Rockies hit a franchise record-tying 7 homers, 2 by Michael Toglia, in 10-6 win over Nationals
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Rockies hit a franchise record-tying seven home runs, including two from Michael Toglia, and Antonio Senzatela won his second game of the season, as Colorado held off the Washington Nationals 10-6 on Tuesday night.
Colorado hit seven homers in a game for the third time in franchise history, matching April 1997 at Montreal and against Cincinnati in May 2016. The Rockies have won three in a row for the second time this season.

Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard and Mickey Moniak also homered for the Rockies.
Senzatela (2-10) allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks in five innings. The right-hander also defeated the Nationals on April 20.

Nathaniel Lowe and Luis García Jr. hit homers for the Nationals, who have lost 10 in a row for the third time since the franchise moved to the nation's capital in 2005.
Key Moment
Washington third baseman Brady House connected on the first two hits of his major league career, including an RBI single in a four-run ninth.
Key Stat
The Rockies' 10 homers in their last two games are the most in any two-game span in franchise history and the most in any two-game span on the road.

Cam Smith hits 2 of Astros' 5 homers in 13-3 win over Athletics
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Cam Smith hit two of Houston's five home runs and finished with four hits as the Astros routed the Athletics 13-3 on Tuesday night to halt their four-game winning streak. Jason Alexander, claimed off waivers from the Athletics last month, pitched six shutout innings for Houston before tiring in the seventh. Mauricio Dubón, Christian Walker and Cooper Hummel also homered for the Astros. Smith and Dubón went back-to-back in the fourth inning. Smith connected for leadoff shots in the second and fourth. He drove in three runs and scored three times. The 22-year-old rookie has five major league homers — and two multihomer games. Dubón followed Smith's second home run with his second this season for a 5-0 lead against A's starter JP Sears, who walked the bases loaded in the first before giving up a two-run single to Jake Meyers. Smith finished off his first four-hit game with an RBI double in the eighth. Alexander (1-0) threw a season-high 95 pitches in his 12th career start and first since Sept. 18, 2022, with Milwaukee. He allowed three runs — two earned — and three hits. Walker hit his 10th homer, a two-run shot off Osvaldo Bido, and Isaac Paredes added a two-run single for a 9-0 lead in the fifth. Dubón singled off T.J. McFarland to begin the seventh and Hummel followed with his first big league homer since Oct. 3, 2022, with Arizona. Gio Urshela, just reinstated from the injured list, went 2 for 2 off the bench and had an RBI single to drive in the first of three runs in the seventh for the A's. Sears (5-6) gave up five runs and five hits in 3 1/3 innings. Rookie catcher Willie MacIver pitched a scoreless ninth. Key moment Houston claimed Alexander off waivers from the Athletics on May 18 and assigned him to Triple-A Sugar Land before calling him up Monday. He allowed 12 earned runs in six innings over four relief appearances for the A's. Key stat Houston has won the season series against the A's in nine of the past 10 years. Up next Astros LHP Framber Valdez (7-4, 3.10 ERA) starts Wednesday opposite Athletics RHP Luis Severino (2-6, 4.47). ___ AP MLB:

Gabriel Arias and Guardians spoil Rafael Devers' Giants debut with 3-2 win
Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gabriel Arias hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and doubled in the ninth on a night when San Francisco celebrated new slugger Rafael Devers at every chance, and the Cleveland Guardians spoiled the fun by beating the Giants 3-2 on Tuesday. Jung Hoo Lee singled to start the bottom of the ninth against Emmanuel Clase, and Devers singled one out later before Heliot Ramos walked to load the bases for Dominic Smith. He flied out and Casey Schmitt struck out to end it as Clase earned his 15th save. Devers went 2 for 5 with two strikeouts in his Giants debut after being acquired in a trade from the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. He hit a go-ahead double in the third inning only for the Guardians to answer on Carlos Santana's RBI single in the fourth. Devers struck out in the first and fifth. Schmitt and Mike Yastrzemski hit consecutive singles to start the eighth against Hunter Gaddis, then Wilmer Flores entered as a pinch hitter. Flores lined out to left fielder Steven Kwan, who fired to second to get Schmitt for the double play. Arias connected for his fifth homer off lefty Robbie Ray (8-2), who struck out five and walked two, allowing three runs on five hits over six innings. Austin Hedges had a sacrifice fly in the third for Cleveland. Slade Cecconi (2-3) struck out six over five innings for the Guardians, who were coming off a sweep by the Mariners in Seattle and had lost five of six overall. Key moment Aside from Ramos' rocket throw home from left field to save a run with a double play to end the top of the ninth, for the Giants the best part of the day began long before first pitch when many of Devers' new teammates took time ahead of their pregame routines to attend his introductory news conference. Key stat The Giants came in with a .667 winning percentage (16-8) all-time vs. Cleveland, their best against any opponent. Up next Cleveland LHP Logan Allen (4-4, 4.28 ERA) faces Giants RHP Justin Verlander (0-3, 4.33), who returns from the injured list to make his 11th start this season. ___ AP MLB: recommended
