ST. LOUIS -- Raul Mondesi scored from second base in the 12th inning when St. Louis first baseman Pat Borders, playing there for the first time in his career, mishandled a ground ball for an error.

Cardinals reliever Dennis Eckersley (0-3) struck out the first two hitters in the 12th, before Mondesi doubled down the left-field line. After an intentional walk, Borders, who has played more than 700 games in his major league career at catcher, wasn't able to field Eric Karros' hard hit grounder.

NEW YORK -- Bobby Jones (3-1) allowed four hits in eight innings and rookie Butch Huskey hit his second homer of the season as the Mets snapped a four-game losing streak.

The Cubs' best threat came in the seventh inning. Mark Grace led off with a single, and went to third when second baseman Jose Vizcaino misplayed a grounder by Luis Gonzalez. Scott Servais then lined out to left fielder Bernard Gilkey, who easily threw out Grace at the plate.

PITTSBURGH -- Glenallen Hill doubled in the winning run in the 10th inning and homered as the Giants withstood Mark Johnson's four RBI.

Barry Bonds hit his major-leading 16th homer as the Giants lost a 4-1 lead on Johnson's three-run homer in the sixth before rallying against Francisco Cordova (0-2).

Bonds, only a .255 hitter against Pittsburgh since leaving the Pirates following the 1992 season, made it 2-0 with his homer in the first. Bonds' drive was his 10th homer in his past 13 games and his third in 22 career at-bats against Denny Neagle, who was 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his previous five starts.

The Giants have an NL-leading 53 homers in 34 games, while the Pirates' staff has surrendered a league-high 48 in 35 games.

PHILADELPHIA -- John Smoltz (7-1) became the majors' first seven-game winner and Chipper Jones homered and drove in three runs leading the Braves to their sixth consecutive victory.

The Braves tagged Phillies starter Terry Mulholland (3-3) for eight runs and nine hits in only three-plus innings.

Javy Lopez had a career-high four hits and drove in two runs for Atlanta, which matched a season-high with 18 hits. The Braves also had 18 hits in an 11-9 victory against the Phillies on May 5, Smoltz's last start.
