Roy Oswalt pitches Phillies past Dodgers in 5-1 victory

Braves 4, Mets 1 At Atlanta, Tommy Hanson finally got some run support and won for the first time in nearly two months, allowing one hit in seven shutout innings to lead Atlanta past New York.

Omar Infante and Jason Heyward combined for seven hits at the top of the Braves' order. Martin Prado drove in two runs with a first-inning double.

The Braves won their fifth straight and maintained a three-game lead in the NL East over Philadelphia.

Hanson (9-10) went 0-5 in his previous 10 starts. But he was in total command against New York, winning for the first time since July 3. David Wright's one-out double in the fourth was the lone hit off the Atlanta starter.

Marlins 16, Nationals 10 At Miami, Nyjer Morgan charged the mound after a pitch sailed behind him, triggering a bench-clearing brawl during Florida's wild win over Washington.

Morgan, recently suspended and criticized by his own manager for questionable acts on the field, left Florida catcher Brett Hayes with a separated shoulder Tuesday night after a home plate collision in the 10th inning.

Florida's Chris Volstad hit Morgan with a pitch in the fourth inning this time. The speedy leadoff man then stole two bases with his Nationals trailing 14-3.

Volstad (9-9) threw his first pitch of the sixth behind Morgan, setting off a frenzied scene. Morgan took a big swing that appeared to graze Volstad's face — Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez clothes-lined Morgan, knocking off his batting helmet and sending him to the ground.

The teams piled up, and managers Jim Riggleman of the Nationals and Edwin Rodriguez of the Marlins jawed at each other.

Morgan, Volstad, Rodriguez and Marlins pitcher Jose Veras were ejected. Morgan was booed loudly when he raised his arms as he was escorted off the field.

Morgan is currently appealing a seven-game suspension for throwing a ball at a fan in the stands in Philadelphia on Aug. 21.

Cubs 5, Pirates 3 At Chicago, Kosuke Fukudome had three hits, including a go-ahead double, during a perfect day at the plate to lead Chicago past Pittsburgh.

Carlos Marmol escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning and finished for his 25th save in 30 chances. Fukudome went 3 for 3 with two doubles and a walk. He also scored twice.

Chicago starter Tom Gorzelanny was knocked out in the third when Jose Tabata lined a shot off his right hand. The left-hander departed for X-rays, but five Cubs relievers combined to allow four hits the rest of the way.
