MLB roundup: Gerrit Cole to 5-0 as Yanks win despite Aaron Judge injury

Gerrit Cole pitched 6 2/3 innings to become one of three five-game winners in the majors and the visiting New York Yankees took an early lead to beat the Texas Rangers 4-2 Thursday night in Arlington, Texas.

DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres hit back-to-back homers in a three-run second off Texas starter Andrew Heaney (2-2). Rookie Anthony Volpe hit a bases-loaded RBI single before Heaney retired the next 13 hitters. New York scored its final run when Jose Trevino smacked a homer in the ninth.

The Yankees won their second straight in a game that Aaron Judge exited in the fourth inning due to right hip discomfort. The New York slugger appeared to grimace with some discomfort after striking out in his second at-bat after Volpe's single in the second inning and was replaced two innings later

Cole (5-0) allowed two runs and six hits, striking out eight and walking one in a 92-pitch outing. Heaney allowed three runs and four hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked one while throwing 97 pitches.

Marlins 5, Braves 4

Garrett Cooper's two-out, two-run double in the ninth inning capped a five-run rally and gave visiting Miami a win over Atlanta, ending the Marlins' four-game losing streak and salvaging a game in the four-game series.

Five Braves pitchers had combined to shut out Miami through eight innings. But the Marlins rallied against Atlanta closer A.J. Minter to win their first game of the season when trailing after the eighth inning.

Miami got run-scoring singles from Yuli Gurriel, Avisail Garcia and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Atlanta lifted Minter in favor of Jesse Chavez and Cooper doubled to center field on a 2-2 pitch to drive home the tying and go-ahead runs.

Mets 9, Nationals 8

Jeff McNeil scored New York's first run and
