RESULTS

Arizona 4, at Washington 3: Chris Young hit a two-run single in the first inning, Orlando Hudson homered in the third and the Diamondbacks held off the Nationals. Arizona had a 4-0 lead by the third inning, and Edgar Gonzalez (1-0) and four relievers made it stand up. It helped that the Nationals went 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position. Jason Bergmann departed after giving up four runs in 3 2/3 innings. His problem was control, as he gave up six walks and five hits.

Atlanta 8, Philadelphia 4: Chuck James gave up one run in five innings, Kelly Johnson hit a two-run homer and the Braves completed a three-game sweep. Atlanta is 3-0 for the first time since opening with seven consecutive victories in 1994. James struck out five and gave up six hits. Adam Eaton gave up eight runs -- seven earned -- and seven hits over 4 2/3 innings in his first start since signing a $24.5-million, three-year contract.

at Cincinnati 5, Chicago 2: Michael Barrett’s passed ball allowed the tiebreaking run to score in the seventh and the Reds took two of three in their opening series. Bob Howry gave up pinch-hitter Jeff Conine’s single that tied it with two outs in the seventh, then walked Ryan Freel. Will Ohman came on and threw a wild pitch with Adam Dunn at the plate. Barrett then compounded the mistake by letting a low, sinking pitch deflect off the end of his mitt and skitter to the backstop. Scott Hatteberg added a two-run homer in the eighth off Scott Eyre.

at San Francisco 5, San Diego 3: Matt Morris pitched six strong innings for the win.
