PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Randy Wolf pitched six crisp innings, Ryan Braun and Casey McGehee homered and the Milwaukee Brewers beat Roy Halladay and the Philadelphia Phillies 9-0 Tuesday night.
The Brewers became the first team to win a series against the NL East-leading Phillies this season. They'll try to complete a three-game sweep on Wednesday afternoon when Cliff Lee takes the mound for Philadelphia.
Wolf (2-2) allowed two hits, struck out five and walked three against his former team. The left-hander was Philadelphia's ace in the early 2000s.
Jimmy Rollins had a bunt single in the first and Shane Victorino hit a double in the third for the Phillies' only hits of the game. Sean Green, Zach Braddock and Mike McClendon each pitched an inning to finish up.
Marlins 6, Pirates 0
MIAMI (AP) - Josh Johnson allowed two hits in seven innings and drove in the first two runs to help the Marlins beat the Pirates.
Johnson (3-0) lowered his ERA to 1.00. He has allowed four hits or less in each of his four starts, and batters are hitting .112 against him.
The right-hander has never thrown a shutout in 108 career starts, and he was pulled by manager Edwin Rodriguez after throwing 98 pitches, 64 for strikes. Mike Dunn and Brian Sanches each worked one perfect inning to complete the two-hitter against a team that came into the game with the highest road batting average in the NL.
Paul Maholm (0-3) allowed six runs and lasted only 3 2-3 innings, his shortest outing in four starts.
Diamondbacks 5, Reds 4
CINCINNATI (AP) - Ryan Roberts made the starting lineup because of an injury and hit two of Arizona's four homers off Sam LeCure on Tuesday night, leading the Diamondbacks to a victory over the slumping Reds.
Roberts filled in for third baseman Melvin Mora and had the second multihomer game of his career, a solo homer and two-run shot off LeCure (0-1). Kelly Johnson and Chris Young also connected.
Armando Galarraga (3-0) went six innings and matched the best start of his career. J.J. Putz pitched the ninth for his fourth save in four chances.
The Reds have dropped five of six, leaving them only a game over .500 (9-8) for the first time since they won on opening day.
Astros 6, Mets 1
NEW YORK (AP) - Wandy Rodriguez found his form against the punchless Mets, pitching seven sharp innings to lead the Astros to a victory.
Michael Bourn and Carlos Lee sparked the offense as Houston won for the fifth time in nine games following a 1-7 start. The Astros have alternated wins and losses over those nine games.
Carlos Beltran homered for the Mets, who have dropped 11 of 13. They snapped a seven-game skid Sunday in Atlanta but followed it up with a sluggish effort in all facets of the game.
Jonathon Niese (0-3) walked five and threw 113 pitches in six innings as New York fell to 1-7 at Citi Field, losing its past six at home.
Giants 6, Rockies 3
DENVER (AP) - Jonathan Sanchez gave up two hits over 6 1-3 innings one night after Tim Lincecum flirted with a no-hitter and the Giants beat Colorado, spoiling Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez's return from the disabled list.
San Francisco's offense, which spotted Lincecum a five-run first-inning cushion in an 8-1 win, gave Sanchez (2-1) a four-run lead to work with thanks to Pablo Sandoval's three-run homer before the lefty even stepped foot on the mound.
Aubrey Huff also went deep for the Giants, who go for the sweep Wednesday when Matt Cain faces Jorge De La Rosa after cutting their four-game deficit in the NL West in half by taking the first two games of the series.
