Joey Votto also homered and drove in two runs and Willy Taveras had three hits to help lift the Reds to their third win in their last four games. Owings (6-8) allowed six hits and two runs in 6 2-3 innings with two walks and six strikeouts.

MARLINS 5, PIRATES 3: At Miami, Hanley Ramirez homered and Andrew Miller pitched effectively into the seventh inning, leading the Marlins to a victory over the Pirates.

Emilio Bonifacio had three hits and scored twice for Florida, which has won four of five. Dan Meyer pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his second save.

D-BACKS 11, ROCKIES 7: At Denver, pinch-hitter Chris Young hit a tiebreaking, three-run double in the eighth inning, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks rally for an 11-7 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

Stephen Drew finished a single shy of the cycle and Mark Reynolds hit a solo homer as the Diamondbacks snapped a three-game skid.

Trailing 4-3 heading into the eighth, Arizona scored six times to open up a big lead — and then had to hang on.

The Diamondbacks tied the game at 4 when Gerardo Parra laced a one-out double into the left-center gap that scored Miguel Montero.

After Chad Tracy and Felipe Lopez walked, Young cleared the bases with a deep double off reliever Joel Peralta (0-2).
