Atlanta ? John Smoltz won his fifth straight home start, combining on a four-hitter and leading the Atlanta Braves over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-0, Monday night.

Martin Prado, sent to the minor leagues on April 25, was recalled before the game and hit a two-run double.

Smoltz (11-6) struck out 10, allowing three hits and one walk in eight innings in his fourth double-digit strikeout game of the season, the 40th of his career. He retired 14 consecutive batters starting with the final out of the first.

Bob Wickman finished with a one-hit ninth for his ninth straight save since the Braves acquired him July 20.

Marlins 3, Nationals 1

Cincinnati – Rich Aurilia went 4-for-4 with a tying three-run homer in the eighth inning, and Royce Clayton hit an RBI single that sent Cincinnati to victory.

Phillies 6, Cubs 5

Chicago – Chase Utley homered and accidentally delivered a hard hit on teammate Aaron Rowand, and Jimmy Rollins also homered to lead Philadelphia to its third straight victory.

Rowand hobbled off the field due to a sprained right ankle after colliding with Utley in the eighth inning and was taken to a hospital for X-rays.

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 0

San Francisco – Barry Bonds splashed his 725th career home run into McCovey Cove, moving the San Francisco slugger within 30 of tying home run king Hank Aaron’s record of 755.

Noah Lowry pitched a two-hitter for his first complete game of the year and third of his career for the Giants.

Padres 4, Dodgers 2

San Diego – Tim Stauffer gave the Padres a desperately needed boost with six strong innings in an emergency start.

Stauffer was hastily summoned from Triple-A Portland on Monday after Chan Ho Park had a recurrence of intestinal bleeding that recently forced him to go on the disabled list.
