PHOENIX (AP) Ildemaro Vargas hit two homers and had five RBIs, Nolan Arenado added a two-run shot and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Chicago White Sox 11-7 on Wednesday night.

Vargas hit two homers in a game for just the second time in his 10-year big league career. Arenado finished with four hits and three RBIs. Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll both had three hits.

The D-backs had three triples and three homers for just the third time in franchise history, which started in 1998.

Chicago’s Munetaka Murakami homered in his fifth straight game, hitting a two-run shot in the seventh to tie an MLB rookie record.

The D-backs trailed 2-0 after one inning but rallied for a 4-2 lead in the second after Vargas crushed a three-run homer that landed deep in the left field seats. Carroll added an RBI single. Vargas has hit safety in all 17 games this year, which is the longest streak to start a season in franchise history.

He has a 20-game hitting streak dating to last season, which is currently the longest in the big leagues. The first baseman hit a two-run homer in the third.

Chicago’s Miguel Vargas cut the deficit to 4-3 in the third with a solo homer that flew 428 feet, clearing the fence at the deepest part of Chase Field in left center. Colson Montgomery also hit a solo homer.

The White Sox took the early 2-0 lead after a Edgar Quero’s bases-loaded walk and Montgomery’s RBI groundout. Chase Meidroth and Miguel Vargas started the inning with back-to-back singles.

Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez (2-0) gave up four runs over five innings. Chicago’s Anthony Kay (1-1) was tagged for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings.

The D-backs send RHP Michael Soroka (4-0, 2.78 ERA) to the mound on Thursday, while the White Sox counter with RHP Davis Martin (3-1, 2.16).

DENVER (AP) Nicolas Roy scored on a rebound 7:44 into overtime and Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves, including a penalty shot, as the Colorado Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Roy put the winner through the legs of defenseman Brandt Clarke and into the net to set off a wild celebration.

The game was halted for roughly 17 minutes in the second period when a pane of glass shattered behind the Kings bench, sending pieces raining on interim coach D.J. Smith. The incident occurred right after Quinton Byfield was stopped on a penalty shot by Wedgewood and fans began to celebrate by pounding on the glass. It gave way as Smith covered his head and then brushed the glass off his suit.

Colorado is 17-2 in playoff series when taking a 2-0 lead since relocating to Denver before the 1995-96 season. Los Angeles is 3-12 in postseason series when facing an 0-2 hole.

The Kings took the lead on Artemi Panarin’s power-play goal with 6:56 remaining. Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog tied it up with 3:35 left when he got loose in front of the net.

Game 3 is Thursday night in Los Angeles.

This was a showdown between Wedgewood and Anton Forsberg, who both turned in sensational saves. Forsberg stopped 34 shots.

It was a physical game, too, that featured 52 hits, 52 blocks, 11 penalties, plenty of skirmishes and lots of hard feelings.

Colorado thought it had a goal after a shot from Sam Malinski seconds into the third. The horn went off and the fans erupted, but it was quickly ruled that the puck stuck into the side of the net and never went in.

Forsberg and his defensive teammates did their part. Mikey Anderson broke up a 3-on-1 with a slide across the ice in the second when Martin Necas elected to pass, and Drew Doughty made a similar sliding play later in the period.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Logan Cooley scored off a rebound with six minutes left to give the Utah Mammoth a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night, and they will head back to Utah with a split of the first two games in their first-round playoffs series.

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in Salt Lake City.

Cooley, a 21-year-old from Pittsburgh, is the youngest U.S.-born player to scored a goal in each of his first two playoff games.

“It’s so exciting playing in these games,” Cooley said. “You’re playing for the (Stanley) Cup. That’s what you dream about since you’re a little kid. You just want to leave everything out there. The games are so intense, physical, fast and I think that kind of fits my game.”

Cooley, who missed 28 games because of a lower-body injury, scored 24 goals and 43 points in 54 games in the regular season. He finished strong with seven goals and 13 points in his final 10 games before the playoffs.

“I don’t know if it’s impressive when you see him every day,” Mammoth coach André Tourigny said. “We know how competitive, how good he is. So for us, it’s to stay in the moment. I think Cools has been really good for us since he’s with us for three years now. Right now, his head is at the right place. He’s in the moment. I think everybody in our room right now is. Their focus is in the right place and we need to keep it that way.”

It’s the first playoff victory for the Mammoth since the organization relocated from Arizona two years ago.

This was the Golden Knights’ first regulation defeat under coach John Tortorella (8-1-1).

“I thought our first period was one of our better first periods in a while,” Tortorella said. “We just lost any type of flow in the second period. I thought we had a good start to the third period and had some opportunities. We couldn’t score. They find a way because of their speed. We’ve got a couple of things we need to fix. That’s why it’s a series.”

Dylan Guenther had a goal and assist for the Mammoth, MacKenzie Weegar scored and Kailer Yamamoto finished with two assists. Karel Vejmelka recorded 19 saves.

Mark Stone and Ivan Barbashev scored for the Golden Knights, with Jack Eichel picking up the primary assist on each. Carter Hart, who stopped 26 shots, suffered his first loss under Tortorella in Vegas after winning his first seven starts.

With the score tied at 2 in the waning minutes of regulation, Guenther took a shot off the rush, got his own rebound and then hit the puck off the post. Cooley was waiting there, knocking in the puck to pull the Mammoth even.

The teams traded goals in each of the first two periods.

After Stone scored in the first period on a shot that went off Utah defenseman Mikhail Sergachev’s skate, the Golden Knights, for the second game in a row, had an unforced error in which the puck ended up in their net. Weegar was credited with the goal after the puck went off two Vegas defensemen – Noah Hanifin’s stick and Rasmus Andersson’s shin – into the open net.

Guenther delivered a shot from the left point in the second period for the Mammoth, before Barbashev answered 1:02 later by weaving through the slot to put in a backhand.
