• Brewers 6, Pirates 0: PITTSBURGH — Yovani Gallardo gave up just two hits over 6 2⁄3 innings and surging Milwaukee dropped weary Pittsburgh.

• Marlins 4, Braves 3: MIAMI — Jose Reyes hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning, and Miami overcame an awful ninth inning to snap Atlanta’s four-game winning streak.

Following a strikeout, Reyes hit a blooper that fell in front of a diving Jason Heyward in right field, and Brantly scored without a play. The Braves rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the ninth to tie the game.
