Daniel Murphy of the New York Mets fails to make the tag on the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo.

Anthony Rizzo celebrated his Chicago Cubs debut by knocking in the go-ahead run in a 5-3 win over the New York Mets.

Yu Darvish struck out 10 on his way to his 10th win of the season as the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 7-5.

Prince Fielder also went yard and drove in four in a losing cause for the Tigers.

Bronson Arroyo took a no-hitter into the eighth before ending up with a no-decision, but the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 anyway.

Jay Bruce's two-run shot in the sixth helped the Reds establish a 3-0 lead until Arroyo allowed three to score in the eighth, but Drew Stubbs homered to re-establish the lead and Cincinnati held on.

Phil Hughes hurled eight scoreless innings and Alex Rodriguez went yard as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 6-4.

The Washington Nationals amassed 21 hits as they beat the Colorado Rockies 12-5, giving Gio Gonzalez his 10th win of the season.

Yadier Molina's three-run shot highlighted a five-run first for the St Louis Cardinals, who beat the Miami Marlins 5-2.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered to tie the game and Dustin Pedroia drove in two with the bases loaded as the Boston Red Sox rallied with a three-run seventh on their way to a 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Ryan Vogelsong tossed seven shutout frames to help the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1.
