<p>NEW YORK — The last-place New York Yankees lost their fifth straight game as Yoshi Tsutsugo hit a tiebreaking double off Gerrit Cole in the seventh inning that lifted the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-2 win Sunday and a three-game sweep.</p>
<p>Four pitchers combined on the Rays’ second three-hitter of a series in which New York managed 11 hits in all.</p>
<p>Cole (2-1) was hurt by slipshod defense that made three mistakes in the third inning alone, two by center fielder Aaron Hicks and one by left fielder Clint Frazier.</p>
<p>Joey Wendle added a ninth-inning home run off Darren O’Day.</p>
<p>Tampa Bay has won 16 of its last 21 against the Yankees, including in last year’s Division Series. </p>
<p>Ryan Yarbrough (2-1) followed opener Andrew Kittredge and allowed one run and two hits in five innings. Diego Castillo got four outs, and Jeffrey Springs pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his first big league save.</p>
<p>INDIANS 6, REDS 3</p>
<p>CINCINNATI — Shane Bieber kept up his record strikeout run, fanning 13 and pitching Cleveland past Cincinnati.</p>
<p>Bieber (2-1) become the first pitcher in big league history to begin a season with four straight starts with at least 10 strikeouts.</p>
<p>The AL Cy Young Award winner has 48 strikeouts this year, matching Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan for the most through the first four start of a season. Bieber has fanned at least eight in a 16 straight starts, one short of Randy Johnson’s major league mark.</p>
<p>Bieber went eight innings, allowing three runs and six hits with two walks.</p>
<p>Emmanuel Clase struck out the side in the ninth, again hitting 100 mph with his heater, to earn his fourth save.</p>
<p>The Indians hit three home runs, all with two outs, to salvage a win in the all-Ohio series.</p>
<p>Roberto Pérez hit a three-run homer off Wade Miley (2-1) over the center field wall with two on in the fourth inning for a 4-0 lead.</p>
<p>PHILLIES 2, CARDINALS 0</p>
<p>PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Nola struck out 10 and threw a two-hitter for his first nine-inning shutout in the majors, leading Philadelphia past St. Louis.</p>
<p>Bryce Harper homered and had three hits for the Phillies. His 111.8 mph shot off righty John Gant (0-1) went 425 feet.</p>
<p>Nola (1-1) threw 109 pitches and did little more than give a small fist bump when he completed the milestone.</p>
<p>Gant struck out five and walked five in five innings. Alec Bohm touched him for a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning for a 2-0 lead.</p>
<p>DIAMONDBACKS 5, NATIONALS 2</p>
<p>WASHINGTON — Madison Bumgarner had his best outing of the season, allowing a run over five innings as Arizona beat Washington.</p>

<p>Trea Turner hit two solo homers for the Nationals.</p>
<p>GIANTS 1, MARLINS 0</p>
<p>MIAMI — Alex Wood pitched five innings in his season debut and four relievers completed a three-hitter as San Francisco scored an unearned run to beat Miami and avert a series sweep.</p>
<p>Wood (1-0), returning from a back problem that sidelined him midway through spring training, allowed three hits and walked none.</p>
<p>Tyler Rogers pitched a perfect ninth for his first save to complete the Giants’ third shutout in their past seven games.</p>
<p>Pablo López (0-2) had a career-high nine strikeouts and allowed only an unearned run in six innings.</p>
<p>WHITE SOX 3, RED SOX 2</p>
<p>BOSTON — Tim Anderson homered on the game’s first pitch, Dallas Keuchel pitched five solid innings and Chicago beat Boston in the opener of a doubleheader.</p>

<p>Keuchel (1-0) gave up two runs and six hits.</p>
<p>Making his fifth major league start, Tanner Houck (0-2) gave up three runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>ROYALS 2, BLUE JAYS 0</p>
<p>KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Salvador Perez tapped his bat twice on the plate to make sure it wasn’t cracked, then sent the next pitch he saw from reliever T.J. Zeuch into the left-field fountains, breaking open a scoreless game and sending Kansas City past Toronto.</p>
<p>Brady Singer kept the Blue Jays off the board through six innings. Kyle Zimmer (1-0) and Josh Staumont each worked a perfect inning, and Greg Holland finished off the two-hitter for his second save of the season.</p>
<p>Perez’s two-run shot off Zeuch (0-2) in the seventh inning came one day after his two-out, walk-off homer gave the Royals a 3-2 win and split of their doubleheader.</p>
<p>Kansas City also won the opener Thursday night to take a series from Toronto for the first time since September 2017.</p>
