Brenly Left Fuming After Loss

Bob Brenly was angry Monday night in Miami, and not only because Arizona lost for the eighth time in 10 games.

The Diamondback manager was incensed that after Florida’s Ugueth Urbina walked pinch-hitter Carlos Baerga with the bases loaded in the eighth inning and ran off the mound, the reliever got an inning-ending called strikeout from umpire Mike DiMuro on Danny Bautista.

The Marlins held on for a 3-2 victory.

“Urbina runs off the mound and shows up the home plate umpire the way he does,” Brenly said, “and then [DiMuro] gives him two pitches that are borderline at best.”

After the ball-four call, Urbina turned his back to the plate and walked toward second base. Manager Jack McKeon, worried the reliever would get ejected, sent pitching coach Wayne Rosenthal to calm down Urbina.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an umpire do that after being shown up the way he was,” Brenly said. “I’m not saying he needs to squeeze him, but certainly you don’t go off the corner and give the guy pitches after he embarrasses you in front of everybody.”

Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs, and Mark Redman gave up two runs in 7 1/3 innings to lead the Marlins. Florida has won four in a row and seven of eight, closing within one game of Philadelphia, the National League wild-card leader.

Cincinnati 6, Philadelphia 5 -- Kelly Stinnett hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Reds to a victory only hours after Cincinnati General Manager Jim Bowden and Manager Bob Boone were fired.

Sean Casey tied the score with an eighth-inning home run against Randy Wolf, and Stinnett delivered after Aaron Boone -- Bob Boone’s son -- led off the 10th with a walk against Terry Adams (1-4).

Atlanta 10, Montreal 8 -- Marcus Giles homered twice, hitting the second grand slam of his career, and had a career-high six runs batted in for the Braves at Montreal.

Giles had Atlanta’s fifth grand slam this season, a drive against Javier Vazquez (8-7) that capped a five-run sixth.

Vladimir Guerrero homered twice against Mike Hampton (7-5), including a 502-foot drive off the base of Olympic Stadium’s middle deck. Hampton gave up four earned runs and eight hits before being ejected in the sixth inning for arguing.

John Smoltz earned his major league-high 38th save when Wil Cordero hit into a game-ending double play.

Pittsburgh 3, St. Louis 0 -- Reggie Sanders hit a two-run homer at St. Louis and Jeff Suppan (10-7) gave up seven hits for his third complete game and second shutout this season.

Suppan won a decision for the fifth consecutive time and matched a career high for victories. Brett Tomko (6-7) is 0-4 in 10 home starts this year.

Milwaukee 4, New York 2 -- Scott Podsednik hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the ninth inning at New York against Met reliever John Franco after Eddie Perez drew a one-out walk from David Weathers (1-5) and Royce Clayton bunted.
