UNDATED (AP) — Pittsburgh’s Tyler Anderson made a bid for the third no-hitter of the major league season, but it was the San Diego Padres who came away with a shutout win.

Wil Myers singled with no outs in the seventh to end Tyler Anderson’s no-hit bid and ignite a two-run inning that pushed the Padres past the Pirates, 2-0. After Myers’ hit, Tommy Pham hit a sacrifice fly and Austin Nola poked an RBI single with two out to chase Anderson and send Pittsburgh to its fifth loss in a row.

Also on the major league schedule:

— Vince Velasquez allowed one run and four hits, striking out six in his longest outing this season to lead the Phillies past the Brewers, 4-3. J.T. Realmuto slammed a two-run homer in the first inning to put the Phils ahead, 2-1.

— Nolan Arenado and Harrison Bader homered to support Adam Wainwright in the Cardinals’ 6-5 victory against the Mets. Wainright fell behind 5-2 but lasted 5 2/3 innings in his first start since coming off the COVID-19 list.

— Willy Adames and Manuel Margot homered and Mike Brosseau had a two-run single as the Rays knocked off the Angels, 7-3 to begin a seven-game road trip. Tyler Glasnow pitched six innings of four-hit ball with three walks for the defending AL champion Rays.

— The Athletics knocked off the Blue Jays, 5-4 as Ramon Laureano homered for the third consecutive day. Stephen Piscotty also went deep and Jed Lowrie went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles as Oakland spoiled Marcus Semien’s return to the Bay Area.

— Cedric Mullins and Freddy Galvis each hit two-run homers while the Orioles put together a five-run eighth to beat the Mariners, 5-3. Dean Kremer had arguably the best start of his young career, throwing six innings for Baltimore and allowing just two hits and one run in a no-decision.

— Kenta Maeda had a season-high eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings, allowing only two singles and two walks in the Twins’ 6-5 win over the Rangers. Jorge Polanco had an RBI triple and run-scoring double, while rookie Alex Kirilloff kept up his torrid start with two doubles for Minnesota.

— Eddie Rosario swatted a tiebreaking, three-run homer that sent the Indians to an 8-6 win over the Royals. Josh Naylor added a two-run shot two batters later and Emmanuel Clase worked around a single in the ninth for his sixth save.

— The Dodgers and Cubs were postponed in Chicago due to bad weather, as was the Giants-Rockies game in Colorado. Both games are rescheduled as part of Tuesday twinbills.
