NEW YORK (AP) " Omir Santos hit the first grand slam in Citi Field history for his first career RBIs, and the New York Mets beat Florida 7-1 Monday night to extend the Marlins' losing streak to seven.
Santos' first-inning drive off Anibal Sanchez (1-2) went about four rows into the left-field seats and was just the sixth home run for the Mets at the pitcher-friendly ballpark, their first in six games since April 17. Daniel Murphy and David Wright tripled for New York, which has more three-base hits (seven) at its new ballpark than homers.
Overall, only 15 homers have been hit in 10 games at Citi Field, a stark contrast to the 26 that rocketed out of the new Yankee Stadium during the opening six-game homestand.
Cardinals 3, Braves 2
ATLANTA (AP) " Rick Ankiel drove in two runs for St. Louis to back another strong outing by Joel Pineiro, who equaled the best start of his career when the Cardinals edged the Braves.
Ankiel had a pair of two-out, run-scoring singles, one in the second inning to push the Cardinals to a 2-0 lead and another in the seventh for a 3-1 edge.
Pineiro (4-0) went 6 2-3 innings, allowing seven hits and a pair of runs while walking none. He also won his first four decisions for Seattle in 2001.
Ryan Franklin worked the ninth for his sixth save in as many chances.
Astros 4, Reds 1
CINCINNATI (AP) " Lance Berkman hit his 20th homer at Great American Ball Park, the most by any visiting player, and Hunter Pence hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning, leading the Astros to a victory over the Reds.
Pence's two-run double off Francisco Cordero (0-1) broke a 1-all tie and sent the Astros to their 10th straight win at Great American Ball Park, a streak that started near the end of the 2007 season and is the longest in the majors.
Naturally, Berkman had a hand in it, hitting a solo homer in the sixth off Johnny Cueto. The opposite-field shot snapped his 0-for-16 slump and left him with more career homers (46) and RBIs (127) against Cincinnati than any other team.
Phillies 13, Nationals 11
PHILADELPHIA (AP) " Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez each hit a grand slam, rallying the Phillies to a wild victory over the Nationals for their fourth straight win.
Howard's shot to center in the fifth inning tied the score at 6. After the Nationals scored four times in the eighth to go up 11-7, Ibanez capped a six-run surge in the bottom half with a two-out drive to right off Joel Hanrahan (0-1).
With star closer Brad Lidge nursing a sore knee, Ryan Madson got three outs for his first save this season. Lidge is day to day with inflammation in his right knee, the Phillies said.
Ryan Zimmerman hit two of Washington's five homers. Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn each had a two-run shot in the eighth, and Elijah Dukes also connected. Brewers 10, Pirates 5
MILWAUKEE (AP) " Rickie Weeks broke open a tie game in the eighth inning with a run-scoring fielder's choice and had a career-high four RBIs, lifting the Brewers to a win over the Pirates.
Milwaukee fans got to hear AC/DC's "Hells Bells" for the first time this season when Trevor Hoffman entered in the ninth for his first outing in a Brewers uniform.
Weeks had a three-run homer, and Ryan Braun and Mike Cameron also connected for Milwaukee, which won its 13th in a row over Pittsburgh, but needed the extra runs after the bullpen squandered a 5-3 lead in the eighth: Carlos Villanueva allowed a two-out, two-run double to Freddy Sanchez.
Brewers reliever Todd Coffey (1-0) earned the win after Pirates reliever Tyler Yates struggled.
Rockies 12, Padres 7
DENVER (AP) " Dexter Fowler tied a modern-day rookie mark with five stolen bases as the Rockies ran past the Padres.
The fleet-footed Fowler gave the Padres fits all night, becoming the first rookie to steal that many bases since Damian Jackson on June 28, 1999. That contest also involved Colorado and San Diego.
The game was halted in the sixth inning when Brad Hawpe was hit in the neck by San Diego catcher Nick Hundley's throw to second. Hawpe was taken off the field in a cart and then to a hospital with a possible concussion.
Jason Grilli (1-1) picked up the win in relief.
Chris Young (2-1) gave up a career-high eight runs in just three innings.
Diamondbacks 7, Cubs 2
PHOENIX (AP) " Dan Haren threw a three-hitter and broke open the game with a two-run double, and the Diamondbacks defeated the Cubs.
Haren (2-3) tossed his seventh complete game, his second with Arizona.
Chris Snyder hit his first homer for the Diamondbacks, who won consecutive games for the first time this season.
Alfonso Soriano led off the game by hitting a 1-1 pitch into the front row of the second deck in left field, his 52nd leadoff homer.
Haren retired 22 of the next 23 batters, with only a single by Ted Lilly (2-2) breaking up the string of outs. Mike Fontenot homered in the eighth off Haren, who struck out 10 and didn't walk a batter.
