NL: Marlins' Willis wins 8th in row



The Associated Press

MONTREAL - Rookie Dontrelle Willis won his eighth straight decision and Ivan Rodriguez had four hits and drove in five runs to lead the Florida Marlins to an 11-4 win over the Montreal Expos on Sunday.

Home plate umpire Marty Foster sustained a concussion and had to be taken off on a stretcher after he was hit on the mask by a pitch in the fourth.

Willis (9-1), a late addition to the NL All-Star team, remained undefeated in 10 starts since losing May 20 at Olympic Stadium.

Rodriguez, who went 4-for-4, hit an RBI double off Claudio Vargas (6-5) in the first and a run-scoring single in the third. He added a two-run double off Britt Reames in the fourth before driving in his fifth run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 4

PHOENIX - Luis Gonzalez, Steve Finley and Shea Hillenbrand each drove in a pair of runs in the first two innings and Arizona avoided a three-game sweep.

Arizona beat the Giants for just the second time in eight tries this season and moved within five games of the NL West leaders heading into the All-Star break.

Rookie Brandon Webb, with an NL-best 2.18 ERA entering the game, struggled through a four-run first inning - including homers by J.T. Snow and Jose Cruz Jr. - then shut down the Giants on two hits for the next five.

Astros 5, Pirates 2

HOUSTON - Tim Redding pitched six scoreless innings and Lance Berkman homered for first-place Houston.

Redding (6-8) scattered five hits in winning his second straight start following a four-game losing streak. He struck out five and walked one as the Astros held onto the NL Central lead heading into the All-Star break.

Dodgers 9, Rockies 3

DENVER - Jolbert Cabrera had a three-run double in the first inning and Wilson Alvarez overcame some shaky moments for his first win in over a year.

The Dodgers scored five runs in the first inning and three more in the ninth to win for just the fourth time in 16 games.

Cardinals 3, Padres 1

ST. LOUIS - Spot starter Kerry Robinson hit an RBI triple and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as St. Louis swept the three-game series.

Both benches cleared in the first inning when Albert Pujols was hit in the shoulder blade on the first pitch he saw from Adam Eaton, a day after Pujols lingered at the plate following his game-winning, two-run home run in a 9-7, 11-inning victory.

Mets 4, Phillies 3

NEW YORK - Jason Phillips hit an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning and New York snapped a six-game losing streak. Tom Glavine pitched six solid innings for the Mets, who overcame another blown save by Armando Benitez and ended the Phillies' five-game winning streak.

Braves 7, Cubs 2

CHICAGO - Vinny Castilla capped a remarkable series against the Cubs, getting three hits and driving in two runs to pace Atlanta. The Braves won three of four to finish a major league-best 61-32 at the All-Star break. Castilla went 3-for-4 and finished the series 11-for-15 (.733) with 10 RBI. Atlanta scored five runs in the sixth.
