Young, Howard lift Phillies over Marlins

MIAMI — Delmon Young homered and Ryan Howard added three hits and three RBIs to help carry the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the Miami Marlins Tuesday.
Tyler Cloyd (1-0) allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings after being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier in the day. Miami's Jose Fernandez went five innings, allowing one run and five hits. He walked one and struck out two.
Reds 4, Mets 0: Mike Leake pitched three-hit ball for seven sharp innings and Cincinnati took advantage of Mets third baseman David Wright's early error.
Devin Mesoraco homered as the Reds won for the ninth time in 11 games. They scored three times in the first inning after Wright let a bases-loaded, two-out grounder skip through his legs.
Leake (4-2) struck out four, walked two and became the latest pitcher to shut down the Mets at Citi Field. New York has lost 10 of 12 at home, rarely scoring many runs. Leake escaped his biggest jam by retiring slumping Ike Davis on a grounder with runners on second and third to end the fourth.
Pirates 5, Cubs 4: Travis Snider hit a pinch-hit grand slam during a five-run sixth and Pittsburgh spoiled Matt Garza's strong return to the mound for the Cubs.
Garza allowed one hit over five shutout innings in his first outing in 10 months, but the Pirates pounced on a Chicago bullpen that is 10th in the National League in ERA by sending 11 men to the plate in the sixth.
Snider's first career home run with the bases loaded was the first Pirates pinch-hit grand slam in five years.
Brewers 5, Dodgers 2: Carlos Gomez hit a go-ahead two-run double, Jonathan Lucroy had three hits and an RBI and five Milwaukee relievers combined for five scoreless innings to beat Los Angeles.
Mike Fiers (1-2), Michael Gonzalez, John Axford, Brandon Kintzler and Jim Henderson pitched Milwaukee to only its fourth victory in its last 19 games by allowing a total of just four singles. Henderson threw the ninth for his ninth save, striking out pinch-hitter Scott Van Slyke with runners on first and second.
Rockies 5, Diamondbacks 4, 10 innings: Wilin Rosario drove in Carlos Gonzalez with a one-out single in the 10th inning to lift Colorado after squandering a late four-run lead.
Gonzalez hit a double and reliever Matt Reynolds (0-2) intentionally walked Troy Tulowitzki to get to Rosario, who came through with a liner to right on the first pitch.
Rosario lifted his hands in the air after touching first base and was soon mobbed by teammates.
Tulowitzki hit a solo homer and had a double to raise his average to .406 at Coors Field this season.
Cardinals 10, Padres 2: Daniel Descalso hit his first career grand slam and had a career-high five RBIs, and Adam Wainwright won for the first time at Petco Park as the Cardinals beat the Padres.
Descalso lined a 1-2 pitch from Anthony Bass into the Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Deck in right-center with one out in the eighth, his second homer of the season. Jon Jay was intentionally walked ahead of him.
Wainwright (6-3) held San Diego to one run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out six and walked one.
Giants 4, Nationals 2: Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning after Gregor Blanco's tying triple in the ninth, and the Giants rallied past the Nationals.
Inter League
Braves 5, Twins 4: Evan Gattis hit a two-out, pinch-hit homer in the ninth to force extra innings and Freddie Freeman won it for host Atlanta in the 10th.

Freeman blooped a two-out single off Brian Duensing to bring home Jason Heyward, handing the Twins their seventh straight loss. — Agencies
