Orioles 4, White Sox 1
Kyle Bradish pitched seven no-hit innings and Adley Rutschman and Colton Cowser homered as visiting Baltimore defeated Chicago to secure a four-game sweep.
Bradish (1-0) spread out four walks while matching a career high with 11 strikeouts. He threw 63 of his 103 pitches for strikes, pacing the Orioles on a combined one-hitter.

Guardians 5, Angels 4
Ben Lively threw seven strong innings and got just enough support from the bullpen to lead Cleveland to a victory over Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif., completing a three-game sweep and extending the Guardians' winning streak to nine games.
Lively (4-2), who has won each of his past three starts, gave up two runs on four hits and two walks, striking out five. The Guardians finished with just six hits, getting two apiece from Andres Gimenez and Johnathan Rodriguez.
The Angels made things interesting with two runs in the eighth inning to get within 5-4, but Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth for his 17th save. Matt Thaiss clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth for Los Angeles.
Reds 4, Dodgers 1
Jonathan India and Nick Martini drove in two runs apiece as Cincinnati completed a weekend sweep and handed visiting Los Angeles a season-high fifth straight loss.
Nick Martinez (2-3) followed Reds opener Brent Suter and allowed one hit over 4 1/3 innings for the win. Alexis Diaz relieved Carson Spiers with one out in the ninth and struck out Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages for his 10th save.
The Dodgers avoided the shutout with a run in the ninth inning. Shohei Ohtani reached on an infield single and moved to second on defensive indifference before scoring on Freddie Freeman's one-out double against Spiers.
