MIAMI: The Florida Marlins were gifted a 5-4 win over Los Angeles in the National League Monday when the Dodgers committed two errors with two outs in the ninth. The comeback was helped along by shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who was mired in a 2-for-27 slump and was left out of the starting lineup. He came in as a pinch hitter with two outs in the ninth and Florida trailing 4-3, and his single put runners at first and third. Scott Cousins grounder off Jonathan Broxton (1-1) scooted under the glove of shortstop Jamey Carroll for an error to score the tying run. Chris Coghlan was then intentionally walked to load the bases, and Omar Infante lined a pitch. L.A. left fielder Jerry Sands started in, braked and leaped, and the ball sailed over his glove. Florida's Brian Sanches (3-0) extended his scoreless streak to start the season to 13 2-3 innings with a perfect ninth. Reds 9, Brewers 5: In Milwaukee, Cincinnati piled on six runs in the third inning to overwhelm Milwaukee. Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer for the Reds, who sent 11 batters to the plate in the third, prematurely ending the night for Brewers starter Chris Narveson (1-1), who had the shortest start of his career. Bruce homered and Brandon Phillips, Jonny Gomes, Ryan Hanigan and even pitcher Bronson Arroyo drove in a run each to give Cincinnati a 7-0 lead. Phillips added a two-run single in the ninth. Arroyo (3-2) pitched effectively into the seventh. Rockies 5, Cubs 3: In Chicago, the home team's shortstop Starlin Castro committed three errors in the second inning alone as Colorado notched a win. Diamondbacks 4, Phillies 0: In Phoenix, new father Ian Kennedy threw a complete game shutout, outpitching Cliff Lee and steering Arizona past Philadelphia. Pirates 4, Nationals 2: In Pittsburgh, Brandon Wood's two-run double in his first game for Pittsburgh was part of a four-run fourth inning that helped the Pirates defeat Washington. Padres 5, Braves 3, 13 innings: In San Diego, Ryan Ludwick's second homer of the night, a 2-run shot with one out in the 13th inning, lifted San Diego over Atlanta. Blue Jays beat Rangers Corey Patterson and Jose Bautista homered on consecutive pitches in the fifth inning to help power the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-4 win over the Texas Rangers in the American League Monday. Texas pitcher Colby Lewis (1-3) gave up both those shots, and another two-run homer in the same inning by Juan Rivera. He conceded six runs and walked four in five innings. Toronto pitcher Kyle Drabek (2-0) finally got credit for a win, having got no-decisions in three consecutive starts that the Blue Jays won after he had pitched into at least the sixth. He gave up three runs in six innings. Texas designated hitter Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI double that made it 6-3 in the sixth. Angels 5, Athletics 0: In Anaheim, Los Angeles pitcher Jered Weaver struck out 10 and won his sixth straight start, shutting out Oakland. Weaver pitched his second straight complete game to help Los Angeles snap a four-game losing streak. He is the first pitcher in the majors with six victories in his team's first 23 games since Randy Johnson did it with the 2002 Arizona Diamondbacks. White Sox 2, Yankees 0: In New York, Phil Humber held the Yankees hitless until the seventh, guiding Chicago to an impressive win.
