Thursday’s results
Cardinals 4, Padres 3: At St. Louis, Troy Glaus hit two homers and Rick Ankiel and Joe Mather added one each off San Diego’s Jake Peavy as the Cardinals beat the Padres.
It was only the second time in his seven-year career that Peavy allowed four homers.
The other time was July 9, 2003, at Arizona. Peavy (7-6) gave up eight hits and struck out seven in seven innings.
Kyle Lohse (12-2) won his ninth straight decision, the most for St. Louis since Chris Carpenter won 13 in a row in 2005.
Lohse pitched seven innings, allowing two runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out four.
Mets 10, Reds 8: At Cincinnati, David Wright’s two-run homer in the ninth inning rallied New York to its 10th straight victory, a win over the Reds that moved the once-languishing Mets back into first place in the East.
Rockies 5, Pirates 3: At Denver, Chris Iannetta homered and drove in three runs and Ubaldo Jimenez pitched seven strong innings to lead Colorado to a victory over Pittsburgh.
Brian Fuentes struck out the side in the ninth for his 15th save this season and 100th of his career.
