The Spokesman-Review

Nationals 4, Braves 3: At Washington, Felipe Lopez returned from a rare day off by stopping a 0-for-13 skid with a single, double and go-ahead triple, and the Nationals came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Atlanta.

Mets 6, Cubs 5: At New York, Carlos Delgado’s two-run single capped a five-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning and set off a wild celebration at home plate as the Mets startled Chicago.

Diamondbacks 3, Rockies 1: At Denver, Livan Hernandez allowed four hits over seven innings, singled twice and scored a run in Arizona’s victory over Colorado. Hernandez gave up a run while walking four and striking out two.

Brewers 3, Phillies 2: At Philadelphia, Ben Sheets struck out eight in 7 2/3 innings and Gabe Gross hit a pair of solo homers for the first multihomer game of his big league career, leading Milwaukee over the Phillies.

Pirates 7, Marlins 2: At Pittsburgh, the Pirates used four sacrifice flies and took advantage of five Florida errors in a sloppily-played win. Ronny Paulino had three RBIs and Shawn Chacon pitched five shutout innings out of the bullpen for Pittsburgh.

Giants 2, Astros 1 (12): At Houston, Randy Winn beat out a grounder off Brad Lidge to score Pedro Feliz in the 12th inning, helping San Francisco beat the Astros. Giants rookie Tim Lincecum struck out 10 in his third career start.
