NL: Rolen continues to tear up the league



By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH - Scott Rolen broke a 2-all tie in the third with a three-run homer off Kris Benson (4-4) that increased his major league-leading RBIs total to 53.

Jason Marquis (4-4) allowed three runs and 10 hits in seven-plus innings and also went 3-for-4 with a double to win for the third time in four starts. Albert Pujols had a two-run double for the Cardinals, Tony Womack also homered and Rolen had three hits.

St. Louis has won three of four on a seven-game trip, improving to 16-9 on the road. Craig Wilson went 4-for-4 to tie his career high for hits as Pittsburgh dropped to 9-15 at home.

Cubs 3, Astros 1

CHICAGO - Greg Maddux earned his 293rd career victory and Moises Alou homered to lead the Cubs over Houston.

Maddux (4-4) allowed seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, including Lance Berkman's ninth homer in 13 games, before leaving with a mild strain of a muscle in his right side.

Maddux said after the game he was OK and planned on throwing on the side in two days. He is not expected to miss his next start.

Joe Borowski, Chicago's fourth pitcher, worked the ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances.

Alou's 13th homer came through a light rain and followed a single by Corey Patterson in the fifth off Roy Oswalt (3-4).

Dodgers 3, Brewers 2, 10 innings

LOS ANGELES - Cesar Izturis hit an RBI single in the 10th inning, giving the Dodgers' come-from-behind victory over Milwaukee.

Jose Hernandez drew a leadoff walk in the 10th from Dave Burba (3-1), was sacrificed to second by Dave Roberts and scored when Izturis sent Burba's 0-1 pitch into right field.

The win went to Cy Young closer Eric Gagne (2-0), who pitched one inning.

Spot starter Matt Wise allowed three hits over five innings and scored Milwaukee's first run on a sacrifice fly by Bill Hall. Geoff Jenkins homered in the seventh off Odalis Perez, giving the Brewers a 2-0 lead.

The Dodgers have scored just four runs in Perez's last four starts.

Mets 5, Phillies 3

PHILADELPHIA - Jason Phillips homered for the third time in two days, and New York ended a four-game losing streak.

Kaz Matsui had two hits and two runs scored and Mike Cameron added a two-run double for the Mets in a game twice delayed by rain for a total of 3 hours, 40 minutes.

Six pitchers combined on a five-hitter. Orber Moreno (1-1) pitched two innings for his first major league win, and Braden Looper worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save.

Brett Myers (3-3) and New York's Matt Ginter left after the second delay. The Mets' Mike Piazza made his fifth error at first base.

Braves 8, Expos 2

ATLANTA - Rookie Nick Green's first career homer highlighted a six-run seventh inning Monday and led the Atlanta Braves over the Montreal Expos 8-2.

With the score tied 2-all in the seventh and a runner on third with two outs, Montreal manager Frank Robinson elected to walk Rafael Furcal and pitch to Green, who hit a three-run drive off Livan Hernandez (3-5).

Russ Ortiz (6-4) pitched six shutout innings before Brian Schneider's two-run homer in the seventh.

Atlanta's J.D. Drew hit his 10th homer.
