• Pirates 10, Dodgers 6: PITTSBURGH — Garrett Jones hit two three-run homers, A.J. Burnett became the first Pirates pitcher with 15 wins in 13 years, and Pittsburgh avoided a four-game sweep with a 10-6 victory over Los Angeles. Jones had a career-high six RBIs, and Pedro Alvarez homered for the Pirates, who had lost six of seven.

• Mets 8, Reds 4: CINCINNATI — Rookie Matt Harvey drove in one more run than he allowed in the longest outing of his short major league career, and New York snapped Cincinnati’s five-game winning streak. Harvey (2-3), who had lost three straight starts after winning in his major league debut, allowed one run and four hits in 7 2⁄3 innings.

• Braves 6, Padres 0: ATLANTA — Chipper Jones homered twice on a night when a big crowd turned out to get his bobblehead, and Atlanta won its 15th straight game with Kris Medlen as a starter. Jones came out of the dugout for a curtain call after both drives, the second of which was his 2,700th career hit.

• Brewers 7, Phillies 4: MILWAUKEE — Corey Hart’s grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning led Milwaukee and prevented Philadelphia’s Cliff Lee from getting a rare win. Livan Hernandez (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth for the victory. Jim Henderson recorded the final two outs for his third save in four chances, getting Erik Kratz to ground out with the bases loaded to end the game.

• Rockies 5, Marlins 3: DENVER — Michael Cuddyer homered and DJ LeMahieu had two hits for streaking Colorado. Eric Young Jr. and Josh Rutledge had a hit and an RBI apiece for the Rockies, who won their fourth straight game. Rafael Betancourt tossed a perfect ninth for his 22nd save.

• Diamondbacks 2, Cardinals 1: ST. LOUIS — Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Young homered on consecutive pitches from Jason Motte with one out in the ninth inning, leading Arizona over St. Louis.
