MLB report: Michael Harris lifts Atlanta in first game as it sweeps doubleheader

Eddie Rosario hit a tiebreaking home run in the sixth inning and visiting Atlanta held on to beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-5, Wednesday night and sweep a doubleheader.

Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuna Jr. had solo homers earlier for Atlanta, which scored in five of the first six innings.

Andy Ibanez, Matt Vierling and Jake Rogers also cleared the fences in the second game, pulling Detroit into a tie at 5 after five innings.

Collin McHugh (3-0) pitched three perfect innings after starter Dylan Dodd allowed five runs on six hits and three walks in four innings.

In Atlanta's 10-7 win earlier in the day, Michael Harris went 4-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs while Acuna Jr. had three hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs.

“They’re unafraid and there’s no defensiveness to them when they’re in the batter’s box,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “It starts at the top with Acuna and they’re a threat from pitch one. Their offense is built with balance. They have power throughout.

"They have a certain flair and freedom that they play with that usually comes with teams that believe they can win.”

Atlanta ace Spencer Strider (7-2) benefitted from pitching for a high-scoring team, picking up the win despite giving up five runs and seven hits in five innings. The righthander gave up three homers, walked two, hit a batter and struck out six to increase his major-league leading total to 127 this season.

“I wasn’t very good, and we won the game, that’s what matters," Strider said. “So, credit to everybody else."

Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, his first of the year and No. 508 of his career, and Eric Haase in the next at-bat had a solo shot that gave the Tigers a 4-0 lead in the second inning.

Blue Jays 3, Orioles 1: Jose Berrios took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, George Springer homered and visiting Toronto ended Baltimore’s five-game winning streak.

Berrios (7-4) allowed only two runners to reach through six innings — on a walk and a hit batter — before Adley Rutschman led off the seventh with a soft liner to centerfield. That ended Berrios’ bid.

Astros 5, Nationals 4: Jose Abreu scored on catcher Keibert Ruiz’s throwing error in the ninth inning to win it for host Houston.

Giants 8, Cardinals 5: Mike Yastrzemski hit a tying two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning and Thairo Estrada had the go-ahead single in the 10th off Steven Matz (0-7) as visiting San Francisco completed a three-game sweep.

Twins 4, Brewers 2: A four-run third inning sparked by Carlos Correa, Joey Gallo and Trevor Larnach vaulted host Minnesota to a series sweep and handed Milwaukee its sixth straight loss.

Rangers 6, Angels 3: Marcus Semien and Corey Seager hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the seventh inning for host Texas. Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Los Angeles.

Reds 7, Royals 4: Matt McLain had a three-run homer in a five-run fifth inning for visiting Cincinnati.

Cubs 10, Pirates 6: Dansby Swanson started a six-run sixth inning with a hit, then capped the rally with an RBI single as host Chicago overcame a four-run deficit.  — AP
