ST. LOUIS - Andres Torres was so excited about his first career grand slam, he nearly passed Madison Bumgarner on the way to second base.
Bumgarner stuck out an arm for the stop sign and Torres applied the brakes in time, giving the National League's worst offense a big boost in the San Francisco Giants' 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
"I wasn't thinking, just running," Torres said. "When I saw it was out, I felt great."
Bumgarner won his second straight after losing his first six decisions and also played a big role at the plate in 90-degree heat with high humidity. The 21-year-old lefthander is from Hickory, N.C.
"This feels like home, it's what I grew up playing in," Bumgarner said. "I like this weather. It feels good to get out there and sweat a little bit."
Kyle McClellan (6-2) was knocked out after four innings in the worst outing of his first season in the Cardinals rotation, missing a chance to tie for the major-league victory lead. Albert Pujols hit his ninth homer and Allen Craig doubled twice with an RBI.
Cody Ross also homered for the Giants, who are last in the National League in runs even after this outburst and had been shut out twice the previous four games. Bumgarner, 4 for 19 at the plate, doubled and scored on Miguel Tejada's hit in the third, then walked on a full count ahead of Torres' second homer of the season in a five-run fourth.
"Walking the pitcher there killed me," McClellan said. "I get him out, that changes everything. Just all in all, not a good game."

ATLANTA - Pinch-hitter Kyle Phillips broke a 2-2 tie in the 10th inning with his first career home run as San Diego beat Atlanta for its third straight win.
Phillips, a rookie with a .167 average in 30 at-bats, led off the inning and hit the second pitch from George Sherrill (1-1).
Heath Bell pitched the 10th for his 13th save in 14 opportunities. Chad Qualls (3-2) earned the win with a scoreless ninth.
San Diego's Aaron Harang didn't earn a decision, but he was sharp, allowing six hits, two runs, and two walks with five strikeouts.

Reds 7, Brewers 3
CINCINNATI - Jay Bruce hit a three-run home run, and Travis Wood turned in six mostly solid innings as Cincinnati rebounded from a disastrous road trip with a win over Milwaukee.
Bruce tripled for the first time this season and finished a double short of the cycle as the Reds successfully opened a 10-day, nine-game homestand after a 2-8 trip.
The Brewers, who went 8-1 on their last homestand, saw their road record fall to a National League-worst 8-18 (.308), including 0-4 this season and 1-11 over the last two in Cincinnati.

Mets 7, Pirates 3
NEW YORK - Josh Thole hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, and the depleted New York Mets, playing with a makeshift lineup minus Jose Reyes, beat Pittsburgh.
Dillon Gee (5-0) pitched seven solid innings, striking out a career-high eight in the rookie's latest impressive outing, and New York had another productive day at the plate.
The Mets banged out a season-high 17 hits Sunday against the Phillies, then followed up with 15 against starter Charlie Morton and the Pirates.
This time, New York did its damage with only three regulars in the lineup for the opener of a four-game series. Reyes was placed on the bereavement list earlier in the day, and leftfielder Jason Bay was given a planned day off.

Dodgers 7, Rockies 1
LOS ANGELES - James Loney had three hits with a homer and three RBIs, Andre Ethier also drove in three runs, and Los Angeles defeated Colorado.
Chad Billingsley (4-4) allowed one run and a season-high 11 hits in seven innings, struck out eight, and walked two. The righthander improved to 2-2 in his sixth home start after his teammates produced the kind of run support that he had been lacking, getting just 1.29 runs - third-lowest in the majors - in his previous home games.
Ty Wigginton homered for Colorado as the Rockies fell to 2-10 on the road in May.

PHOENIX - Kelly Johnson homered twice and fell a single shy of the cycle, and steamrolling, first-place Arizona won its seventh straight.
Johnson, with a double and triple, tied a franchise record with four extra-base hits.
Justin Upton tied his career best by going 5 for 5 and Miguel Montero matched his career high with five RBIs as the Diamondbacks won for the 13th time in 14 games and 15th in their last 17.
