Padres finally beat Dodgers at Petco Park this season, 6-1

The Padres beat the Dodgers for the first time in five games at Petco Park this season.

San Diego starter Clayton Richard (8-5) and four relievers combined on a four-hitter. No Dodgers batter reached base after the third inning.

Los Angeles starter Hiroki Kuroda (8-9) retired 10 straight batters going into the sixth inning, when the Padres rallied to take the lead.

Cardinals 8, Mets 7, 13 innings In New York, Albert Pujols drove in the go-ahead run with two outs in the 13th inning, as St. Louis survived a frantic comeback to edge New York.

The Cardinals scored six times off Mets ace Johan Santana in the first inning only to watch their bullpen let the lead slip away.

The Mets scored four times in the eighth to tie the game.

In the 13th, St. Louis got runners on the corner bases against Mets pitcher Pedro Feliciano (2-6). They elected to pitch to Pujols rather than walk the bases loaded, and Pujols hit a grounder through the left side for the winning run.

Mike MacDougal (1-0) worked the 12th inning to earn the win.

Reds 10, Brewers 2 In Milwaukee, Cincinnati's Brandon Phillips smacked a 450-foot grand slam as the visitors crunched Milwaukee.

The Reds scored 10 straight runs, capped by Phillips' shot in the eighth, for their 30th come-from-behind victory of the season.

Cincinnati's Travis Wood (1-1) earned his first win in the majors in his sixth start.

The Reds scored five runs in the sixth off Brewers starter Chris Narveson (8-7) and reliever Kameron Loe and five more off Carlos Villanueva in the eighth.

Braves 3, Nationals 1 In Washington, rookie Jason Heyward gave Atlanta its first steal of home in a decade as the Braves downed Washington.

Atlanta went ahead 2-0 on Heyward's rare dash home while Brian McCann was caught in a rundown.

Braves starter Tim Hudson (11-5) shut down Washington the way he almost always does, allowing only one run in 7 2-3 innings, improving to 10-1 with a 1.49 ERA for his career against the Nationals franchise.

Washington starter Livan Hernandez (7-7) gave up three runs in 4 1-3 innings, his shortest outing of 2010.

Phillies 7, Diamondbacks 1 In Philadelphia, Roy Halladay threw his eighth complete game to steer Philadelphia to a comfortable win over Arizona.

Halladay (12-8) upped his scoreless innings streak at home to 33 before a ninth-inning hit.

Top prospect Domonic Brown had two hits and two RBIs in his major league debut for the Phillies, who have won seven straight overall and 10 in a row at home.

Brown was called up from the minors before the game after outfielder Shane Victorino went on the 15-day disabled list with an abdominal strain on his left side.

Arizona has lost six straight. It was the fourth straight defeat for Diamondbacks starter Edwin Jackson (6-10).
