Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin pitched 5 2/3 innings to win his Major League debut on Monday as the team defeated the Marlins 9-5. The 22-year-old was called up from Double-A Mobile and struck out six, while allowing three runs. Arizona's starters have an ERA of 1.32 over the past four games.

Edwin Encarnacion hit his third home run in three games as the Blue Jays defeated the Mariners 7-2 on Sunday afternoon. Encarnacion had a solo homer in Toronto's 9-5 defeat Friday and hit his fourth career grand slam in Saturday's 7-0 win. The designated hitter is hitting .310 with seven home runs and 20 RBI this season.

The Rockies defeated the Mets 18-9 on Friday night, spoiling Scott Hairston's cycle. Hairston became the 10th player in team history and first in the majors this season to hit for the cycle. "It is bittersweet," Hairston said. "It was great while it was happening. But when they kept scoring runs, it really wasn't that enjoyable, to say the least."

The Royals defeated the Indians 8-2 on Wednesday night, ending their 12-game losing streak in the process. Kansas City is 4-14 on the season after entering 2012 with some higher expectations. "It does us no good," said starter Luke Hochevar, "to sit there and think about, 'If we didn't lose this game,' or, 'If this streak didn't happen.' We have to focus on what's in front of us and focus on the things that we need to do to be successful. I think that's going to be our next step: putting it behind us."

The Rangers defeated the Tigers 3-2 on Sunday on a missed call in the top of the 11th inning. Alberto Gonzalez squared to bunt, hoping to drive in the go-ahead run on a squeeze play. The ball hit his bat and glanced off his right leg before bouncing off the ground and out toward the pitcher. Instead of being called a foul ball, Gonzalez's bunt went for an RBI infield single, driving in the winning run. "As soon as he hit the ball and saw the ball was fair, he didn't stop himself," his translator said. "He was trying to go to first base. He knew the job was done." Detroit manager Jim Leyland came out to argue, but to no avail. "I saw just what it did: The ball came down and hit him on the back knee. Clearly. Clearly. That's not even a question," Leyland said. "The ball clearly hit him, and four guys happened to miss it. That's part of the game."

White Sox right-hander Phil Humber took a perfect game into the ninth inning against the Mariners on Saturday afternoon. The first batter in the ninth, Mike Saunders struck out after getting ahead of Humber 3-0 to begin the inning. John Jaso then flew out to right field for the second out. Brendan Ryan came in as a pinch hitter for Seattle with two outs, he swung on a pitch that was clearly a ball and was thrown out at first base. Humber struck out nine batters in the game. His effort was the 21st perfect game in Major League history.

Curtis Granderson hit three home runs in the first four innings and matched a career high with five hits, leading the Yankees to a 7-6 victory over the Twins on Thursday night. Granderson homered in each of his first three at-bats, driving in four runs, and helped Phil Hughes overcome a four-run first inning to secure his first victory of the season.

Melky Cabrera hit an RBI single in the 11th inning and the Giants beat the Phillies 1-0 on Wednesday, ending a thrilling pitchers' duel that seemed as if it might go on all night. Cliff Lee threw 10 scoreless innings for the Phillies and Matt Cain pitched nine for the Giants.

Jamie Moyer showed there remains a place for a vintage lefty as the 49-year-old became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league game. He threw seven strong innings and Dexter Fowler hit a two-run homer to help the Rockies beat the Padres 5-3 on Tuesday night. "It's a great night for the Rockies, as far as winning a baseball game. But it's an historic night for one tremendous human being," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "It couldn't happen to a better guy. A more professional person I don't know I've been around." Moyer was sharp all evening as he picked up his 268th career win, tying him with Jim Palmer for 34th on the career list.

He needed 131 pitches, but Justin Verlander tossed a complete game against the Royals on Monday to earn his first win of the 2012 season. The right-hander allowed two runs and struck out Alex Gordon with the bases loaded to preserve Detroit's 3-2 win. "I wanted the ball," Verlander said. "I wanted to go back out there and shut those guys down. Obviously, it didn't go the way I would have liked. But when it came down to it, I made the pitch I needed to make."
