The Giants stopped a skid that matched its longest of the season, and avoided the club's first winless homestand of at least seven games in the 15-year history of AT&T Park. The Pirates, who had won three in a row, led 5-4 in the sixth when Chris Stewart drew a one-out walk with runners on second and third. Machi (6-0) got the ball back from the catcher and noticed Travis Snider had left second base, thinking it was a bases-loaded walk. Machi threw to shortstop Brandon Crawford to trap Snider in a rundown. Crawford tagged out Snider, then threw to Machi to catch Gaby Sanchez in a rundown when he broke home from third. Machi tossed back to third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the tag. Justin Wilson (3-2) took the loss. Santiago Casilla, San Francisco's fifth reliever after Tim Lincecum's short start, earned his eighth save in 11 chances. Dodgers 3, Braves 2, 10 innings At Los Angeles, Matt Kemp singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 13 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves for their season-best fifth straight victory. Kemp scored the Dodgers' first two runs of the game, including his 11th homer leading off the second. Padres 12, Cardinals 1 At San Diego, rookie Jesse Hahn held St. Louis to one run and four hits in seven innings and Jedd Gyorko and Will Venable each homered and drove in four runs to lead San Diego. Yangervis Solarte, obtained from the New York Yankees in the trade for Chase Headley, had four hits and the Padres tied their season high with 16. The Padres fell one run shy of their season high. Nationals 4, Marlins 3 At Miami, Tanner Roark won his fourth consecutive start and Washington averted a series sweep by snapping Miami's six-game winning streak. Mets 11, Phillies 2 At New York, Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer to back up Zack Wheeler's sixth straight strong start, and New York routed Philadelphia. Diamondbacks 5, Reds 4 At Cincinnati, Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer that kept Alfredo Simon winless since the All-Star game, and Arizona held on to take a series between two teams struggling to score runs. Rockies 6, Cubs 4 At Chicago, Brandon Barnes hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 10th inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs. Colorado loaded the bases on two walks and Michael McKenry's third hit of the game before Barnes singled with one out against Wesley Wright (0-2). Drew Stubbs then scored on a wild pitch, helping the Rockies stop a three-game slide. American League Indians 2, Mariners 0 At Cleveland, Corey Kluber pitched a three-hitter for his first career shutout, outdueling Felix Hernandez and leading the Cleveland Indians over Seattle. Kluber (11-6) gave three singles, struck out eight and walked none. Hernandez (11-3) didn't allow a runner until Carlos Santana drew a leadoff walk in the fifth. Yan Gomes delivered a two-run double later in the inning. Hernandez gave up four hits in seven innings. He has allowed two runs or fewer and pitched at least seven innings in 14 consecutive starts, a major league record. Astros 8, Athletics 1 At Houston, Dallas Keuchel pitched a four-hitter and Robbie Grossman homered to cap a six-run first inning that sent the Houston Astros over Oakland. Keuchel (10-7) threw his fourth complete game of the season, tying Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw for the major league lead. Keuchel struck out five and walked three. Josh Donaldson hit his 23rd homer for Oakland's only run. Jason Hammel (0-4) remained winless in four starts since the A's acquired him with pitcher Jeff Samardzija from the Cubs earlier this month. Hammel was 8-5 before the trade. Orioles 4, Angels 3 At Baltimore, Kevin Gausman pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Adam Jones homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels for their seventh win in nine games. Gausman (5-3) retired his first 14 batters he faced. Darren O'Day struck out two in a perfect eighth and Zach Britton gave up a single in the ninth before earning his 21st save. Tigers 7, White Sox 2 At Detroit, Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, and the Detroit Tigers scored six runs in the first inning to beat the Chicago White Sox. Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 1 At Boston, Mark Buehrle pitched 62/3 innings to earn his first win in almost two months and Dioner Navarro had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Toronto Blue Jays over Boston for their fifth consecutive victory. Rangers 3, Yankees 2 At Arlington, Texas, Colby Lewis retired his final 13 batters in seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers clinched their first series victory in a month, beating the New York Yankees. Royals 3, Twins 2 At Kansas City, Mo., Salvador Perez triggered a go-ahead rally with a double in the sixth inning and made several spectacular plays behind the plate, helping the Kansas City Royals top Minnesota. Interleague Brewers 5, Rays 0 At St. Petersburg, Fla., Yovani Gallardo gave up four hits in seven innings, Martin Maldonado tied a career high with four RBIs and the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers avoided a three-game sweep by beating David Price and Tampa Bay.
