Nationals end losing streak
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 04 - 2015

ATLANTA — Dan Uggla hit a towering three-run homer in the ninth inning against his former team to give the Nationals a dramatic 13-12 win over the Atlanta Braves, ending Washington's six-game losing streak in the National Legue Tuesday.
The Nationals, who trailed 9-1 after two innings and 10-2 after four, completed their biggest comeback win in nearly 12 years.
Uggla, who made the club as a non-roster invitee in the spring, went 3-for-4 with five RBIs against the Braves, the club that released him last June.
The homer, his first of the season, came against Braves closer Jason Grilli (0-1), who was trying to earn his eighth save.
Reds 4, Brewers 2: Brandon Phillips hit a two-run homer and Johnny Cueto pitched eight solid innings, lifting Cincinnati to a 4-2 victory over Milwaukee.
Cincinnati homered three times off Brewers starter Kyle Lohse (1-4), including solo shots by Joey Votto and Marlon Byrd.
Cubs 6, Pirates 2: Left-hander Travis Wood allowed just two runs in seven innings, and received early offensive support from his Chicago teammates in a 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs won their third straight and second in a row over the Pirates in a three-game series.
Marlins 4, Mets 3: Michael Morse snapped an eighth-inning tie with an RBI single as Miami defeated New York 4-3. The Marlins beat the NL East-leading Mets for the first time in six meetings this season.
Mets reliever Carlos Torres (1-1) helped Miami by walking two batters in the eighth. Morse then lined a one-out single to center for his first RBI in eight games.
Cardinals 11, Phillies 5: Every St Louis starter either drove in a run or scored one as the Cards outscored the Philadelphia Phillies 11-5 at Busch Stadium.
First baseman Matt Adams led the 15-hit onslaught, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. Left fielder Matt Holliday also banged out three hits and drove in a run.
Center fielder Jon Jay, who moved from the seventh spot to the leadoff position, collected a pair of run-scoring singles.
Other results: Diamondbacks 12, Rockies 5; Giants 2, Dodgers 1.
American League
Blue Jays 11, Red Sox 8: Toronto overcame an early four-run deficit, stroked 17 hits and topped Boston 11-8 at Fenway Park.
After falling behind 4-0 after two innings, the Jays knocked Clay Buchholz out with a five-run third and never trailed.
Jose Bautista drove in three runs, one with his fifth homer of the season. Josh Donaldson had three hits, including a solo homer, and two RBIs.
Twins 3, Tigers 2: Minnesota right-hander Mike Pelfrey allowed two runs on three hits in seven strong innings of work as the Twins won 3-2 against Detroit at Target Field.
Pelfrey improved to 2-0 in four starts this season and lowered his ERA to 2.25 in the process.
Mariners 2, Rangers 1: Seattle starting pitcher J.A. Happ turned in his most dominating performance of the season and designated hitter Nelson Cruz continued to torture his former club in the Mariners' 2-1 victory over Texas.
Seattle (9-11) also clinched the series win with the finale of the three-game set coming on Wednesday at Globe Life Park.
Royals 11, Indians 5: Kendrys Morales' three-run home run capped a six-run seventh-inning rally that lifted Kansas City past Cleveland 11-6.
Alex Gordon also homered for the Royals, who battered five Cleveland pitchers for 18 hits. The reeling Indians lost their fourth in a row and fell for the 12th time in 16 games. Their record fell to 6-13, the worst in the American League.
Other results: Yankees 4, Rays 2; Athletics 6, Angels 2.
The game between Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles has been postponed.
