Phillies Trounce Marlins

Jimmy Rollins extended his hitting streak to 22 games with a two-run homer that Juan Encarnacion nearly caught, then had a two-run double to help Philadelphia beat Florida, 13-3, on Friday at Miami.

The Phillies won for the fifth time in six games. They remained half a game behind NL wild-card leader Houston, and the Marlins fell 1 1/2 games back.

Rollins’ double broke open the game in the sixth, when four Florida relievers walked three and gave up five runs, all with two out.

Washington 5, San Diego 1 -- John Patterson threw a three-hitter for his second career complete game and the Nationals chased Jake Peavy after six innings at San Diego.

Cincinnati 8-4, Pittsburgh 2-5 -- Freddie Sanchez singled to score Craig Wilson with the winning run, and the Pirates scored twice in the ninth to earn a doubleheader split at Pittsburgh. In the first game, Felipe Lopez went five for five for the Reds.

New York 4, Atlanta 0 -- Pedro Martinez threw his 17th career shutout to lead the Mets at New York. Martinez (15-7) had 10 strikeouts to move ahead of Hall of Famer Jim Bunning and into 14th place on the career strikeout list with 2,860.

Houston 2, Milwaukee 1 -- Jeff Bagwell hit a run-scoring single in the ninth at Houston and the Astros won their third straight game.

Chicago 5, St. Louis 3 -- Jeromy Burnitz had two hits and three RBIs and Derrek Lee hit his 44th homer to lead the Cubs at Chicago.
