The Rays won for the first time this season when trailing after eight innings. The Phillies' Chase Utley (0 for 23) did not play, ending his consecutive-games streak at 101. The nine-run fourth was the Cubs' biggest inning since scoring 10 against St. Louis June 10, 2004. The Rangers are playing in Washington for the first time since the former Senators were moved by owner Bob Short to Texas after the 1971 season. Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre (finger) was scratched. The A's struck out six times, ending a stretch of four consecutive games with 10 or more.
