Cardinals 3, Pirates 1: At St. Louis, Braden Looper won for the third time in four starts and Yadier Molina extended his hitting streak to 15 games, helping St. Louis complete a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh.

Braves 2, Mets 1: At Atlanta, John Smoltz recorded his 200th win with another triumph over one of his best friends. Smoltz beat Tom Glavine with seven shutout innings and Matt Diaz homered for Atlanta, which won two of three in the series to cut New York’s lead in the N.L. East to 1 1/2 games.

Nationals 4, Reds 3: At Cincinnati, Dmitri Young went 3 for 4 with two RBIs, Mike Bacsik got his first win in almost three years and Washington won for the fourth time in five games.

Diamondbacks 9, Astros 1: At Phoenix, rookie Micah Owings struck out a season-high eight in his first complete game, and Arizona sent Houston to its fifth straight loss. Owings retired 18 of the last 20 batters. He allowed a run and nine hits.

Marlins 5, Phillies 4 (11): At Miami, Miguel Cabrera’s double off the scoreboard brought home Hanley Ramirez from first base with none out in the 11th inning as Florida beat Philadelphia. Tempers flared in the fourth inning, when the benches and bullpens emptied, and at least one punch was thrown by an unidentified Florida player, but no ejections resulted from the confrontation.

Cubs 3, Padres 1: At San Diego, Derrek Lee slid home safely with the go-ahead run on the first of two run-scoring groundouts in the ninth as Chicago beat San Diego. Bob Howry (2-3) pitched a perfect eighth for the win.
