ST. LOUIS (AP) — Allen Craig homered on a four-hit day that included three RBIs, and Matt Adams hit a three-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 Wednesday.

Jon Jay had three hits and a walk his first four trips to the plate. The Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep by the team with the best record in the major leagues.

Shelby Miller (3-2) worked around homers to Mark Reynolds and Carlos Gomez, allowing three runs and six hits in six-plus innings.

Milwaukee is 20-8, a franchise record for wins through the season’s first full first month.

Matt Garza (1-3) joined the lengthy list of injured Brewers when he was removed in the fourth inning because of a bruised right thumb.

Marlins 9, Braves 3

MIAMI (AP) — Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven innings and the Marlins scored nine runs off NL ERA leader Aaron Harang to beat the Braves.

Harang (3-2) gave up 10 hits in 4.2 innings, and his ERA rose from 0.85 to 2.97. The Marlins tied a season high with 15 hits, including seven for extra bases.

Marcell Ozuna hit a threerun homer, and Christian Yelich added his first home run of the year.

Giants 3, Padres 2

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Hudson and Sergio Romo combined on a fivehitter and the Giants beat the Padres.

Hudson (4-1) struck out six and didn’t walk a batter for the fourth time in five starts this season.

The three-time All-Star was one pitch from recording his first shutout in nearly two years before Yasmani Grandal’s two-out home run in the ninth.

Brandon Hicks homered and Michael Morse drove in his team-leading 20th RBI for the Giants, who finished 5-1 on their homestand.

Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4

Colorado led 4-0 after three innings behind Carlos Gonzalez’s two-run homer and pitcher Jordan Lyles’ leadoff shot in the third.

Arizona cut into the lead on Paul Goldschmidt’s solo homer in the eighth inning.

Addison Reed (1-2) stranded a runner at third in the 10th inning and Montero ended it with his first career walkoff hit, a towering homer to right off Tommy Kahnle (2-1).

Nolan Arenado extended his majors-best hitting streak to 20 games.
