Jordy Mercer went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBIs for the Pirates. Pittsburgh lost for the ninth time in the past 10 games and fell to 1-7 against the Cubs this season.
Angles 7, Athletics 1: Tim Lincecum made a triumphant return to the major leagues Saturday in his debut for the Los Angeles Angels, pitching six strong innings in a 7-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Lincecum, who won back-to-back Cy Young award with San Francisco in 2008-09, gave up one run on four hits, struck out two, walked two and threw 98 pitches.
Indians 13, White Sox 2: Tyler Naquin had three hits, including a home run, and four RBIs, and Mike Napoli and Juan Uribe also homered as Cleveland routed James Shields and Chicago.
The Indians, who have won the first two games of the series, made quick work of Shields (0-2), racing out to an 8-0 lead after two innings. In his last four starts, which includes his final one in San Diego and first three with the White Sox, Shields is 0-3 with a 24.62 ERA.
Royals 16, Tigers 5: Kendrys Morales and Whit Merrifield combined to drive in nine runs as Kansas City routed Detroit.
Merrifield had three hits and drove in four runs.
Morales had four hits and drove in five runs. Morales' two-run double in the seventh scored Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez, who was walked intentionally.
Rangers 4, Cardinals 3: Choo Shin-soo's bases-loaded walk with one out in the ninth inning tied the score and Ian Desmond's sacrifice fly delivered the winning run as Texas erased a 3-0 deficit with two outs in the eighth to win its fifth straight game.
