DENVER — Joc Pederson had three hits and three RBI, Matt Beaty doubled twice and drove in two, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied past the Colorado Rockies 10-5 to split their four-game series Sunday.
Kenta Maeda pitched into the fifth inning but didn’t figure in the decision. But he had a hand in the Dodgers’ first two runs, singling and scoring in the third and laying down a sacrifice that helped bring Kike Hernandez home in the fifth.
Dylan Floro (3-2) got two outs to pick up the win and Julio Urias helped keep the Rockies in check with three scoreless innings in relief.
The Dodgers finished their seven-game trip at 3-4.
REDS 8, CUBS 6: Eugenio Suarez ended his slump with Cincinnati’s longest homer of the season, Anthony DeSclafani pitched six scoreless innings and the Reds held on at home.
Phillip Ervin and Nick Senzel drove in two runs each, and Raisel Iglesias escaped with a six-out save despite allowing Jason Heyward’s three-run homer in the ninth. Kyle Schwarber also had a late connection for the Cubs.
PHILLIES 13, MARLINS 6: Bryce Harper homered and drove in four runs to help visiting Philadelphia end a streak of five consecutive losses to last-place Miami.
Harper hit run-scoring singles in the first and sixth innings, and a two-run homer in the eighth, his 15th. That gave him 199 career homers and 999 hits, and increased his average to .250.
BREWERS 2, PIRATES 1: Eric Thames homered leading off the eighth inning and Milwaukee won at home.
Thames, who entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth, blasted an 0-1 pitch from Pirates reliever Kyle Crick (3-4) to straightaway center, a 432-foot shot that hit just below the scoreboard.
GIANTS 10, DIAMONDBACKS 4: Kevin Pillar had four hits, including a homer, and drove in five runs, Madison Bumgarner pitched seven strong innings and San Francisco won at home.
Buster Posey had three hits, including a double, for the Giants, who split the four-game series.
CARDINALS 5, PADRES 3: Matt Wieters hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 11th inning, and St. Louis overcame a three-run deficit at San Diego to snap a five-game losing streak.
Wieters’ shot off Brad Wieck (0-1) reached the balcony on the fourth level of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in the left-field corner. It was his fourth and came with Kolten Wong aboard on an infield single.
METS 8, BRAVES 5: Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso had the big hits in a five-run eighth inning that rallied New York at home, snapping its seven-game losing streak.
Todd Frazier launched a long homer to begin the comeback, and finished with three hits and two RBI. McNeil and J.D. Davis also had three hits apiece for the Mets, who prevented a three-game sweep by the NL East leaders and won for only the fifth time in 18 games.

ROYALS 7, BLUE JAYS 6: Jorge Soler homered and had two RBI, Brad Keller pitched five innings to win for the first time since May 22 and Kansas City won at Toronto.
