MONDAY’S GAMES
Pirates 5, Dodgers 1: Jose Quintana pitched six scoreless innings for his first win since 2019 and the first victory by a Pittsburgh starting pitcher this season as the host Pirates beat Los Angeles. The Pirates ended a 16-game losing streak against the Dodgers dating to 2018 and snapped L.A.’s six-game winning streak. Quintana (1-1) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out five. His previous win came on Sept. 5, 2019 at Milwaukee while pitching for the Chicago Cubs. The veteran left-hander has been plagued by injuries and ineffectiveness in recent seasons, going 20 starts and 42 appearances between victories.
Reds 10, Brewers 5: Colin Moran homered in his third straight at-bat, Brandon Drury and Kyle Farmer each hit a three-run homer, and Cincinnati won two straight games for the first time this season, rallying past visiting Milwaukee.
Drury’s three-run homer in the fifth put the Reds ahead for good at 5-3. Farmer added insurance with his blast in the seventh that snapped an 0-for-34 skid. The Reds, baseball’s worst team at 6-23, bounced back after being swept in three games at Milwaukee last week by a combined score of 34-12.
Diamondbacks 4, Marlins 3: Ketel Marte hit a go-ahead solo homer, Daulton Varsho and Christian Walker each added two hits and host Arizona kept rolling with a win over slumping Miami. The Diamondbacks have won six of seven. The Marlins have dropped eight of nine and lead the majors in one-run losses with 10.
Giants 8, Rockies 5: Mauricio Dubon went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead San Francisco over visiting Colorado. Carlos Rodon pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs.
