Even Pedro Martinez is beating the New York Yankees.
Martinez dominated for eight innings, Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran homered and the Mets hit four sacrifice flies in a 6-4 Subway Series victory Friday.
Ramon Castro, Jose Reyes and Mike Cameron set a National League record by hitting three sacrifice flies in the second inning, a rally fueled by a pair of errors. Reyes added another sacrifice fly in the ninth.
Mike Mussina (8-5) failed to revive the on-and-off Yankees, who have lost four of five after starting their 13-game homestand with six straight wins.
After going 0-3 in his previous six starts against the Yankees, Martinez (8-2) was greeted by a "Still Your Daddy!!" sign hanging from the second deck on the third-base side, a reminder of his frustrations against New York while pitching for the Boston Red Sox last year.
White Sox 12, Cubs 2
At Chicago, Freddy Garcia pitched seven strong innings, A.J. Pierzynski and Joe Crede each homered and drove in three runs and the White Sox won their eighth straight.
Playing before their largest home crowd of the season -- 39,610 -- the White Sox got off to a quick start on Frank Thomas' solo homer in the first inning -- tying him with Luke Appling for the team record in career runs scored with 1,319.
Garcia (7-3) allowed three hits, struck out eight and walked one before Neil Cotts took over in the eighth. Cubs starter Sergio Mitre (2-3) allowed seven runs on seven hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Braves 7, Orioles 5
At Atlanta, Marcus Giles and Andruw Jones hit first-inning home runs and the Braves knocked the Orioles out of first place in the AL East.
The Braves led 7-1 after three innings before Baltimore closed the gap with homers by Larry Bigbie and Brian Roberts.
The Orioles had been in sole possession of first place in the AL East for 62 consecutive days since April 23. But with Boston's win, the Red Sox moved a half-game ahead.
Chris Reitsma got four outs for his sixth save in eight chances. Atlanta's Kyle Davies (3-2) outpitched Baltimore's Hayden Penn (2-1) in a matchup of rookies.
Nationals 3, Blue Jays 0
At Washington, Esteban Loaiza hit a two-run double and pitched six shutout innings for the Nationals in a game attended by President Bush.
The win was the Nationals' 11th straight at home.
Loaiza (3-5) allowed six hits, walked one and struck out five, combining with three relievers on the club's fourth shutout of the season. Chad Cordero worked the ninth for his major league-leading 24th save.
Josh Towers (5-7) lost his sixth straight decision.
Brad Wilkerson homered for the Nationals, whose 25 home victories are the most in the NL. Washington won for the 13th time in 14 games at RFK Stadium and improved to 2-0 with the president in attendance.
Marlins 7, Devil Rays 4
At St. Petersburg, Florida, Juan Pierre tripled with the bases loaded in a four-run eighth inning that carried Florida.
Al Leiter took a three-hitter into the seventh inning, and reliever Guillermo Mota (1-1) worked two-thirds of an inning and got the win, despite allowing a run-scoring single that gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead.
The Marlins loaded the bases in the eighth on Paul Lo Duca's one-out double off Doug Waechter (3-5) and two walks. Pierre then tripled off Lance Carter.
Todd Jones worked the ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances.
