Philadelphia ? Randy Wolf decided rest was more important than consecutive shutouts.

Wolf extended his scoreless inning streak to 21, and Bobby Abreu and Jim Thome hit consecutive homers to lead Philadelphia to a 4-0 win over Arizona on Friday night.

Wolf (2-1) had another strong outing after his shutout at Montreal. He allowed five hits in seven innings and struck out five before asking to come out of the game after 106 pitches, citing fatigue.

“I just got drained,” Wolf said. “I didn’t want to be a hero out there. It’s a rarity for me. I usually want to stay out there.”

Wolf was cheered on by his faithful upper-deck followers, “The Wolf Pack,” but one of his biggest fans was silent and mostly unnoticed — his older brother Jim was the third-base umpire.

Turned out big brother really was watching.

There were no close calls at third and nothing to draw attention to the unique situation.

“He stayed out of it, so that was great,” Wolf said. “The best umpires are invisible.”

Wolf got all the runs he needed in the third inning when Abreu hit a three-run homer to left. Thome followed with a shot to almost the same spot off Elmer Dessens (1-3) for his seventh home run of the season.

The inning was extended was Placido Polanco reached first on a fielder’s choice on a close play. Arizona manager Bob Brenly screamed at first-base umpire Tony Randazzo from the dugout, complaining he blew the call.

Philadelphia starter Randy Wolf throws one of his 106 pitches against Arizona. Wolf pulled himself after lasting five innings and extending his scoreless inning streak to 21. The Phillies won, 4-0, Friday in Philadelphia.

“This is one particular instance where a missed call cost us a ballgame,” Brenly said. “Elemer ended up throwing 17 more pitches in that inning than he should have. You never know what would have happened after a call is missed, but certainly they wouldn’t have hit those two home runs.”

The Phillies did, and Dessens was chased after giving up six hits and four runs in four innings.

Another of those hits was in the third, when Dessens allowed a bloop single to left field by Wolf, who scored. Against the Expos, Wolf homered and had an RBI double.

“It’s great, but I wouldn’t get used to it,” Wolf said of his hitting . “It’s really luck.”

The third inning was an offensive explosion for the Phillies, who have five starters hitting under .250.

Pirates 4, Brewers 2

Milwaukee — Kris Benson pitched into the eighth inning, and Raul Mondesi hit three doubles for Pittsburgh.

Benson (3-1) struck out seven in 72/3 innings, his longest outing since May 27, 2003, in a 9-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. His 2003 season was cut short on July 18 by right shoulder tendinitis. He retired 10 in a row at one point.

Ben Sheets (3-2) gave up three runs and seven hits in eight innings. He had seven strikeouts and no walks, extending his streak to 322/3 innings without walking a batter.

Jose Mesa picked up his seventh save despite allowing his first run in 10 appearances this season.

Astros 6, Reds 1

Houston — Roger Clemens won his 315th game, moving past Gaylord Perry for 15th place on the career wins list.

Clemens (5-0) walked four of the first seven batters he faced, including D’Angelo Jimenez with the bases loaded, but quickly recovered. He allowed one run and five hits over six innings, while striking out six.

Lance Berkman homered and drove in two runs to lead Houston.

Jose Acevedo (2-2) gave up three runs on nine hits in six innings.

Cardinals 4, Cubs 3

St. Louis — LaTroy Hawkins walked Mike Matheny to force in the game-winning run in the ninth inning, spoiling a sharp outing by Kerry Wood.

With the score tied, St. Louis walked four times in the ninth to win it.

Albert Pujols drew a four-pitch walk against Kyle Farnsworth (0-1), and Jim Edmonds then walked against Kent Mercker. After a sacrifice bunt, Edgar Renteria was walked intentionally to load the bases, setting up Matheny’s game-ending base on balls.

Steve Kline (1-1) recorded one out for the win.

Wood struck out 10 in eight innings, allowing three runs on five hits.

Reggie Sanders hit his eighth home run for St. Louis.

Dodgers 13, Expos 4

Los Angeles — Paul Lo Duca ended a 65-game homerless drought to help send Montreal to its fifth straight loss.

Lo Duca’s solo shot in the fourth was his first since July 31 at Philadelphia. Shawn Green also homered for Los Angeles.

Kazuhisa Ishii (4-1) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings for the win.

Zach Day (2-2), who came in with a streak of 14 consecutive scoreless innings, was charged with five runs and eight hits in 52/3.

The Expos have lost 16 of their last 19 games.

Giants 12, Marlins 9

San Francisco — Eighteen runs were scored in the first two innings. Dontrelle Willis melted down in front of his family. Barry Bonds drew yet another bases-loaded walk.

And this crazy night still belonged to a 30-year-old rookie whose first major-league hit was simply grand.

Brian Dallimore’s grand slam highlighted San Francisco’s rally from an early seven-run deficit, and Bonds forced in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning of the Giants’ victory Friday.

Jeffrey Hammonds also homered, and Pedro Feliz drove in three runs during San Francisco’s best offensive performance of the season. Marquis Grissom had four hits, and Edgardo Alfonzo drove in two runs as the Giants pounded out 16 hits.

Padres 7, Mets 6

San Diego — Brian Giles hit a two-run home run to start San Diego’s comeback from a five-run deficit, and Ramon Vazquez drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the fifth.

The Mets scored five in the first off Padres starter Brain Lawrence (3-2), but he settled down and worked the next four innings scoreless.

Meanwhile, the Padres rallied against New York starter Tyler Yates (1-3), who allowed five runs on seven hits in 41/3 innings.

Giles’ fourth homer of the season made it 5-2 in the third, and San Diego tacked on two unearned runs in the fourth when Giles’ hard shot went through shortstop Kazuo Matsui for an error.

San Diego took the lead in the fifth on RBI singles by Khalil Greene, Vazquez, who was pinch hitting, and Sean Burroughs.
