winning homer with help from video replay, giving the Atlanta Braves a stunning 7-6 victory over the Florida Marlins Sunday. It was the first time a game ended using a video review. Pinch-hitter Matt Diaz tied it with a two-run homer off Leo Nunez (4-3) after Brooks Conrad led off the ninth with a walk. Nunez retired the next two hitters, then McCann drove a 1-2 pitch toward the wall in right. The ball bounced back onto the field, and the umpires initially ruled it was still in play. McCann stopped at second and began arguing that he should have more than a double. The umpires conferred, then headed toward the Florida dugout to look at a replay which clearly showed the ball struck the top of the wall – right over McCann's name on an auxiliary scoreboard – and went over. It ricocheted back onto the field off a back wall. Crew chief Tim McClelland returned to the field, pointed toward McCann with a slight grin – and gave the universal signal for homer. The review took a relatively quick 1 minute, 26 seconds. Reds 7, Cubs 5: At Cincinnati, Kosuke Fukudome's homer tied it in the top of the eighth, but his throwing error in the bottom half of the inning helped Cincinnati rally for a win that completed its season-long domination of Chicago. The Reds took a five-game lead in the National League Central, their biggest edge since early in the 2002 season, when second-place St. Louis lost to Washington 4-2. Fukudome's two-run homer off Arthur Rhodes tied it at 5. His throw from right field skipped into a photographers' booth behind third base in the bottom of the inning, letting in the go-ahead run off Sean Marshall (6-5). Phillies 5, Padres 0: At San Diego, Cole Hamels shut down his hometown team on four singles in eight innings to win for the first time in nine starts, leading Philadelphia to a three-game sweep of bumbling NL West-leading San Diego. The Padres have lost four straight games for the first time this season and were swept for just the second time. The Padres, who led the majors in fielding percentage (.989) coming in, committed a season-high four errors. After being swept at home in four games by Houston, the wild card-leading Phillies had their usual success at Petco Park. They won their seventh straight game at the downtown ballpark, where they're 18-4 since it opened in 2004. Mike Sweeney, starting in place of slumping Ryan Howard against left-hander Clayton Richard, and Jayson Werth homered. Nationals 4, Cardinals 2: At Washington, Adam Wainwright struggled for five innings and St. Louis lost again, falling to Washington and dropping five games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. Giants 9, Diamondbacks 7: At San Francisco, Jose Guillen hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning as San Francisco beat Arizona. Brewers 8, Pirates 4: At Milwaukee, Trevor Hoffman earned his 599th career save and Ryan Braun homered as Milwaukee completed a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh. The all-time saves leader entered the game with one out in the ninth and two runners on base, and retired both batters he faced to convert his eighth save in 13 chances this year. Dave Bush (7-11) got the win. The Pirates have lost 13 consecutive road games. Rockies 10, Dodgers 5: At Denver, Dexter Fowler hit two triples to set a Colorado record and had three RBIs, and Carlos Gonzalez homered twice and drove in four runs in a win over Los Angeles. Mets 5, Astros 1: At New York, R.A. Dickey flustered the Astros with knuckleballs and foiled them with his bat, leading the New York Mets over Houston.
