The Mets lost a replay challenge that took nearly six minutes, but wound up posting their longest winning streak since May 2013. Wilmer Flores hit a three-run homer that helped the Mets rally from an early 3-0 deficit. Duda doubled twice and lined a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, lifting the slugger's batting average to .395. Stanton hit his first home run since a fastball to the face ended his season last September. It was his 155th career homer, moving him past Dan Uggla for most in Marlins' history. Suzuki made a pair of headfirst dives into home plate on the same play, eluding catcher Travis d'Arnaud to make it 5-all in the seventh. Originally called out, the still spry at 41 Suzuki was ruled safe after a replay review that took 5 minutes, 44 seconds. Jerry Blevins (1-0) got the win and Jeurys Familia closed for his fourth save. Mike Dunn (0-1) took the loss. It was 5-all when pinch hitter John Mayberry Jr. walked and stole second with one out in the Mets seventh. Duda's two-out liner fell just beyond the dive of left fielder Christian Yelich, and Michael Cuddyer followed with his second RBI single. Stanton launched a long, two-out drive in the first. He led the NL with 37 home runs despite a season-ending beaning on Sept. 11. Martin Prado homered for a 3-0 in the fourth. CARDINALS 4, BREWERS 0: At St. Louis, John Lackey threw seven scoreless innings and Matt Carpenter doubled twice, helping St. Louis over Milwaukee. Lackey (1-0) gave up five hits, struck out eight and walked one. St. Louis took a 2-0 lead on two doubles and two singles in the sixth inning. NATIONALS 5, PHILLIES 2: At Washington, Doug Fister pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Yunel Escobar and Michael A. Taylor each hit a homer for Washington. Ryan Zimmerman added a two-run double for Washington which, after averaging 2.4 runs through its first seven games, has 22 runs and 28 hits over its last three. Fister (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out four and walking four. Drew Storen pitched the ninth for his third save. Cole Hamels (0-2) gave up five runs and five hits in six innings. He walked four and struck out seven. The left-hander had allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last 15 starts against Washington. American League TWINS 8, ROYALS 5: At Minneapolis, Kennys Vargas and Kurt Suzuki each hit a two-run homer, powering Minnesota for their first series win this season. Tommy Milone (2-0) picked up his second straight victory for the Twins, recovering from a rough start to log 5 1-3 innings. Lorenzo Cain put the Royals in front with his two-run shot in the first inning, but starter Jason Vargas (1-1) was shelled. He gave up 10 hits and a walk, failing to get an out in the fourth and leaving with a 5-3 deficit. RAYS 4, BLUE JAYS 2: At Toronto, Chris Archer struck out 11 in seven shutout innings and pinch-hitter Tim Beckham had two-run homer in the sixth for Tampa Bay. It was the second pinch-hit homer of the season for Beckham, making him the first rookie in Tampa Bay history with two pinch-hit long balls — and the first Rays player since Willy Aybar in 2010 to hit two in a season. Before this season, the only Rays rookies with pinch-hit home runs were Bubba Trammell in 1998 and Jonny Gomes in 2005. Archer (2-1) allowed just two hits and two walks, lowering his ERA to 1.37.
