Rockies rake Dodgers for 19 hits in 12-2 rout

LOS ANGELES: Nolan Arenado recorded his first three major-league hits — including a home run — and Tyler Chatwood pitched six shutout innings and went 3-for-4 with two RBIs in a 12-2 victory for visiting Colorado over Los Angeles.
The Rockies did not take batting practice after a mechanical problem with their plane led to a late arrival in Los Angeles.
It hardly mattered, though, as they recorded 19 hits, the most at Dodger Stadium in team history en route to only their third win in the last nine games.
Giants 6 Diamondbacks 4: Brandon Belt homered and drove in three runs as visiting San Francisco snapped a five-game losing streak.
Belt broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth with a two-out, two-run single off Brad Ziegler (1-1). Ziegler retired the next two batters before loading the bases with consecutive walks to Gregor Blanco and Brandon Crawford.
Jean Machi (1-0) earned his first major-league victory with a scoreless seventh inning and Sergio Romo worked around a leadoff single in the ninth for his ninth save for San Francisco, which ended a six-game road losing skid.
Marlins 4 Mets 3 (15 innings): Nick Green’s second sacrifice fly of the game plated Justin Ruggiano with the winning run in the bottom of the 15th inning as Miami rallied to beat New York.
Rob Brantly singled home the tying run for his third hit before Green lifted a pitch by Shaun Marcum (0-2) to left field to win the contest.
Ruben Tejada, who had three hits, put New York ahead 3-2 in to the top of the 15th with an RBI infield single off winning pitcher Jon Rauch (1-2).
Braves 3 Nationals 2: Andrelton Simmons drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly, lifting hosts Atlanta in the opener of a four-game series.
Washington took a 2-1 lead in the second on run-scoring singles by Chad Tracy and Kurt Suzuki. Atlanta tied the contest at 2-2 in the fourth on Gerald Laird’s single to center.
Washington starter Stephen Strasburg gave up two runs with eight strikeouts in six innings and remains 1-4 on the season.
Cubs 5 Padres 3: Cody Ransom homered and drove in the go-ahead run against his former team as hosts Chicago claimed the opener of a four-game series.
Scott Hairston and Ransom hit back-to-back home runs while Darwin Barney had a pair of RBI doubles for the Cubs, who have won four of five.
Ransom, who was waived by the Padres after starting the season 0-for-11, broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth with an RBI single up the middle and scored on Barney’s slicing double down the right-field line.
Reds 2, Cardinals 1 Mat Latos pitched six shutout innings to outduel Adam Wainwright as visiting Cincinnati claimed the opener of the three-game series.
Latos (2-0) allowed five hits and walked three while extending his scoreless string to 17 innings and lowering his ERA to 1.84, while Aroldis Chapman worked a perfect ninth to record his sixth save in six chances.
Joey Votto had an RBI single for the Reds, who went ahead 2-0 in the fourth on a run-scoring groundout by Xavier Paul.
Brewers 10 Pirates 4: Jean Segura sparked a five-run first inning with a two-run blast as hosts Milwaukee continued their recent domination of Pittsburgh.
Yovani Gallardo (3-1) homered for the second time this season and retired the final 13 batters he faced before departing after seven innings, allowing two runs.
Carlos Gomez, Yuniesky Betancourt and Norichika Aoki also went deep for the Brewers.
