Trachsel (5-3) improved to 3-0 with a 1.36 ERA in May. He struck out six and walked four in 6 2-3 innings. Mike Stanton and John Franco pitched 2 1-3 innings of hitless relief.
Milton (5-1) struck out a season-high seven.
Expos 3, Braves 1
In Montreal, Tony Batista, Juan Rivera and Endy Chavez homered, and Tomo Ohka pitched seven strong innings to help Montreal beat Atlanta and end a five-game losing streak.
Montreal, still an NL-worst 15-30, improved to 6-5 at Olympic Stadium. The Expos have an 8-14 home record overall, including just two wins in 11 games in Puerto Rico.
The Expos broke through with a pair of solo homers off Horacio Ramirez (2-4) in the sixth.
Ohka (2-5) allowed one unearned run while scattering six hits in seven innings. He struck out four and walked two.
Dodgers 5, Brewers 3
In Milwaukee, Alex Cora ignited one big inning with his bat and snuffed another with his glove as Los Angeles beat Milwaukee.
Cora's single sparked a four-run third inning for Los Angeles and his diving grab with the bases loaded ended Milwaukee's threat in the fifth as the Dodgers won for just the second time in 11 games.
Eric Gagne pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save, his 74tth in a row but first since May 12.
In four innings, the Brewers' Victor Santos (2-1) gave up four runs on four hits -- all in the third inning
Jose Lima (3-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win although he allowed Spivey's RBI single in the sixth that made it 4-3.
Giants 4, Diamondbacks 1
In San Francisco, Barry Bonds hit his first home run in nearly a month and Jason Schmidt (5-2) won his fifth straight decision as San Francisco downed Arizona.
Edgardo Alfonzo also homered and singled twice for the Giants, who opened a six-game homestand against division rivals Arizona and Colorado by winning their season-high fourth straight.
Bonds connected for his 11th home run this year and 669th of his career, hitting a 2-1 pitch from Casey Fossum (0-2) over the wall in center field, where a fan stuck his glove out trying to get the ball.
Center fielder Steve Finley then complained of interference.
The 39-year-old Bonds, who had not homered since April 29 against Florida, is third on the career home run list behind Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714).
