Max Scherzer pitched a no-hitter Saturday, losing his perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning when he hit a batter in the Nationals' 6-0 win over the Pirates, according to an ESPN.com report.

Byron Buxton scored the winning run in the top of the ninth to give the Twins a 4-3 win, according to an ESPN.com report.

He went 0-for-4 Sunday in his major-league debut but reached base in the ninth on a fielder's choice before coming around to score from first on Eddie Rosario's double.

A dominant Max Scherzer struck out a Nationals-record 16 and threw a one-hitter, losing his perfect-game bid on Carlos Gomez's broken-bat, bloop single in the seventh inning as Washington beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 Sunday. 

"I was able to execute every pitch for the most part where I wanted to," Scherzer said.

Alex Rodriguez joined the legendary Hank Aaron in an exclusive club, the only two players in baseball history to have driven in more than 2,000 runs, with a two-run home run in the sixth inning of Saturday night's game between the Yankees and Orioles, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Indians spoiled the return of Tigers starter Justin Verlande on Saturday.

Carlos Santana homered and Carlos Carrasco shook off a bad history in Detroit to lift the Indians to a 5-4 win.

Alex Rodriguez moved into second place on the all-time RBI list Friday night, one ahead of Barry Bonds and 300 behind Hank Aaron.

Rodriguez drove in the Yankees' fifth run of the game in an 8-7 win over the Angels at Yankee Stadium with a single to right, driving in Brett Gardner, who had tripled.

It was A-Rod's 1,997th RBI, breaking a tie with Bonds he established May 28 with a sacrifice fly in a loss to the A's in Oakland.

Aaron is baseball's RBI leader with 2,297.

Switch-pitcher Pat Venditte made his major league debut Friday night after he was called up by the A's before their game against the Red Sox.

And that was more meaningful than being the first pitcher in 20 years to throw with both hands in the same game.

"The most special thing is being here," Venditte said. "It's been such a long journey."

Ruben Tejada hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the seventh inning Sunday to help make Bartolo Colon the NL's top winner this season, leading New York over the Miami Marlins 4-3, according to a Yahoo.com report.
