¦ Cardinals: Alex Reyes’ return after a 20-month absence lasted just four innings. The 23-year-old RHP was put on the 10-day disabled list because of a strained muscle in his right side. Coming back from Tommy John surgery, Reyes was hurt on Wednesday when he allowed three hits in four scoreless innings in Milwaukee in his first big-league appearance since Sept. 29, 2016.

¦ Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw’s first start in almost a month was spoiled as Jorge Alfaro drove in two runs to lead the Phillies to a 2-1 victory. Kershaw, who was on the disabled list with left biceps tendinitis, gave up one run and four hits in five innings, throwing 62 pitches.

¦ Mariners: 2B Dee Gordon was activated off the 10-day disabled list and reinserted into his customary leadoff spot against the Rangers. Infielder Gordon Beckham was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. Gordon still led the American League with 16 stolen bases entering the game despite missing time with a fractured toe.

¦ Athletics: Daniel Mengden allowed three runs in eight innings in a 7-3 victory against the Rays.

Mengden (6-4) extended his scoreless streak to 25 innings before he gave up three straight hits, including a two-run double by Wilson Ramos, in the ninth.

It’s the longest streak by an A’s pitcher since former closer Sean Doolittle went 26 1 /3 in 2014.

¦ Astros: Carlos Correa snapped an 0-for-10 slump with a two-run homer in the first, and Tony Kemp and Jake Marisnick drove in runs to help the Astros top the Red Sox 4-2. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Red Sox, who at 39-18 still have baseball’s best record.

Astros starter Lance McCullers (7-3) allowed four hits and two runs in six innings.

¦ Phillies: Slugger Rhys Hoskins went on the 10-day DL with a broken jaw the team says likely will not need surgery. Hoskins could be back in a matter of weeks instead of months, manager Gabe Kapler said. Hoskins fouled a ball off his mouth Monday against the Dodgers.
