Clayton Kershaw limited the Rockies to three hits over seven innings, Justin Turner doubled home the tiebreaking run and Scott Schebler homered late in a 4-1 win Monday night that trimmed the Dodgers’ magic number to 12. The NL West leaders have won 16 of their last 20.

The Angels responded to their most devastating loss of the season by showing up early.

Class A West Michigan’s offense exploded for 22 hits Monday in a win 14-5 rout over Lansing to advance to the Midwest League finals.

This is as good as it gets. It wasn’t just great baseball. It was equally great theater. “This is what you train for,” Rangers left-hander Cole Hamels said after defeating the Astros, 5-3, on Monday night at Globe Life Park to close to within a half-game of first place in the American League West.

Slade Heathcott connected for a go-ahead, three-run home run off closer Brad Boxberger, capping a four-run, ninth-inning rally as the Yankees stunned the Rays, 4-1, on Monday night at Tropicana Field.

Prince Fielder hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning, giving the Rangers a 5-3 victory over the Astros in the opener of their four-game series on Monday night. The victory moved the Rangers to within a half-game of the Astros in the American League West, and the two teams are tied in the loss column.

Carlos Carrasco turned in a strong performance, Lonnie Chisenhall drove in three runs and the Indians continued to stay in the American League Wild Card hunt with an 8-3 victory over the Royals on Monday night at Progressive Field.
