 Red 5, Phillies 2
Rookie Jon Moscot earned his first major league victory and Ivan De
Jesus hit a three-run homer, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-2
victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the finale of a three-game
series on Wednesday.
Cincinnati's already thin roster got thinner when shortstop Zack
Cozart left after injuring his knee trying to beat out a grounder in
the first inning. Cozart fell to the ground, rolled on his back and
grabbed the knee, grimacing in pain. He was helped off the field by
the training staff.
The 23-year-old Moscot (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits in six
innings and Brayan Pena tied a career high with four hits for the
Reds, who swept the Phillies for the first time since 2013.
Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman notched his 12th save.

home stand at 6-0.

rookie left-hander Jacob Lindgren forged a 4-4 tie with two outs in
the eighth.

Cardinals 4, Rockies 2
Carlos Martinez pitched six shutout innings and had two hits to help
St. Louis avoid a sweep with a 4-2 win over Colorado.
The 23-year-old Martinez (7-2) pitched into the seventh inning for
the fifth straight game before faltering.
He had allowed just one earned run in his previous four starts, and
shut out the Rockies in the first six innings Wednesday. He pitched
6 1/3 innings, yielding two runs, eight hits and a walk.

following Travis Snider's run-scoring single.

last into the eighth inning, but he gave up eight hits along the
way.

time in his last three starts. Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer

with his blast into the right-field stands. Jake Arrieta recorded

Braves 4, Padres 1
Williams Perez scattered four hits and allowed only one unearned run
over seven innings, leading Atlanta to a 4-1 win over San Diego at
Turner Field.

in six innings of work.
