CHICAGO (AP) - Lorenzo Cain homered in the 13th inning and the Kansas City Royals outlasted the Chicago White Sox 7-6 Saturday in a game that took nearly five hours.
The AL Central-leading Royals won for the 10th time in 13 games.
Cain doubled and singled early, then led off the 13th with his ninth home run of the season. He connected against Dan Jennings (1-3).
Brandon Finnegan (3-0) pitched two scoreless innings in the four-hour, 56-minute game. Ryan Madson earned his first save in three chances after allowing a single in the 13th.
The Royals finished with 17 hits, including five doubles.
CUBS 4, BRAVES 0
ATLANTA (AP) - Jon Lester lost his bid for a no-hitter in the eighth inning - a try revived by an official scorer's reversal - but ended the longest winless streak of his career as Chicago beat Atlanta.
A chopper in the first inning by Atlanta's Nick Markakis was originally ruled a hit, then the scorer changed it in the top of the seventh to an error on third baseman Kris Bryant.
A.J. Pierzynski, Lester's batterymate in Boston last year, led off the eighth with a line-drive single to right field for Atlanta's first hit. With one out, Andrelton Simmons' single up the middle chased Lester.
Lester (5-8) had gone 10 starts without a win. The lefty pitched a no-hitter for the Red Sox in 2008 against Kansas City.
The Cubs had lost eight straight at Turner Field dating to 2012.
Manny Banuelos (1-1) took the loss.
MARINERS 4, YANKEES 3
NEW YORK (AP) - Robinson Cano snapped a season-long slump with a pair of two-run homers against his former team, Hisashi Iwakuma pitched neatly into the sixth and Seattle held on for the win.
Batting .249 with just six homers and 30 RBIs coming in, Cano has taken the brunt of the blame for the Mariners' subpar first half. But he came out swinging against the team he spurned for a huge contract with Seattle before the 2014 season.
The second baseman responded to hearty first-inning boos with a blast off Michael Pineda (9-6) over the center field wall with Kyle Seager aboard, helping the Mariners end a seven-game skid against New York.
Brian McCann hit a tying two-out, two-run shot off Iwakuma (2-1) in the fourth.
Carson Smith gave up an RBI grounder to Garrett Jones in the ninth before getting Didi Gregorius to ground out to Cano with the tying run on second base for his seventh save.
ORIOLES 3, TIGERS 0
DETROIT (AP) - Chris Tillman gave up a leadoff single and not much else and combined with Zach Britton on a one-hitter to lead Detroit.
Ian Kinsler cleanly singled to right-center field to open the bottom of the first. Victor Martinez walked later that inning, but Detroit didn't manage a single baserunner after that.
Tillman (7-7) retired the last 23 hitters he faced and struck out eight overall in eight innings. Britton pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save in 25 chances.
Manny Machado homered off David Price (9-3). The Tigers lefty struck out 12 in seven innings.
DODGERS 4, NATIONALS 2; NATIONALS 5, DODGERS 3, comp. of susp. game.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Clayton Kershaw struck out a season-high 14 in eight shutout innings and Los Angeles earned a split of the two games decided on the day.
Kershaw (7-6), coming off a shutout of the Phillies, scattered three singles and didn't walk a batter. The lefty has won six straight starts against Washington, fashioning an 0.96 ERA in the process.
Bryce Harper struck three times against Kershaw, but hit a two-run homer in the ninth off reliever Kenley Jansen. It was Harper's 27th of the season.
Doug Fister (3-5) allowed four runs and nine hits over five innings.
Hours earlier, pinch-hitter Matt den Dekker lined a two-run homer in the eighth inning that lifted the Nationals over the Dodgers 5-3 in the completion of a game suspended a day earlier after the fifth because of a lighting malfunction with Washington ahead 3-2.
RAYS 3, BLUE JAYS 2
TORONTO (AP) - Curt Casali hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning to lead Tampa Bay.
Facing Ryan Tepera (0-1), Casali led off with a drive into the left-field bullpen, his second of the season and first since June 17.
Brandon Guyer also connected as the Rays won for the eighth time in 12 meetings with Toronto this season.
Jose Bautista homered for the Blue Jays, who fell to 10-19 in one-run games.
Kevin Jepsen (2-5) worked one inning for the win, Brad Boxberger pitched out of a jam in the eighth and Jake McGee finished for his fourth save.
PHILLIES 3, MARLINS 1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Chad Billingsley had his best outing in nearly three years to lead Philadelphia past Miami.
Billingsley (2-3) gave up four hits, walked one and struck out two to help the major league-worst Phillies win their second straight game for the first time since a three-game winning streak June 21-23.
Ryan Howard and Domonic Brown lined RBI singles off Tom Koehler (7-6) in the first inning. The Phillies got just two hits the rest of the game.
Ken Giles pitched around two hits in the eighth for the Phillies, firing a 100 mph fastball past Adeiny Hechavarria to strand runners on second and third. Jonathan Papelbon finished for his 15th save in 15 tries.
INDIANS 9, REDS 4
CINCINNATI (AP) - Michael Brantley, Brandon Moss and Yan Gomes homered - part of a rare Cleveland splurge with Corey Kluber on the mound - and the Indians ended a nine-game losing streak in Cincinnati.
The Indians' skid was their longest anywhere in the majors. Their last victory at Great American was 3-1 on July 2, 2011, when Brantley hit a three-run homer off Homer Bailey.
Brantley connected in the first inning off Anthony DeSclafani (5-7), giving Kluber (5-10) an uncharacteristic cushion. The AL's reigning Cy Young Award winner has gotten the lowest run support in the majors, with Cleveland scoring only 2.3 runs behind him.
Kluber allowed seven hits - three each by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips - in 7 2/3 innings. Cody Allen relieved and gave up Jay Bruce's three-run homer.
CARDINALS 12, METS 2
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jason Heyward matched a career best with five hits, Randal Grichuk had two homers and six RBIs, and John Lackey worked seven strong innings to lead St. Louis.
Mets starter Bartolo Colon (9-8) trailed by four runs after just one-third of an inning and surrendered seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.
Heyward was removed after singling in the eighth, perhaps because he fouled a pitch off his leg earlier in the at-bat.
Grichuk was 3 for 3 with a two-run homer off Carlos Torres that capped a four-run fifth and a three-run shot off Alex Torres in the eighth.
St. Louis improved to major league-bests of 58-33 overall and 33-11 at home.
Lackey (8-5) scattered 10 hits, one of them to .084-hitting Colon, but was hurt only by Michael Cuddyer's eighth homer leading off the sixth.
BREWERS 8, PIRATES 5
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jonathan Lucroy, Aramis Ramirez and Khris Davis homered as Milwaukee took full advantage of a late lineup change.
Pittsburgh left-hander Francisco Liriano was scratched minutes before the game began due to neck stiffness. Sudden starter Vance Worley (3-5) gave up five runs - all with two outs - in four innings.
Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson (7-9) fell into a 3-0 hole before recording an out, but sparked Milwaukee's rally with a two-run single in the second.
Lucroy hit a go-ahead, two-run shot in the fourth. Ramirez had three hits, including a homer in the fifth, and Davis added a pinch-hit blast in the seventh.
Francisco Rodriguez converted his 21st save.
RANGERS 7, ASTROS 6
HOUSTON (AP) - Rougned Odor homered early, then got into a testy exchange at home plate in the ninth inning that escalated into a shouting match between the managers as Texas beat Houston.
Odor hit a two-run homer in the third and later singled. He came up in the ninth and exchanged words with Houston catcher Hank Conger.
Conger moved toward Odor and Texas slugger Prince Fielder raced from the on-deck circle to push the Astros player out of the way. Both benches and bullpens cleared as Fielder and Houston manager A.J. Hinch jawed in the middle of the scrum. There was some pushing before Rangers manager Jeff Banister stepped in front of Fielder. Hinch and Banister engaged in a brief shouting match before order was restored and the game resumed with no ejections.
Odor followed with a triple, keying a two-run burst that made it 7-4.
Colby Lewis (9-4) allowed four hits and two runs in 7 1/3 innings. Shawn tolleson gave up a two-run homer to Conger in the ninth before retiring the next three batters for his 14th save.
Houston's Scott Feldman (4-5) gave up nine hits and four runs in 5 2/3 innings.
PADRES 5, ROCKIES 4
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Clint Barmes hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh and rookie catcher Austin Hedges homered and threw out a runner to help San Diego to its fourth straight win.
The Padres, who have underperformed after general manager A.J. Preller revamped the roster in a series of dazzling offseason moves, matched their season-high winning streak. They also won four straight from June 2-6.
The game was tied at 3 in the seventh when pinch-hitter Melvin Upton Jr. drew a leadoff walk off Christian Friedrich (0-2). Tommy Kahnle came on and allowed Barmes' homer to deep left.
The Rockies closed to 5-4 on Troy Tulowitzki's homer to deep left off Joaquin Benoit with one out in the eighth.
Brandon Maurer (6-2) got one out for the win. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his 25th save.
ANGELS 3, RED SOX 0
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Garrett Richards pitched a two-hitter for his second career shutout, Kole Calhoun hit two homers, and Los Angeles got its 13th victory in 16 games.
Richards (10-6) allowed just three baserunners and retired Boston's final 15 hitters in order to wrap up the second straight shutout victory for the Angels, who increased their AL West lead to a season-best 1 1/2 games. Richards allowed just one Boston runner to reach third base, retiring 22 of 23 overall to end it.
Pablo Sandoval had both hits for the Red Sox, who have been shut out in consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 7-8, 2009.
Calhoun, who had three hits, led off the third and fifth innings with long homers into the elevated right-field stands off Rick Porcello (5-10).
GIANTS 8, DIAMONDBACKS 4
PHOENIX (AP) - Jake Peavy got his first win of the season, Buster Posey drove in four runs, and San Francisco won its fifth straight.
The win gave San Francisco its 10th straight series victory in Arizona. The Giants haven't won this many series in a row on the road since they took 13 straight against the Boston Beaneaters/Doves from 1903 to 1907.
The Diamondbacks, two games into a 10-game homestand, have lost five straight since climbing to .500.
Peavy (1-4) allowed four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. Sergio Romo pitched the final 1 1/3 innings for his first save of the season.
The Diamondbacks' Chase Anderson (4-4) had his shortest outing of the season. In 3 2/3 innings, he allowed seven runs on 10 hits, nine of them singles.
ATHLETICS 3, TWINS 2, 10 INNINGS
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Stephen Vogt hit a game-ending single in the 10th inning to lift Oakland past Minnesota.
After the teams were held to one total run in the first eight innings behind sharp pitching from Oakland's Scott Kazmir and Minnesota's Phil Hughes, the game opened up late.
The Twins took the lead with two runs in the top of the ninth - only to squander it when pinch-hitter Jake Smolinski tied it in the bottom half to give Glen Perkins his first blown save of the season.
The A's then won it in the 10th. Billy Burns led off with a double against Casey Fein (2-4) and stole third. Vogt followed with a clean single to left to give Oakland its second walk-off win of the season.
Drew Pomeranz (4-3) pitched the 10th for the victory.
