CLEVELAND — Stephen Strasburg pitched seven scoreless innings for his 14th win, Trea Turner had three RBIs and Daniel Murphy homered as the Washington Nationals beat the Cleveland Indians 4-1 on Wednesday.

Strasburg (14-1) bounced back from his only loss of the season to hold the American League Central-leading Indians to three hits. The right-hander also had seven strikeouts and two walks in the victory.

Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco (7-4) surrendered three runs on as many hits in six innings to take the loss.

Marlins 11, Phillies 1

MIAMI — Giancarlo Stanton drilled a two-run homer and Don Kelly hit two triples to lead Miami over Philadelphia.

The Marlins took two out of three games from the Phillies and retained their position as the second and final wild-card team in the National League playoff race.

Stanton’s homer, his 22nd of the season, was part of a three-run first inning for Miami. The blast to left field gave Stanton 525 career RBIs, moving him past former Marlins star Miguel Cabrera for third place on the franchise list.

Padres 8, Blue Jays 4

TORONTO — Adam Rosales, Brett Wallace and Alex Dickerson hit home runs as San Diego defeated Toronto to avoid a sweep in the three-game series.

The Padres have homered in 25 consecutive games, a club record, and Dickerson extended his personal homer streak to four games when he hit his sixth of the season in the eighth inning against left-hander Franklin Morales. The 2002 Texas Rangers set the major league record with homers in 27 straight games.

Luis Perdomo (5-4) allowed five hits, two walks and four runs in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four.
