NL: Glanville homer winner for Phils



The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA - Doug Glanville homered leading off the ninth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the Montreal Expos 5-4 Sunday for a three-game sweep.

Glanville hit a 3-1 pitch off Rocky Biddle (0-1) deep over the left field wall to give the Phillies their fourth straight win in their new ballpark following a loss in the opener. He was crushed by his teammates at home plate as the Phillies danced off the field.

"He's got to pay the price when he does something good," a smiling Jim Thome said.

Montreal (2-10) lost its seventh in a row, its longest skid in more than three years. The Expos scored more than three runs for the first time. They had been the first team since the 1997 Phillies to fail to score more than three runs in any of their first 11 games.

Padres 6, Diamondbacks 5

SAN DIEGO - Ryan Klesko hit a three-run homer off Matt Mantei in the ninth inning to lift San Diego.

Mantei (0-2) relieved to start the inning with a 5-3 lead, faced four batters and didn't get any out.

San Diego went 5-4 on its first homestand at Petco Park.

Dodgers 7, Giants 6

SAN FRANCISCO - Adrian Beltre, Juan Encarnacion and David Ross homered in a four-pitch span of the fifth inning against Brett Tomko (0-1) to lead Los Angeles to its first sweep in San Francisco since April 2000.

The Dodgers, who have won five straight and nine of 12, are off to their best start since 1983.

Eric Gagne struck out three in the ninth for his fifth save of the season and record 68th straight since Aug. 28, 2002.

Braves 3, Marlins 2 (10)

ATLANTA - Andruw Jones scored all the way from first in the 10th inning when Miguel Cabrera lost a fly ball in the sun, and Atlanta completed a three-game sweep.

The Braves won despite losing two key players and striking out 15 times. Chipper Jones went down with a hamstring injury and Marcus Giles was ejected for arguing a called third strike.

Rockies 8, Cardinals 5

ST. LOUIS - Todd Helton homered for the third straight game and Jason Jennings stopped Colorado's losing streak.

Vinny Castilla hit his fourth homer and Kit Pellow had a three-run double for the Rockies, who roughed up Woody Williams to end a three-game skid. Colorado pitchers gave up 32 runs in those three games.

Pirates 8, Mets 1

NEW YORK - Craig Wilson drove in two runs with a homer and a single, and Pittsburgh completed its first three-game sweep at Shea Stadium in a decade.

Kris Benson (2-0) won for the second time in a week, his first victory since last May 27, allowing six hits in seven innings. Benson sacrificed four times, tying a major league record achieved six times previously, just twice since 1920.

Astros 6, Brewers 1

HOUSTON - Roger Clemens recorded the second RBI of his career, driving in Brad Ausmus with a single to right field in the easy victory. Clemens' other RBI came June 20, 2002, against Colorado when he was with the Yankees.
