MLB: Johnson on song for Arizona

Kelly Johnson broke a seventh-inning tie with his second career grand slam and the Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen barely hung on for a 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Raul Ibanez hit a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves, and pinch-hitter Scott Hairston hit a tie-breaking home run off All-Star closer Brian Wilson in the ninth inning, leading the New York Mets past the San Francisco Giants 5-2.
David Ortiz homered in Boston's eight-run first inning, then got into a bench-clearing brawl with Baltimore reliever Kevin Gregg as the Red Sox routed the Orioles 10-3, and Luke Hughes' three-run homer capped a six-run fourth Friday night and the Minnesota Twins continued their mastery of the Chicago White Sox, rallying for an 8-5 victory.
Travis Snider drove in five runs and Rajai Davis knocked in four as the Toronto Blue Jays rebounded a day after a stunning loss to beat the Cleveland Indians 11-7, while Hanley Ramirez continued his recent torrid hitting with three hits and three RBIs and Javier Vazquez pitched seven solid innings as the Florida Marlins defeated the Houston Astros 6-3.
Magglio Ordonez's two-run home run just six pitches into the game staked Rick Porcello to an early lead and got the Detroit Tigers rolling toward a 6-4 victory over Kyle Davies and the reeling Kansas City Royals.
Mark Kotsay hit a two-out, two-run single in the ninth off Reds closer Francisco Cordero and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied twice to beat Cincinnati 8-7, and Chad Billingsley scattered four hits over eight innings and Rafael Furcal singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Mike McKenry's first major league home run, a three-run shot in the eighth inning, lifted Pittsburgh to a 7-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs,
C.J. Wilson allowed four runs and five hits with eight strikeouts, and got early support from Mike Napoli's first-inning grand slam off Gio Gonzalez as the Rangers stretched their winning streak to five games with an 8-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Jason Hammel pitched into the seventh inning for his second win in 13 starts and the Colorado Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 to end a five-game losing streak.
Mark Trumbo led off the ninth with a tie-breaking homer, and Hank Conger hit a tying homer in the seventh inning of the Los Angeles Angels' 12th win in 15 games, 4-3 over the Seattle Mariners.
The clash between Tampa Bay and the New York Yankees was postponed because of the weather.
