Cardinals 2, PIRATES 1 -- At St. Louis, Chris Carpenter took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and combined with two relievers on a one-hitter.
Carpenter didn't allow a hit until Ramon Vazquez singled just under the glove of second baseman Skip Schumaker with two outs in the seventh. Schumaker made a poor throw to second on a potential inning-ending double play the previous at-bat, nearly pulling shortstop Khalil Greene off the bag on Brandon Moss' grounder and getting only a forceout.
Padres 4, Dodgers 3 -- At San Diego, Adrian Gonzalez's solo homer started a three-run rally in the eighth inning.Closer Heath Bell got out of a jam in the ninth and the Padres salvaged a split of their opening four-game series.
The Dodgers had been working on a combined three-hitter before Gonzalez's one-out, opposite-field homer.
Giants 7, Brewers 1 -- At San Francisco , Giants reliever Joe Martinez was hit in the head by Mike Cameron's line drive in the ninth inning, but was able to walk off the field.
Martinez, who made his major league debut Tuesday and was the winner in the opener, was struck near the right temple by Cameron's two-out liner.
Bengie Molina had two hits and four RBIs for the Giants .
