NEW YORK -- Thanks to another stellar performance from Jacob deGrom and a big hit by newcomer Juan Uribe, the New York Mets did more than just stop Zack Greinke's streak Sunday.
Greinke's shutout string ended at 45 2/3 innings when the Mets scored the first of two runs against him, and New York defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Uribe's game-winning single off the wall in the 10th.
The hard-throwing deGrom outpitched Greinke in a marquee matchup that lived up to its billing, but Yasmani Grandal hit a tying single in the ninth as Los Angeles erased a two-run deficit against closer Jeurys Familia, who was trying for a four-out save.
Greinke allowed a run, his first since June 13, in the third on an RBI grounder by deGrom and another in the sixth when rookie Michael Conforto was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The right-hander's scoreless streak was the longest in the majors since Orel Hershiser set the big league record with 59 for the Dodgers in 1988.
"I think everyone appreciates that," Greinke said. "Maybe it will get broken. Five years ago or so, I thought that one and [Joe] DiMaggio's [56-game hitting] streak were the two toughest. But it looks like people are getting closer to the Hershiser one now. So maybe eventually it might happen."
Curtis Granderson led off the 10th with a double. Kenley Jansen relieved with one out and Uribe, acquired late Friday night in a trade with Atlanta, launched an 0-2 pitch off the left-center fence to beat his former team. Los Angeles traded Uribe to the Braves earlier this season.
PHILLIES 11, CUBS 5 Ryan Howard hit a home run for the second consecutive day, rookie Aaron Nola got his first major league victory and visiting Philadelphia completed a three-game series sweep. Maikel Franco also went deep as the Phillies collected 17 hits in their eighth victory in nine games since the All-Star break.
BRAVES 3, CARDINALS 2 Adonis Garcia's first career home run broke a tie and rookie Matt Wisler worked seven strong innings for visiting Atlanta. Wisler (5-1) allowed two runs and seven hits.
PIRATES 3, NATIONALS 1 Gerrit Cole became the majors' first 14-game winner for the host Pirates. Cole allowed 1 run and 7 hits in 7 2/3 innings while improving to 3-1 with a 2.40 ERA in four July starts. The right-hander struck out eight and walked none.
DIAMONDBACKS 3, BREWERS 0 Jeremy Hellickson threw six strong innings, Chris Owings drove in two runs with a pinch-hit, two-out double for the host Diamondbacks. Jake Lamb tripled, doubled, drove in a run and scored another for the Diamondbacks.
ROCKIES 17, REDS 7 Nolan Arenado, Ben Paulsen and Carlos Gonzalez each hit home runs in a 10-run third inning Sunday for the host Rockies. Paulsen finished with a career-high four hits that included a triple and two home runs. Gonzalez also had two home runs.
PADRES 3, MARLINS 2 Justin Upton hit a home run and Odrisamer Despaigne pitched six innings for the host Padres. Yonder Alonso also had two hits. The victory was San Diego's third in a row and Despaigne's first since beating the Pirates on May 31.
