Marcus Stroman tossed a one-hitter for his fourth career complete game to dominate the Tampa Bay Rays, and the host Chicago Cubs snapped a four-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory Monday afternoon.
Wander Franco ended Stroman's no-hit bid in the seventh with a flared single to left field. Brandon Lowe followed with the Rays' only walk of the game, but Stroman got Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into an inning-ending double play. Stroman threw 105 pitches and struck out eight.
The Royals used Staumont as the opener in a bullpen game. He set the Cardinals down in order in the first inning, then Mayers came on to retire the next 18 batters to take a perfect game into the eighth inning. The Cardinals finally broke through against Mayers when Nolan Arenado and Willson Contreras hit singles to open the eighth.
Cam Gallagher drove in two runs and Will Brennan went 3-for-4 as Cleveland won for the third time in its last four games. Steven Kwan added two hits, including a run-scoring double. Baltimore righty Tyler Wells took the loss despite giving up only one run in six innings. The Orioles have lost three of their last four games.Corey Seager homered and drove in four runs and four pitchers combined on a shutout as visiting Texas blanked Detroit.
Austin Slater hit his first home run of the year and joined Bailey with four RBIs for the Giants, who have won 11 of their last 14 games. Bailey, Haniger, Slater, Brandon Crawford and Casey Schmitt had three hits apiece for the Giants, who totaled 18, including eight for extra bases.
