He gave up only four hits to the Dodgers, one of them a fourth-inning homer by Andre Ethier. Carpenter is 6-0 in eight lifetime starts against Los Angeles.

Patrik Berglund tied it 6:24 into the third, also scoring on the power play.
Martin Biron made 35 saves for the Islanders, including five in overtime. New York has lost four out of five.

Cincinnati, Aug. 5: Justin Lehr threw a four-hit shutout in only his second career start Wednesday, giving the Cincinnati Reds a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

The unexpected sparkling performance allowed the Reds to snap an eight-game losing streak.

Lehr (1-0) spent three years in the bullpens of Milwaukee and Oakland beginning in 2004, but had not seen any major league action since 2006 until the Reds inserted him into their rotation last week.

He was not involved in a decision Friday against Colorado, but dominated the Cubs while striking out four and walking one.

Lehr did not give up a hit until the fourth and outdueled Chicago's Rick Harden, who was going after his third straight win.

Kansas City, Mo. June 19: Ryan Ludwick highlighted a six-run third inning with a grand slam homer Friday, igniting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-5 inter-league win over Kansas City.

Colby Rasmus had four of the 14 St. Louis hits, scored twice and also had two RBI. The Cardinals won for the third time in four games.

It was a 1-1 tie going into the third, but Kyle Davies (3-7) gave up two singles and an intentional walk to load the bases before Ludwick hit his homer to left. Both Rick Ankiel and Khalil Greene hit solo home runs later in the inning.

Greene was making his first start at third base since coming off the disabled list. He had been put on the DL suffering from a social anxiety disorder.

Cain (6-1) struck out five and allowed six hits before leaving with one on and one out in the seventh.

St. Louis did not manage a single base runner against three relievers, with Brian Wilson working the ninth for his 11th save.

Pablo Sandoval drove in the first two San Francisco runs with a first-inning single and the Giants scored twice more in the fourth when Fred Lewis tripled in a run. Lewis then came in on a single by Emmanuel Burriss.
