MLB ROUNDUP \ Monday’s other games

INTERLEAGUE

Mets 8, Twins 1

NEW YORK — John Maine took a three-hit shutout into the eighth inning to earn his second win in eight starts. Carlos Delgado homered and Maine (7-4) limited Minnesota to four hits over 71⁄3 innings as the Mets won for only the fourth time in 16 games this month. Delgado gave New York the lead with his 11th home run in the second inning against Carlos Silva (4-8). The Mets broke it open in the eighth when Ricky Ledee hit his first homer of the season.

Tigers 9, Nationals 8

WASHINGTON — Carlos Guillen and Marcus Thames homered, Detroit scored six times in the fifth and held on to beat Washington. Guillen drove in three runs, and Gary Sheffield had two RBIs for the Tigers, who have won three of four and are 9-4 in interleague play this season. Mike Maroth (5-2) won despite giving up five runs — four earned — and six hits over five-plus innings.

Braves 9, Red Sox 4

ATLANTA — Brian McCann homered and drove in four runs off Curt Schilling, who endured his first strikeout-free start since 1993 in Atlanta’s victory over Boston. Schilling was rocked for 10 hits and six runs in 41⁄3 innings, his second-shortest outing of the season. The 40-year-old right-hander failed to strike out anyone — the first time that’s happened since July 1, 1993. Coco Crisp homered twice for the Red Sox, and J.D. Drew went deep for Boston’s other run.

Royals 5, Cardinals 3

ST. LOUIS — Odalis Perez won for only the second time in 10 starts and Kansas City took advantage of mistakes by St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright. John Buck homered and Mark Teahen had two hits and an RBI for the Royals. Wainwright (5-6) gave up five runs — four earned — in seven innings, five days after limiting the Royals to one hit in eight scoreless innings in Kansas City. He hurt himself considerably in the field, committing his first two errors of the season in the first and then making a mental error while trying for a spectacular play.

White Sox 10, Marlins 6

CHICAGO — Jim Thome added to his career interleague home run lead and the struggling White Sox matched their season high for runs. Jose Contreras (5-7) got his first win since May 21, allowing eight hits and five runs in 62⁄3 innings. White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye made two diving, outstretched catches in right field but had to leave the game as a precautionary measure in the fourth inning with a strained right quadriceps. Chicago, with only five wins in 22 games, had 13 hits. The Marlins, losers of seven of nine, had back-to-back errors in the fourth before Thome connected with his ninth homer of the season and 53rd in interleague play.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Brewers 5, Giants 4

MILWAUKEE — Prince Fielder hit his NL-leading 26th home run and Yovani Gallardo silenced the Giants in his major league debut. Barry Bonds, with 748 career home runs, went 1-for-2 with a double in the sixth and two walks as San Francisco lost its fifth game in a row. The Giants have lost 17 of 23 overall. Mixing a 94 mph fastball with changeups 15 mph slower, the 21-year-old Gallardo (1-0) allowed just the one hit to Bonds from the second through the sixth inning.
