Rays 1, Red Sox 0
James Shields allowed four hits in 8 1/3 innings, and the Rays won at Boston to avoid a four-game sweep. The only run came when Daniel Bard (0-2) walked Evan Longoria on four pitches with the bases loaded in the seventh. Shields gave up four singles and two walks while striking out five as the Rays finally shut down the team that had outscored them 31-11 in the previous three games.

Twins 7, Yankees 3
Carl Pavano quieted an unfriendly Yankee Stadium crowd with seven solid innings, Justin Morneau played in the field for the first time this season and hit a long homer, and Minnesota earned a rare victory in New York. Joe Mauer had three hits, including two doubles, and every position player had a hit in a tweaked Minnesota lineup. Minnesota won for just the sixth time in 34 regular-season games in the Bronx since Ron Gardenhire took over as manager in 2002.

Tigers 3, Royals 2
Justin Verlander beat Kansas City once again, surviving a shaky ninth inning to deliver Detroit a victory at Kansas City, Mo. Austin Jackson hit a leadoff homer and Brandon Inge added a two-run shot in the fifth for the Tigers, giving their reigning A.L. Cy Young winner enough support when things got tight. Verlander threw 131 pitches in improving to 14-2 lifetime against the Royals. Danny Duffy (1-1) did his best to hang tough against Verlander, keeping the Tigers’ potent lineup at bay most of the game. He allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.

Orioles 10, ChiSox 4 (10)
Matt Wieters homered twice, including a 10th-inning grand slam, lifting Baltimore to a come-from-behind win at Chicago. The White Sox took a 4-1 lead into the eighth, but Baltimore hit three solo homers against a pair of relievers to send the game into extra innings. Chicago reliever Zach Stewart (0-1) allowed six runs in the 10th. Wieters went deep off Jesse Crain in the eighth to make it 4-2. Nolan Reimold and Adam Jones homered off rookie closer Hector Santiago in the ninth to tie it.

Angels 6, Athletics 0
Kendrys Morales hit his first homer in nearly two years and drove in four runs, and Jered Weaver recorded his 1,000th career strikeout while pitching five-hit ball into the seventh inning of Los Angeles’ victory over Oakland in Anaheim, Calif. Morales followed his three-run homer in the first inning with an eighth-inning double to score Albert Pujols, who went 2 for 4 with a double. Pujols still hasn’t homered in 10 games with the Angels, but his new cleanup hitter provided plenty of power as Los Angeles opened a weeklong homestand with just its second victory in six games. Morales staked Weaver (2-0) to a healthy lead, and the A.L. Cy Young runner-up retired the first 11 batters he faced.

Mets 6, Braves 1
Ike Davis hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer and Dillon Gee pitched four-hit ball over seven innings, leading New York to victory at Atlanta. The Mets snapped Atlanta’s five-game winning streak and added to their three-game sweep of the Braves in New York to start the season. Gee (1-1) was never in much trouble. Atlanta put together a couple of hits and a walk in the second inning, leading to its only run on Jack Wilson’s RBI groundout.

Nationals 6, Astros 3

Steve Lombardozzi had three singles and a two-run double in the sixth off Kyle Weiland (0-2) that gave Washington a 4-2 lead.

Padres 7, Rockies 1
Cory Luebke threw seven efficient innings and Chase Headley tied a team record with three doubles, helping San Diego snap a four-game skid with a victory over Colorado in Denver. Luebke (1-1) breezed through the Rockies lineup on a brisk night, giving up six hits and one run. Nick Hundley drove in three runs, Cameron Maybin added two RBIs and Headley scored three runs. Not only that, but Headley’s three doubles was the 35th time in team history a player has done that and the first since Hundley on Aug. 31, 2010.

Phillies 5, Giants 2
Roy Halladay outlasted Tim Lincecum in a matchup of two-time Cy Young Award winners, leading Philadelphia to a win at San Francisco. Halladay (3-0) struck out six and allowed seven hits in eight innings on a crisp and cool spring night along the bay. He also had an RBI single in a rematch of aces from the 2010 N.L. Championship Series. Laynce Nix’s two-run double highlighted a four-run first off Lincecum (0-2) that produced all the power Philadelphia needed. The Phillies chased San Francisco’s shaggy-haired and struggling right-hander after he gave up five runs and eight hits in six innings.
