Pirates 3 Orioles 2

Host Pittsburgh plated a pair of runs thanks to an error on the final play of the game to beat Baltimore.

Edward Olivares hit a ball up the middle with the bases loaded, and shortstop Gunnar Henderson made a sliding stop and tagged second for the second out of the ninth before firing to first in an attempt to record a game-ending double play. However, Henderson's throw was wide right and went out of play, allowing the winning run to trot home for the Pirates.

Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run for the Orioles.

Astros 3 Rangers 1

Ronel Blanco followed up his no-hitter with six innings of one-hit shutout ball and Yordan Alvarez slugged a three-run homer as Houston downed Texas in Arlington.

Blanco began the season with a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays last Monday and started Sunday's game with five 2/3 hitless innings. Texas star Adolis Garcia ended the no-hit bid with a sharp single up the middle. Blanco then retired Evan Carter on a flyout to centre to end the sixth and complete his 90-pitch outing.

Justin Foscue had an RBI single in the ninth for the Rangers, who had just two hits while seeing their three-game winning streak end.

Yankees 8 Blue Jays 3

Giancarlo Stanton hit a grand slam in the third inning as host New York ran its record to 8-2 by beating Toronto.

After Anthony Rizzo walked to force in a run and tie the game at 1-1 with two outs in the third inning, Stanton drove a 2-2 fastball from Toronto starter Bowden Francis (0-2). It hit the facing of an advertisement below the second deck in right field, his second straight game with a home run and his 11th career grand slam.

Anthony Volpe had three hits, scored twice and stole two bases. Jake Cousins (1-0) picked up the win in relief of starter Luis Gil, who gave up two runs on two hits but walked four while recording eight strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.
