NEW YORK (AP) — David Wright singled off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the New York Mets to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night that preserved R.A. Dickey’s 11-game winning streak.

Mets catcher Josh Thole prevented a run in the eighth when he held on to the ball despite being barreled over at home plate by Mike Fontenot. Daniel Murphy lined a shot off Papelbon’s leg for the tying run with two outs in the ninth, setting the stage for Wright.

Ike Davis began the ninth with a double off Papelbon (2- 3). Thole sacrificed pinch-runner Ronny Cedeno to third before Kirk Nieuwenhuis struck out. Papelbon then hit Jordany Valdespin with a 3-2 pitch and walked Ruben Tejada on a full-count to load the bases.

Marlins 4, Brewers 0

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carlos Lee doubled and scored in his Miami debut, Mark Buerhle struck out a season-best eight over 7.2 innings and the Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers to split the four-game series.

Lee, acquired in a trade with the Houston Astros on Wednesday, started at first base.

Buehrle (8-8) allowed only six hits to the Brewers, who had produced 25 runs the previous three games. The left-hander was challenged in the fourth when Milwaukee had runners at the corners with two outs, but he struck out Rickie Weeks to end the threat. The Brewers failed to advance a runner to third the rest of the way.

Pirates 2, Astros 0

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jeff Karstens scattered four hits over eight innings and the surging Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the Houston Astros.

Karstens (2-2) struck out a season-high eight against just one walk as the Pirates completed their first four-game sweep of the Astros at home since 1979. Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth to record his 22nd save.

Nationals 6, Giants 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bryce Harper scored the winning run when first baseman Brandon Belt couldn’t dig out a short-hop throw on a potential double-play ball in the ninth, and the Washington Nationals completed a sweep with a win over the San Francisco Giants on a night of fond memories of the 1924 World Series.

It was throwback night in the nation’s capital, and the “Senators” topped the “New York Giants” with a two-run rally off Santiago Casilla (2- 4). The NL East leaders recovered from a four-run deficit and have won four straight and seven of nine.

Braves 7, Cubs 3

ATLANTA (AP) — Jason Heyward and Brian McCann each hit a two-run homer in the first inning, helping Mike Minor and the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs.

Freddie Freeman and Juan Francisco also connected for Atlanta, which salvaged a split of the four-game series. Minor (5-6) held the Cubs without a hit until the fifth and gave up three runs, two earned, and three hits in 6.1 innings overall.

Cardinals 6, Rockies 2

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lance Lynn struck out seven in six shutout innings, and the Cardinals got two RBIs apiece from Matt Holliday and Carlos Beltran.

St. Louis has won four of its last five and 11 of 14 against Colorado. Jason Motte came on with two on and two out in the ninth and retired Carlos Gonzalez on a grounder for his 19th save in 23 opportunities.

Padres 2, Reds 1

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Everth Cabrera hit a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to give the San Diego Padres a win over the Cincinnati Reds.
