Royals 3, White Sox 1

CHICAGO — Kansas City’s long postseason drought is over. The Royals clinched a playoff spot for the first time in 29 years, beating the Chicago White Sox behind seven scoreless innings from Jeremy Guthrie. Kansas City secured at least a wild card and ended the longest active postseason drought among the major North American sports leagues. Not since George Brett led the Royals to a World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in 1985 had they reached the playoffs.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Reddick drove in three runs, Scott Kazmir won for the first time in seven starts and Oakland moved ever so close to their third consecutive playoff appearance with a victory over Texas. The A’s, who snapped a three-game losing streak, would clinch an American League wild-card spot with a win or a loss by Seattle with two games to play.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ian Kennedy pitched seven innings for his third consecutive win, Seth Smith hit a tiebreaking double in the sixth inning and San Diego beat San Francisco. One day after clinching a playoff berth, San Francisco couldn’t muster much at the plate and dropped two games off the pace in the race to host the NL wild-card game on Wednesday. Rene Rivera singled in a pair of runs and had two hits, and Yasmani Grandal also drove in a run to help the Padres clinch the season series against their division rivals for the first time since 2010.

Dodgers 7, Rockies 4

LOS ANGELES — Justin Turner’s two-run infield single highlighted a six-run sixth inning, and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers beat Colorado for their third win in a row. The Dodgers’ 92nd victory tied their total from last season, and the club has posted consecutive 90-win seasons for the first time since 1976-78. Justin Morneau of Colorado went 2 for 3 with a two-run homer and a walk to move past Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison for the NL batting lead at .319. Harrison was at .318 after going 1 for 4 in a win over Cincinnati.

Nationals 4, Marlins 0 (1st Game)

WASHINGTON — Kike Hernandez’s grand slam, J.T. Realmuto’s three-run triple and Adeiny Hechavarria’s four hits helped Miami beat NL East champion Washington for a split of a day-night doubleheader. After clinching home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs by winning the opener 4-0 on Doug Fister’s three-hitter, Washington used only two regulars in the nightcap. One, right fielder Jayson Werth, had a single, double and triple and threw out a runner.

Cardinals 7, D-backs 6, 10 (inns.)

PHOENIX — Jhonny Peralta drove in three runs, one with the go-ahead single in the 10th inning, and St. Louis survived an Arizona rally to beat the Diamondbacks and stay alone atop the NL Central. The game came hours after the Diamondbacks announced manager Kirk Gibson had been fired (Related story, C1). Pittsburgh won at Cincinnati 3-1 earlier Friday night, so the Pirates remain a game behind the Cardinals with two to play. Matt Adams led off the Cardinals 10th with a double to deep right, where outfielder David Peralta appeared to misjudge the ball. Jhonny Peralta followed with a sharp single to center to score what proved to be the winning run.
