NL roundup: Jamie Moyer, Jayson Werth help Phillies break out of slump

PHILADELPHIA — Jamie Moyer pitched a seven-hitter and Jayson Werth homered to help the Philadelphia Phillies break out of their offensive slump with a 6-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

Ryan Howard went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs, and Chase Utley also drove in a run for the Phillies, who won their second straight.

Moyer (6-5), who moved into a tie for 38th all-time with 264 career wins, settled down after surrendering two runs on five hits in the second inning. He allowed just two hits the rest of the way while striking out one and walking one. It was the 47-year-old left-hander's second complete game this season, and 33rd for a career that began in 1986. He also joined Phil Niekro (121) and Jack Quinn (103) as the only pitchers to win 100 games after age 40.

Jon Garland (6-3) allowed six runs on 10 hits in seven innings, losing for the first time since April 11.

METS 6, MARLINS 1: At New York, Jonathon Niese pitched brilliantly in his return from the disabled list and David Wright hit a rare homer at Citi Field for New York. Wright drove in three runs and rookie Ike Davis went 4 for 4 to break out of a mini-slump as New York improved to 21-9 at home with its seventh straight home win. Jeff Francoeur had an RBI single and Ruben Tejada a run-scoring double off Nate Robertson (4-5). Niese (2-2) scattered six hits over seven innings for his first career win at home. Robertson yielded six runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.

REDS 5, NATIONALS 1: At Washington, Rookie Mike Leake allowed an unearned run over seven innings to remain unbeaten for Cincinnati. Leake (5-0) allowed seven hits, walked none and struck out five, becoming the first pitcher in Reds history to go undefeated after 11 major league starts. The right-hander is the first Cincinnati starting pitcher to win his first five decisions since Santo Alcala in 1976. He also singled twice in three at-bats, raising his average to .417.

The Reds used RBI doubles by Joey Votto and Orlando Cabrera and run-scoring singles by Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce to break a two-game skid. Luis Atilano (5-2) gave up two runs — one earned — and six hits in seven innings.
