A day after San Diego’s Dylan Cease threw a no-hitter at Washington, the Padres went with a committee approach to the mound, using eight pitchers. Robert Suarez got the final five outs.

The Royals, in third place in the AL Central behind Cleveland and Minnesota, moved 10 games over .500 at 57-47 and eclipsed last season’s win total. Weaver allowed Rob Refsnyder’s third hit of the night leading off the eighth and walked Connor Wong.
Kirby allowed six hits, struck out seven and walked one in coasting to his first win in a month. Mitch Garver, batting .177, reached base five times with three hits and two walks. After Jazz Chisholm walked to start the game, De La Cruz hit a one-out blast into the left-field stands for his team-leading 18th homer. Two batters later, Burger also sent a shot into the left-field seats.ASTROS 5 DODGERS 0
