METS 8, REDS 4
CINCINNATI (AP) - Rookie Matt Harvey drove in one more run than he allowed in the longest outing of his short major league career, and New York snapped Cincinnati's five-game winning streak.
Harvey (2-3), who had lost three straight starts after winning in his major league debut, allowed one run and four hits in 7 2-3 innings. He struck out eight, walked one and hit a batter. Harvey doubled in two runs in New York's three-run fourth inning.
Ike Davis and Jason Bay hit solo home runs for the Mets, who capitalized on three errors and avoided a three-game sweep.

Homer Bailey (10-8) allowed eight hits and six runs, four earned, with three walks, a wild pitch and six strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings.
BRAVES 6, PADRES 0
ATLANTA (AP) - Chipper Jones homered twice on a night when a big crowd turned out to get his bobblehead, and Atlanta won its 15th straight game with Kris Medlen as a starter.
Seizing the moment before a weeknight turnout of 33,157 - more than the previous two nights combined - Jones hit a two-run homer in the first, then added a towering solo shot over the wall in center field in the fifth.
For the 40-year-old Jones, who is retiring after this season, it was his first multihomer game in more than three years and gave him 12 homers in what is turning out to be quite a farewell season. He raised his team-leading average to .315. He came out of the dugout for a curtain call after both drives, the second of which was his 2,700th career hit.
Jason Heyward also homered for the Braves.
Medlen (4-1) threw the first complete game of his career, allowing five hits and not walking anyone.
Jason Marquis (6-7) allowed six runs and eight hits in 4 2-3 innings.
BREWERS 7, PHILLIES 4
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Corey Hart's grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning led Milwaukee and prevented Philadelphia's Cliff Lee from getting a rare win.
Livan Hernandez (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth for the victory. Jim Henderson recorded the final two outs for his third save in four chances, getting Erik Kratz to ground out with the bases loaded to end the game.
Lee allowed two solo home runs by Ryan Braun and a solo homer by Aramis Ramirez. With two outs in the eighth and no runners on, Lee got Rickie Weeks to ground to third, but Kevin Frandsen made an errant throw for a two-base error. Josh Lindblom (2-3) replaced Lee and intentionally walked Braun, and then Ramirez walked to load the bases. Hart hit a 2-2 pitch just over the wall in right.
Lee struck out 12 and was in line for only his third win in 22 starts. The left-hander pitched 7 2-3 innings, giving up five hits without a walk.

Adam Ottavino (4-1) picked up the win in relief of starter Alex White.
