>>Lynn pitches Cardinals to sweep of Marlins
Lance Lynn came off the disabled list to throw six shutout innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins 5-1 on Thursday night to sweep a three-game series.
Lynn (5-4) had six strikeouts and allowed just two hits and four walks in his first start since June 7 after recovering from a right forearm strain.
Pete Kozma had three hits and scored two runs and Kolten Wong drove in two for the Cardinals, who wrapped up a 5-3 road trip.
Adeiny Hechavarria homered off Carlos Villanueva in the ninth inning for Miami's only run.
Dan Haren (6-5) remained winless in his last four starts after allowing four runs on seven hits.
The Marlins dropped a fourth straight game, falling to 1-7 in their last eight.
They scuffled against Lynn, who gave up singles to Hechavarria in the third inning and Giancarlo Stanton in the fourth. Matt Belisle retired the side in order in the seventh and Randy Choate and Seth Maness pitched the eighth.
>>White Sox hold off Tigers in 10 innings
Carlos Sanchez cleared the bases with a triple in the 10th inning to lead the Chicago White Sox to an 8-7 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday to start a four-game series.
Adam LaRoche drove in two runs, and Adam Eaton hit a solo home run for the White Sox, who had lost eight of their last nine road games.
Zach Duke (3-2) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief, and starter Carlos Rodon allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings with seven strikeouts.
Ian Kinsler and J.D. Martinez each homered for Detroit, who is coming off a 3-4 road trip.
Starter Alfredo Simon allowed five runs on six hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings, but the loss went to Joba Chamberlain (0-2) after allowing Sanchez's 10th-inning triple.
Chamberlain was summoned to pitch the 10th after closer Joakim Soria held Chicago off the board in the ninth. He got LaRoche to ground out to start the inning, but a walk to Melky Cabrera and breaking ball that grazed Avisail Garcia's elbow started a rally. Alexei Ramirez struck out, but J.B. Shuck's infield hit set up Sanchez for the go-ahead triple.
>>Frias, Dodgers shut down Cubs
Carlos Frias threw five scoreless innings to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 4-0 win over the Chicago Cubs and split of a four-game series.
Frias (5-5) ended a four-start winless streak with five strikeouts and seven hits and three walks allowed in his five frames. The Dodgers used four relievers to throw an inning apiece to keep Chicago off the board.
Howie Kendrick's two-run double put Los Angeles up in the first, and Jimmy Rollins had a pair of hits and run scored.
Jon Lester (4-4) stumbled through four innings for the Cubs, allowing all four Dodgers runs on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts.
Lester, who is 0-3 over his last six starts, was in immediate trouble. Rollins bunted for a single with one out, and the ace lefty walked consecutive batters to load the bases. Kendrick then delivered with a hard double down the right- field line to score two runs. Lester struck out the next two to get out of the inning, but enough damage was already done.
The Cubs could not get anything out of a two-on, two-out opportunity in their half of the first, and Los Angeles went right back to work in the second. Frias was on first after he could not advance a runner on a sacrifice bunt, and Kike Hernandez tripled over Chris Denorfia's head in center field to score the pitcher. Rollins then picked up his second hit of the day with an RBI single to make it a 4-0 game.
