MLB roundup: Astros' Dusty Baker gets 2,000th win

Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve slugged solo home runs, and Jeremy Pena singled in two runs as Dusty Baker earned his 2,000th managerial win in the Houston Astros' 4-0 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Tuesday.

Baker is the 12th manager in the majors to reach the plateau, and 10 of the previous 11 are in the Hall of Fame. Bruce Bochy, who has 2,003 wins, is not yet eligible. Baker improved to 2,000-1,745 overall and 137-109 in two-plus seasons with the Astros.

Alvarez snapped a scoreless tie with a solo homer in the fourth inning for a second consecutive night, this time taking Mariners right-hander Chris Flexen (1-4) out 435 feet to straightaway center field. Alvarez, who went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, has hit five homers over his last nine games. He has seven for the season.

Flexen limited the Astros to just that run while allowing two hits and three walks over five innings.

Dodgers 3, Giants 1

Julio Urias went six scoreless innings and Chris Taylor hit a two-run single as Los Angeles got the best of visiting San Francisco in the first game of the season between the National League West rivals.

Craig Kimbrel recorded his fifth save in five chances as the Dodgers improved to 3-1 on a brief five-game homestand that ends with another meeting against the Giants on Wednesday.

Carlos Rodon gave up just three hits in six innings but lost his first game in a Giants uniform in his fifth start. Thairo Estrada and Austin Slater each had two hits for San Francisco, which lost for the fourth time in its past five games.

Rays 10, Athletics 7 (10 innings)

Mike Zunino's pinch-hit two-run homer in the ninth inning set up Yandy Diaz's go-ahead double in the 10th to lift visiting Tampa Bay over Oakland.
