Denver ? Larry Walker might be emerging from his season-long hitting slump, and he’s doing it by walking more.

Walker drove in four runs, helping Aaron Cook and Colorado snap Los Angeles’ 10-game winning streak, 7-3, Tuesday night.

The Dodgers’ winning streak was their longest since they won 11 straight in 1993.

“Beating a team like that that’s been hot, it has to do a lot for our confidence,” Rockies outfielder Jay Payton said. “Maybe this will get us on a little bit of a roll.”

It was the Rockies’ third straight win.

The Rockies tagged Kazuhisa Ishii (4-2) for five runs in the first inning, including Walker’s two-run triple and a key error by first baseman Fred McGriff.

Walker added a bases-loaded, two-run single off Guillermo Mota in the seventh.

Walker has drawn 14 walks in the past six games, including one Tuesday night.

“That’s a big step,” he said. “Even though there are not hits there, it has helped my confidence as far as seeing the ball better and not just flailing away at everything.

“I’m swinging at better pitches. Now I’m being more selective at the plate and not hacking at everything they throw up there. If I continue to do that, things will be all right,” he said.

Walker has gone 5-for-7 in the past two games, raising his average to .267.

Braves 3, Reds 2, (10)

Atlanta — Chipper Jones led off the bottom of the 10th inning with a homer for Atlanta. Jones hit a 1-0 pitch from Chris Reitsma (3-2) into the left-field seats as the teams went to extra innings for the second day in a row. Trey Hodges (2-0) escaped a jam in the top half of the 10th after second baseman Mark DeRosa let the leadoff man reach with an error. Austin Kearns struck out with a runner at third and Sean Casey grounded out with the bases loaded to end the inning.

Mets 4, Phillies 2

Philadelphia — Al Leiter pitched six shutout innings and Jeromy Burnitz hit a two-run homer to lead New York. The Mets have won four of six, including three straight against the Phillies. Philadelphia has dropped five of six. Leiter (5-2) allowed two hits, struck out eight and walked six. He was removed after throwing 136 pitches, including full counts on 16 batters. Philadelphia has just 18 runs in its last six games.

Pirates 9, Cubs 4

Chicago — Kenny Lofton extended his hitting streak to 25 games, and Aramis Ramirez had four hits for Pittsburgh. Ramirez finished 4-for-5 with an RBI, four days after getting four hits against St. Louis. Eric Karros and Corey Patterson each hit two-run homers for the Cubs. Chicago right-hander Matt Clement (2-6) gave up seven runs and nine hits in just five innings. He hasn’t won since April 18, and his five straight losses match a career high.

Astros 7, Cardinals 4

St. Louis — Jeriome Robertson beat St. Louis for the second straight start, and Jeff Kent homered and had three hits for Houston. Robertson (3-3) lasted six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits. The rookie left-hander allowed one run in 52¼3 innings in a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals at Houston last Thursday. Brett Tomko (2-4), who entered with an NL-best 1.32 ERA at home, allowed four runs on eight hits in seven innings.

Brewers 4, Padres 2

San Diego — Pinch-hitters Brady Clark and Keith Ginter had consecutive two-run singles with two outs in the ninth inning, rallying Milwaukee in a matchup of the NL’s worst teams. It was the 25th loss in 29 games for the Padres, who started the day percentage points ahead of Detroit for the worst record in the majors. The Tigers (13-37) lost to Cleveland. San Diego is 14-38 and Milwaukee 19-32.
