Carlos Lee had three hits, including his first homer since April 22, and three RBIs to back another solid outing by Bud Norris, and the Houston Astros beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3 Wednesday. Lee's home run was a solo shot to left-center field in the seventh inning that put Houston up 8-1. His third homer of the season came just moments after he narrowly avoided being hit by a foul ball from J.D. Martinez while waiting in the on-deck circle. Padres 4, Dodgers 2: Chase Headley was more pleased with a two-run double against left-hander Chris Capuano than he was with surpassing his home run total from last season. Headley homered, doubled and drove in three runs, and the last-place San Diego Padres rallied to beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Nationals 7, Pirates 4: Adam LaRoche broke open a tight game with a three-run double for his 1,000th career hit after homering for No. 999, and Gio Gonzalez took over the NL strikeout lead from teammate Stephen Strasburg by fanning 10 in seven innings, leading the Washington Nationals past the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reds 6, Mets 3: Todd Frazier homered twice, Brandon Phillips hit a tying single off Jon Rauch in the eighth and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets. Pinch-hitter Jay Bruce drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly one out after the Reds put together three straight hits off Rauch (3-2), ending with Phillips' single. Marlins 8, Braves 4: Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run homer and possibly saved two runs with a diving catch and the Miami Marlins beat the Braves, adding another win to their May record. Miami is 12-3 this month after a slow 8-14 start in April. Phillies 9, Cubs 2: Carlos Ruiz hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies used Hector Luna's first career grand slam to pull away for a victory over the Chicago Cubs. Kyle Kendrick pitched six sparkling innings in his first start in 12 days. Rockies 6, D'Backs 1: Jamie Moyer handcuffed the Arizona Diamondbacks at the plate and in the field, pitching neatly into the seventh and driving in two runs with an infield single in Colorado's win. Moyer legged out a base hit in the fourth inning when he dribbled a 2-2 fastball in between lefty Patrick Corbin and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
