CINCINNATI – Jason Lane homered twice, driving in a career-high five runs for Houston, and Roy Oswalt improved to 13-0 against the Reds with an 11-2 victory Friday night, the Astros’ biggest offensive splurge of the season.

The Astros won their 12th straight game against Cincinnati, a streak that began last July 31 and has been helped mightily by Oswalt (2-1), who regularly bedazzles the Reds’ free-swinging lineup.

Oswalt gave up five hits in seven innings, joining Pedro Martinez as the only pitchers in the majors to go 13-0 against an opponent. Martinez has won all of his decisions against Seattle.

Lane hit a two-run homer and a three-run shot off Paul Wilson (0-1), who has failed to win any of his three tries at the top of the rotation. The Astros scored more than five runs for the first time this season, a welcome outburst for a pitcher who spent the week trying to get healthy.

Oswalt also beat the Reds 5-2 last Sunday in Houston, going seven innings to complete a three-game sweep. He then came down with a virus that has made the rounds, but wasn’t about to let it cost him another chance to face the Reds.

Braves 11, Phillies 4

PHILADELPHIA – Raul Mondesi and Rafael Furcal each hit two home runs, Adam LaRoche added a two-run shot and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-4 Friday night.

Furcal went 3-for-4 and scored four runs, and Brian Jordan had a three-run double to help Atlanta snap a two-game losing streak and get the Braves off to a good start on their seven-game road trip.

Cardinals 3, Brewers 0

MILWAUKEE – Jeff Suppan took a five-hitter into the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals spoiled Ben Sheets’ record payday with a 3-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.

Sheets, a two-time All-Star, signed a $38.5 million, four-year contract with the Brewers before the game, the richest deal in team history.

Suppan (1-1) earned his third straight victory at Miller Park. He came in with a 7-2 career record in 11 appearances against the Brewers.

Mets 4, Marlins 0

NEW YORK – Aaron Heilman threw a one-hitter for his first complete game, and Mike Piazza broke out of a slump with three RBIs to lead the New York Mets over the Florida Marlins 4-0 for their fifth straight victory.

Piazza doubled twice off Josh Beckett, who did not allow a run in his first two starts this season.

But Heilman (1-1) outpitched the 2003 World Series MVP, giving up just an infield single to Luis Castillo in the fourth to help the Mets even their record after an 0-5 start.

Giants 13, Rockies 6

DENVER – Pedro Feliz hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high five runs, Noah Lowry pushed his undefeated streak to 22 games and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 13-6 on Friday night.

Marquis Grissom hit a two-run homer and had three hits, J.T. Snow was 3-for-5 and drove in two runs, and San Francisco had 17 hits for its first road victory.

after opening with consecutive losses in Los Angeles. Every starter had a hit and scored a run for the Giants, who have four of their five wins against Colorado.
