Bumgarner powers Giants overs Rockies
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 06 - 2015

NEW YORK — Madison Bumgarner pitched 7-2/3 strong innings, and helped his cause with a home run, powering San Francisco over Colorado 6-3 in the National League Sunday.

Matt Duffy had a double, a triple and a home run, and Buster Posey drove in three runs with a pair of singles as the Giants won their second in a row to take the three-game series after the Rockies won the opener.

Dodgers 2, Marlins 0: Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke, who had gone 10 straight starts without a win even though he is leading the majors in ERA, broke his streak with a win against the Miami Marlins.

Greinke (6-2), who had been 0-2 with eight no-decisions during his winless streak, has a 1.58 ERA after getting his first win since May 5.

Mets 2, Reds 1 (13 innings, suspended game): First baseman Lucas Duda's RBI fielder's choice grounder finally snapped a tie in the 13th inning and lifted the New York Mets to a win over the Cincinnati Reds in the completion of Saturday's game, which was suspended with the two teams tied 1-1 after six innings.

Mets 7, Reds 2: Steven Matz had a major league debut to remember when the New York Mets left-hander threw 7-2/3 strong innings and tied franchise records for pitchers with three hits and four RBIs at the plate as he led his team to a win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Braves 2, Pirates 1: Atlanta's Alex Wood pitched 7-1/3 shutout innings and the Braves avoided a sweep by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In other games it was: Nationals 3, Phillies 2 (Game One); Phillies 8, Nationals 5 (Game Two); Diamondbacks 6, Padres 4; Cardinals 4, Cubs 1.

American League

Blue Jays 3, Rangers 2: Third baseman Josh Donaldson homered and right-hander Drew Hutchison struck out eight in 5-2/3 innings to lead Toronto over Texas.

Hutchison (8-1) allowed four hits, three walks and one unearned run to win his fifth consecutive decision as the Blue Jays took the rubber match of the three-game series.

Astros 3, Yankees 1: Right-hander Collin McHugh pitched eight strong innings while rookie shortstop Carlos Correa doubled and scored twice as Houston salvaged a split of the four-game weekend series.

McHugh (9-3) won a third consecutive start by limiting the Yankees (41-35) to one run on two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.

Tigers 5, White Sox 4: James McCann drove an 0-2 pitch from Chicago reliever Zach Putnam over the left-field wall for his third home run of the year and second walk-off winner to give Detroit victory over the Chicago White Sox.

The home run rewarded Detroit right-handed reliever Joakim Soria (3-0), who pitched a scoreless top of the ninth.

Red Sox 5, Rays 3: The Red Sox got to Tampa Bay ace Chris Archer, tagging him for three home runs.

The Red Sox (34-43) got solo home runs from third baseman Pablo Sandoval and left fielder Alejandro De Aza, then a two-run shot from designated hitter David Ortiz, helping them take two of three in the divisional series.

Elsewhere it was: Angels 3, Mariners 2 (10 innings); Royals 5, Athletics 3; Orioles 4, Indians 0 (Game One); Orioles 8, Indians 0.

Inter-League
