CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano (13-5) allowed a run and six hits in seven innings, including a solo homer by Jay Bruce in the sixth.

Dodgers 3, Rockies 1

LOS ANGELES — Derek Lowe allowed one run in 61‚Ñ3 innings, and James Loney homered and had two RBIs as Los Angeles salvaged the finale of a three-game series. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Rockies.

Giants 4, Marlins 3

SAN FRANCISCO — Emmanuel Burriss scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning for San Francisco. Burriss drew a one-out walk from closer Kevin Gregg (6-6), stole second and took third on a fly out. Pinch-hitter Bengie Molina was intentionally walked, but Gregg’s first pitch to Fred Lewis skipped past catcher John Baker, allowing Burriss to score standing up.
