NEW YORK — Gerrit Cole pitched a two-hitter with 10 strikeouts for his fourth career shutout and the second complete game in the majors this season, leading the New York Yankees to a 2-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.

DJ LeMahieu homered and hit an RBI single for the Yankees, who earned a split of the four-game series.

Cole (4-0) lowered his ERA to 0.95 in four starts, finishing off the Twins on 109 pitches in only 2 hours, 7 minutes. He got the final nine outs on 25 pitches, and retired former Astros teammate Carlos Correa on a fly ball to end it.

It was Cole’s seventh career complete game, and his first shutout since July 10, 2021, at Houston.

RANGERS 9, ASTROS 1: Marcus Semien hit a grand slam to cap a six-run seventh inning as Texas beat Astros for its first series win at Houston in nearly five years.

The Rangers last won a series in Houston in July 2018 when Texas swept the Astros. Since that series, Texas had lost 10 straight series in Houston.

Nathaniel Lowe doubled to lead off the seventh, tying his career high with an 11-game hitting streak. After an error by shortstop Jeremy Peña allowed Adolis García to reach, Josh Jung singled and Jonah Heim drew a bases-loaded walk to score Lowe.

Robbie Grossman followed with an RBI single to chase Astros starter Framber Valdez (1-2). Héctor Neris retired the next two batters before Semien’s grand slam to left field.

RAYS 8, BLUE JAYS 1: Shane McClanahan pitched six effective innings in his fourth straight win, and Tampa Bay avoided a three-game sweep at Toronto.

Christian Bethancourt hit a three-run homer to help the Rays rebounded from their first two losses of the season. Yandy Díaz reached four times, and Josh Lowe had two hits and three RBI.

McClanahan (4-0) allowed one run and four hits. He struck out six and walked two.

Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah (1-1) matched career-worsts by allowing seven runs and nine hits. He walked four and struck out five in 4 2/3 innings.

ORIOLES 8, WHITE SOX 4: Cedric Mullins had three hits and four RBI, including a tiebreaking single in Baltimore’s three-run eighth inning, and the Orioles won at Chicago.

Jeimer Candelario and Luis García homered for Washington, which snapped a four-game skid and won at home for only the second time in nine tries this season.

In the eighth, plate umpire Ryan Blakney called Stone Garrett out at home after tagging up on Lane Thomas’ one-out fly to center, but replay officials ruled catcher Mike Zunino was blocking the plate and allowed the run to count.

Grissom’s RBI single came after Albies hit a one-out double. Albies went 2 for 4, including his 376-foot homer to right field in the fourth for his fifth RBI of the series. Matt Olson hit a two-run triple in Atlanta’s three-run third inning.

NOTES

YANKEES: Giancarlo Stanton was placed on the injured list because of a left hamstring strain.

Stanton hit a two-run double off the left-field wall in the seventh inning on Saturday, then called for a pinch runner. He’ll have an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

Stanton is batting .269 with four homers and 11 RBI in 13 games this season while splitting time between the outfield and designated hitter.

Infield prospect Oswald Peraza was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Stanton’s spot.

DODGERS: Los Angeles placed catcher Will Smith on the injured list because of a concussion and signed catcher Austin Wynns.
