Nick Kingham accomplished something Sunday that only one major league pitcher had achieved in the past century.

In his big league debut, Kingham carried a perfect game into the seventh inning to lead the Pirates to a 5-0 win over the Cardinals.

He joined Johnny Cueto in 2008 as the only pitchers in the past 100 years with one hit allowed, at least nine strikeouts and no walks in their debuts.

Nick Ahmed scored the winning run on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th inning, sending Arizona to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

The Diamondbacks also got two solo homers from David Peralta in their second straight victory in Washington, making them the first National League team since the 1907 Cubs to win their first nine series in a season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had no problem knocking around every pitcher the San Francisco Giants threw at them, except one -- Pablo Sandoval.

San Francisco's backup infielder turned into an emergency reliever in the ninth and pitched a perfect inning as the Dodgers romped 15-6 Saturday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

Giants first baseman Brandon Belt set a Major League Baseball record Sunday when he battled out a 21-pitch at-bat against Angels rookie right-hander Jaime Barria.

Belt fouled off 16 two-strike pitches before lining out to Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun. The at-bat lasted 12 minutes and 45 seconds. It is the most pitches in at at-bat since records began in 1988.

The A's Sean Manaea pitched the first no-hitter against Boston in almost exactly 25 years, with an overturned call on the bases preserving the gem Saturday night in Oakland's 3-0 win over the Red Sox.

The Rangers' Bartolo Colon, who turns 45 next month, flirted with history Sunday night, taking a perfect game into the eighth inning against the World Series champion Houston Astros.

A leadoff walk to Carlos Correa and a Josh Reddick double ended the bid by Colon, who would have become the oldest pitcher to throw a no-hitter.

After a solid first start on the mound and an impressive first week at the plate, Shohei Otani dominated the A's in a first start in Anaheim.

But when Ohtani finally yielded a hit and then struck out Matt Olson with two runners on to end the seventh inning, he gave a fist pump and a celebratory scream at the ground while the crowd rose for a standing ovation.

Ohtani threw seven shutout innings of one-hit ball in his home debut on the mound, propelling the Angels to a 6-1 win Sunday.

The Cardinals' Yadier Molina had to be restrained Sunday Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo gestured at the catcher while he was arguing a called third strike against outfielder A.J. Pollock.

Molina was restrained initially by plate umpire Tim Timmons and then by manager Mike Matheny after both benches cleared during the incident, which occurred in the top of the second inning.

Lovullo was ejected for leaving the dugout to argue balls and strikes.

Injuries and illnesses piled up for the Yankees during Friday night's 7-3 loss to the Orioles as four players were forced to leave early. Left-hander CC Sabathia was among them, exiting with right hip soreness.

An MRI came back clean, the veteran starter said.

"It was sore, and I've never felt that spot before -- in ever, throwing a baseball -- so it was a little nerve-wracking," Sabathia said.

That appears to be the trend for the banged-up Yankees, who also lost catcher Gary Sanchez and infielders Brandon Drury and Tyler Wade during the game.

The Angels held off the Athletics 7-4 on Sunday, with Shohei Ohtani earning the win.

It wasn’t a perfect outing. In the second inning, he hung a slider that Matt Chapman crushed for a three-run home run. His fastball command was shaky at times, and his slider was inconsistent, although it became sharper as the game went on. Most impressive was how he settled down after Chapman’s home run, not rattled by one mistake. After a long rest in the top of the sixth, he finished off his outing in quick order, retiring the A’s on eight pitches.
