Monday’s games

Astros 7, Pirates 5: Lance Berkman hit a tying three-run double and Jeff Kent drove in the go-ahead run in a big fifth inning, helping Houston rally past visiting Pittsburgh. Berkman was 2 for 4 with four RBIs for the Astros, who came back from four runs down to win their second in a row. Kent had to leave the game after the seventh inning after jamming his right pinkie while sliding into third base in the fifth. He remained in the game after the injury, but didn’t take the field for the eighth inning. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.

Padres 3, Diamondbacks 1: Phil Nevin hit a rare home run at Petco Park and Trevor Hoffman earned his 368th save to take sole possession of fourth place on the career list, leading San Diego past Arizona. It was just the fourth win in 13 games for the Padres, who were roughed up by A.L. East teams in interleague play. Hoffman, who was tied with Jeff Reardon for fourth all-time, threw a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 18 chances.

Giants 3, Dodgers 2: Cody Ransom singled up the middle with two outs in the ninth to drive in the winning run, leading San Francisco past visiting Los Angeles. After Dustan Mohr’s two-out single, Guillermo Mota (3-2) walked pinch-hitter Damon Minor and Ray Durham to load the bases for Ransom, who got just his fifth RBI of the season.
