Rockies Double Up Padres – MLB Roundup For July 9th

UNDATED (AP) — Cincinnati's Homer Bailey, who authored his second career no-hitter last time out, didn't get out of the sixth inning in his encore performance and was the losing pitcher in the Reds' 4-3 loss to Milwaukee. Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez saved the game by robbing Joey Votto of a two-run home run by reaching over the center field wall for the final out at Miller Park.

Bailey gave up 10 hits and four runs in five and two-thirds innings. He fell to 5-7. Nobody since Johnny Vander Meer in 1938 has thrown back-to-back no-hitters.

Jonathan Lucroy hit his 11th homer for the Brewers. It was his third homer in three games. Kyle Lohse (lohsh) pitched into the seventh and improved to 5-6 with the win.

In the rest of the NL:

__ The New York Mets outlasted the San Francisco Giants 4-3 in a 16-inning marathon at AT&T Park. The game took five hours, 26 minutes. Eric Young Jr. scored the winning run on shortstop Brandon Crawford's error on a grounder in the top of the 16th.

__ The L.A. Dodgers beat Arizona 6-1 to move within three and a-half games of the NL West-leading Diamondbacks. Zack Greinke (GREHN'-kee) pitched seven shutout innings, striking out seven. He and two relievers combined on a four-hitter.

— Atlanta outlasted Miami 7-1 in 14 innings. Justin Upton's two-run double in the 14th was the big hit for the Braves, who now have a five-game lead in the NL East. The Braves won despite not having a hit between the seventh and 13th innings.

— Ex-National John Lannan had a sterling performance at the expense of his former team. The Philadelphia southpaw held the Washington Nationals to four singles over eight innings in pitching the Phils to a 3-2 victory. Jonathan Papelbon gave up two runs in the ninth before earning his 19th save.

__ Colorado doubled up San Diego 4-2. Tyler Chatwood took a shutout into the seventh and improved to 5-2. The Rockies have won nine of 11 from the Padres this year.

Over in the AL:

— Ian Kinsler capped a six-run sixth inning with a bases-loaded double, and the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-5 in a rematch of last year's AL wild-card game. The victory moves the Rangers 15 games over .500.

— Yunel Escobar and Ben Zobrist homered during a three-run seventh inning and the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4. The Rays have won nine of 10.

__ Detroit doubled up Cleveland 4-2 in 10 innings to take three of four in their wraparound weekend series. Max Scherzer, the 13-0 starter for the Tigers, pitched seven innings of two-run ball but was not involved in the decision. Victor Martinez hit a two-run double in the 10th. Detroit leads Cleveland by three and a-half games.

__ Kansas City outscored the New York Yankees 5-1. That's the 17th time the Yanks have scored one run or less this season. That happened 18 times all last year.

__ Seattle trounced Boston 11-4. The 41-year-old Raul Ibanez (rah-OOL'ih-BAHN'-yehz) hit his 22nd home run for the Mariners. He has nine homers in his last 17 games. Felix Hernandez improved to 9-4.

— In interleague action, Oakland edged Pittsburgh 2-1, knocking the Pirates a half-game back of idle St. Louis in the NL Central race. Bartolo Colon (bar-TOH'-loh koh-LOHN') allowed one run over seven innings as the Athletics won for the ninth time in their past 12 games. The 40-year-old Colon improved to 12-3.

__ In the Windy City rivalry, the Cubs erupted with five runs in the eighth inning and beat the White Sox 8-2. Alfonso Soriano hit his 13th home run, and scored four runs. Matt Garza pitched seven strong innings to improve to 5-1, increasing trade rumors that the Cubs might move him before the trade deadline the end of the month.

NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 33 homers, will be one of eight participants in the Home Run Derby next Monday night during All-Star festivities at Citi Field.

Davis was chosen by American League captain Robinson Cano (kuh-NOH') of the New York Yankees. They will be joined on the AL squad by Detroit Tigers bopper Prince Fielder, who won the event last year and in 2009, and a player to be named.

New York Mets star David Wright, the National League captain, selected 20-year-old Washington phenom Bryce Harper along with Colorado outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer (kuh-DY'-ur).

UNDATED (AP) — Phillies slugger Ryan Howard needs surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and will miss at least six to eight weeks.

An MRI Monday confirmed the tear in his knee. A date for surgery hasn't been set.

The three-time All-Star was hitting .266 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs. He was noticeably limping during games before he was placed on the disabled list Saturday.
