PITTSBURGH – CC Sabathia pitched a one-hitter in his latest dominating start, allowing the Pirates only an infield single by Andy LaRoche in the fifth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat Pittsburgh 7-0 Sunday for their eighth victory in nine games.

Sabathia (9-0) pitched the majors’ fourth one-hitter this season and couldn’t have come much closer to a no-hitter, with no Pirates batter except for LaRoche coming close to a hit.

The Pirates were held to four fly ball outs and had only several hard-hit balls during their 10th consecutive loss.

Sabathia’s 9-0 record since being dealt by Cleveland to Milwaukee on July 7 matches Doyle Alexander’s 9-0 with Detroit in 1987 as the best of any pitcher traded at midseason in the last 90 seasons.

Sabathia got the only run he needed when Ricky Weeks led off the game with his 11th homer, on a 3-2 pitch by Jeff Karstens.

Phillies 5, Cubs 3

CHICAGO – Jayson Werth hit another home run against the Chicago Cubs and 45-year-old Jamie Moyer got his 12th win, helping Philadelphia salvage a split of their four-game series at Wrigley Field.

Werth hit a two-run double in the first and a solo drive in the fifth for his 21st homer of the season. Werth, who went deep twice and drove in four runs in Philly’s 5-2 win Saturday, is 11-for-21 with four homers and 10 RBIs against the Cubs this season.

Moyer (12-7), who started his career with the Cubs in 1986, gave up eight hits and two runs in 5 1-3 innings, and the Phillies bullpen worked its way out of a couple of jams.

Nationals 8, Braves 4

WASHINGTON – Aaron Boone failed to lay down a sacrifice, then slammed a three-run, eighth-inning home run to lift Washington to its season-high sixth straight win.

Called on to bunt after a single by Ryan Zimmerman and a walk to Elijah Dukes, Boone popped Elmer Dessens’ first offering foul. Boone sent the next pitch from Dessens (0-1) into the left-field bullpen for his sixth homer, his first since May 27.

Boone finished with four RBIs and Washington went on to score five times in the eighth, sending 11 men to the plate. It’s the Nationals’ longest winning streak since a 10-game run from June 2-12, 2005.

Mets 6, Marlins 2

MIAMI – Pedro Martinez pitched six innings for only his second victory since July 7, and New York homered three times to beat Florida.

Back-to-back home runs in the third inning by Nick Evans and David Wright put the Mets ahead to stay. Carlos Beltran added his 21st homer.

The first two batters to face Martinez scored, but those were the only runs he allowed. Martinez (5-3) gave up seven hits but only one walk.

Scott Olsen (6-9) gave up six runs in 6 1-3 innings and fell to 0-5 in eight starts since July 19.

Reds 9, Giants 3

CINCINNATI – Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with four RBIs, Bronson Arroyo turned in another impressive start and the Reds beat San Francisco to complete their first three-game sweep of the Giants at home in 14 years.

Arroyo also doubled in two runs and Jeff Keppinger scored three times for Cincinnati, which has won three straight for the first time since July.

Arroyo (13-10), who also recorded his first career stolen base, allowed two runs and 10 hits in seven innings to win his third straight start. He has allowed just four runs in his last 23 innings.

Astros 3, Cardinals 0

HOUSTON – Ty Wigginton hit his 12th home run of August and four Astros pitchers combined to shut out St. Louis.

Houston swept the three-game series with the Cardinals and has won five straight. The Astros finished 21-9 for the month, third best record in the National League behind Chicago and Milwaukee.

Starter Wandy Rodriguez (8-6) left after 5 2-3 innings with a strained right oblique muscle. Club officials said he is day-to-day.

Padres 2, Rockies 1

SAN DIEGO – Trevor Hoffman blew the save after a terrific outing by Jake Peavy but Luis Rodriguez singled in the winning run in the ninth to give San Diego a victory over Colorado.

Peavy had a season-high 13 strikeouts over eight shutout innings but Hoffman (3-6) surrendered a pinch-hit RBI single to Chris Iannetta that tied it at 1. Hoffman, the career leader with 551 saves, has four blown saves this season.

Rookie Will Venable led off the bottom half with a base hit against Taylor Buchholz (6-4) and advanced to third on Brian Giles’ one-out single. Rodriguez followed with his winning hit.
