Franmil Reyes hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh and Eric Hosmer added a two-run shot for the San Diego Padres, who overcame three homers by the Milwaukee Brewers in a win. Reyes’ shot to right-center, his 20th, came off Jeremy Jeffress (1-1) after Manny Machado hit a leadoff single and Hunter Renfroe walked. Reyes and Hosmer had three hits apiece.

Nationals 6, Phillies 2 Nationals 2, Phillies 0

WASHINGTON

Max Scherzer shrugged off a broken nose and black eye to throw seven shutout innings, Brian Dozier and Victor Robles hit solo homers, and the Washington Nationals completed a day-night doubleheader sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. In the first game, Patrick Corbin struck out eight while allowing one run over seven innings. Scherzer (6-5) was rarely threatened. He struck out 10, yielded only four hits and permitted just two runners to reach scoring position.

Braves 7, Mets 2

ATLANTA

Josh Donaldson hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning, Freddie Freeman launched an early two-run shot and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets. Freeman blooped a pop-fly single to begin the sixth, Atlanta’s first hit since his homer in the first off Steven Matz (5-5). Donaldson followed with his 14th home run before Austin Riley doubled and scored on Ozzie Albies’ double to make it 5-2.

INTERLEAGUE

Reds 3, Astros 2

CINCINNATI

Nick Senzel singled home the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning, and Jesse Winker followed with an RBI single as the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a victory. Michael Brantley’s two-run homer put Gerrit Cole in position for only his second career win over Cincinnati, but Roberto Osuna (3-1) couldn’t close it out. Jose Peraza opened the rally with a double and came around on Senzel’s hit. Winker finished it off with a single up the middle.

Cubs 7, White Sox 3

CHICAGO

Willson Contreras homered twice and drove in five runs, and the Chicago Cubs handed Lucas Giolito his first loss since April by downing the Chicago White Sox. David Bote also connected to help the Cubs bounce back from a tough loss to their crosstown rivals in their first meeting of the season. Jon Lester (6-5) allowed two more homers, but worked into the sixth inning to improve to 3-1 in June.
