MARLINS 10, PADRES 3: At Miami, Greg Maddux failed in his fourth bid to reach 350 victories, when he was outpitched by young Andrew Miller in a loss to Florida. Maddux (2-3) twice failed to hold a lead, and he allowed 11 hits and five runs, four earned, in 5 2/3 innings. Miller (2-2) earned his seventh career win with his best performance since joining the Marlins in the offseason trade that sent Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera to Detroit. The left-hander allowed four hits and two runs in a season-high six innings.

Dan Uggla hit his seventh homer, doubled twice, drove in three runs and scored three times for the Marlins, who took two of three games in the series. Mike Jacobs also had three of Florida's 16 hits and drove in a run, and Matt Treanor had two hits and two RBIs.

NATIONALS 5, PIRATES 2: At Washington, Tim Redding allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings, Aaron Boone homered and the Nationals beat the Pirates. Redding (4-2) closed out an 11-game homestand, Washington's longest of the season, by helping the Nationals to their sixth victory in seven games. Washington finished the homestand 8-3.

The right-hander, who has twice as many wins as any other Nationals starting pitcher, allowed six hits, walked none and struck out five.

Redding departed after LaRoche's one-out double in the seventh put runners at second and third. Reliever Saul Rivera induced comebackers to the mound from Jose Bautista and pinch-hitter Doug Mientkiewicz to escape the jam.

Pittsburgh starter Ian Snell (2-2) took the loss.

PHILLIES 6, GIANTS 5: At Philadelphia, Pat Burrell had two doubles and two RBIs to lead the Phillies past the Giants for manager Charlie Manuel's 500th career victory. Shane Victorino had two hits and Carlos Ruiz homered for the Phillies. Philadelphia won in the bottom of the ninth when second baseman Eugenio Velez couldn't handle Geoff Jenkins' sharp grounder, allowing Ryan Howard to score from second.

Brad Lidge (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.

Keiichi Yabu (2-2) took the loss for the Giants. Yabu walked Howard and Burrell with two outs, setting up Jenkins' at-bat.

Burrell is second in the National League with 30 RBIs and has reached base in 30 straight games. His two-run double in the third inning scored Victorino and Eric Bruntlett for a 2-0 advantage.
