At St. Louis, Cincinnati starter Aaron Harang allowed four hits in seven-plus innings and drove in his fourth career run.
Harang (2-1) allowed four hits with four strikeouts and one walk to the only batter he faced in the eighth. Plus, he got the only RBI off NL Cy Young winner Chris Carpenter on a fifth-inning bloop single that fell just in front of center fielder Jim Edmonds.
Carpenter (1-1) was almost as stingy, allowing one run on four hits in eight innings. He struck out six, getting Adam Dunn three times, and walked three, while holding the Reds to one hit in 12 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
David Weathers pitched the ninth for his third save in three chances.
Mets 4, Brewers 3

The Mets won their seventh straight, their longest winning streak since September 2002. New York is 8-1 for the first time since 1985.
Billy Wagner pitched a perfect ninth for this third save.
Xavier Nady homered after Chris Capuano (1-2) retired the first five New York hitters.

Matt Holliday hit a three-run double in the ninth off Julio Santana, and Miguel Ojeda hit a two-out RBI single off Tom Gordon. Left fielder Shane Victorino threw to third, and David Bell tagged Jason Smith, who was called out by umpire Mike Everitt on a close play. Gordon got his third save in as many chances.
Zach Day (1-1) gave up five runs and seven hits in 2 2-3 innings.
Diamondbacks 5, Astros 1
