NL Roundup

Cardinals 7, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Skip Schumaker hit his first career grand slam during St. Louis’ biggest inning of the season, supplying more than enough runs for right-hander Chris Carpenter to beat Cincinnati for the ninth time in a row. The Cardinals provided a lopsided start to their showdown for first place in the NL Central, trimming Cincinnati’s lead to one game. St. Louis sent 12 batters to the plate for seven runs in the fourth, giving rookie Mike Leake (7-4) his worst moments in the majors. Schumaker’s grand slam — only his 19th career homer — made it 6-0.

Giants 4, Cubs 3 (11 innings)

SAN FRANCISCO — Carlos Zambrano matched his career high with seven walks in his first start since a June 25 dugout blowup and ensuing banishment, and short-handed Chicago lost to San Francisco in 11 innings long after he left the game. Pat Burrell hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off loser Marcos Mateo (0-1), who made his major league debut after being called up earlier in the day.

AL Roundup

Red Sox 2, Yankees 1

NEW YORK — Jon Lester received key help from relievers Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon in ending his career-worst four-game skid, and Boston salvaged a series split by beating New York. Boston took the finale of the wraparound series that had four different start times because of national TV demands. The win ensured the third-place Red Sox remained six games behind AL East-leading New York, their standing when the set began.

DETROIT — Matt Joyce homered and Tampa Bay snapped its five-game losing streak with a win over Detroit. Tampa Bay got within 1 1/2 games of first-place New York, and Detroit lost for the eighth time in 10 games to stay nine behind Chicago in the AL Central. David Price (15-5) struggled with his command, walking four batters in five innings, but nine strikeouts helped him allow just two runs.

Mariners 3, Athletics 1

SEATTLE — Last-place Seattle welcomed new interim manager Daren Brown by getting its first triple play in 15 years in a win over the Athletics. Jose Lopez took a chopper by Oakland’s Mark Ellis and immediately stepped on third base for a forceout. Lopez then threw to second base for a forceout there and Chone Figgins’ throw to first baseman Casey Kotchman appeared to arrive at the same time as Ellis’ foot hit the bag, but first base umpire Cory Blaser called Ellis out.
