LOS ANGELES — Left-hander Clayton Kershaw extended his streak of consecutive scoreless innings to 37 while leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in an Inter-League game Saturday in front of 52,979 at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw (9-6) retired the final 14 batters he faced, permitted only two hits and a walk and finished with seven strikeouts in eight innings. The left-hander took the mound in the top of the ninth inning to an ovation, but was replaced by right-handed closer Kenley Jansen when C.J. Cron was announced as a pinch hitter. The Angels lost their fifth consecutive game to match their longest losing streak this year. Angels manager Mike Scioscia was ejected in the second inning by plate umpire Chris Segal for arguing balls and strikes. Astros 9, Diamondbacks 2: Catcher Hank Conger and shortstop Carlos Correa each hit two home runs as the Houston Astros produced a 9-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Conger clubbed his seventh and eighth home runs, the second of which was a grand slam, while Correa hit his 11th and 12th to account for the Astros' four homers and eight of their nine RBIs. Giants 9, Rangers 7 (11 innings): San Francisco right fielder Hunter Pence blasted a solo homer to left in the 11th inning to lift the Giants to a 9-7 come-from-behind win over Texas. The Giants trailed by three in the eighth inning against new Texas starter Cole Hamels but rallied against the Rangers bullpen and set the stage for Pence. Hamels went 7-2/3 innings, giving up eight hits and five runs in his 97-pitch effort. He also struck out six. American League Red Sox 11, Rays 7: Third baseman Travis Shaw slugged the first two home runs of his major league career and had three RBIs as the Boston Red Sox produced an 11-7 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Shaw finished with a career-high four hits and also scored five runs, becoming the first Red Sox player to do so since Dustin Pedroia scored five times against the Texas Rangers on Aug 12, 2008. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts and right fielder Rusney Castillo each drove in three runs for Boston, who pounded out 16 hits. Royals 7, Blue Jays 6: Ben Zobrist hit two home runs while Yordano Ventura pitched seven innings as the Kansas City Royals came back to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays. Ventura (6-7) allowed six hits and five runs in seven innings while Greg Holland pitched the ninth for his 23rd save. The Blue Jays opened a 5-1 lead on home runs by Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista in the fifth before the Royals cut the lead to one with a three-run sixth. Orioles 6, Tigers 2: Caleb Joseph and Manny Machado both homered while starter Kevin Gausman threw seven solid innings as the Baltimore Orioles recorded a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

A's 5, Indians 1: Right-hander Aaron Brooks allowed one run in 7-1/3 innings in his Oakland debut while shortstop Marcus Semien hit a solo home run to lift the A's to a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Brooks (1-0) came to the A's on Tuesday from Kansas City along with minor-league right-hander Sean Manaea in a trade for utility man Ben Zobrist.
