"Padres Sweep Three Games with Shutouts, Setting MLB Record"

Michael King allowed just two hits and one walk in his first career complete game Sunday as the San Diego Padres blanked the visiting Colorado Rockies 6-0, becoming the first team in eight years to sweep a three-game series with shutouts.

King retired the first 13 men he faced before Michael Toglia singled with one out in the fifth, then issued a two-out walk to Hunter Goodman in the eighth. Ezequiel Tovar singled in the ninth, but that was it for Colorado's offense as it became the first team since the 2017 Kansas City Royals (versus Cleveland) to be shut out in every game of a three-game series.

King (3-0) fanned eight and Jose Iglesias went 2-for-2 with two RBIs as San Diego won its fourth straight and improved to 10-0 at home. Its 13-3 record ties the 1998 team, which won the National League pennant, for the best start in franchise history. It was also the first time in franchise history the Padres had swept a three-game series without yielding a run.

Kyle Freeland (0-3) lasted five innings for the Rockies, allowing eight hits and five runs with two walks and two strikeouts. He ran into two-out trouble in the first, when the Padres collected four runs to decide the issue early.

Red Sox 3, White Sox 1

Garrett Crochet allowed one run on one hit in 7 1/3 innings and Trevor Story homered and drove in three runs to help Boston defeat host Chicago White.

Crochet (2-1) didn't surrender a hit until Chase Meidroth -- one of four players the White Sox acquired when they traded Crochet to the Red Sox in December -- poked a single just past shortstop Story with one out in the eighth inning. Crochet, who struck out 11 and walked one, retired the first 15 batters he faced. Brooks Baldwin became Chicago's first baserunner when he led off the sixth with a walk.

Story had three hits in the game, including a two-run double off White Sox starter Shane Smith in the sixth inning and a solo home run against Bryse Wilson in the ninth. Smith (0-1) limited Boston to two runs on five hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked two.

Giants 5, Yankees 4

Jung Hoo Lee hit two homers and drove in four runs as visiting San Francisco came back to earn the win over New York on Sunday afternoon and claim the franchise's first series win at Yankee Stadium.

Lee capped his first career multi-homer game with a three-run shot off Yankees starter Carlos Rodon in the sixth to give the Giants a 4-3 lead. Giants starter Logan Webb (2-0) settled down after a rocky start to allow three runs on five hits in five innings. Ryan Walker threw a perfect ninth for the save.

Rodon (1-3) allowed four runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander struck out eight and walked three. Jazz Chisholm Jr. snapped an 0-for-24 streak by homering in the eighth to pull the Yankees within 5-4.

Reds 4, Pirates 0

Hunter Greene threw seven shutout innings and retired the final 17 batters he faced, while Santiago Espinal went 2-for-4 and broke a scoreless tie to lead Cincinnati to a win and a three-game sweep of visiting Pittsburgh
