D-backs third baseman Martin Prado was removed from Sunday’s game due to blurred vision in his left eye. He will see an eye doctor Monday morning in Phoenix and then take a noon flight to meet his teammates in St. Louis. The series starts Tuesday night.

Home runs by Cody Ross and Eric Chavez carried the D-backs to a 5-3 win against the Dodgers on Sunday, as Arizona won its first series at Chase Field this season.

Albert Pujols added two home runs, and right-hander Matt Shoemaker pitched six-plus innings of two-hit ball in making a strong case to stay in the Angels’ rotation Sunday in a 6-2 victory over the Rays at Angel Stadium.

Maybe Alex Gordon and the Royals should wear these Kansas City Monarchs uniforms more often. Gordon blasted a pair of three-run homers on Sunday to lead the Royals/Monarchs to an 8-6 victory over the Baltimore Black Sox, aka the Orioles, in the annual Salute to the Negro Leagues at Kauffman Stadium. The teams split the four-game series.

Mariners designated hitter Corey Hart strained his left hamstring and was removed from Sunday’s game against the Twins in the fourth inning after stealing second base.

Stephen Drew, who helped the Red Sox win the World Series last season, continues to be a free agent. Could Boston rekindle its interest in Drew now that Will Middlebrooks is back on the disabled list?

Needing a shutdown performance from their ace, the Mariners got eight innings of two-run ball from Felix Hernandez on Sunday as they topped the Twins, 6-2, to snap a four-game losing streak.

The Nationals on Sunday placed lefty Gio Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list because of left shoulder inflammation and recalled righty reliever Ryan Mattheus. Later Sunday, Gonzalez had an MRI and the results revealed no structural damage and confirmed the inflammation in the shoulder, according to manager Matt Williams.

The Rangers only had three hits in 6 1/3 innings against Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey. But two went for extra bases and drove in four runs as the Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Park.

For 26 outs during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, it seemed the Braves were destined for another disappointing defeat. But thanks to a key pinch-hit and control issues from the Cardinals’ bullpen, Atlanta rallied for a 6-5 win.

Oakland shortstop Jed Lowrie left Sunday’s 13-3 win over Cleveland with a neck strain. Lowrie played only one inning in the field, being replaced by Nick Punto in the middle of the second inning.

D-backs manager Kirk Gibson can’t remember where he was when Randy Johnson tossed his perfect game on May 18, 2004, but he knew where he wanted the members of his current team to be when the Big Unit threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Sunday’s game.

Wilson Ramos’ bat came back to life on Sunday afternoon as he knocked in four runs and helped starter Jordan Zimmermann and the Nationals defeat the Mets, 6-3, in the rubber game of the series at Nationals Park.

The A’s beat up on Justin Masterson, and they never really stopped until the series sweep was complete. The Athletics chased Cleveland’s ace after 4 1/3 innings on the way to a 13-3 win on Sunday at Progressive Field, Oakland’s ninth victory in its last 10 games. Yoenis Cespedes drove in a career-high five runs, and Josh Donaldson scored a career-high four runs.

The Rockies executed the third triple play in their history on Sunday, but this one came with a twist.

New York knew it would be working late, so it started scoring early. The Yankees jumped all over Pittsburgh for three first-inning runs in the first game of their doubleheader Sunday, and Hiroki Kuroda made the early cushion stand up in a narrow 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Giants center fielder Angel Pagan was out of the starting lineup Sunday against Miami, one day after injuring his left shoulder while attempting to make a diving catch. He had an MRI that revealed a sprained shoulder but no major injury.
