Brewers rock Hudson and Braves

ATLANTA - Corey Hart hit a three-run double in Milwaukee's five-run seventh, Chris Narveson outpitched Tim Hudson, and the Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves, 6-3, on Saturday night.

ATLANTA - Corey Hart hit a three-run double in Milwaukee's five-run seventh, Chris Narveson outpitched Tim Hudson, and the Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves, 6-3, on Saturday night.

Prince Fielder hit his 21st homer in the Brewers' big seventh and was hit by a pitch in the eighth, leading to ejections for Braves reliever Jonny Venters and manager Bobby Cox.

Venters threw a pitch over Fielder's head, then hit the stocky slugger on his back with his next offering. It was Cox's 156th ejection of his career, adding to his record, and third of the season.

Matt Diaz and Eric Hinske homered for Atlanta.

Narveson (8-6) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. John Axford recorded the final four outs for his 11th save.

Hudson (9-5) carried a 2-1 lead into the seventh inning but couldn't hold on for the win. Fielder led off with a drive to center on a 1-2 pitch. With two out, Rickie Weeks walked with the bases loaded to force in the tiebreaking run, and Hart greeted reliever Peter Moylan with a bases-clearing double.

Hudson allowed a season-high six runs in 62/3 innings. He also gave up six hits and walked four, including three in the seventh.

Cox rested lefthanded hitters Jason Heyward and Brian McCann and stocked his lineup with righties. The manager's strategy likely was influenced by lefty hitters' .204 batting average against Narveson.

Reds 8, Rockies 1

CINCINNATI - Edinson Volquez gave a throwback performance in his return from elbow surgery, allowing only three hits over six innings, and Cincinnati cracked four homers for a victory over Colorado.

Volquez (1-0) made it back ahead of schedule from surgery last Aug. 3 to rebuild his right elbow. The Reds' former ace pitched like one, striking out nine while hitting 95 m.p.h. with his fastball.

SAN DIEGO - Tony Gwynn Jr. hit another inside-the-park homer and Yorvit Torrealba drove in four runs to help San Diego defeat Arizona.

Torrealba's two-run shot gave the NL West leaders a 4-3 lead in the third inning. All-star slugger Adrian Gonzalez broke a 4-all tie with his 20th home run in the fifth, a solo shot.

Jerry Hairston Jr. also went deep for the Padres, who matched a season high with four home runs.
