Reds 13, Diamondbacks 6
At Cincinnati, Wily Mo Pena hit a pair of three-run homers to set a career high with six RBIs.
Pena and Edwin Encarnacion hit three-run homers off Brad Halsey (8-10) in a seven-run fourth, and Austin Kearns, Felipe Lopez and Sean Casey also homered for Cincinnati.
Eric Milton (7-12) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings.
Halsey (8-10) gave up seven runs and eight hits in four innings, losing his third straight start after going 4-0 in his previous six.
Phillies 4, Pirates 3
In Philadelphia, Bobby Abreu hit a tiebreaking double off Rick White (3-6) in the seventh inning that scored Jason Michaels, who made a crashing, sweeping slide around catcher Ryan Doumit.
Ryan Madson (6-4) struck out two and allowed no hits in 1 2-3 scoreless innings, and Billy Wagner worked the ninth for his 30th save.
Giants 4, Cardinals 2
At St. Louis, Jason Schmidt (10-6) allowed four hits in seven shutout innings to win his third straight decision, and San Francisco capitalized on four errors.
Scott Seabol's bases-empty, two-out error at third base in the fourth led to three runs, hours after the Cardinals learned that All-Star third baseman Scott Rolen will have shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the season.
Armando Benitez pitched the ninth and allowed pinch-hitter Albert Pujols' RBI single before striking out So Taguchi with runners on first and second to earn his fifth save, and first since April 23. It was Benitez's second appearance after he missed nearly four months with an injured right hamstring.
Jeff Suppan (12-9) allowed four runs -- one earned -- and seven hits in six innings.
Rockies 9, Cubs 7
At Denver, Matt Holliday and Dustan Mohr hit two-run homers, and Garrett Atkins had three hits, including a solo homer. Pinch-hitter Jorge Piedra added a three-run drive in the eighth.
Sunny Kim (2-2) threw two scoreless innings to earn his first win for Colorado.
Greg Maddux (10-10) allowed six runs and eight hits -- including three homers -- in six innings and failed to get his 316th win. He lost for the first time in six career decisions at Coors Field.
Braves 6, Padres 2
At Atlanta, Atlanta scored five runs in the eighth inning, helped by two San Diego errors, and rallied to beat the Padres and salvage a win in the three-game series.
The Padres took a 2-1 lead on pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney's two-run single off John Smoltz in the seventh inning, but Akinori Otsuka (1-5) and the San Diego bullpen, hurt by the errors, couldn't hold the lead in the eighth.
Jorge Sosa (8-2) earned the win in relief.
