Bumgarner has 7-inning no-hitter, doesn't count in records

ATLANTA (AP) – Madison Bumgarner threw a seven-inning no-hitter, an achievement that won’t count in the Major League Baseball record book but completed a dominant day of Arizona Diamondbacks pitching for a 7-0 win over the Atlanta Braves and a doubleheader sweep Sunday. Bumgarner (2-2) struck out seven and walked none. The only Braves batter who reached base against him came on shortstop Nick Ahmed’s throwing error in the second inning. Officially, Bumgarner’s gem won’t count in the list of no-hitters. MLB’s eight-man committee on statistical accuracy decided in 1991 that a no-hitter was a game of nine or more innings that ended with no hits. In the opener, Zac Gallen (1-0) pitched a one-hitter, allowing Freddie Freeman’s sharp single to right-center field with one out in the sixth of a 5-0 win. This was the first time a team pitched two complete-game shutouts in a doubleheader since Boston’s Reggie Cleveland and Don Aase at Toronto on Sept. 5 1977 Arizona has won six of seven. Stephen Vogt and Kole Calhoun homered in the first game, Bryse Wilson (1-1) allowed four hits, including both home runs, in four innings. Drew Smyly (0-1) gave up six runs – five earned – over four innings in the second game, allowing homers to Pavin Smith, David Peralta and Eduardo Escobar homered. ORIOLES 8, ATHLETICS 1 BALTIMORE (AP) – Oakland’s 13-game winning streak ended as Austin Hays hit his first two home runs. The A’s, who opened the season with six straight losses, put together their third-longest winning string since moving to Oakland in 1968. Oakland won 14 in a row in 1988 and a then-American League record of 20 consecutive wins in 2002. Cleveland broke that mark with 22 straight in 2017. The Athletics’ string had been the longest in the majors since that run by the Indians. John Means (2-0) allowed one run and two hits in 6 1/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.50. Jesús Luzardo (1-2) allowed three runs and seven hits with eight strikeouts and two walks over a season-high 6 2/3 innings. PADRES 8, DODGERS 7, 11 INNINGS LOS ANGELES (AP) – Fernando Tatís Jr. scored on Eric Hosmer’s sacrifice fly in the 11th off Garrett Cleavinger (0-1) and San Diego rallied from a late six-run deficit. Manny Machado delivered the tying RBI single in the ninth inning for the Padres, who claimed their third win in this dramatic four-game series between Southern California rivals in appropriately theatrical fashion. San Diego trailed 7-1 entering the seventh, but scored two runs in each of the next three innings to force the defending World Series champs into extras on a chilly night at Chavez Ravine. Tim Hill (1-2) escaped a 10th-inning jam by striking out pinch-hitter Clayton Kershaw and rookie DJ Peters, who swung at a fastball well above the strike zone on a full count. Mark Melancon then earned his eighth save. ROCKIES 12, PHILLIES 2 DENVER (AP) – Trevor Story hit a grand slam to cap a seven-run fourth inning, letting loose a shout to his dugout and a big bat flip, and Colorado overcame two solo home runs by Bryce Harper. Story hit his third career slam and second home run on a 2-2 curveball from Dave Hale, sending the ball 433 feet into the left-field seats. Story did not hit his first home run of the season until Friday, in his 68th at-bat. Harper hit a 430-foot drive to right-center in the first and a 468-foot drive that landed on the second deck above Philadelphia’s bullpen beyond right-center in the third, both off Sonny Gray (3-1), who gave up two runs and four hits in six innings. Colorado had a season-high 16 hits, four by C.J. Cron. Chase Anderson (0-3) gave up six runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. INDIANS 7, YANKEES 3
