Toronto 5, Boston 4
Russell Martin spent the first six innings of Saturday's game trying to catch R.A. Dickey's dancing knuckleball and missing fastballs he felt he should have punished.
Texas 11, Minnesota 7
Once the Texas Rangers got out of the habit of hitting into double plays Saturday, there was no stopping the offense.
Pittsburgh 4, Philadelphia 3
When the Philadelphia Phillies loaded the bases with no outs and trailed by a run in the eighth inning, it appeared Pittsburgh right-hander Gerrit Cole would have his 10th win of the season pulled from underneath him.
Cleveland 5, Detroit 4
Justin Verlander looked good in his first appearance of the season, and he looked even better to the Cleveland Indians when he was out of the game.
Tampa Bay 5, Chi. White Sox 4
In a game that changed directions three times from the seventh inning on, the Tampa Bay Rays got the biggest reversal of all.
Seattle 8, Houston 1
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon effectively tempered the enthusiasm following a welcome victory, but the truth remains that Seattle sorely needed the offense it showcased on Saturday and the pitching left-hander Mike Montgomery continues to produce in a pinch.
St. Louis 3, Kansas City 2
Tyler Lyons had not won a game in the major leagues in more than two years; and, as the fly ball off the bat of Kendrys Morales headed toward right field in the eighth inning Saturday, he wondered whether that streak was going to go on even longer.
Atlanta 5, NY Mets 3
A bullpen melted down again Saturday during a game involving the Atlanta Braves. But this time, the Braves were the beneficiaries instead of the instigators.
Miami 4, Colorado 1
Manager Walt Weiss of the Colorado Rockies was asked for a comparison to Giancarlo Stanton after the Miami Marlins right fielder had just wrecked his club.
Washington 7, Milwaukee 2
The Milwaukee Brewers knew there would be some growing pains when they inserted young right-hander Jimmy Nelson into their starting rotation this season, so his up-and-down start isn't surprising.
Baltimore 9, NY Yankees 4
The Baltimore Orioles kept their winning streak alive by employing the same formula they've used all week -- lots of power and a strong bullpen.
Arizona 4, San Francisco 2
Right-hander Allen Webster saved the best start of his season for his debut Saturday with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Chi. Cubs 4, Cincinnati 3
Kris Bryant already has a reputation as a hitter, but the Chicago Cubs third baseman showed his prowess on the bases Saturday night.
LA Angels 1, Oakland 0
Designated hitter Albert Pujols is providing fuel not only for his own ascent through baseball's records but for the Los Angeles Angels' surge in the American League West.
San Diego 2, LA Dodgers 1
It came down to a classic matchup -- Padres left fielder Justin Upton versus Dodgers right-handed ace Zack Greinke.
