Edgar Renteria hit a Grand Slam in the seventh inning as the San Francisco Giants pulled even in the National League wild-card race with Colorado, beating the Rockies 9-5 Sunday for a three-game sweep. The Giants moved into a second-place tie in the NL West with Colorado, six games behind Los Angeles. The Rockies lost their season-high fifth in a row. Renteria homered with two outs to overcome a 5-2 deficit, connecting two pitches after Rafael Betancourt (0-1) relieved Franklin Morales. Renteria hit his eighth career grand slam and second in two years against Betancourt. Renteria also doubled in a run and matched his career high with five RBIs. Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki hit back-to-back solo homers in the fifth inning to put the Rockies ahead, but Colorado's bullpen couldn't hold a 4-1 lead. Phillies 3, Braves 2: At Philadelphia, Carlos Ruiz hit a two-run, go-ahead double in the seventh inning and Joe Blanton pitched seven strong innings to lead Philadelphia to a victory over Atlanta. Blanton (9-6) allowed one run on three hits in seven innings, making it 12 straight starts he has allowed three earned runs or less. Due to a lack of run support, though, the right-hander was just 4-3 in his previous 11 appearances. It looked like more of the same Sunday night until the seventh inning when Ruiz broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run double to left. The ball glanced off the end of the glove of Braves left fielder Garret Anderson before caroming to the wall, scoring Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz. Ruiz finished 3-for-3 with two doubles for the NL-East leading Phillies (75-53). Brewers 4, Pirates 1: At Milwaukee, shortstop Craig Counsell helped Milwaukee turn a season-high four double plays and drove in two runs as the Brewers beat Pittsburgh for the 21st straight time at home. Cardinals 2, Nationals 1: At St. Louis, Adam Wainwright earned his major league-leading 16th victory and Albert Pujols had the go-ahead hit in the sixth inning as St. Louis completed a three-game sweep of Washington. Dodgers 3, Reds 2, 12 innings: At Cincinnati, Matt Kemp homered for Los Angeles' first run, then hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning to lift Los Angeles over Cincinnati. Mets 4, Cubs 1: At Chicago, Nelson Figueroa struck out a career-high 10 batters and had an RBI single to lead New York over Chicago. Diamondbacks 4, Astros 3: At Phoenix, reliever Chad Qualls dislocated his left kneecap when he was hit by Jason Michaels' line drive for the final out as Arizona defeated Houston to complete a three-game sweep. Marlins 6, Padres 4: At Miami, John Baker and Cody Ross each drove in two runs, leading Sean West and Florida over San Diego to end a three
