Chi. Cubs 14, Atlanta 12
It was a positive outcome in Jon Lester's return from the disabled list on Saturyday, but it was an otherwise awkward day for the Chicago Cubs.
San Diego 6, LA Dodgers 5
Yangervis Solarte's ninth-inning home run lifted the San Diego Padres past the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 in the first game of a split doubleheader on Saturday.
Cleveland 5, Detroit 2
Spotting Corey Kluber a four-run lead in the first inning probably isn't the easiest route to victory for an opponent.
Pittsburgh 5, Cincinnati 0

In a game with five homers, four triples and two significant injuries, perhaps the most surprising thing that happened was a conversation in the dugout.

LA Angels 7, Texas 4
The Los Angeles Angels have a thing for drama.
Arizona 6, Colorado 2

San Diego 7, LA Dodgers 2
