Feliz's four hits lead Giants to 9-5 win

The Cubs lost in extra innings while the Astros were blanked.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants showed they can win even the biggest games without Barry Bonds' bat.
Pedro Feliz hit a tiebreaking grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning for his fourth hit, and the Giants helped their playoff chances Saturday with a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
San Francisco moved within 11/2 games of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West and a half-game behind Chicago in the wild-card race. The Dodgers and Giants play four more times, including the final three games of the season next weekend at Dodger Stadium.
Feliz sent an 0-1 pitch from Yhency Brazoban (3-1) over the left-field wall for his second career slam and 21st homer of the year. He also hit a grand slam June 11, 2003, at Chicago.
Scott Eyre (2-2) pitched the eighth for the win and Ray Durham homered and hit an RBI double for San Francisco, which lost the opener of this crucial three-game series 3-2 Friday night.
Bonds matched his career high with five walks, including three intentional.
Milton Bradley's solo homer in the sixth made it 5-5. The Dodgers played without first baseman Shawn Green, who spent the day observing the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur.

Mets 4, Cubs 3, 11 innings
NEW YORK -- Victor Diaz hit a tying, three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, and Craig Brazell's first major league home run in the 11th gave New York a stunning victory over Chicago.
Brazell, who entered in the 11th as part of a double switch, led off the bottom half and lined a 1-2 pitch from Kent Mercker (3-1) over the right-field wall, ending Chicago's five-game winning streak.
The Cubs appeared to be cruising to their 14th victory in 17 games behind 72/3 shutout innings from Mark Prior and a two-run homer by Todd Walker. But Diaz hit his second career homer off closer LaTroy Hawkins to tie it at 3.
Sammy Sosa, in a 5-for-38 slump, struck out in his first four at-bats and grounded into a double play. He left eight runners on base -- five in scoring position.

MILWAUKEE -- Wes Obermueller pitched a six-hitter for his first career shutout and Milwaukee damaged Houston's playoff chances.
The Astros remained 21/2 games behind Chicago in the NL wild-card race, wasting a great opportunity to gain ground.
Russell Branyan homered, doubled and drove in three runs. Keith Ginter also connected for the Brewers, who snapped a three-game skid.
Obermueller (6-8) struck out three, walked one and retired his final 13 batters in his first career complete game. He also had two singles and scored a run.
Pete Munro (4-7) gave up three runs -- two earned -- and five hits in four innings.
