The Associated PressSheffield shuts down Rockies for 1st W as Mariners win 5-3
Justus Sheffield pitched six shutout innings for his first major league win, Dylan Moore hit a two-run homer and the Seattle Mariners beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Sunday. Sheffield (1-2), one of three pitchers 24 or younger in the Mariners' starting rotation, gave up four hits without a walk and struck out seven in his longest stint of the season. ''That was my main thing: Get to two strikes as quick as possible and put them away,'' Sheffield said.
The Associated PressBrewers rally to beat Reds 9-3 for 1st home win
Christian Yelich and Milwaukee's slumping hitters finally busted out, enabling the Brewers to earn their first home victory of the year. Yelich homered, tripled and drew a bases-loaded walk as the Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-3 on Sunday to avoid their first 0-5 home start since 1970, the franchise's inaugural season in Milwaukee. ''I think every time we've played here, we've heard the same song every night: 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright,''' said Milwaukee first baseman Justin Smoak, referring to the Bob Marley tune that is actually titled ''Three Little Birds'' and plays at Miller Park after Brewers losses.
