New York Mets 1, Chicago White Sox 0 (10 innings)

Matt Harvey pitched 9 innings of one-hit baseball but left without a win, as Hector Santiago and Chicago relievers also blanked the Mets through 9. That set up the dramatic 10th inning heroics, as Ike Davis drew a leadoff walk and the Mets played small ball to score the only run of the game.
Philadelphia 6, San Francisco 2
Kyle Kendrick outdueled Tim Lincecum as Chase Utley and Ryan Howard homered and the Phillies beat the Giants 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Kendrick (4-1) needed only 88 pitches to get through 7 innings, and the Phillies’ bullpen took care of the Giants from there.
Philly goes for the sweep Wednesday, as RHP Jonathan Pettibone (2-0) pitches for Philadelphia against LHP Barry Zito (3-1), who is unbeaten in four starts at home this season.
San Diego 5, Miami 1
Will Venable homered in the second and Eric Stults (3-2) pitched one-run ball into the seventh inning as the surging Padres beat the visiting Marlins 5-1 in San Diego.
The Padres roughed up starter Alex Sanabia (2-5) for four runs in the first two innings. That was enough for Stults, and the Padres bullpen pitched scoreless relief to close out the win.
