CHICAGO — Marcus Stroman pitched a one-hitter, and the Chicago Cubs beat the major league-leading Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Monday.

Stroman (5-4) dazzled in his fourth complete game and second shutout in nine major league seasons. His only other one shutout was against the Cubs during his 2014 rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays.

He set a season high with 105 pitches and matched his high with eight strikeouts. The right-hander walked one in winning his third straight start and helping the Cubs bounce back from a weekend sweep by Cincinnati.

The only hit Stroman allowed was when Wander Franco delivered a clean single to left leading off the seventh. Stroman walked Brandon Lowe and got out of that jam by getting Randy Arozarena to fly out and Josh Lowe to ground into a double play.

The only other Rays runner to reach base was when Luke Raley was hit by a pitch leading off the third. Chicago pitched its sixth shutout of the season.

Stroman raised both arms and got a big ovation when he retired Franco on a grounder to first to end the game, just the third shutout against the Rays this year.

The Cubs got their run in the fourth when Seiya Suzuki led off with a single, took second on a wild throw by third baseman Taylor Walls and scored on Mike Tauchman’s sacrifice fly.

ROYALS 7, CARDINALS 0: Josh Staumont and Mike Mayers came within six outs of the first combined perfect game in major league history before Nolan Arenado lined a leadoff single in the eighth inning of Kansas City’s win at St. Louis.

Staumont, a 29-year-old right-hander, served as the opener in a planned bullpen game for the Royals. He made his first major league start in his 167th appearance and struck out two in a 1-2-3 inning, throwing 14 pitches.

Mayers, a 31-year-old left-hander who pitched for the Cardinals from 2016-19, made his third appearance for the Royals this season after eight starts at Triple-A Omaha. He retired 18 consecutive batters before Arenado lined a 1-0 slider to left on his 72nd pitch. Willson Contreras followed with a single to center that stopped an 0 for 27 slide.

There have been 23 perfect games, the last by Seattle’s Félix Hernández against Tampa Bay on Aug. 15, 2012. All perfect games have been complete games.

ATHLETICS 7, BRAVES 2: Ryan Noda hit a three-run homer that spoiled Michael Soroka’s long-awaited return to the majors from two separate tears of his right Achilles tendon, and Oakland beat visiting Atlanta to snap an 11-game losing streak with just their 11th win of the season.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

RANGERS 5, TIGERS 0: Nathan Eovaldi won his sixth straight decision, Corey Seager hit a three-run homer with four RBI and visiting Texas beat Detroit.

Eovaldi (7-2) allowed four hits and a season-high three walks in five innings with four strikeouts. He is 6-0 with a 1.38 ERA in his last eight starts.

Brock Burke, Jonathan Hernández and José Leclerc finished a five-hitter.

Matthew Boyd (3-4) gave up five runs on five hits and four walks in six-plus innings.

Seager drove a curveball into the right-field seats in the fifth for his fifth homer this season, following walks by Robbie Grossman and Marcus Semien.

Semien hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh and Seager followed with an RBI single.

TWINS 7, ASTROS 5: Rookie Royce Lewis homered with four RBI in his season debut and Ryan Jeffers hit a two-run shot in the 10th inning to give Minnesota a win at Houston.

Lewis returned exactly a year from the day he tore the ACL in his right knee for a second time when he crashed into an outfield wall while making a catch in his first appearance in center field. The first overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft had reconstructive surgery a few days later, ending his first major league season after just 12 games.

GUARDIANS 5, ORIOLES 0: Logan Allen allowed three hits in seven outstanding innings, and Cleveland broke through for four runs in the seventh to win at Baltimore.

Will Brennan had three hits for the Guardians, who have won 3 of 4.

Allen (2-2) struck out a career-high 10 in his seventh big league start. The rookie left-hander also set career marks for innings pitched and fewest hits allowed — and this was his first scoreless outing.

Allen is the second pitcher in franchise history to have eight-plus strikeouts in at least three of his first seven career games. Herb Score did it in five of his first seven.

ANGELS 6, WHITE SOX 4: Brandon Drury and Matt Thaiss homered during a fast start for visiting Los Angeles, which spoiled Liam Hendriks’ return for the White So.

Drury hit a three-run shot and Thaiss followed with another drive during a four-run first inning against Michael Kopech. Griffin Canning (4-2) struck out nine in six innings, and Mike Trout finished with two hits.

Hendriks pitched the eighth in his first big league appearance since he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The crowd of 23,599 roared when he walked out to the bullpen after the fourth, and then saluted the All-Star closer with a standing ovation when he entered the game.

Hendriks stood behind the mound and soaked in the scene as the crowd cheered. The Angels also applauded, and Thaiss waited before stepping into the batter’s box — giving Hendriks more time to appreciate the moment.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

DIAMONDBACKS 7, ROCKIES 5: Pavin Smith hit a go-ahead, three-run homer, Drey Jameson threw 3 2/3 innings of impressive relief in his return to the big leagues and  Arizona rallied to win at home.

The Diamondbacks stormed back from an early 4-0 deficit with a five-run second inning, punctuated by Smith’s three-run homer to right-center that made it 5-4. Jake McCarthy had a two-run single earlier in the rally.

GIANTS 14, PIRATES 4: Rookie Patrick Bailey had four RBI on his 24th birthday, boosting San Francisco to a win at home.

Bailey, a catcher who debuted on May 19, was playing his ninth major league game. After hitting a go-ahead, two-run double against 43-year-old Rich Hill (4-5) in a five-run second inning, he added a two-run homer in an eight-run seventh for the Giants’ fifth consecutive hit against Cody Bolton.

NOTES

RAYS: The major league-best Tampa Bay Rays placed closer Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list because of inflammation in his left hip.

Manager Kevin Cash said Fairbanks texted that he was feeling better than he did when he left the ballpark on Sunday, though he was still sore. He is scheduled for more tests on Tuesday.

BREWERS: Luke Voit was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers, who owe the former home run champion a little more than $1.3 million for the remainder his of contract.

The 32-year-old first baseman hit .221 with a .284 on-base percentage, .265 slugging percentage, zero homers and four RBI in 22 games. He had just three extra-base hits, all doubles, in 74 plate appearances.

Voit hadn’t played for the Brewers since May 13. He went on the injured list two days later with a neck issue and had been hitting .259 with a .444 on-base percentage, one homer and eight RBI in eight games during a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Nashville.

YANKEES: First baseman Anthony Rizzo was held out of the lineup due to a stiff neck for their series opener against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.

Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said Rizzo “should be fine,” but the team was being cautious. Rizzo left Sunday’s win over San Diego after he collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on a pickoff play that ended the sixth inning.

As the first baseman leaned back to apply the tag, Rizzo collided with Tatis. Rizzo stayed on the ground for a few minutes and headed back to the clubhouse as the Yankees batted.

Boone said Rizzo was undergoing treatment and did not need any additional testing.

Catcher Jose Trevino (hamstring) was set to undergo a full workout before Monday’s game and there is a chance he could be activated during the series in Seattle, Boone said.

Third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is set to continue his rehab assignment on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset, which plays against the Portland Sea Dogs. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could “possibly” join Donaldson, Boone said.

Carlos Rodón (forearm strain) also threw a bullpen session in Seattle on Monday. Boone said Rodón will probably throw a couple more on the trip with the hope of starting a rehab assignment after the team returns to New York for a homestand that starts June 6.

PADRES: The scuffling San Diego Padres claimed catcher Gary Sánchez off waivers from the New York Mets.

The two-time All-Star was designated for assignment last Thursday after playing in three games for the Mets. He went 1 for 6 with three strikeouts and an RBI, looking shaky at times behind the plate.

With the disappointing Padres (24-29) getting meager offensive production at catcher, they hope Sánchez can provide a boost. Austin Nola is batting .131 with three extra-base hits and a paltry .434 OPS in 39 games. His part-time platoon partner, second-stringer Brett Sullivan, is hitting .170 with four extra-base hits and a .482 OPS in 21 games since getting called up from the minors April 16.

Luis Campusano has been on the injured list since April 17 and is expected to be sidelined until around the All-Star break following left thumb surgery.
