TORONTO – Moises Alou hit a two-run triple and scored on a throwing error as Mark Prior and the Chicago Cubs ended the Toronto Blue Jays’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Saturday.

Carlos Delgado hit his major league-leading 22nd homer for the Blue Jays.

Alou tripled into the gap in right-center in the first inning and scored when second baseman Orlando Hudson’s relay throw hit him on the right arm and rolled into foul territory.

Prior (8-2) won his second consecutive start. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed two runs – none earned – on seven hits, striking out eight and walking two in 5 2-3 innings. It was the first time this season he failed to last at least six innings.

Dodgers 5, Indians 2

CLEVELAND – Andy Ashby got his first win this season as Dave Ross homered and drove in three runs Saturday, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to their fifth straight win, 5-2 over the Cleveland Indians.

The game also featured some heated trash talk between Cleveland’s Milton Bradley and Los Angeles’ Paul Lo Duca, who were wired with microphones for TV.

Ashby (1-4) had dropped his past eight decisions and hadn’t won since Aug. 18 last season. The right-hander gave up two runs and five hits in five innings.

Braves 3, Mariners 1

SEATTLE – Mike Hampton pitched two-hit ball into the eighth inning for his first victory in more than a month and the Atlanta Braves beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 Saturday.

The Braves snapped a seven-game winning streak by Seattle starter Jamie Moyer, who left with one out in the eighth after allowing an RBI double by Andruw Jones that made it 3-0. Gary Sheffield, who hit a one-out double, scored on the play.

John Smoltz, who took over with no outs and the bases loaded in the eighth, earned his major league-leading 26th save in 27 opportunities.

Yankees 13, Cardinals 4

NEW YORK – Jason Giambi hit a pair of two-run homers and Ruben Sierra and Raul Mondesi also connected as the New York Yankees roughed up the St. Louis Cardinals 13-4 on a rainy Saturday.

Hideki Matsui drove in four runs, three on a first-inning double that got the rout started.

Former Yankees star Tino Martinez did the only damage for the Cardinals, twice hitting two-run homers and drawing a big cheer from the crowd of 55,174 each time.

Brewers 8, Orioles 3

BALTIMORE – Richie Sexson hit his 21st homer and nearly started a brawl after being hit by a pitch in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 8-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.

After connecting off Jason Johnson in the first inning, Sexson was struck by the first pitch from the right-hander in the third. The slugger took a few steps toward the mound and yelled at Johnson while being restrained by Orioles catcher Brook Fordyce.

Although dozens of players congregated near the mound, no punches were thrown. Both teams were warned and there was no more trouble.

Athletics 5, Expos 4

OAKLAND, Calif. – Scott Hatteberg hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, and Eric Byrnes also homered as the Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the Montreal Expos 5-4 on Saturday.

With the A’s trailing 3-2, Mark Ellis was hit by a pitch leading off the eighth. Chris Singleton sacrificed and Byrnes singled, putting runners at the corners.

Hatteberg hit a 1-1 pitch from Luis Ayala (5-2) over the right-field fence for his first homer since May 4 at Yankee Stadium, a drought of 29 games and 121 at-bats. He has four this season.

Pirates 12, Devil Rays 9

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Aramis Ramirez drove in four runs with a three-run double and a homer, and the Pittsburgh Pirates held on to snap a six-game losing streak with a 12-9 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Saturday night.

Jack Wilson had four hits – three doubles – for Pittsburgh, which had season highs for runs and hits (17). The Pirates, who are off to their worst June start in more than a century (2-9), ended a seven-game skid on the road – barely.

The Devil Rays scored six runs in the ninth before Mike Williams got Carl Crawford, who had a sacrifice fly earlier in the inning, to hit a forceout to shortstop Jack Wilson with the bases loaded to end it.

Tigers 9, Rockies 7

DETROIT – Eric Munson hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning, helping the Detroit Tigers snap an eight-game losing streak with a 9-7 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

Warren Morris went 4-for-5 for the Tigers, who tied season highs for runs and hits (15).

Kevin Witt and Craig Monroe led off the sixth inning with singles, chasing Colorado starter Scott Elarton. Munson then hit Justin Speier’s third pitch into the right-field bullpen for his seventh homer of the season.

Giants 7, Royals 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Edgardo Alfonzo, who had only one RBI since May 21, drove in four runs to lead the San Francisco Giants over the Kansas City Royals 7-4 Saturday night.

Rich Aurilia had three hits and two RBIs for the Giants. Damian Moss (7-4), who has struggled since beginning the season 5-0, allowed three runs in 6 1-3 innings for his second win in seven starts.

The left-hander gave up five hits, struck out three and walked three. He gave up a two-run homer on an 0-2 pitch to Mike Sweeney in the sixth and was lifted after Angel Berroa homered with one out in the seventh.

White Sox 6, Padres 5

CHICAGO – Frank Thomas hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning, rallying the Chicago White Sox past the San Diego Padres 6-5 Saturday night.

Carlos Lee hit a three-run shot and Magglio Ordonez also homered for Chicago. Billy Koch retired Ryan Klesko on a flyball with the bases loaded to end it.

With the White Sox trailing 5-4 in the eighth, Padres reliever Jay Witasick (0-1) gave up a single to Tony Graffanino. Thomas followed by hitting 1-1 pitch into the left-field bullpen for a 6-5 lead.

Phillies 12, Reds 2

CINCINNATI – Bobby Abreu hit a two-run home run, and David Bell homered and had four RBIs during Philadelphia’s 10-run eighth inning as the Phillies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 12-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.

Randy Wolf (8-3), who has won his last three starts and five of his last six decisions, improved to 4-1 all-time against Cincinnati, including 2-0 this season.

One night after the Reds had 22 hits and 15 runs, Wolf limited the Reds to two hits and a run in seven innings. He allowed only Dunn to advance past second base while striking out seven and not walking a batter.

Rheal Cormier pitched a perfect eighth inning and Terry Adams gave up a run in the ninth. He allowed the Reds first hit since Jason LaRue’s double with two outs in the second.

The Reds (34-33) missed a chance to go three games over .500 for the first time this season and had their winning streak snapped at four games.

Dunn, who wasn’t in the original starting lineup before replacing the injured Ken Griffey Jr., led off Cincinnati’s first inning with his league-leading 22nd homer of the season and second leadoff homer of his career.

The Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the second when Jimmy Rollins scored on Wolf’s double-play grounder. Abreu followed with his ninth homer of the season, a line drive into the Phillies bullpen down the right-field line.

Those were the only two runs allowed in five innings by Graves (3-6), who was forced out of his last start after just three innings with a blister on his right middle finger. He gave up six hits while suffering his fourth loss in his last four starts. The Reds reported no problems with his finger.

The Phillies broke the game open while sending 13 batters to the plate during the eighth inning. Bell drove in four runs with a sacrifice fly and a three-run homer to match his career high for RBIs.

Notes: One day after they signed their top two draft picks, the Reds announced the signing of their fourth-round draft pick, Danville (Va.) high school outfielder Kenny Lewis … Griffey and Philadelphia’s Marlon Byrd both were scheduled to start in center field before being scratched from the original starting lineups. Griffey had a stiff right groin that manager Bob Boone didn’t want to risk after a pregame rainstorm. Byrd had weather-related problems getting back from his grandmother’s funeral in Atlanta. He arrived in time to pinch-run in the eighth inning.
