NATIONAL LEAGUE

Reds 10, Padres 3

CINCINNATI

Scooter Gennett hit a grand slam in the seventh inning, ending left-hander Brad Hand’s long scoreless streak and rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a victory over the San Diego Padres. The Reds won three of four in the series. Gennett’s third career grand slam made it 6-3, the first runs allowed by Hand since June 10. Eugenio Suarez homered two pitches later. Zack Cozart and Joey Votto added homers in the eighth, with Votto’s solo shot extending his hitting streak to a season-high 15 games. Drew Storen (3-2) escaped a two-on threat in the seventh.

Mets 10, Phillies 0

PHILADELPHIA

New York’s Jacob deGrom pitched brilliantly until leaving in the seventh inning due to a contusion on his right triceps after being hit on a line drive by Nick Williams, and the Mets homered four times in a rout of the Philadelphia Phillies. DeGrom (13-5) gave up four hits in 62/3 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and no walks. Wilmer Flores finished a triple shy of the cycle, Neil Walker had four hits with a homer and Michael Conforto and Curtis Granderson also went deep as the Mets continued their power surge at Citizens Bank Park, where they have launched 51 long balls in their last 23 games.

Nationals 3, Marlins 2

WASHINGTON

Brian Goodwin had two hits, including a home run leading off the eighth inning, and the Washington Nationals rallied past the Miami Marlins. Goodwin broke a 2-2 tie when he connected on a 1-0 fastball from Junichi Tazawa (1-2) for his 13th homer of the season and second RBI of the night. Ryan Madson (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Sean Doolittle worked around a one-out double by Miguel Rojas in the ninth for his seventh save since coming to Washington.

INTERLEAGUE

Cardinals 8, Royals 6

ST. LOUIS

Dexter Fowler hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high five runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to victory over the Kansas City Royals. St. Louis tied a season-high with its sixth straight win. Kansas City has lost four in a row and six of seven.

Twins 7, Brewers 2

MILWAUKEE

Byron Buxton and Joe Mauer each had three singles and the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwaukee Brewers. The Twins, who have won five straight and are 7-3 in August, had 12 hits — 11 singles and a double. Rookie Alan Busenitz (1-0) pitched 22/3 innings of relief for his first major league win. Milwaukee starter Zach Davies (13-6) allowed seven runs, six earned, a career-high 11 hits and two walks while striking out three in 52/3 innings. The right-hander struggled after allowing just three earned runs and 19 hits over 282/3 innings his past four starts.
