Washington Nationals beat New York Mets 5-3


AP


NEW YORK -- Ryan Zimmerman homered and Tim Redding pitched two-hit ball for six innings, sending the Washington Nationals to a 5-3 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night.

Jesus Flores hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the seventh off Aaron Heilman, who was booed on and off the mound by the Shea Stadium crowd. Washington added three more runs in the inning, sticking Claudio Vargas with a tough-luck loss in his Mets debut.

Brian Schneider homered and drove in two runs against his former club, but New York (20-18) dropped to a disappointing 3-3 on its seven-game homestand against last-place teams.

Redding (5-3) allowed one run and struck out four, improving to 3-0 in three road starts this season.

Diamondbacks 4, Rockies 3 At Phoenix, Micah Owings threw six shutout innings and Brandon Lyon earned his 10th straight save while Arizona continued its domination of the defending National League champion Colorado.

Orlando Hudson had a two-run double for the Diamondbacks, who have won seven of eight games against Colorado this season after being swept in the NL championship series last fall.

Lyon pitched out of trouble in the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. He gave up two-out singles to Todd Helton and Garrett Atkins before retiring Brad Hawpe on a pop to third base.

Braves 8, Phillies 6 At Philadelphia, Tom Glavine pitched 5 2-3 effective innings to earn his first win for Atlanta since beating the Phillies on Sept. 19, 2002.

Chipper Jones, Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson each hit solo homers and Brian McCann drove in three runs to support Glavine (1-1), who spent the previous five seasons with the New York Mets after pitching his first 16 years in Atlanta.

He allowed four runs and four hits and took a one-hitter into the sixth.

Blaine Boyer got the last four outs for his first career save. He allowed an RBI single to Jimmy Rollins in the ninth, before retiring Shane Victorino on a fly ball to the warning track with the tying run on second base to end it.

Reds 7, Marlins 6, 10 innings At Cincinnati, Paul Janish singled home the tiebreaking, 10th-inning run in just his second big-league at-bat after Cincinnati blew a six-run lead in the ninth.

Astros 6, Giants 3 At San Francisco, Miguel Tejada had three hits, including the go-ahead single in the seventh, and Lance Berkman and Brad Ausmus homered for Houston.

Dodgers 6, Brewers 4 At Milwaukee, Juan Pierre hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the ninth inning, and Los Angeles overcame a three-run deficit to beat Milwaukee and stop a season-high, five-game losing streak.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 1 At St. Louis, Todd Wellemeyer allowed two hits into the eighth inning for St. Louis, and Albert Pujols had two hits, reaching base for the 41st straight game to start the season.

Cubs 8, Padres 5 At Chicago, Ted Lilly struck out 11 in six innings to win his third straight start, and Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto homered to lead Chicago past San Diego.
