The National League Roundup …
NEW YORK ó Johan Santana gave the Mets exactly what they needed after a 14-inning marathon used up their bullpen.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched his seventh complete game, Fernando Tatis and Ramon Castro hit two-run homers and New York pounded Kyle Lohse and the St. Louis Cardinals 9-1 on Sunday to wrap up another successful homestand.
Santana (9-7) allowed six hits and a walk in winning for just the second time since June 1, a maddening stretch during which he was tagged with four losses and four no-decisions.
Phillies 12, Braves 10
PHILADELPHIA ó Pat Burrell hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the fifth inning and the Phillies rallied for the win.
Chris Coste, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth and Jimmy Rollins also went deep for Philadelphia, which overcame a 5-0 deficit a day after coming back from a 9-3 hole.
Braves All-Star catcher Brian McCann left with a mild concussion after a collision with Victorino in the sixth.Since June 5, the Phillies are 8-1 against the Braves and 12-22 against everyone else.
