WASHINGTON -- Moments after Bryce Harper was ejected from the dugout, pinch hitter Clint Robinson hit a game-ending homer to give the Washington Nationals a 5-4 comeback victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

As he joined his teammates in racing to the plate to greet Robinson for a celebration, Harper yelled something in the direction of umpire Brian Knight.

Knight pointed toward the dugout and signalled Harper's ejection after the batter before Robinson, Danny Espinosa, was called out on strikes.

Then Robinson connected with a 1-0 pitch from Mark Lowe (1-2).

YANKEES 6, ROYALS 3

NEW YORK -- Carlos Beltran hit two of New York's five solo homers in the first three innings off an ineffective Chris Young, and Aroldis Chapman allowed a run in his Yankees debut before closing out a victory over the slumping Royals.

Brian McCann, Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks also went deep to help the Yankees win the opener of a four-game series against the defending World Series champions.

Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer homered for the Royals, who have lost 10 of 13.

Ivan Nova gave the Yankees a good effort in his first start of the season, pitching in place of injured lefty CC Sabathia. Nova was pulled after 81 pitches -- one out short of qualifying for a win -- but New York's fortified bullpen held Kansas City at bay.

RED SOX 14, ATHLETICS 7

BOSTON -- Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his career-high hitting streak to 15 games with a two-run single in Boston's six-run fourth and added a grand slam two innings later, carrying the Red Sox over the struggling Athletics.

Brock Holt hit a two-run homer, and David Ortiz had three hits and two RBIs for Boston, which has won seven of its last 10 games.

Khris Davis hit his seventh homer and drove in two runs for Oakland, which has lost 12 of 16 and fell to 1-7 this month.

Josh Reddick's club-record streak of hits in eight consecutive at-bats was stopped when he grounded out his first time up.

MARLINS 4, BREWERS 1

MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez pitched well enough to overcome a teammate's home run that was negated due to a baserunning blunder, and the Marlins beat the Brewers.

Fernandez (4-2) allowed four hits and pitched around four walks in seven shutout innings, his longest start this season. He improved to 20-1 at Marlins Park.

With the game scoreless in the second inning, a home run by J.T. Realmuto was negated when he passed teammate Marcell Ozuna after rounding first base, costing Miami a run.

Realmuto's hit struck the home run sculpture in centre field. Ozuna, who was on first base, misjudged the fly and retreated to first, and Realmuto trotted past him.

REDS 3, PIRATES 2

CINCINNATI  -- Tucker Barnhart hit the last of Cincinnati's three solo homers off Jonathon Niese, and Reds relievers threw three scoreless innings -- a rarity for the major leagues' worst bullpen -- to close out a victory over the Pirates.

Zack Cozart, Joey Votto and Barnhart connected off Jonathon Niese (3-2), with all three homers barely reaching the stands in left field. Barnhart's tiebreaking homer in the seventh was upheld on review.

Barnhart's first homer since last May 27 ended the seventh-longest active streak without a homer in the major leagues -- 270 at-bats. It was the first time this season that Niese allowed three homers in a game.

ASTROS 7, INDIANS 1

HOUSTON -- Jose Altuve had three RBIs and Colby Rasmus added two as the Astros jumped on Corey Kluber for five runs in the third and cruised to a win over the Indians.

Altuve drove in two with a double in the third and Rasmus had a two-run single later in the inning to make it 4-0.

Kluber (2-4), coming off the second shutout of his career in his last outing against the Tigers, was chased after just 2 2/3 innings. He entered with a 1.48 ERA in five career appearances against the Astros, and had allowed just five earned runs in 30 1/3 innings against them.

On Monday he gave up five hits and five runs in his first loss since April 17.

Houston starter Mike Fiers (3-1) allowed season lows of one run and three hits in seven innings for his third straight win.

WHITE SOX 8, RANGERS 4, 12 innings

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Todd Frazier hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the 12th inning for his second homer of the game, powering the White Sox over the Rangers.

Frazier had four hits and a career-high six RBIs to help the White Sox win after the bullpen blew leads in the eighth and ninth innings despite a majors-leading 1.82 ERA coming in.

Last year's All-Star home run derby winner in front of the home crowd in Cincinnati, Frazier has 10 homers with Chicago after an off-season trade. His go-ahead blast to left came off left-hander Cesar Ramos (0-2).

Dan Jennings (1-0) pitched a scoreless 10th and 11th as the White Sox won their fourth straight in a series opener between teams coming off three-game sweeps.

DIAMONDBACKS 10, ROCKIES 5

DENVER -- Jake Lamb homered, tripled and drove in four runs, Jean Segura also went deep and the Diamondbacks beat the Rockies.

Archie Bradley (1-0) shook off a rough start to pitch six innings and get the win the same day he was recalled from Triple-A Reno.

The win was the Diamondbacks' fourth straight and ended a four-game skid to Colorado. The Rockies took two out of three in Arizona to start the season and then swept the Diamondbacks at Chase Field at the end of April.

All it took was a change of venue and some power to turn things around against Colorado and Tyler Chatwood (4-3), who gave up six runs and seven hits in seven innings.

MARIENRS 5, RAYS 2

SEATTLE -- Ketel Marte hit a tiebreaking three-run homer off Steve Geltz and had a career-high four hits to lead the Mariners to a victory over the Rays.

Felix Hernandez (3-2) allowed just two runs on four hits over seven innings to pick up the win. Steve Cishek earned his 10th save of the season.

Dana Eveland (0-1) was saddled with the loss.

Marte went 4 for 5 with two doubles, three RBIs and three runs scored. With the game tied at 2 in the sixth inning, Marte hammered the first offering from reliever Geltz over the right field wall to give the Mariners a 5-2 cushion.

METS 4, DODGERS 2

LOS ANGELES -- Steven Matz won his fifth straight start, Curtis Granderson homered on the first pitch of the game, and Kevin Plawecki also went deep to lead the Mets over the Dodgers in their first meeting since last year's NL Division Series.

Matz (5-1) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings and struck out five in the opener of a four-game series. Matz served up a two-run homer to Trayce Thompson in the fourth after he was staked to a 3-0 lead, but the left-hander helped himself out in the sixth with an RBI double.

Jim Henderson struck out Yasiel Puig and got Thompson on a foul pop with the tying runs on base in the eighth. Jeurys Familia got three outs for his 11th save in 11 chances.

Kazmir (2-3) gave up four runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.

BLUE JAYS 3, GIANTS 1

SAN FRANCISCO -- Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer, Aaron Sanchez struck out five over seven innings, and the Blue Jays beat the Giants in their first visit to AT&T Park in nearly three years.

Encarnacion connected in the third off Jake Peavy (1-4), who has given up five homers in his last two outings and lost his third straight start.

Toronto had gone back-to-back games without a home run for the third time this season, but Encarnacion's deep third-inning drive into the left-field bleachers kept the Blue Jays from doing so in three straight for the first time since Sept. 26-28, 2014.

Sanchez (3-1) allowed one run and three hits and walked one in a strong 105-pitch performance.
