Monday’s N.L. results

Pirates 6, Dodgers 4: At Los Angeles, Nate McLouth extended his season-opening hitting streak to 13 games with a two-out, three-run home run off closer Takashi Saito in the ninth inning, and Pittsburgh beat the Dodgers.

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 4: At San Francisco, Randy Johnson had a hard time finding the strike zone in his season debut, eight months after back surgery. The Big Unit settled down to finish with seven strikeouts in five innings, but the Giants rallied against Arizona’s bullpen for a win.
