REDS 9, PADRES 5 CINCINNATI - San Diego's Greg Maddux, who is 0-5 with nine no-decisions since his 350th career victory, had another teasing day on the mound, watching his 3-2 lead vanish one pitch after he left the game.
Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer to put Cincinnati ahead, and Adam Dunn added a grand slam that let the Reds pull away to victory.

MIAMI - By the time Chipper Jones pulled up lame, the Atlanta Braves already had plenty of runs for Tim Hudson.
Then Hudson departed with a tender elbow.
Jones strained his left hamstring, and Hudson left after six innings with tightness in his right elbow, tempering the glow of the Braves' 9-4 victory last night over the Florida Marlins.
Jones, the major-league batting leader at .369, was hurt running out a groundout in the fourth inning and immediately left the game. It was an alarming development for a team that's 2-10 without Jones and struggling to stay in the East race.
Hudson's status is even more worrisome. He improved to 11-7, allowing only three hits and one walk, but departed after throwing just 68 pitches in six shutout innings.
Both players will be evaluated further, the team said. The Braves are off today before starting an important series tomorrow in Philadelphia.
Florida finished its homestand 3-3 and missed a chance to forge a three-way tie atop the NL East with the Phillies and the New York Mets.
Ricky Nolasco (10-6) allowed eight hits and five runs in five innings. He fell to 0-3 in three starts against Atlanta this year, with an ERA of 10.57. His ERA against all other teams is 3.10.

BREWERS 3, CARDINALS 0
ST. LOUIS - CC Sabathia threw a three-hitter, his third straight complete game for his new team, to lead Milwaukee past St. Louis.
Ryan Braun had four hits and J.J. Hardy hit his 14th homer for the Brewers, who have won seven straight. Milwaukee won the first three games of this four-game series by limiting the Cardinals to six runs.
The Brewers have homered in 19 straight games, tying the franchise record set in 1996.
Hardy, who is 8 for 14 in the series, hit his first homer since July 10 with one out in the fifth off Braden Looper (9-8) for the game's first run.
