CINCINNATI — Ken Griffey Jr.'s first home run for Cincinnati began a comeback from a six-run deficit and helped overcome Sammy Sosa's second homer of the series as the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 8-7 in 11 innings Sunday.
Matt Karchner (0-1) walked Griffey in the 11th, and third baseman Shane Andrews threw away Hal Morris' bunt, sending Griffey home with the tying run. Alex Ochoa won it with a single.
Danny Graves (2-0) won despite giving up Damon Buford's RBI single in the top of the 11th.
DIAMONDBACKS 1, PIRATES 0: At Phoenix, Randy Johnson (2-0) pitched a five-hitter, struck out 13 and walked none to beat Jason Schmidt (0-2).
Johnson got his 26th career shutout and 69th complete game. He has 127 double-digit strikeout games in his career, including both of his starts this season.
Steve Finley singled with one out in the seventh, took third on Travis Lee's bloop single to center and scored on Lenny Harris' sacrifice fly.
BRAVES 9, GIANTS 3: At Atlanta, Bobby Bonilla had his first three-RBI game since May 6, 1998. Bonilla hit a solo homer in the fifth inning for a 3-2 lead and added a two-run single in the sixth that chased starter Russ Ortiz (0-1).
Tom Glavine (1-0) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings, striking out six.
MARLINS 7, ROCKIES 6: At Miami, Preston Wilson hit a controversial home run and Mike Lowell drove in four runs with a three-run double in the fifth and a solo homer in the eighth.
Wilson's two-run homer down the left-field line off Pedro Astacio (0-2) in the first inning appeared to be foul by about six feet. But third-base umpire John Shulock, in his first series at Pro Player Stadium, called the ball fair.
EXPOS 2, PADRES 1: At Montreal, Hideki Irabu (1-1) allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings in his first appearance against the team he refused to play for in 1997. Ugueth Urbina pitched the ninth for his second save.
Lee Stevens hit a game-tying single in the sixth off Brian Boehringer (0-1), who forced in the go-ahead run by walking Trace Coquillette with the bases loaded.
CARDINALS 11, BREWERS 2: At St. Louis, Rookie Rick Ankiel (1-0), making his sixth career start, had a career-high 10 strikeouts in six innings. Mark McGwire led a six-homer attack with his second long ball in as many days.
McGwire's three-run homer off Valerio de los Santos (0-1) in the first was the 1,500th hit of his career. Craig Paquette, Jim Edmonds, Edgar Renteria, Shawon Dunston and J.D. Drew also homered for the Cardinals.
Drew's two-run shot in the eighth appeared to be several inches foul, and Milwaukee manager Davey Lopes argued with third-base umpire C.B. Bucknor to no avail.
PHILLIES 3, ASTROS 2: At Houston, Mickey Morandini's two-out RBI single off Jay Powell (0-1) rallied Philadelphia.
Steve Schrenk (1-1) got five outs for the win. The Astros loaded the bases in the eighth before Wayne Gomes got Daryle Ward to ground out. Gomes finished for his second save.
Shane Reynolds couldn't protect a 2-0 lead for Houston.
DODGERS AT METS, ppd: An unusual spring snowstorm forced postponement of Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.
The game was rescheduled as a night game on April 24.
