Phillies 5, Reds 4

Philadelphia – Ken Griffey Jr. remained one shy of 600 home runs after getting the night off, but Philadelphia’s Chase Utley hit his major league-leading 21st homer.

Utley went deep for the fifth straight game, tying a club record he shares with Dick Allen, Mike Schmidt and Bobby Abreu. Utley also homered in five consecutive games earlier this season.

Rookie sensation Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion went deep for the Reds.

Braves 7, Marlins 5 (10)

Atlanta – Yunel Escobar hit the first game-ending homer of his career, a two-run shot in the 10th inning for the Braves.

Pirates 5, Cardinals 4

St. Louis – Jason Michaels hit a tying pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh and Jason Bay drove in the winning run an inning later as Pittsburgh rallied past St. Louis.

Michaels hit his first home run of the season on the first pitch he saw from starter Adam Wainwright. Michaels’ two-out blast landed in the Pirates’ bullpen and was just the second hit of the inning.

Brewers 4, D’backs 3

Milwaukee – Prince Fielder homered to lead off the eighth and helped scratch across another run with an unlikely steal of third to lift Milwaukee to a victory over Arizona.

Fielder, who went 3-for-4, drove a fastball by Arizona reliever Doug Slaten (0-2) deep to left-center field, where it bounced off a stadium support just below a “Vote Brewers” All-Star banner to give Milwaukee its first lead, 4-3.

It was Fielder’s third homer in the last four games.

Dodgers 8, Rockies 2

Los Angeles – Jeff Kent, Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp hit home runs, Derek Lowe pitched eight strong innings for his first win in more than five weeks, and Los Angeles handed Colorado its eighth straight loss.

Cubs 7, Padres 6

San Diego – Carlos Zambrano was as animated as he was good, helping Chicago to its eighth straight win.

Zambrano (8-1) allowed three runs in the first inning before settling down. He legged out three hits to tie his career-high and raise his average to .366. He hit a standup RBI triple that tied the game in the fourth, his third career triple.

Giants 10, Mets 2

San Francisco – Brian Horwitz hit the first home run of his career with a two-run shot in a six-run first, Ray Durham drove in three and Randy Winn homered for the Giants.
