Lance McCullers Jr. pitched six scoreless innings and the Houston Astros continued the best start in team history with a 5-1 victory over the New York Yankees Friday.
McCullers (3-1) followed Dallas Keuchel's six scoreless innings from Thursday's series opener by scattering four hits. He struck out seven without a walk.
Brian McCann belted a three-run homer, and Carlos Correa and Josh Reddick each had an RBI single for the Astros (25-11), who surpassed the best 36-game start in team history set in 1972.
The Yankees tied a season high with their third straight loss.
Dodgers 6, Rockies 2: Clayton Kershaw improved to 20-6 in 35 career starts against Colorado in Los Angeles' win.
Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood had control problems in the second inning and the Dodgers batted around and strafed him for five runs.
Kershaw (6-2) is 9-1 with a 2.36 ERA in his last 11 starts against the Rockies.
Cubs 3, Cardinals 2: Eddie Butler fired six shutout innings and won his first big league start of the year, lifting Chicago over St Louis at Busch Stadium.

Willson Contreras led the Cubs, cracking two of their three solo homers. Tommy La Stella belted the third.
Royals 3, Orioles 2: Lorenzo Cain scored on Eric Hosmer's eighth-inning double as Kansas City topped Baltimore.
Brewers 7, Mets 4: Matt Garza worked six strong innings and Milwaukee hit four home runs against New York at Miller Park.
Three of the homers came at the expense of Mets starter Matt Harvey (2-3), who allowed five runs, seven hits and five walks while striking out seven in five-plus innings in his first action since a three-game suspension for violating team rules.
Rangers 5, A's 2: For the second time in as many nights, Texas entered the bottom of the ninth inning trailing by one run and emerged victorious against Oakland, this time on a three-run walk-off homer by Joey Gallo.
Twins 1, Indians 0: Ervin Santana pitched seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball and Miguel Sano's first-inning homer produced the only run for Minnesota in a win over Cleveland at Progressive Field.
