New York — With a team full of 20-somethings, the New York Yankees played like seasoned veterans.

Luis Severino pitched three-hit ball over seven innings and the youthful Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Sunday even as prized prospect Gleyber Torres went 0-for-4 in his major league debut.

The 21-year-old Torres, who stranded six runners, played second base and batted eighth in a Yankees lineup that didn’t include a player 30 or older for the first time since Sept. 29, 1989, according to Stats.

“We’ve worked really hard, long before I got here, at building this organization from the ground up and they’ve done a great job,” first-year manager Aaron Boone said. “I feel like we’re in a position not only to be a really good team in the short-term, but in the long-term.”

Didi Gregorius homered, No. 9 batter Austin Romine laced a two-run double and streaking rookie Miguel Andujar had a career-high four hits, including an RBI double, to help New York take three of four in the series from its AL East rival.

The 10 players who started for the Yankees, including Severino, averaged 26 years old — the youngest group they’ve fielded since Sept. 26, 1970.

Teoscar Hernandez homered in the sixth off Severino (4-1), who struck out six and walked two. The right-hander won for only the second time in nine outings against Toronto.

David Robertson and Aroldis Chapman each worked a scoreless inning to finish the four-hitter.

Giants 4, Angels 2

Anaheim, Calif. — Brandon Belt hung in for a 21-pitch, 12-minute, 45-second at-bat before flying out and later homered.

Belt fouled off 11 straight pitches and 16 in all from rookie right-hander Jaime Barria (1-1) in the first inning in the majors’ longest at-bat since records began in 1988. Belt singled and scored in the third and launched a leadoff homer against Blake Parker in the fifth. Belt saw 38 pitches in his first three at-bats, then hit the first pitch his last two times up.

Cubs 9, Rockies 7

Denver — Nolan Arenado was initially called safe by umpire Cory Blaser when he tried to score on a bases-loaded pitch that bounced to the backstop, then was ruled out when a video review concluded reliever Brandon Morrow applied the tag on a throw from catcher Willson Contreras.

Cubs star Kris Bryant was hit on the head with a 96 mph pitch from German Marquez in the first inning and left the game. Cubs spokesman Peter Chase said Bryant passed tests and had no sign of a concussion.

Diamondbacks 4, Padres 2

Phoenix — Patrick Corbin (4-0) struck out 11 in six innings, and Arizona (15-6) became the first team since San Francisco in 2003 to win its first seven series.

Nick Ahmed hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks. Archie Bradley struck out Jose Pirela with a runner on third for his second save.

Indians 7, Orioles 3

Baltimore — Jose Ramirez homered twice and drove in three runs, and Corey Kluber (3-1) won his third straight start, allowing three runs and six hits in seven-plus innings.

Manny Machado hit two solo homers for Baltimore, his third multihomer game this season. Baltimore (6-16) has lost nine of 10.

Royals 8, Tigers 5

Detroit — Mike Moustakas hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh off Buck Farmer after Drew VerHagen (0-1) walked two batters. The Royals won for only the second time in 12 games, and Moustakas extended his hitting streak to 14.

Abraham Almonte’s sixth-inning grand slam gave the Royals a 5-2 lead, but Detroit tied it with three runs in the bottom half.

Rays 8, Twins 6

St. Petersburg, Fla. — Carlos Gomez, in a 2-for-38 slide, hit a two-run homer off Addison Reed (0-1) in the ninth.

Daniel Robertson had a career-high four hits for Tampa Bay, which has gone 7-5 after a 1-8 start.

Phillies 3, Pirates 2

Philadelphia — Aaron Altherr hit a winning single in the 11th after Andrew Knapp’s opposite-field triple off the left-field wall against Rich Rodriguez (0-1). Philadelphia swept a four-game series against Pittsburgh for the first time since May 12-15, 1994.

Yacksel Rios (3-0) pitched a scoreless inning, stranding two runners. The Phillies have won 13 of 16 since a 1-4 start.

Astros 7, White Sox 1

Chicago — Jose Altuve hit a go-ahead single in a five-run seventh inning, and Houston stretched its winning streak to six.

Lance McCullers Jr. (3-1) allowed one run and eight hits over six innings as the World Series champions completed a three-game sweep in which they outscored the White Sox 27-2.

Brewers 4, Marlins 2

Milwaukee — Christian Yelich hit his first home run since coming off the disabled list. and Milwaukee completed a four-game sweep that extended its winning streak to six and dropped Miami to 5-16.

Junior Guerra (2-0) allowed one unearned run and five hits in five innings, and Josh Hader also gave up an unearned run in getting six outs for his third save.

Cardinals 9, Reds 2

St. Louis — Kolten Wong and Paul DeJong homered to back Mike Mikolas (3-0), who yielded two runs — one earned — and five hits over seven innings. St. Louis has won eight of nine overall and 11 in a row over the Reds.

Cincinnati has lost five in a row and 13 of 14. The Reds have the worst record in the majors at 3-18 and are 0-3 since firing manager Bryan Price and replacing him with Jim Riggleman.

Rangers 7, Mariners 4

Arlington, Texas — Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo homered as Texas opened a 4-0 lead in the fourth against Erasmo Ramirez (0-1), who allowed five runs and five hits over 4⅔ innings in his season debut.

Martin Perez (2-2) gave up seven hits, walked a batter and hit another one in six innings before leaving with a 5-2 lead.

Keone Kela worked a scoreless ninth for his third save. He allowed consecutive hits starting the inning, but the game ended when shortstop Jurickson Profar made a tough catch of a popup in shallow left field.

Dodgers 4, Nationals 3

Los Angeles — Cody Bellinger followed Yasmani Grandal’s two-run double with a tying RBI double in the sixth, and Corey Seager drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning of Los Angeles’ sixth win in seven games, a defeat of Washington.

Alex Wood pitched six innings of six-hit ball for the Dodgers, who were largely dominated by Jeremy Hellickson until they erased a three-run deficit with three big hits from their patchwork lineup.

Los Angeles then went ahead when Austin Barnes was hit by a pitch from Trevor Gott (0-1). Barnes advanced to third on Chris Taylor’s single and scored on Seager’s fly.

Michael Taylor homered, doubled, singled and walked for the Nationals, who have lost seven of 11.

Josh Fields (1-0) survived a rocky seventh inning for the Dodgers (10-10), who got back to .500 after a rough start for the defending NL champions.

Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his first save since April 10 and his third of the season, but not without drama. The Dodgers’ vaunted closer began the ninth by yielding two singles, but then struck out Andrew Stevenson and Trea Turner before ending it on Howie Kendrick’s fly to the warning track.

Hellickson retired 14 straight Dodgers before doubles by Chris Taylor and Grandal, followed by Bellinger’s go-ahead line drive off the center field wall against Sammy Solis.

Michael Taylor put his first homer of the season into the home bullpen beyond left field in the fourth. He then doubled, advanced on Wood’s pickoff throw into center field and scored on Moises Sierra’s mid-length fly in the sixth for a 3-0 lead.

Hellickson settled in splendidly after yielding Seager’s double in the first inning. The Dodgers didn’t even manage to hit the ball out of the infield again until Chris Taylor’s one-out double in the sixth.

After Seager drew a walk, Grandal laced a line drive into the right field corner, extending his hitting streak to a career-best 11 games and chasing Hellickson.
