NATIONAL LEAGUE
With commissioner Bud Selig in attendance, Barry Bonds went 0-for-4 and remained two home runs behind Hank Aaron as San Francisco beat Milwaukee 8-4 on Friday night.
Bonds started the series opener in the city where Aaron began and ended his career -- and on the 31st anniversary of Aaron's final home run. He hit No. 755 on July 20, 1976, at now-demolished County Stadium.
Bonds was booed lustily by the sellout crowd each time he stepped into the batter's box. The closest he came to a homer was a deep drive to center that was caught in the seventh.
Guillermo Rodriguez hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh for San Francisco, which rallied with three straight walks against Carlos Villanueva (6-2) to win for only the second time in nine games. Rodriguez also had an RBI single in the fourth.
Noah Lowry (10-7) allowed five hits and four runs in six innings.
Astros 2, Pirates 1
At Pittsburgh, Carlos Lee's two-run homer in the first inning helped Houston's Roy Oswalt bounce back from the worst start of his career.
The Pirates' seventh straight loss dropped them into last place in the NL Central for the first time this season.
Marlins 10, Reds 2
At Miami, Florida's Scott Olsen won in his first start after a two-game suspension for insubordination and conduct detrimental to the team.
Olsen (8-7) limited the Reds to four hits and two solo homers.
Cubs 6, Diamondbacks 2
At Chicago, Aramis Ramirez homered and had four RBIs and Jacque Jones had two run-scoring singles for Chicago.
Jason Marquis (7-5) allowed four hits over seven innings, including Chris Young's 15th homer, to get the victory and run Chicago's record to 7-1 since the All-Star break.
Rockies 3, Nationals 1
At Washington, Aaron Cook had a career-high eight strikeouts in seven shutout innings for Colorado.
Cook entered the game with the lowest strikeouts-per-nine-innings ratio in the major leagues (2.82). He allowed four hits as the Rockies won for the 10th time in 14 games.
Cardinals 4, Braves 2
At Atlanta, Juan Encarnacion drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth and added a sacrifice fly in the ninth to back seven strong innings from St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright.
Winning for the fourth time in five starts, Wainwright (9-7) struck out seven, walked one and allowed six hits.
Mets 4, Dodgers 1
At Los Angeles, Jose Reyes scored the tiebreaking run for New York in the eighth inning on a throwing error by reliever Roberto Hernandez (0-1) and Carlos Beltran followed with a two-run homer.
Oliver Perez (9-6) allowed a run and six hits over seven innings in his second start since coming off the disabled list.
Phillies 7, Padres 3
At San Diego, Adam Eaton hit an RBI single and beat his old team, pitching Philadelphia to the win in his first start at Petco Park since the Padres traded him to Texas on Jan. 4 last year.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Josh Beckett had 10 strikeouts and tied for the major league lead with his 13th win as Boston snapped a three-game losing streak with a 10-3 victory over Chicago on Friday night.

Royals 10, Tigers 2

At New York, Edwin Jackson won on the road for the first time since 2003 and B.J. Upton hit two homers for Tampa Bay.
Dioner Navarro hit his first grand slam for the Devil Rays, who beat Mike Mussina for the first time in eight starts at Yankee Stadium.
Twins 7, Angels 5
At Minneapolis, Justin Morneau homered and drove in three runs as Minnesota beat Los Angeles' John Lackey.
After scoring only five runs during a three-game sweep by Detroit this week, the Twins got three in the first and four in the third against Lackey (12-6).
Indians 3, Rangers 2
At Texas, Fausto Carmona allowed three hits over eight shutout innings and Cleveland survived a shaky ninth.

Bedard also increased his major league-leading strikeout total to 167.
Spain are the favorites to win the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, but star player Aitana Bonmati’s illness ahead of the tournament raises another question mark around a side which, despite their obvious quality, are not unstoppable. Having claimed the last two Ballon d’Or awards, Barcelona midfielder Bonmati is the game’s biggest star at present, so her absence in the final days before the start of Euro 2025 is a major setback. The 27-year-old came down with a fever in training last week, and was subsequently hospitalized and diagnosed with viral meningitis. Bonmati was discharged on Sunday and joined up with
HSIEH ADVANCES: In the women’s doubles, Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei was to play in the second round last night, but Taiwan’s Ray Ho exited in the men’s doubles It is more than 10 years since Grigor Dimitrov reached his sole Wimbledon semi-final and back then it still seemed a reasonable bet that the Bulgarian once dubbed “Baby Federer” would win a Grand Slam title. There were semi-final runs at the US Open and Australian Open after that, but it has never quite happened and despite him still being ranked No. 21, it most likely never will. Dimitrov, 34, remains one of the most stylish players on the circuit though, with his elegant single-handed backhand and smooth all-court game a rare reminder of how tennis was before the power merchants turned
TAIWANESE WIN: Chan Hao-ching and Wu Fang-hsien and their partners won their first-round matches in the women’s doubles at the All England Lawn Tennis Club Late-night finishes and five-set matches are becoming a habit for Taylor Fritz at Wimbledon this year. On Wednesday, he wrapped up his win over Gabriel Diallo before the match was suspended — making sure the fifth-seeded American would not have to come back on court for a fourth straight day. Fritz overcame a bloodied elbow to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/0), 4-6, 6-3 on No. 1 Court a day after he finished off another five-set win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a match that was halted on Monday at about 10:15pm after Fritz forced a fifth set with Wimbledon’s 11pm curfew looming. He
Real Madrid’s FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund had taken three crazy turns during nine minutes of second-half stoppage time when Marcel Sabitzer chested the ball and sent a right-footed volley toward Thibaut Courtois’ post. Courtois leapt to his right, extended the long arm on his 2m frame and just managed to get his gloved fingertips on the ball, knocking it down. Courtois hit the ground as the ball bounded up. He looked skyward, planted his right hand to regain his balance, grabbed the ball with both hands on the second bounce and fell onto it with his chest. Sabitzer turned
