MLB roundup: Jose Suarez, Angels blank A's 1-0

Luis Rengifo hit the eighth pitch of the game for a home run and Jose Suarez won a pitchers' duel over fellow left-hander Cole Irvin as the visiting Los Angeles Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 1-0 in the opener of a three-game series Monday night.

The Angels recorded the win, their third in the past five games, despite sitting out star Shohei Ohtani, who got spiked atop the left foot in a freak accident during their Sunday loss in Seattle.

Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said holding out Ohtani was done in order to rest him for his scheduled pitching start Tuesday rather than anything to do with his foot injury.

Suarez (4-4) worked seven innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out eight. Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera (second save) each threw a perfect inning. Irvin (6-9) gave up one run on five hits and no walks with six strikeouts in eight innings.

Left-hander Alex Wood and three relievers combined to shut out the Padres as visiting San Francisco earned a shutout win in San Diego in the opener of a three-game series.

Wood (8-9) gave up three hits and no walks with five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. He was followed by John Brebbia, Tyler Rogers and closer Camilo Doval, who worked a perfect ninth for his 15th save.

Blake Snell (4-6) gave up the game's only run on six hits. He surrendered two walks and tallied eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. The Padres have been shut out in back-to-back games and have lost five in a row.

Yankees 9, Mariners 4

Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 44th home run and Josh Donaldson went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs as New York snapped a season-worst, five-game losing streak with a victory against host Seattle.

Judge hit a 425-foot shot to
