MLB ROUNDUP \ Sunday's other games
INTERLEAGUE
Nationals 3, Yankees 2
WASHINGTON -- Ryan Zimmerman hit a game-winning, two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the ninth to lift Washington over New York. The drive to left, the rookie third baseman's 10th homer of the season, came on the 107th pitch from Chien-Ming Wang (7-3). Yankees manager Joe Torre had left his starter in because of a beleaguered bullpen that worked 12 innings over the preceding three days; Torre said before the game that closer Mariano Rivera wasn't available. Alex Rodriguez put the Yankees in position to win, giving them a 2-1 lead with his double in the eighth.
Red Sox 10, Braves 7
ATLANTA -- Pinch-hitter Mike Lowell's go-ahead two-run double and Kevin Youkilis' two-run home run highlighted Boston's six-run eighth inning. Atlanta lost its seventh straight game -- the Braves' longest in nearly 16 years. It appeared that Atlanta would end the losing streak in the seventh inning when Jeff Francoeur hit his 15th home run, a three-run shot on the first pitch from reliever Rudy Seanez (2-0) for a 5-3 lead. But once again, Atlanta's bullpen couldn't hold it.
White Sox 8, Reds 1
CINCINNATI -- Jon Garland allowed only four singles while pitching into the ninth inning, and hit the first homer by a White Sox pitcher in 35 years, as Chicago completed a three-game sweep. Garland's two-run shot in the eighth off reliever Esteban Yan was his first career homer and the first by a White Sox pitcher since Steve Kealey's on Sept. 6, 1971, against Minnesota. Alex Cintron singled home the go-ahead run, and Rob Mackowiak matched his career high with four singles. Jermaine Dye also homered.
Marlins 4, Blue Jays 1
MIAMI -- Dan Uggla had three hits and knocked in the go-ahead run to help Florida beat Roy Halladay. Halladay (8-2) lost for the first time in 12 starts. He allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings. The Marlins have won eight straight, their longest since 2004.
Mets 9, Orioles 4
NEW YORK -- David Wright hit a grand slam and drove in five runs and Tom Glavine became the first 10-game winner in the majors. Ramon Castro also homered and knocked in two runs for the Mets. Glavine (10-2) lasted six-plus innings, improving to 8-0 in his past 10 starts and earning his 285th career win.
Phillies 8, Devil Rays 5
PHILADELPHIA -- Ryan Howard homered and drove in four runs to help Philadelphia snap a six-game losing streak. David Dellucci had three hits and Chase Utley scored three runs for Philadelphia, which finished with 13 hits.
Royals 7, Astros 4
HOUSTON -- Doug Mientkiewicz hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to lift Kansas City, which blew a 4-1 lead, but rallied off Houston reliever Chad Qualls (3-2) to win for the third time in nine games. John Buck and Reggie Sanders also homered for Kansas City.
Rangers 10, Diamondbacks 7
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michael Young singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth and matched a career high with five hits, helping Texas complete a three-game sweep. Texas took a 7-6 lead into the eighth but Shawn Green's leadoff homer off Francisco Cordero tied it. In the bottom of the eighth, the Rangers got back-to-back singles from Rod Barajas and Gary Matthews Jr. against Luis Vizcaino (2-3), and Young followed with an RBI single, scoring pinch runner Gerald Laird from second without a throw.
Tigers 12, Cubs 3
CHICAGO -- Kenny Rogers won his 200th game and Detroit tied a club record with eight home runs, ruining Mark Prior's season debut for Chicago. Chris Shelton and Brandon Inge homered twice for Detroit, which hit four of its homers off Prior. Rogers (10-3) pitched eight innings, allowing two runs and four hits while striking out two.
Athletics 5, Dodgers 2
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Joe Blanton pitched into the ninth, Bobby Kielty hit a two-run triple and Oakland notched its 10th straight win. Blanton, who retired the side in order on six pitches in the eighth, left to a standing ovation after allowing consecutive singles to J.D. Drew and Matt Kemp in the ninth. Jay Payton had an RBI double and Marco Scutaro had three hits, an RBI and stole his first base of the year as the A's topped the nine-game winning streaks San Diego and Philadelphia produced this season.
Padres 7, Angels 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Cameron and Adrian Gonzalez hit solo homers off Bartolo Colon in his first start in two months for the Angels. Chan Ho Park (5-3) allowed three runs and five hits in 52/3 innings for the Padres. He struck out four and walked three.
Mariners 5, Giants 1
SEATTLE -- Adrian Beltre homered and singled in another run, and Jamie Moyer stymied Barry Bonds and the rest of the Giants. Seattle swept the three-game series by keeping Bonds homerless in 10 plate appearances following his home run Friday night. The slugger remained 37 home runs behind Hank Aaron's major league record.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Cardinals 4, Rockies 1
ST. LOUIS -- Chris Carpenter allowed one run in seven innings and Scott Rolen hit a two-run homer in the first for St. Louis. Rolen's two-run homer off Josh Fogg snapped a 1-for-18 drought against the Rockies this season, and came before a 40-minute rain delay in the second. Fogg (4-5) gave up four runs, three of them earned, on eight hits over five innings.
