Giants 4, Cubs 2: At Chicago, Barry Bonds hit his 728th career homer, Ray Durham and Moises Alou connected on back-to-back shots in the sixth and Matt Cain pitched 7 2/3 innings to lead San Francisco over the Cubs.

Padres 7, Reds 1: At San Diego, Jake Peavy threw a two-hitter, matching his career best, and struck out 14 for the Padres, who beat Cincinnati to keep the lead in the wild-card race. Rookie Josh Barfield hit a two-run homer, Mike Cameron had three hits and the Padres opened a one-game lead over Philadelphia.

Braves 4-4, Phillies 3-16: At Philadelphia, Mike Lieberthal homered and drove in four runs, helping the Phillies beat Atlanta to gain a split of their day-night doubleheader. In the opener, Adam LaRoche hit a two-run homer off Arthur Rhodes in the ninth inning to lead Atlanta to victory.

Dodgers 14, Rockies 5: At Los Angeles, Nomar Garciaparra hit a three-run homer and a three-run double to help Brad Penny become the league’s first 15-game winner, and the Dodgers hammered Colorado.

Mets 4, Astros 2: At Houston, Cliff Floyd had a double and two RBIs in his return from the disabled list to back rookie John Maine’s strong pitching and New York beat the Astros.

Pirates 1, Cardinals 0: At St. Louis, Shawn Chacon and two relievers combined on an eight-hitter and Ronny Paulino hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to lead Pittsburgh past the Cardinals.

Marlins 9, Brewers 6 (10): At Milwaukee, Alfredo Amezaga singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and Florida beat the Brewers to extend Milwaukee’s losing streak to a season-high nine games.
