BOSTON -- Raul Mondesi hit a bases-loaded triple to cap a five-run first inning as New York snapped a three-game losing streak and regained first place in the AL East. David Wells (6-1) scattered nine hits and a walk over 62/3 innings, allowing one run and striking out four. Seven of the hits against him came with two outs, and the Red Sox stranded 10 in the game. Jorge Posada reached base five times -- two hits, two walks and an error -- for the Yankees. Casey Fossum (4-2) gave up five runs on six hits and two walks, striking out four in six innings. All the damage came in the first before he settled down and retired 16 of the next 18 batters.

ST. LOUIS -- Matt Morris threw a four-hitter and Albert Pujols homered for St. Louis, which is 11-2 against Chicago at Busch Stadium the last two years. Pujols, now with 11 homers, was 5-for-14 in the series with four RBIs. The other run scored on a double play ball in the third inning. Morris (5-3) struck out eight and walked none for his fourth career shutout and first since May 13, 2002.
Brewers 6, Padres 5
MILWAUKEE -- Matt Kinney's pitching and Geoff Jenkins' three-run homer helped Milwaukee past San Diego. The Padres scored three runs in the ninth inning on Miguel Ojeda's two-run double and Dave Hansen's RBI single, but Mike DeJean struck out Ramon Vazquez with the bases loaded for his eighth.
Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3
PHOENIX -- Tim Worrell walked Rod Barajas with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning. Benito Santiago and J.T. Snow hit solo homers off Curt Schilling for the Giants, who lost for the eighth time in 10 games. Worrell (1-2) walked Luis Gonzalez to start the ninth. David Dellucci put down a bunt, and first baseman Snow's rare throwing error pulled shortstop Rich Aurilia off second base to put runners at first and second. Two outs later, Steve Finley was walked intentionally to load the bases for Barajas, who walked on a 3-2 pitch.
