Roupp pitches into seventh inning, Giants beat Nationals 4-0
WASHINGTON (AP) — Landen Roupp pitched into the seventh inning, Jung Hoo Lee had two hits and scored two runs, and the San Francisco Giants beat Washington 4-0 on Friday night, ending the Nationals' five-game winning streak.
Roupp (3-3) allowed five hits, struck out two and walked two before leaving after allowing a double and a walk to start the seventh.
Nationals starter MacKenzie Gore (2-5) also pitched in the seventh. After walking Lee to open the inning, Gore grimaced following a 1-0 pitch to Matt Chapman. Manager Dave Martinez and the trainer came out and, after a brief discussion, Gore left the game.
Gore said his left leg tightened up after he was hit by a comebacker earlier in the game.
Jackson Rutledge came on and walked Chapman to put runners on first and second with no outs. Wilmer Flores hit into a double play, but Willy Adames singled to score Lee from third and give the Giants a 1-0 lead. Rutledge then walked three straight hitters to force in San Francisco's second run.
Gore was charged with a run and two hits. He struck out nine and walked three while throwing 91 pitches. He bounced back from a start in which he allowed two runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings while striking out nine in a no-decision against the Orioles.
The Giants scored two more runs in the eighth on Wilmer Flores' RBI single and a wild pitch by Andrew Chafin with the bases loaded.
Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile went 1 for 2 in his major league debut.
Key moment
Randy Rodriguez replaced Roupp with the tying runs on base in the seventh and struck out Robert Hassell III and got Jose Tena to ground into a double play.
Key stat
After starting the year with a 5.10 ERA in six games in April, Roupp has a 1.64 ERA in four starts this month.
Up next
Braves LHP Kyle Harrison (0-0, 3.38 ERA) makes his first start of the season in place of the injured Justin Verlander, and will face Nationals RHP Jake Irvin (3-1, 3.88).

Red Sox manager Alex Cora proclaims his team 'not getting better' following 8th loss in 10 games
BOSTON — Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been proclaiming recently that he didn't think his team was far from putting good baseball together following a dismal stretch of games. Those days of optimism appear to be dwindling after Boston's latest setback. The Red Sox lost their 17th one-run game of the season on Tuesday, this time falling 4-3 to the Los Angeles Angels in 10 innings filled with missed opportunities, poor execution defensively and another inconsistent night from the bullpen. It was their eighth loss in 10 games. They are now 9-10-1 in series play, including 4-5-1 at Fenway Park.

Mariners right-hander George Kirby takes line drive to face, exits game
SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby exited Tuesday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles after taking a line drive to the face. With two outs in the fifth inning, Kirby threw a fastball inside to Orioles third baseman Ramón Urías, which he promptly ripped right back up the middle. The baseball made contact with Kirby's face, and he immediately jogged off the field as blood flowed from his mouth. Kirby was promptly attended to by the Mariners training staff. Kirby did not return for the sixth inning, although he had already thrown 95 pitches by the time of his departure. Urías was retired on the play since the ball ricocheted off Kirby's face toward first base, and was fielded by Seattle first baseman Rowdy Tellez. ___ AP MLB:

MIAMI — The woeful Colorado Rockies have ended their ignominious, record-setting MLB streak of 22 consecutive series losses, which dated to last season. A nervy 3-2 victory at Miami on Tuesday night, highlighted by Hunter Goodman's third home run in two games, gave Colorado two straight victories over the Marlins to ensure the Rockies would leave town with their first series victory since taking two of three games from Arizona in Denver in mid-September.
