Jason Jennings (2-4) gave up three runs in the seventh inning for his fourth loss in five starts.

Cardinals 1, Mets 0

At St. Louis, Mark Mulder threw 8 1-3 scoreless innings and Jason Isringhausen worked out of a jam in the ninth to preserve St. Louis' victory over Steve Trachsel and New York.

Mulder (5-1) won his third straight start and had two of the Cardinals' four hits in seven innings against Trachsel (2-4), with singles in the fifth and seventh. Scott Rolen doubled in a run in the sixth inning.

Brewers 8, Phillies 7

At Milwaukee, Geoff Jenkins' RBI single with two outs in the ninth lifted Milwaukee past Philadelphia for its third straight walk-off victory.

The Brewers became the first team since the 2004 Detroit Tigers to have three straight walk-off wins.

Arthur Rhodes (0-1) walked pinch hitter Jeff Cirillo to start the ninth, and Brady Clark's sacrifice bunt moved him to second. Rickie Weeks struck out, bringing up Bill Hall. Hall was intentionally walked and Jenkins hit the 0-1 pitch over center fielder Shane Victorino's head off the base of the wall.

Padres 14, Diamondbacks 10

At Phoenix, Brian Giles drove in a career-high seven runs and San Diego beat Arizona to reclaim first place in the NL West.

Cubs 5, Nationals 0

At Chicago, Sean Marshall and three relievers combined on a one-hitter, Todd Walker drove in two runs and Chicago beat Washington for its second straight shutout victory.

Marshall (3-1) retired the first 10 batters and had a no-hitter going until Alfonso Soriano led off the sixth with a single to left. Marshall walked four and struck out six in six innings.
