Werth's 3 home runs and 8 RBIs spur Phils The Asssociated Press PHILADELPHIA -- Jayson Werth homered in his first three at-bats and tied a Philadelphia Phillies record with eight RBIs in a 10-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. Werth had a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game in the seventh inning. But with most of the 36,600 fans still in the stands despite the lopsided score and brisk weather, he fouled out to first base on a 3-2 pitch off Brian Tallet. The homers and eight RBIs were career highs for Werth. He became the 18th Phillies player to record three homers in a game. Ryan Howard was the last to hit three, on Sept. 3, 2006. Royals 7, Marlins 6 At Miami, Brett Tomko pitched six innings for his first victory in nearly six weeks, and two unearned runs helped Kansas City extend its winning streak to five games. Reds 4, Indians 3 At Cincinnati, Adam Dunn homered and drew a tiebreaking walk with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, sending Cincinnati to its season-high fourth straight win. The Reds got homers from Brandon Phillips and Dunn, then won it after Joey Votto's double, a pair of walks from Jensen Lewis (0-2), and the full-count walk to Dunn. AT Baltimore, Luke Scott homered, Melvin Mora hit a tiebreaking double in the fifth inning and the Orioles won for the sixth time in seven games. NATIONAL LEAGUE Cubs 7, Pirates 4 At Chicago, Alfonso Soriano homered in his first two at-bats, Geovany Soto and Mark DeRosa went deep and the surging Cubs won for the seventh time in eight games.
