Denver – Lance Berkman drove in two runs, and Wandy Rodriguez pitched five strong innings to lead Houston. The Astros had one other hit when Berkman hit a two-run double in the sixth. He was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing a called third strike. Luke Scott had three hits for the Astros, including a two-run homer in the ninth.

Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3 (10)

Phoenix – Chris Young homered with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift Arizona to its 10th win in 11 games.

Young, who was 0-for-4 with a strikeout before his final at-bat, connected for his seventh homer of the year and first since May 11 against Kevin Correia (1-3).

Padres 1, Dodgers 0

San Diego – Marcus Giles singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for San Diego, and Trevor Hoffman moved within one save of becoming the first major-leaguer with 500.

The Padres won for the eighth time in 10 games. It was just their third win in seven games this season against their biggest rival.
