones extended their torrid starts for the Orioles, who took two of three games in Boston. The pair has combined for 30 of Baltimore’s 85 hits. Dustin Pedroia and Mike Napoli had consecutive RBI singles for the Red Sox, who dropped a series for the first time after taking two of three on the road from both the New York Yankees and Toronto. Baltimore improved to 1-3 in one-run games after going 29-9 last season.

Giants 7, Cubs 6

Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run double in a four-run fourth inning and San Francisco rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat the Chicago Cubs in Chicago. Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong walked with the bases loaded to tie it in the fifth and Angel Pagan followed with a sacrifice fly, helping the World Series champion Giants win their fourth in a row. Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro’s fielding error with two outs in the fourth allowed the first run to score. Scott Feldman (0-2) then gave up an RBI single to Angel Pagan and hit Crawford with a pitch ahead of Sandoval’s double. Vogelsong (1-1) yielded eight hits and five runs in the first three innings before retiring his final 10 batters in a foggy and damp, 40-degree day.

Interleague

Nationals 7, White Sox 4

Ryan Zimmerman delivered a two-run double after Bryce Harper was intentionally walked in the fourth inning, and Washington defeated visiting Chicago to cap a three-game sweep. Dan Haren got the win despite allowing 10 hits in five innings. With the score tied at 3 in the fourth, Haren helped himself by doubling off Dylan Axelrod and eventually scoring on a wild pitch with two outs. Chicago then put Harper on base on purpose, but the move didn’t work: Cleanup hitter Zimmerman lined a double to right on Axelrod’s 103rd — and final — pitch of the evening. That put Washington ahead 6-3, and relievers Ryan Mattheus, Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano made it hold up.
