Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 5

Phoenix – Backed by Stephen Drew’s career-high four hits, Brandon Webb became the major leagues’ first nine-game winner.

Webb (9-0) has won his first nine starts, the most since San Diego’s Andy Hawkins won his first 10 in 1985, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Webb has won 11 straight starts dating to last September.

Brandon Lyon pitched out of a base-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth for his 12th save in 14 chances and his 11th in a row.

Arizona manager Bob Melvin lifted Webb with one out in the eighth after Matt Holliday singled to make it 5-3. He threw 111 pitches and allowed three runs on six hits.

Colorado’s Aaron Cook (6-2) lasted only five innings in his shortest outing of the season. He allowed a season-high five runs on 10 hits and four walks.

Mets 1, Nationals 0

New York – Willie Harris’ diving catch in the ninth saved the Nationals, who got a fantastic pitching performance from Jason Bergmann.

Washington won an unlikely duel between Bergmann and Mike Pelfrey, who carried a no-hit bid into the seventh.

Pirates 11, Cardinals 5

St. Louis – Pinch-hitter Jason Bay’s three-run homer off Jason Isringhausen snapped an eighth-inning tie and capped Pittsburgh’s rally from an early four-run deficit.

Nate McLouth added his 11th homer for the Pirates, who outscored the sagging Cardinals 10-0 the last five innings to take two of three in the series.

Isringhausen (1-5) was demoted from the closer’s role last week and was serving as the setup man for Ryan Franklin, but ended up with his sixth blown save in 17 chances.

Cubs 4, Padres 0

Chicago – Ryan Dempster struck out a career-high 12 and hit a go-ahead single against Greg Maddux during a four-run fifth inning, leading Chicago over the punchless Padres.

Astros 8, Giants 7

San Francisco – Lance Berkman splashed his major-league-leading 15th home run into McCovey Cove, breaking a ninth-inning tie and helping Houston rally.

Houston came back from a 6-0 deficit to take three of four from the Giants, its first series win at San Francisco since a three-game sweep in September 2001.

Phillies 5, Braves 0

Philadelphia – Cole Hamels pitched his first career shutout, Ryan Howard homered, and the Phillies moved within a game of the NL East-leading Florida Marlins.

Pedro Feliz and Shane Victorino also homered and drove in two runs each for the Phillies, who lead the major leagues with 59 home runs. Florida has hit 58.

Dodgers 7, Brewers 2

Milwaukee – Andruw Jones, Jeff Kent and Gary Bennett homered during a six-run seventh inning, leading Chad Billingsley and the Dodgers past Milwaukee.

After Jones and Kent hit solo shots, Bennett capped the burst with a three-run homer.
