Monday’s results

Brewers 10, Reds 6: At Cincinnati, Bill Hall broke out of a slump with his first career grand slam, a seventh-inning shot that powered Milwaukee to a victory over the Reds. Hall was in a 1-for-22 rut when he connected off reliever Todd Coffey.

Cubs 12, Padres 4: At Chicago, Cubs centerfielder Alfonso Soriano left in the fifth inning after injuring a hamstring while attempting a diving catch in Chicago’s rout of San Diego. Jason Marquis allowed one run in six innings.

Pirates 3, Cardinals 2: At St. Louis, Albert Pujols popped up with the bases loaded for the final out, and Pittsburgh got an excellent pitching performance from Ian Snell in a victory over the Cardinals. Snell threw seven innings of three-hit ball.

Giants 8, Rockies 0: At Denver, Barry Zito gave up three hits in six innings for his first victory with San Francisco, and Ray Durham and Bengie Molina hit back-to-back homers in the third as the Giants beat Colorado.

Nationals 5, Braves 1: At Washington, with only a few shivering souls in the stands at RFK Stadium, Matt Chico labored through a 37-pitch first inning and got the win despite walking five and striking out none as Washington beat Atlanta.

Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 1: At Phoenix, Nomar Garciaparra drove in two runs with a homer and a double as Los Angeles won for the ninth time in 11 games, beating Arizona behind the pitching of Brad Penny.

Mets at Phillies, ppd.: The game between New York and Philadelphia was postponed due to rain. It will be made up as part of a day/night doubleheader June 29.
