Max Scherzer struck out 13 and gave up three hits over 8 2/3 innings, leading the Washington Nationals over the San Diego Padres 5-1 Friday night. Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Michael A. Taylor homered for the Nationals. Scherzer (5-3) got pulled by acting manager Chris Speier in the ninth, and Koda Glover got his fourth save. Speier is filling while manager Dusty Baker is away this weekend to attend his son Darren's high school graduation in California. Luis Perdomo (0-2) allowed three runs over six innings. Dodgers 4, Cubs 0: Alex Wood allowed two hits over five scoreless innings, Chase Utley and Adrian Gonzalez homered, and Los Angeles defeated Chicago in the series opener. Wood extended his career-high scoreless innings streak to 25 1/3, longest in the majors this season. The left-hander began the season in the bullpen, got a chance to sub for some of the Dodgers' injured starters and has remained in the rotation since. Wood (6-0) struck out eight and walked two. The Dodgers have won nine of their last 11 at home, and their 19-8 home record is second-best in the majors. Jake Arrieta (5-4) continued to struggle for the World Series champions, whose three-game winning streak ended. The right-hander gave up four runs and five hits in six innings, struck out nine and walked one. Rockies 10, Cardinals 0: Rookie Antonio Senzatela threw eight sharp innings to grab a share of the major league lead in wins and Charlie Blackmon had a homer and RBI single as part of an eight-run eighth for Colorado. Fresh off a 7-3 road swing, the Rockies kept right on rolling behind Senzatela, who joins Clayton Kershaw, Dallas Keuchel and Ervin Santana with seven victories. Senzatela (7-1) scattered five hits and showed plenty of poise as the 22-year-old escaped trouble courtesy of four double plays. Carlos Martinez (3-4) gave up three runs in 7 1/3 innings. Astros 2, Orioles 0: Jake Marisnick and Carlos Beltran each homered for Houston to back a solid start by Joe Musgrove. Musgrove (4-4) allowed four hits in seven innings before the bullpen closed it out to send the Orioles to their season-high fifth straight loss. Blue Jays 7, Rangers 6: Devon Travis hit his second career grand slam and Toronto posted its fourth straight win. Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales also connected for the Blue Jays, who activated star infielders Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki off the disabled list. Mets 8, Pirates 1: Neil Walker homered twice in his return to his hometown and Jacob deGrom gave New York's bullpen a needed rest. Walker, who grew up in Pittsburgh and played seven seasons for the Pirates, had three hits and drove in four runs. Rays 5, Twins 2: Chris Archer struck out 11 while pitching into the eighth inning and Tampa Bay hit three home runs. Marlins 8, Angels 5: Giancarlo Stanton homered off the retaining wall behind the center field fence, a shot estimated at 460 feet, to lead Miami to victory. Athletics 4, Yankees 1: Masahiro Tanaka struck out a career-high 13 to rebound from the worst stretch of his major league career but wound up a hard-luck loser when reliever Tyler Clippard's wild pickoff throw sparked a go-ahead, two-run eighth inning for Oakland. White Sox 8, Tigers 2: Cabrera homered and had four RBIs, Matt Davidson went deep and Avisail Garcia drove in three runs to lead Chicago over Detroit after the first game of their doubleheader was postponed because of rain. Red Sox 3, Mariners 0: Eduardo Rodriguez pitched six scoreless innings and Boston won its season-high fifth in a row. Royals 6, Indians 4: Jorge Bonifacio's two-run double off Andrew Miller broke an eighth-inning tie and lifted Kansas City. Reds 5, Phillies 2: Tim Adleman tossed eight innings of one-hit ball and Adam Duvall and Scott Schebler homered for Cincinnati. Diamondbacks 4, Brewers 1 (10 innings): Jake Lamb homered in the fourth inning and hit an RBI double in Arizona's two-run 10th, and Arizona extended its winning streak to five games with a 4-2 win over Milwaukee. Braves 2, Giants 0: Jaime Garcia pitched 6 2/3 innings and drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single in the seventh inning to lead Atlanta over San Francisco. — AP
