CINCINNATI — Carlos Gonzalez tied his career high with three of Colorado's six homers, and Troy Tulowitzki went 5 for 5 with a pair of homers Wednesday night, powering the Rockies to a 12-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Rockies hadn't hit six homers in a game since they had that many against the Marlins on July 4, 2008, according to STATS LLC. Gonzalez got Colorado's splurge going with a solo shot and a three-run drive off Pedro Villarreal (0-1), who was roughed up by one of the NL's top offenses in his first big league start. Tulowitzki tied his career high with five hits, including a two-run homer and a solo shot. Todd Helton also homered as the Rockies piled up a season-high 20 hits, the most allowed by Cincinnati since 2009. The Reds came in with the second-best earned run average in the NL. Jon Garland (4-6) gave up four runs — all in the first — and lasted six innings. The Rockies took the last two games of their series, ending a streak of six straight losses against Cincinnati. Diamondbacks 10, Cardinals 3: Paul Goldschmidt hit his second grand slam in five days for Arizona, and Wade Miley bounced back from his two worst outings of the season. Arizona has won four of five. St. Louis, with the best record in the majors, dropped back-to-back games for the first time since April 28-29. Goldschmidt became the first Arizona player with two slams on the same road trip. He hit one in a 12-4 win at the Chicago Cubs Saturday. Miley (4-5) gave up three runs and 11 hits over 6 2-3 innings. He had given up seven earned runs in each of his previous two starts. St. Louis' Joe Kelly (0-3), making his first start of the season, gave up one earned run in 5 2-3 innings. Matt Carpenter had four hits for the Cardinals and pushed his career-best hitting streak to 14 games. Braves 5, Pirates 0: Julio Teheran carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning, leading Atlanta to the win. Pinch hitter Brandon Inge singled to left with two outs in the eighth for Pittsburgh's only hit of the game. Teheran then received an ovation from Braves fans, who also cheered after the inning ended on Starling Marte's popup. Teheran (4-2) set a career high with 11 strikeouts in eight innings in the Braves' fifth straight win, including a sweep of the three-game series. David Carpenter pitched a perfect ninth. The Pirates have lost three straight and five of six. Padres 6, Dodgers 2: Jason Marquis took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Padres rebounded after dropping the first two games of the series. Phillies 6, Marlins 1: Cole Hamels had a season-high 11 strikeouts in seven dominant innings, Domonic Brown hit another homer and the Phillies completed a three-game series sweep. Mets 10, Nationals 1: Marlon Byrd maintained his mastery of Dan Haren with a pair of home runs, and the Mets snapped a four-game losing streak. Inter-League Athletics 6, Brewers 1: Bartolo Colon won his fourth straight start and Brandon Moss hit a three-run homer to power the Athletics to the victory. Blue Jays 4, Giants 0: R.A. Dickey allowed two hits in 8 1-3 innings and sparked a four-run fifth inning with an RBI double, helping Toronto to a split of the two-game series. Cubs 8, Angels 6: Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run double in the 10th inning and the Chicago Cubs overcame a pair of homers by Mark Trumbo to beat the Los Angeles Angels. — Agencies
