NL roundup: Braves' bats beat up on Phillies, Moyer

PHILADELPHIA — Brian McCann hit a go-ahead three-run double during a six-run sixth inning, and Kris Medlen pitched neatly into the seventh and Atlanta beat Philadelphia 7-5 on Wednesday night.

Martin Prado had two solo homers and Matt Diaz also connected for the National League East-leading Braves, who roughed up veteran pitcher Jamie Moyer (9-8).

Medlen (6-1) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. The Braves are 10-1 in his starts this season. Billy Wagner tossed a perfect ninth for his 19th save in 22 chances.

REDS 3, METS 1: At New York, Bronson Arroyo gave up seven hits and one run without walking a batter over eight innings for Cincinnati. Chris Heisey hit a tiebreaking shot in the seventh for the Reds, who won for the fifth time in the last seven games. Brandon Phillips homered in the third and had an RBI double in the seventh inning for the Reds.

NATIONALS 7, PADRES 6: At Washington, Adam Dunn hit three home runs in a game for the first time in his career to lead the Nationals. Dunn hit a three-run shot in the first inning, added a solo homer in the third and capped his power show with a leadoff drive in the eighth. Dunn reached the 20-homer mark for the 10th straight season.

GIANTS 15, BREWERS 2: At Milwaukee, rookie Buster Posey hit two homers, including his first career grand slam, and Tim Lincecum struck out 10 to lead San Francisco over the Brewers. Posey drove in six runs, going 4-for-4 and scoring three times. Lincecum (9-4), the two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, scattered four hits in seven innings.

ASTROS 6, PIRATES 3: At Houston, Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman homered for the second straight game and the Astros hit a season-high four home runs against Pittsburgh. Jeff Keppinger and Hunter Pence added solo shots for the Astros, who came in with a major-league low 50 homers this season. Berkman has homered in three straight games, the first time he's done that since 2007.

ROCKIES 8, CARDINALS 7: At Denver, Chris Iannetta hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and Colorado pulled off another late rally against St. Louis. A day after the Rockies scored a remarkable nine runs in the ninth to stun St. Louis 12-9, Colorado's Dexter Fowler hit a three-run homer in the Rockies' eighth that made it 7-all. Iannetta connected against Evan MacLane (0-1), who was called up from Triple-A before the game.
