Braves Beat the Cold and Then the Rockies in Denver The coldest day ever at Coors Field was short-sleeve weather for Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Minor. Starting a day-night doubleheader that opened with the temperature at 23 degrees, Justin Upton hit his major-league-leading 10th home run and Dan Uggla and the rookie Evan Gattis also connected in support of Minor's solid outing as the Braves beat the Colorado Rockies, 4-3, on Tuesday. Reed Johnson, playing right field for Atlanta because Jason Heyward had an appendectomy Monday night, went 4 for 4 with three doubles. Heyward was put on the 15-day disabled list. The matchup featured baseball's hottest teams - Colorado and Atlanta each began the day at 13-5, tied for the best record in the major leagues - in the coldest game-time temperature in the majors since it began collecting data in 1991, according to STATS. The Rockies said the previous low at Coors Field was 28. "I think that one is going to be short-lived," Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez said between games. I think the next one is going to break the record. Donning a short-sleeve jersey with his standard T-shirt underneath while other players bundled up, Minor (3-1) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. He said he decided against warmer clothing because he wanted the freedom of movement he feels with his arms uncovered. At one point, Minor admitted that he got so cold that he had a trainer rub his back, arms and thighs with a heating ointment. "I was burning up there," he said. By the time Craig Kimbrel pitched a one-hit ninth for his eighth save in eight chances, the temperature had risen to 27. CARDINALS 2, NATIONALS 0 Adam Wainwright extended his sterling start to the season - and Washington's mediocre one - by coming within two outs of his second shutout for St. Louis. Wainwright (4-1) lowered his earned run average to 1.93 by going eight and a third scoreless innings, allowing only five hits. The host Nationals, who led the majors with 98 wins last season and were a popular pick to do well in 2013, lost for the eighth time in 11 games to fall to 10-10. How in command has Wainwright been? His walk to Bryce Harper with two outs in the sixth was the first he had allowed this season. It came in his fifth start, after 342/3 innings, and loaded the bases for Washington. Wainwright responded by striking out Adam LaRoche swinging with a high fastball. PIRATES 2, PHILLIES 0 Jeff Locke allowed two hits in six innings and Gaby Sanchez homered off Cole Hamels for Pittsburgh at Philadelphia. After wriggling out of a jam in the fourth, Locke (2-1) retired his last eight batters - striking out three of the final four. CUBS 4, REDS 2 Carlos Marmol blew a lead in the ninth inning before Darwin Barney hit his first homer in the 10th inning, lifting the Cubs at Cincinnati. Chicago ended its four-game losing streak despite blowing a late lead for the second day in a row. TWINS 4, MARLINS 3 The prized prospect Oswaldo Arcia hit his first career home run and Kevin Correia gave up two runs in seven innings, leading Minnesota over Miami in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Arcia was 1 for 9 in his first three games in the majors, but his three-run homer deep to right in the fourth helped the Twins shrug off another chilly day at Target Field. "There was a big smile on his face and he was giving some hard high-fives," Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire said of Arcia, who dominated Class AAA pitching early this season before being called up to help a short-handed Twins outfield. ATHLETICS 13, RED SOX 0 Bartolo Colon (3-0) allowed three hits and visiting Oakland took advantage of eight walks, two balks and two errors to beat Boston in a game shortened to seven innings because of rain. Alfredo Aceves (1-1) retired the first four batters then struggled before being relieved by Steven Wright with the score 8-0 with one out in the fourth. It was by far the worst performance by a Boston starter this season. In the other 19 games, Red Sox starters allowed three or fewer runs 18 times. ORIOLES 4, BLUE JAYS 3 Manny Machado had two hits and two runs batted in, and host Baltimore used a four-run second inning to beat R. A. Dickey and Toronto. By taking the first two games of the three-game set, Baltimore improved to 5-2 in seven series this season - including 4-1 against the American League East. Dickey (2-3) gave up four runs, six hits and five walks in six innings. YANKEES 4, RAYS 2 Ichiro Suzuki hit a go-ahead two-run single in the ninth inning as the Yankees rallied late to beat David Price and Tampa Bay. The Rays are winless in all five starts this year by Price (0-2), who allowed three runs in eight-plus innings.
