Chicago ? Three San Francisco players none of them named Barry Bonds homered to offset a two-run shot by Sammy Sosa as the Giants beat Chicago, 12-4, on Tuesday night.

David Bell and Reggie Sanders each hit two-run homers and drove in another run, and Tsuyoshi Shinjo had a solo homer and another RBI.

Kirk Rueter (2-1) scattered two hits over seven innings, allowing his only runs on Sosa’s homer to right in the sixth.

Expos 5, Brewers 4

Montreal Vladimir Guerrero and Brad Wilkerson each hit two-run singles and first-place Montreal extended its winning streak to four games. With the Montreal Canadiens facing Boston in a first-round NHL playoff game at the Molson Centre, a season-low crowd of 3,561 was on hand to see the Expos win their sixth in seven.

Mets 4, Cardinals 3

New York Vance Wilson, replacing injured All-Star slugger Mike Piazza, hit a go-ahead single to lead Jeff D’Amico and New York. Piazza lined an RBI single in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to eight games, then grabbed for his left hamstring as he was running to first.

Diamondbacks 5, Braves 2

Atlanta Curt Schilling gave up four hits and struck out 10 in eight innings as Arizona beat Atlanta in a rematch of last year’s NL championship series.

Dodgers 9, Pirates 6

Pittsburgh Kazuhisa Ishii withstood Pittsburgh’s six-run second inning to become the first Los Angeles rookie pitcher to win his first four starts since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981, and the Dodgers rallied past the Pirates.

Marlins 4, Astros 3, (12)

Miami Alex Gonzalez’s one-out single in the 12th inning scored Luis Castillo and gave Florida a win over Houston. Vladimir Nunez (3-0) allowed two hits in three scoreless innings.

Reds 3, Rockies 2

Cincinnati Slumping Barry Larkin returned to Cincinnati’s lineup and hit a run-scoring single and made a pivotal defensive play. Larkin has been slowed by pulled muscles in his side and was in a 5-for-17 slide.

Phillies 8, Padres 5

Philadelphia Pat Burrell homered and drove in two runs, and Philadelphia’s beleaguered bullpen pitched four scoreless innings. The Phillies, who had lost four straight and eight of 10, overcame a 5-0 first-inning deficit.
