LOS ANGELES — Yasiel Puig homered twice and drove in five runs in his second major league game, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rally for a 9-7 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
The 22-year-old Cuban defector made a curtain call from the top of the dugout steps after his second homer, a two-run shot with two outs in the sixth, when the Do dgers scored three runs to snap a 6-all tie.
PHILLIES 7, MARLINS 3 (11)
PHILADELPHIA — John Mayberry Jr. hit a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning after his tying homer in the 10th, and the Phillies beat the Marlins.
Mayberry tied it off Steve Cishek in the 10th after Juan Pierre scored on a wild pitch in the top of the inning.
Domonic Brown reached on a fielding error by pitcher Edgar Olmos (0-1) with one out in the 11th and advanced on pinch-hitter Kyle Kendrick’s sacrifice. After Freddy Galvis was intentionally walked, Erik Kratz walked to load the bases.
Mayberry followed with a line-drive homer to left.
D’BACKS 7, CARDS 6 (14)
ST. LOUIS — Paul Goldschmidt hit a run-scoring single in the 14th inning to lift the Diamondbacks over the Cardinals for their third win in four games.
Goldschmidt drove in Gerardo Parra with a one-out, line-drive single up the middle off Victor Marte (0-1), who walked two batters before the winning hit.
BRAVES 5, PIRATES 4 (10)
ATLANTA — Andrelton Simmons hit a game-ending double off Mark Melancon in the 10th inning, lifting the Braves to a win over the Pirates.
Melancon (1-1) walked Dan Uggla to open the 10th. B.J. Upton struck out after fouling off an attempted sacrifice bunt. Melancon then hit pinch-hitter Reed Johnson with a pitch, and Simmons sent a long fly ball to the gap in right-center.
ROCKIES 5, REDS 4
CINCINNATI — Troy Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning — a call changed after the umpires initially ruled fan interference — and the Rockies held on for a victory that ended their streak of six consecutive losses to the Reds.
A fan with a glove in left field reached and grabbed Tulowitzki’s fly ball off Sam LeCure (1-1). The umpires initially ruled fan interference, but changed the call and awarded Tulowitzki his 13th homer after reviewing video that showed the ball had cleared the wall.
NATIONALS 3, METS 2
WASHINGTON — Steve Lombardozzi’s sacrifice fly in the ninth gave the Nationals their first late-inning comeback win of the season, capping a two-run rally for a victory over the Mets.
Against closer Bobby Parnell (4-2), Ryan Zimmerman led off the ninth with a double to right-center, barely beating the tag at second, and then advanced to third on a wild pitch.
Adam LaRoche singled Zimmerman home to tie it. Ian Desmond doubled to left-center and Roger Bernadina was intentionally walked to load the bases with none out for Lombardozzi, whose fly ball down the left-field line was more than sufficient to score LaRoche.

Pat Neshek (1-1) took over in the bottom of the 10th and retired Ryan Braun on a grounder to third before Aramis Ramirez blooped an 0-2 pitch into short left and was replaced by pinch-runner Jeff Bianchi.
