• Padres 9, Brewers 0: In San Diego, the Padres tied a team record with seven straight singles during a five-run fifth inning - including pitcher Wade LeBlanc's career-high third hit of the night. The NL West-leading Padres won their seventh straight home game and for the 11th time in 13 overall. San Diego's 13 hits were all singles. LeBlanc (2-0) struck out six, walked none and held Milwaukee to eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. He lowered his ERA from 0.82 to 0.52.
• Pirates 2, Dodgers 0: In Los Angeles, Ryan Doumit got two RBIs on a play that Matt Kemp misplayed into a triple and Pittsburgh handed the Dodgers their fifth loss in a row. L.A. starter Clayton Kershaw (1-1) walked his first two batters of the game, and both scored when Doumit's sinking liner got past Kemp in center with two outs as he tried to backhand it on the short hop.
• Cardinals 10, Braves 4: In St. Louis, rookie David Freese homered, doubled and drove in six runs as the Cardinals sent Atlanta to its ninth straight loss. The Braves wrapped up an 0-7 road trip, their first winless swing of seven or more games since September 1949 when the franchise was located in Boston and went 0-8 in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
