This series was particularly crazy beginning with Kris Bryant’s historic three-homer, two-double game on Monday, followed by a 15-inning affair the next night in which the Cubs used three pitchers in left field.
The wildness continued in the first inning on Wednesday when, with two runners aboard, Rizzo hit a liner to left-center field that caromed off the glove of left fielder Adam Duvall and rolled to the warning track. Rizzo raced around the bases to stake the Cubs to an early 3-0 lead.
Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton, who nearly collided with Duvall on the play, was struck on the left side of his face by the ball and had to leave the game.
Rays 4, Red Sox 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tampa Bay starter Matt Moore took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and pitched seven shutout innings, outdueling former teammate David Price.
Moore (4-5) held Boston to three hits, all in the sixth, and helped the Rays take a three-game series from the Red Sox for the second time this season.
Price (8-5) has just one win in his last seven starts, and he is now 0-3 as a visitor since being dealt from the Rays two years ago.
Tigers 10, Marlins 3
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in three runs and Daniel Norris struck out a career-high eight batters as Detroit cruised past Miami.
Cabrera and Jarrod Saltamacchia, who also homered, had three hits apiece for the Tigers, who finished 6-3 on their nine-game homestand. They play 11 consecutive road games prior to the All-Star break.
Steven Moya added a solo shot, Victor Martinez had two hits and two RBIs and Ian Kinsler contributed two hits and three runs scored. Norris (1-0), making his second start of the season, gave up two runs on eight hits in five innings.
