Brave Renteria fires homer

After twice failing to bunt, Renteria lined a 2-2 fastball to the right-field seats, drawing groans from the home crowd as he and Kelly Johnson scored to break a 3-3 tie.

Renteria also hit a game-tying solo homer in the eighth. "Sometimes you put the ball in play and it goes out," Renteria said. "I got lucky."

Bob Wickman, the fourth of five Atlanta pitchers, got the win by working a scoreless ninth inning and Chad Paronto pitched the tenth for the save.

Braves starter John Smoltz lasted six innings, giving up three runs and eight hits while striking out seven.

"That's a game last year that we lost 75-80 percent of the time," third baseman Chipper Jones added. "Amazing things happen when you get people out in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings."

Atlanta took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on a two-run homer by catcher Brian McCann, who was 3-for-4 for the game.

But the Phillies chipped away with a single run in the fifth on Jimmy Rollins's home run and two runs in the sixth on RBI hits by Wes Helms and Aaron Rowand.

Renteria tied the game in the eighth and settled it with his homer in the tenth inning.

Ben Sheets retired 22 consecutive batters as he pitched the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-1 home win over the Los Angeles Dodgers with a two-hit, complete game.

Eric Byrnes' two-run single helped the Arizona Diamondbacks push across three runs in the eighth inning in an 8-6 come-from-behind road win in Colorado.

Two home runs from Adam Dunn lifted the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-1 home win over the Chicago Cubs.
