Ramirez homers, but Padres win
SAN DIEGO — Manny Ramirez's first home run since returning from a 50-game drug suspension wasn't enough to help Los Angeles overcome Everth Cabrera's three RBIs as the San Diego Padres beat the Dodgers 7-4 on Saturday.
Ramirez homered in his second game and fifth plate appearance back. It was his seventh homer of the season and 534th of his career, tying Jimmie Foxx for 16th on the all-time list. Up next is Mickey Mantle with 536.
BREWERS 11, CUBS 2: At Chicago, rookie Casey McGehee had a career high four hits and five RBIs to help the Brewers pound Rich Harden and the Cubs.
Mike Cameron and J.J. Hardy also went deep to back a solid effort by Braden Looper (7-4). But McGahee delivered his best performance against the organization that let him go during the offseason.
GIANTS 9, ASTROS 0: At San Francisco, Tim Lincecum ran his career-best scoreless innings streak to 23 in winning his third straight start and also scored the first run in the Giants' victory over the Astros.
The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner struck out nine and allowed three hits with two walks in seven innings. Brandon Medders and Merkin Valdez each pitched an inning to finish the three-hit shutout, the Giants' majors-best 11th and fourth in their last seven games.
PHILLIES 4, METS 1: At Philadelphia, Jamie Moyer pitched neatly into the seventh inning, Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run double and the Phillies beat the Mets.
Moyer (7-6) allowed one run and five hits in 6 1-3 innings to win his third straight start. The 46-year-old Moyer tied Carl Hubbell for 42nd on the all-time list with his 253rd career win.
NATIONALS 5, BRAVES 3: At Washington, Atlanta's Tommy Hanson extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 before Adam Dunn's 300th career homer and the Nationals rallied for four eighth-inning runs and a victory over the Braves.
Hanson departed with a 3-1 lead after seven innings and was in line for his fifth straight victory before the Braves bullpen blew up, halting Atlanta's winning streak at a season-high five.
REDS 5, CARDINALS 2: At Cincinnati, Micah Owings homered and pitched into the seventh inning to help the Reds beat the Cardinals.
