Thursday's American League results
Tigers 6, Orioles 5 — Gary Sheffield and Brandon Inge hit two-run homers, Marcus Thames added a solo shot, and visiting Detroit resumed its playoff drive by defeating Baltimore. Kenny Rogers (7-6) allowed four runs and 11 hits in six gritty innings for the Tigers, who moved within 61/2 games of first-place Chicago in the AL Central. Todd Jones, the fifth Detroit pitcher, worked the ninth for his 18th save. After Aubrey Huff hit a one-out sacrifice fly with the bases loaded, Jones retired Kevin Millar on a grounder to third. Baltimore starter Garrett Olson (6-5) gave up five runs, seven hits and four walks in six innings. He has allowed 18 runs over 15 innings in his last three starts.
Thursday's National League results
Cardinals 4, Padres 3 — Troy Glaus hit two homers and Rick Ankiel and Joe Mather added one each off Padres starter Jake Peavy as host St. Louis beat San Diego. It was only the second time in his seven-year career that Peavy allowed four homers in a game. The other was July 9, 2003, at Arizona. Peavy (7-6), who had won his previous four starts against the Cardinals, gave up eight hits and struck out seven in seven innings. Kyle Lohse (12-2) won his ninth straight decision, the most for St. Louis since Chris Carpenter won 13 in a row in 2005. Lohse pitched seven innings, allowing two runs, seven hits and two walks while striking out four. Ryan Franklin pitched the ninth for his 13th save in 17 opportunities. He gave up a run on consecutive doubles by Kevin Kouzmanoff and Chase Headley before retiring the next three batters, stranding the tying run at third base.
Mets 10, Reds 8 — David Wright's two-run homer in the ninth inning rallied New York to its 10th straight victory, a win over host Cincinnati that moved the once-languishing Mets back into first place in the NL East. Playing on the one-month anniversary of manager Willie Randolph's firing, the Mets blew three leads before coming full-circle with four runs in the ninth off closer Francisco Cordero (4-2). They were 61/2 games out when they changed managers, fearful that they were playing themselves out of contention with an underachieving offense. Their 10th straight win completed the turnaround — they're tied for first with Philadelphia, back in the top spot for the first time since April 19. Down to their last two outs, the Mets rallied against Cordero, who blew a save for the fifth time in 24 chances. Argenis Reyes singled, and Wright hit a tying homer to right field that barely eluded the glove of leaping Ken Griffey Jr. Carlos Delgado had a tie-breaking single off Cordero, smacking his hands and pumping his firsts as he rounded first base.
Rockies 5, Pirates 3 — Chris Iannetta homered and drove in three runs and Ubaldo Jimenez pitched seven strong innings to lead Colorado to a victory over visiting Pittsburgh. Jeff Baker was 2-for-3 with two doubles and two runs for the Rockies, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Brian Fuentes struck out the side in the ninth for his 15th save this season and 100th of his career.
