NEW YORK - Barry Bonds homered twice, giving him 650 in his career, but the New York Mets overcame his power display to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Tuesday.

Bonds leads the majors with 37 home runs this season. He hit a pair of solo shots, and his drive in the ninth inning moved him 10 behind Willie Mays for third-most all time.

The Mets used a three-run second inning against Sidney Ponson to jump-start their third victory in five meetings with the NL West leaders this season.

Rookie Aaron Heilman (2-5) allowed seven hits and three runs in five innings to snap his three-game losing streak.

Ponson (0-2), acquired by the NL West leaders in a trade with Baltimore last week, labored through his second start with the Giants. He gave up five runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The bulky right-hander was 14-6 with a 3.77 ERA with the Orioles.

Marlins 5, Dodgers 4, 13 innings

MIAMI - Ramon Castro hit a two-out home run in the 13th inning, and Florida took the lead in the NL wild-card race. The Marlins have a half-game edge over Philadelphia.

Los Angeles fell 3 1/2 games behind the Marlins and lost to them for the first time in five meetings this season.

Padres 14, Braves 4

ATLANTA - San Diego pounded Greg Maddux for 13 hits in five innings and San Diego went on to equal a team record for hits set April 19, 1982, vs. San Francisco.

NL East-leading Atlanta matched a season high with its third straight loss. Maddux (11-9) had won five straight decisions.

Rockies 6, Expos 3, 11 innings

MONTREAL - Pinch hitter Greg Norton came through for Colorado with a three-run homer in the 11th inning.

Vladimir Guerrero homered for the second night in a row and drove in three runs for Montreal.

Cubs 3, Astros 0

CHICAGO - Carlos Zambrano (11-8) held Houston to five hits to win his fifth straight start and earn his first major-league shutout. He matched a career high with 10 strikeouts.

Houston's lead in the NL Central was reduced to one game over St. Louis and 2 1/2 over the Cubs.

Brewers 6, Phillies 3

PHILADELPHIA - Keith Osik hit a bases-clearing double and Keith Ginter added a two-run double for Milwaukee.

Wayne Franklin (8-9) allowed three runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings to snap a three-game losing streak. He allowed 18 runs in his previous 15 innings.

Brandon Duckworth (4-7) gave up six runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings, and four of the six batters he walked scored. He has lost six of his last seven decisions.

Cardinals 10, Pirates 6

PITTSBURGH - Albert Pujols and Tino Martinez hit three-run homers before Pittsburgh retired a batter, and St. Louis rode the six-run first inning to victory.

Pujols had three hits to extend the Cardinals' longest hitting streak in 32 years to 26 games. He tied Kenny Lofton and Nomar Garciaparra for longest streak in the majors this year.

Cardinals starter Brett Tomko (9-7) leads the NL in hits (198) and runs (100) allowed, yet is 7-2 since June 19 and has won four of his last five starts.
