Yanks overpower Marlins
Gregorius homers twice, Judge once in 12-1 victory

Didi Gregorius homered twice for the second time this season, Gary Sanchez had three hits and three RBIs, and the New York Yankees romped to a 12-1 victory over Derek Jeter's Miami Marlins on Monday night.
About the only Yankees bopper who didn't get in on the fun was Giancarlo Stanton, who went hitless and got booed again by the hometown fans in his first game against his former team.
Aaron Judge became the fastest major leaguer to hit 60 career homers, and Gregorius finished with three RBIs. New York scored in each of the first five innings and built an 11-0 lead for Luis Severino (3-1), who allowed one hit in six scoreless innings and struck out eight.
Judge hit his fourth home run this season and reached 60 in 197 games, five fewer than Mark McGwire.
Jeter did not attend the game, the first between the teams since the former Yankees captain became Marlins CEO last October. Jeter invested in the group headed by Bruce Sherman that bought the club from Jeffrey Loria.
Another former Yankees captain was in Miami's dugout: Don Mattingly. Starting his third season as Marlins manager, Mattingly was welcomed by the Bleacher Creatures, who chanted "Don-nie Base-ball!" during their first-inning Roll Call. He tipped his cap in acknowledgement.
Stanton went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, a bases-loaded foulout, a walk and was hit by a pitch. He has struck out 27 times in 15 games and is hitting .210 with three homers and 10 RBIs.
Rockies 6, Pirates 2: Trevor Story drilled a three-run home run for Colorado. Charlie Blackmon added his team-leading seventh home run of the season. The Rockies have won five of six overall and are 8-2 in their past 10 games away from Coors Field.
Rays 8, Rangers 4: Mallex Smith had four hits and Blake Snell struck out nine to help Tampa Bay stop a four-game losing streak. Smith bunted for a single against starter Martin Perez in a four-run second inning that gave the Rays a 5-0 lead. He doubled and scored in the third in a second four-hit game in eight days.
Braves 2, Phillies 1: Julio Teheran outpitched Aaron Nola and Atlanta snapped Philadelphia's six-game winning streak.
Reds 10, Brewers 4: Billy Hamilton drove in three runs and Cincinnati ended an eight-game losing streak. The Reds won for just the third time in 16 games this season. Cincinnati is tied with Kansas City for the fewest wins in the majors.
Postponed: In addition to Monday's scheduled Patriots' Day game between the Orioles and Red Sox that was postponed until May 17 because of the forecast of rain, the Toronto Blue Jays postponed their series opener against Kansas City because of chunks of ice crashing down from the nearby CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain. The teams plan a doubleheader Tuesday. It's the first cancellation at Rogers Centre since a game against the Royals was called off following a collision between two panels of the stadium's moving roof on April 12, 2001. ... Light snow forced postponement of the Cardinals at Cubs game. It's rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on July 21.
