Dodgers end Young streak

Robinson, who played for the then-Brooklyn Dodgers, broke the colour line in baseball on April 15, 1947, and ceremonies across the country, including one pre-game at Dodger Stadium, remembered him.

The Dodgers needed only three innings to knock out Young, who was 9-0 with 16 no-decisions in a run stretching back to June 2005.

Andre Ethier homered and drove in four runs as the Dodgers pounded out 13 hits to improve to 8-4, seven of the hits coming against Young.

Russell Martin and Wilson Valdez had three hits each for the Dodgers, who also stole five bases and had six doubles. Randy Wolf struck out six and gave up three runs in six innings to gain the victory.

Young walked five batters and struck out two. He walked three in the second inning and gave up four consecutive hits to start the third inning before leaving the game with the Dodgers 5-1 ahead.

Luis Gonzalez's run-scoring single gave Los Angeles a first-inning run.

Valdez doubled home a run in the second and another scored on a fielder's choice before Ethier made it 5-1 with a two-run single to deep right field in the third. His home run, a two-run shot, came in the eighth.

Albert Pujols homered twice and drove in five runs to lift the St. Louis Cardinals to their first home win of the season, a 10-2 drubbing of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Kyle Lohse struck out 12 and pitched out of a sixth-inning jam to help the Cincinnati Reds shut out the Chicago Cubs 1-0 despite getting only two hits in the road win.

The Atlanta Braves ended a two-game skid with an 8-4 home win over the Florida Marlins, with Chipper Jones hitting a three-run homer in a five-run third inning.

Tony Clark's two home runs powered the Arizona Diamondbacks to their ninth win of the season, a 6-4 home victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Four games -- the San Francisco at Pittsburgh doubleheader, Houston at Philadelphia and Washington at the New York Mets -- were postponed because of storm on the East Coast.
