Braves 9, Diamondbacks 4

ATLANTA (AP) - Ryan Church hit a three-run double in a six-run third inning that lifted Atlanta past Arizona 9-4 on Monday.

Tommy Hanson (8-2) gave up six hits, no walks and two runs in six innings for his third straight win. The rookie right-hander struck out seven.

Garret Anderson gave the Braves a 1-0 lead with a second-inning homer, and Adam LaRoche added a two-run shot off Max Scherzer in the sixth.

The Braves won two of three in a series that took three months to complete. The game was rescheduled following a May 17 rainout at Turner Field.

Scherzer (7-7) gave up six hits and nine runs, three earned, in five innings. His throwing error in the third made all the runs in it unearned.

Stephen Drew and Mark Reynolds homered for Arizona.

Giants 10, Mets 1

NEW YORK (AP) - Aaron Rowand homered and had four hits, and San Francisco won to split the four-game series.

Pinch-hitter Nate Schierholtz chased Livan Hernandez (7-8) with a two-run double in a three-run sixth inning that broke it open. Randy Winn added three hits for the Giants, who set a season high with 18.

San Francisco, which began the day ranked next-to-last in the majors in runs, moved within one game of Colorado for the NL wild-card lead.

Gary Sheffield had an RBI single for the Mets.

Joe Martinez (3-1), who has won twice in three starts, allowed one run and five hits in five innings.

Pablo Sandoval got the Giants started with an RBI double in the third. Rowand hit a solo shot in the fourth, and Eugenio Velez tripled to open the fifth before scoring on Freddy Sanchez's sacrifice fly.

Pirates 9, Brewers 5

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Andy LaRoche, Garrett Jones and Ronny Cedeno homered and Pittsburgh won for only the second time in its past 14 games.

The Pirates scored four runs during a four-game losing streak and did not homer in their just-completed five-game trip. But eight of nine starters had hits Monday, seven scored and seven had at least one RBI.

Mike Cameron and Price Fielder homered for the Brewers, who fell seven games behind Colorado in the NL wild card.

Kevin Hart (4-2) earned his first win in three starts since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs on July 30. He allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings.

The Pirates entered the game having lost 17 of their previous 20 and on an eight-game home losing streak.

LaRoche hit his sixth homer, a solo shot in the second off Carlos Villanueva (2-10).
