BRAVES 14, REDS 7: At Atlanta, Chipper Jones drove in five runs and the Braves scored seven runs in the second inning and beat Cincinnati to complete a three-game sweep. Jones hit his ninth homer — a three-run shot off Bronson Arroyo in the seven-run second. Kelly Johnson was 4-for-6 and Mark Kotsay was 3-for-4 with a homer.

Arroyo (1-4) lasted only 1 1-3 innings, the shortest of his 166 career starts. His ERA climbed to 8.63 as he gave up seven hits and seven runs with a walk.

Tom Glavine gave up seven hits with five walks and six runs in 4 2-3 innings. He was only one out away from qualifying for the win when he was pulled after walking Edwin Encarnacion on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases in the fifth. Royce Ring (1-0) threw only one pitch, ending the inning with a shallow fly ball to left from Adam Dunn.

ROCKIES 7, DODGERS 2: At Denver, Aaron Cook gave the Rockies the strong outing they needed, Matt Holliday had two hits and two RBIs and the Rockies beat the Dodgers to end a four-game losing streak. It was the fifth time Cook (5-1) stopped a Rockies' losing streak, and for the third straight start he ended a four-game losing streak. The Rockies are 6-1 when Cook starts and 6-18 in other games.

Taylor Buchholz pitched a perfect final 1 2-3 innings to pick up his first save of the season.

Andre Ethier homered for the Dodgers, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped. Derek Lowe (2-2) took the loss.

METS 5, DIAMONDBACKS 2: At Phoenix, first baseman Conor Jackson's ninth inning throwing error allowed Carlos Beltran to score the go-ahead run from second and the Mets went on to beat the Diamondbacks. The Mets won at Arizona for the 15th time in 17 tries and handed the Diamondbacks' just their second series loss of the season.

CARDINALS 5, CUBS 3: At St. Louis, Albert Pujols reached base for the 32nd consecutive game, one shy of his personal best to start the year, and did it with a key two-run double in the fourth inning that was the go-ahead hit in the Cardinals' victory over the Cubs. Todd Wellemeyer (3-1) beat the team that drafted him in 2000.
