Dodgers move in on Diamondbacks

INFIELDER Lance Berkman sprinted to home plate on a lined sacrifice fly to give Houston a dramatic win over New York, while Pete Orr got his first RBIs in months

AP , LOS ANGELES

Both crashed into the New York catcher in a play at the plate to score and put the Mets backstop out of the game with an ankle injury.

Nationals 10, Reds 6

In Washington, infielder Pete Orr picked up his first RBIs in more than 15 months as Washington beat Cincinnati.

Orr slapped a pinch-hit, two-run single into left field in the seventh inning to put Washington ahead to stay.

His single capped a four-run inning and gave the Nationals something they haven’t had since June — consecutive wins at home.

Orr has only 20 RBIs in 399 career at-bats.
