Tuesday MLB roundup

Matt Carpenter helped the St. Louis Cardinals beat two-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber in a way no one has before, then he stuck around to make some history of his own.

Carpenter homered twice, matched a career best with five hits and helped chase Kluber in the shortest start of the righthander's career in the host Cardinals' 11-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

Carpenter, who also scored a career-best five runs, is the 19th player ever with five hits, including two home runs, and five runs in a game. He is the first Cardinals player to do it.

"I don't know, that leaves me kind of speechless," said Carpenter, who also drove in three. "It's pretty cool.

Kluber (11-4) gave up six runs in 1⅔ innings and has lost two of his past three decisions. He gave up six hits, including homers to Carpenter and Jose Martinez, and walked one on 48 pitches.

Before Tuesday, Kluber's shortest start had been two innings vs. Tampa Bay in 2013. His previous low this year was a five-inning game on June 15 vs. the Twins, when he took his third loss of the season.

"He's human," manager Terry Francona said. "Don't think guys go 35 starts without having a bump in the road."

New York 6, Philadelphia 0: Luis Severino became the majors' first 12-game winner, Aaron Hicks and Didi Gregorius homered and the Yankees beat the host Phillies. Severino (12-2) struck out nine in seven innings, lowering his ERA to 2.10.

Tampa Bay 1, Washington 0: Nathan Eovaldi took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before an unusual combination of relievers in the ninth completed a three-hitter as the host Rays beat Max Scherzer and the Nationals.

Milwaukee 5, Kansas City 1: Freddy Peralta struck out 10 over seven shutout innings as the host Brewers beat the Royals.

Boston 9, Los Angeles 1: Mookie Betts homered on John Lamb's first pitch of the game, and J.D. Martinez hit his major league-leading 24th home run to back David Price's six strong innings and lead the Red Sox past the Angels at Fenway Park.

Houston 7, Toronto 0: Charlie Morton struck out 13 in seven innings and Jake Marisnick hit a three-run homer in the eighth as the host Astros beat the Blue Jays.

Arizona 5, Miami 3: Former Twins catcher John Ryan Murphy drove in three runs to help the visiting Diamondbacks beat the Marlins. Zack Godley (9-5) pitched five innings and allowed two runs and six hits for the Diamondbacks, who are 14-4 in their last 18 games.
