at Milwaukee 12, Pittsburgh 8: Bill Hall hit two two-run homers, Carlos Lee had one and the Brewers had 15 hits, one shy of their season high. Milwaukee second baseman Rickie Weeks left after the second inning because of an injured right wrist. Manager Ned Yost said Weeks is day to day. Weeks doubled for his 100th hit and scored in the first inning. After the game, the Brewers activated pitcher Ben Sheets and said he would start today.

Chicago 8, at New York 7: Greg Maddux ended his six-game losing streak, and Aramis Ramirez and Jacque Jones hit consecutive homers. Maddux was the winner, his 35th victory against the Mets, his most against any opponent and the most for any pitcher against New York.

Atlanta 10, at Philadelphia 8: Adam LaRoche homered twice, driving in four runs, and the Braves built a big lead and then held off a late charge. The Braves have won nine of their last 11 games. They were without Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones for a second consecutive game because of injuries. Rookie Cole Hamels struck out a career-high 12 in 5 1/3 innings for the Phillies.
