Junior P-15's blast Camden 14-3 in opener

CAMDEN - Bryce Lyons had three hits and drove in four runs to lead the Sumter Junior P-15's American Legion baseball team to a 14-3 victory over Camden on Tuesday at King Haigler Field in its season opener.

Lyons had a double among his three hits for the Junior P-15's, who had 12 hits. SB Ducom had three hits and Dustin Kennedy had two hits.

Kennedy was the winning pitcher, tossing three innings and allowing no runs. He allowed no runs and three hits, striking out one and walking one.

Austin Trapp, Tanner Epps, Keaton Price and Victory all drove in runs along with Lyons in Sumter's 6-run fourth inning.

RED SOX 6

BLUE JAYS 4

BOSTON - The Boston Red Sox are rolling into Houston for their first matchup against the champion Astros since getting bounced by them last postseason.

J.D. Martinez hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and the Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.

The win finished a 5-1 homestand for the AL East leaders, who own the best record in the major leagues at 39-17.

INDIANS 9

WHITE SOX 1

CLEVELAND - The Chicago White Sox were already in major trouble before Corey Kluber threw one pitch.

Once he had a big lead, surrender was their only option.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched six shutout innings and reached eight victories before any AL pitcher as the Cleveland Indians rolled to their fifth straight win, 9-1 Wednesday over the sagging White Sox to complete a three-game series sweep.

Spotted a nine-run cushion after four innings, Kluber (8-2) had little trouble with baseball's worst team.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

BREWERS 3

CARDINALS 2

MILWAUKEE - It was a memorable return for Alex Reyes. Same for Orlando Arcia, albeit for much different reasons.

Reyes pitched four scoreless innings for St. Louis in his return from Tommy John surgery, but Arcia hit a tiebreaking RBI single in Milwaukee's two-run seventh and the Brewers held off the Cardinals for a 3-2 win on Wednesday.

REDS 7

DIAMONDBACKS 4

PHOENIX - Adam Duvall's grand slam erased an early four-run deficit, and the Cincinnati Reds rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-4 on Wednesday.

Scott Schebler added a tiebreaking two-run drive in the sixth, helping the last-place Reds salvage the finale of the three-game set. Joey Votto and Eugenio Suarez each had three hits.

BRAVES 7

METS 6

ATLANTA - For both the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, this felt so familiar.

Another stunning, walk-off win for the Braves.

Another excruciating day for a Mets team that seems downright cursed.

Johan Camargo homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night to give Atlanta a 7-6 win over the Mets, who squandered a pair of four-run leads and lost two more pitchers to injuries.

Camargo's was the Braves' second walk-off homer in two days against their NL East rival.
