Dunn's 3-run homer spills Cards

The Cubs' Greg Maddux blanked the Brewers.
CINCINNATI -- Adam Dunn hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Cincinnati Reds cooled off the St. Louis Cardinals with a 7-5 win Saturday.
St. Louis, which had overcome a 4-0 deficit to tie the game, had won 10 of its previous 11 games.
Barry Larkin and Wily Mo Pena also homered for the Reds, just 2-7 against St. Louis this season.
Todd Jones (8-2) allowed one run and three hits in 11/3 innings, and Danny Graves pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 34th save.
After Albert Pujols tied the score 4-all in the top of the eighth against Jones with his 24th homer, Julian Tavarez (2-3) couldn't hold the lead in the bottom half. Ryan Freel was hit by a pitch, Steve Kline walked Larkin and Dunn followed with his 26th homer.
Pujols had an RBI single off Graves in the ninth.
Cincinnati starter Cory Lidle allowed three runs and six hits in 61/3 innings, while the Cardinals' Jason Marquis gave up four runs and nine hits in five innings.

Cubs 5, Brewers 0
CHICAGO -- Greg Maddux must like July 17.
Maddux pitched a six-hitter for his first complete game in exactly one year and his first shutout in precisely three years, earning his 297th win.
Sammy Sosa hit his 556th homer and Moises Alou also homered for the Cubs.
Maddux (8-7) got his 35th shutout, his first since a six-hitter against Tampa Bay on July 17, 2001. The 38-year-old right-hander pitched his 104th complete game, his first since an eight-hitter against the New York Mets last year -- also on July 17. Maddux retired eight of his first nine batters and struck out the side in the eighth.
Ben Sheets (9-6), who entered with 16 scoreless innings and wins in three straight starts, gave up two runs and six hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts.
Sosa hit his 17th homer of the season in the first, a drive against a wind blowing in at 15 mph. Alou added his 20th in the fourth.

Padres 7, Astros 4
HOUSTON -- Phil Garner still is looking for his first win as manager of the Houston Astros.
Mark Loretta hit a two-run homer to spark a five-run fifth inning and David Wells won his third straight decision.
Garner replaced Jimy Williams on Wednesday, the day after Houston hosted the All-Star game, and has lost his first two games with Houston. The Astros (44-46) have dropped four straight and eight of 10, falling two games below .500 for the first time since they were 0-2 on April 6. They remained a season-high 12 games behind NL Central-leading St. Louis.
Wells (5-5) gave up three runs and seven hits in 51/3 innings, and Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth for his 24th save in 27 chances.

Braves 6, Expos 2
ATLANTA -- Marcus Giles hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Russ Ortiz continued his domination of the Expos.
J.D. Drew and Adam LaRoche had solo shots for the Braves, who won for the 14th time in 18 games and stayed one game behind Philadelphia in the NL East.

Giants 4, Rockies 0
DENVER -- Jason Schmidt allowed four hits in eight innings for his 12th straight win, pitching San Francisc past Colorado in the 26th shutout in Coors Field history.
The Giants managed just three hits, but Barry Bonds had a two-run double in the eighth after being walked twice.
That was more than enough for Schmidt (12-2), who struck out eight and walked two in combining with Jim Brower and Scott Eyre on a four-hitter -- the second shutout at Coors Field this season. Three Boston pitchers did it in an 11-0 victory on June 17.
