Mets 10, Nationals 5: At New York, Carlos Beltran homered and drove in four runs, and Carlos Delgado also connected for the Mets to help Pedro Martinez defeat Washington in his first start of the season.

The game was interrupted by a near fight in the fifth inning. Jose Guillen pointed his bat at Martinez and charged halfway to the mound after getting hit by a pitch for the second time in the game.

Guillen was corralled by plate umpire Ted Barrett and Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca as the benches and bullpens emptied. Players ran onto the field quickly, but no punches were thrown.

Cardinals 4, Phillies 2: At Philadelphia, St. Louis completed its sweep of Philadelphia as Jimmy Rollins’ hitting streak ended at 38 games.

Giants 6, Braves 4: At San Francisco, Pedro Feliz had a three-run double and Ray Durham added a two-run single during a six-run third to defeat Atlanta.

Reds 6, Pirates 5: At Cincinnati, Adam Dunn hit a 479-foot homer and followed with a disputed tie-breaking single in the eighth inning for Cincinnati as Pittsburgh fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1994 and only the sixth time in franchise history.

Diamondbacks 12, Rockies 5: At Denver, Arizona’s Miguel Batista matched a career high with 11 strikeouts in seven strong innings to defeat Colorado and win his first start in almost two seasons.
