New York ? Aaron Heilman threw one pitch here and the next one there, working in and out with movement and location, showing the kind of quality the New York Mets have always hoped for from the lanky right-hander.

That was the formula for a brilliant one-hitter Friday night as Heilman outpitched Josh Beckett and shut out the Florida Marlins, 4-0.

He got hitting help from Mike Piazza, who broke out of a slump with two doubles and three RBIs to send the Mets to their fifth straight victory after an 0-5 start.

“It was just an outstanding job by Aaron,” manager Willie Randolph said. “He kept the ball down. He had location and movement. He threw a great game. When the ball moves like that, you get lots of groundballs.”

And just one hit — Luis Castillo’s infield single in the fourth.

Dodgers 4, Padres 0

Los Angeles — Derek Lowe pitched a three-hitter and drove in two runs, Jeff Kent and Milton Bradley hit consecutive homers.

Giants 13, Rockies 6

Denver — Pedro Feliz hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high five runs, Noah Lowry pushed his undefeated streak to 22 games and San Francisco beat Colorado.

New York's Aaron Heilman delivers against Florida. Heilman pitched a one-hitter in the Mets' 4-0 victory Friday night in New York.

Cardinals 3, Brewers 0

Milwaukee — Jeff Suppan took a five-hitter into the ninth inning and St. Louis spoiled Ben Sheets’ record payday. Sheets, a two-time All-Star, signed a $38.5 million, four-year contract with the Brewers.

Braves 11, Phillies 4

Philadelphia — Raul Mondesi and Rafael Furcal each hit two home runs, Adam LaRoche added a two-run shot and Atlanta beat Philadelphia. Furcal went 3-for-4 and scored four runs, and Brian Jordan had a three-run double to help Atlanta snap a two-game losing streak and get the Braves off to a good start on their seven-game road trip.

Astros 11, Reds 2

Cincinnati — Jason Lane homered twice, driving in a career-high five runs for Houston, and Roy Oswalt improved to 13-0 against the Reds. The Astros won their 12th straight game against Cincinnati, a streak that began last July 31 and has been helped mightily by Oswalt (2-1), who regularly bedazzles the Reds’ free-swinging lineup.

Pirates 8, Cubs 5

Pittsburgh — Pittsburgh roughed up Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano for five runs after barely scoring against him last season.
