FRIDAY’S RESULTS

Dodgers 8, Nationals 5:

J.D. Martinez homered and drove in three runs in his return from the injured list, Freddie Freeman set a Dodgers record with his 53rd double of the season, and Los Angeles beat host Washington. Max Muncy and Kiké Hernandez had solo shots for Los Angeles, which reduced its magic number in the NL West to eight.

Diamondbacks 1, Cubs 0: Zac Gallen pitched a three-hitter for his second career complete game and first since 2021, helping Arizona beat host Chicago for its fourth win in five games.

Braves 8, Pirates 2: Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the seventh time in 11 games, Eddie Rosario went deep and drove in three runs and major league-leading Atlanta beat visiting Pittsburgh. The Braves (92-48) have won two straight following a three-game skid. Atlanta took a 4-0 lead in the third on soft hits — Rosario’s RBI single, Travis d’Arnaud’s two-run single and Orlando Arcia’s RBI single. Arcia had the hardest-hit single at 83.1 mph. D’Arnaud’s dropped in front of left fielder Jack Suwinski at 71 mph.

Cardinals 9, Reds 4: Willson Contreras hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Luken Baker added a three-run double and visiting St. Louis dropped Cincinnati 11 games back for the NL’s final wild-card berth.

Marlins 3, Phillies 2: Jacob Stallings hit a two-run home run, Jesús Sánchez also went deep and Miami beat host Philadelphia. Bryan De La Cruz added a pair of hits for Miami, a halfgame behind Arizona for the third and final wild-card spot in the National League. The Marlins have won seven of eight.

Giants 9, Rockies 7: Host San Francisco scored twice on basesloaded walks in the bottom of the eighth and Camilo Doval finally closed it out in the ninth for the Giants.
