He had lost five straight decisions since beating Chicago on July 16. Bill Hall hit a two-run triple for Milwaukee, which was helped by Nomar Garciaparra's error. Sammy Sosa hit his 26th homer, but later struck out against Santos with the bases loaded.

Jennings (11-10) allowed three runs and seven hits, striking out six -- including Cliff Floyd four times.

Giants 5, Expos 4
SAN FRANCISCO -- J.T. Snow singled in the winning run with one out in the ninth to lead San Francisco to its sixth straight victory. Barry Bonds homered twice and Jason Schmidt pitched eight innings, but the bullpen blew his chance to become the majors' first 16-game winner.
Padres 11, Braves 6
SAN DIEGO -- Jake Peavy struck out nine in seven innings and Freddy Guzman got a hit, scored a run and had an RBI in his major league debut for San Diego. Peavy (9-3) allowed just two hits -- a second-inning single by Andruw Jones and a fourth-inning home run by Chipper Jones that extended his streak of games with home runs to five. He walked none and retired his final 10 batters. Jaret Wright (11-6) forced in a pair of runs with bases-loaded walks and didn't make it out of the first inning.
