Braves 11, Diamondbacks 4: At Phoenix, Chipper Jones homered and drove in four runs to lead Atlanta past Arizona for its fifth straight victory. Russ Ortiz got his 13th win and Eddie Perez went 4 for 5 with two homers for the streaking Braves, who have won 10 of 11 and 14 of 16.

Pirates 4, Padres 2: At San Diego, Randall Simon hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth and Oliver Perez (7-6) pitched into the seventh inning against his former team, leading Pittsburgh to a win over the Padres.

Phillies 4, Dodgers 1: At Los Angeles, Brett Myers pitched two-hit ball for eight shutout innings and struck out a season-high nine, leading Philadelphia to a victory over the Dodgers. Myers (7-8) held the Dodgers hitless until the sixth, allowed only four baserunners and combined with Tim Worrell on a four-hitter. Worrell gave up an RBI double to Shawn Green with two outs in the ninth.

Reds 14, Rockies 7: At Denver, Wily Mo Pena homered and had a career-high five RBIs before leaving in the sixth inning with cramps and dehydration in Cincinnati’s victory over Colorado.

Brewers 2, Marlins 0: At Miami, Chris Capuano (6-6) pitched six shutouts innings and Milwaukee ended a five-game losing streak by beating Florida. Bill Hall and Brady Clark had RBI singles for Milwaukee, which snapped its longest skid of the season with its fifth win in 20 games.

Cardinals 6, Mets 2: At St. Louis, Edgar Renteria tied his career high with five hits and St. Louis Cardinals handed Al Leiter (8-4) his worst loss of the year, completing a three-game sweep of New York. Jason Marquis (12-4) pitched six strong innings to win his ninth straight decision for the Cardinals.

Expos 5, Astros 2: At Houston, Alex Gonzalez and Brian Schneider hit back-to-back homers and Montreal beat Roger Clemens (12-4) and the Astros.

Giants 6, Cubs 3: At San Francisco, rookie Noah Lowry (2-0) had another impressive start and Dustan Mohr made a run-saving diving catch at the warning track in the eighth inning as the Giants doubled up Chicago. The Giants moved within two games of the Cubs in the N.L. wild card race, tied with San Diego.
