Brewers 4, Braves 3

ATLANTA — Dave Bush earned his first road victory of the season, scattering four hits over seven innings. The Brewers are 18-21 on the road with four straight wins, including two in a row over the Braves. They had to survive a ninth-inning scare when closer Solomon Torres allowed a two-run homer to Mark Teixeira, but left the tying run on third base to earn his 13th save.

Interleague

Red Sox 5, Diamondbacks 4

BOSTON — Jason Varitek capped a four-run eighth inning with a go-ahead single as Boston rallied. Varitek’s big hit scored Mike Lowell, who tied the score with a two-out, two-run double off Chad Qualls (1-6). Varitek was 1-for-30 before that at-bat, dropping his average to .227. Dustin Pedroia homered for Boston.

DETROIT — Brian Barton, Skip Schumaker and Brendan Ryan each drove in two runs to lead St. Louis. Cardinals starter Braden Looper (9-5) gave up four runs on three homers in six-plus innings.

Blue Jays 14, Reds 1

TORONTO — Scott Rolen hit one of Toronto’s three homers and A.J. Burnett pitched eight strong innings for Toronto. Alex Rios and Gregg Zaun also connected for the Blue Jays, who battered Bronson Arroyo (4-7) for 10 runs in an inning-plus.

He struck out seven and walked three.

Angels 8, Nationals 3

WASHINGTON — Mike Napoli hit a run-scoring double in a six-run first inning and added a two-run homer, and Los Angeles took advantage of four Washington errors.

Jon Garland (7-4) pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits. The Angels’ Vladimir Guerrero extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a first-inning single, but left after two innings with flu-like symptoms.

Mariners 11, Mets 0

NEW YORK — Raul Ibanez homered and drove in three runs, knuckleballer R.A. Dickey tossed seven sharp innings and Seattle blew out the frustrated Mets. Richie Sexson had three RBIs and Kenji Johjima hit a two-run shot for Seattle, which took advantage of a shaky Oliver Perez (5-5) to boost its AL-worst road record to 13-25. The Mariners also improved to 7-1 all-time against the Mets. Dickey (2-3) allowed six hits and struck out five against New York, which absorbed its second consecutive loss since coming home from an eventful road trip.
