The Pirates (30-25) had tied it in the eighth on a two-run single by right fielder Gregory Polanco, his third hit of the game, against reliever Jim Johnson. - - - Mariners 2, Rays 1 Felix Hernandez bounced back from his worst outing of the season, and center fielder Austin Jackson provided the big hit with a seventh-inning home run, as the Seattle Mariners snapped their seven-game losing streak. Hernandez (9-2) allowed just two hits and one earned run over seven innings, becoming baseball's first pitcher to nine wins. It was his first start since giving up seven earned runs in a 7-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Monday night.

Castillo, acquired Wednesday from the Seattle Mariners, was making his second appearance for his new team. New York (30-27) starter Bartolo Colon (8-4) was aiming to become the National League's only pitcher to reach nine wins, but he took the loss after allowing two runs over seven innings. - - - Dodgers 2, Cardinals 0 Clayton Kershaw allowed just one hit and struck out 11 in eight shutout innings, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. Yasiel Puig, who missed 38 games with a strained left hamstring before being activated Saturday, broke up a scoreless contest by driving in a run as the Dodgers (32-24) snapped a three-game skid and ended the Cardinals' four-game winning streak. Kershaw had not faced the Cardinals (37-19) since Game 4 of last season's National League Division Series in St. Louis. (Editing by Jahmal Corner)
