MIAMI — Unbeaten Barry Zito notched another win. Brian Wilson earned a shaky save. Sergio Romo happily settled for a high-five from Zito.

The San Francisco Giants escaped bases-loaded jams in the final two innings last night to turn back the Florida Marlins, 3-2.

Zito, off to the best start in his career, improved to 5-0 in six starts. He took a 3-0 lead into the eighth inning before requiring rescue from the bullpen.

Romo, who gave up a three-run homer in the Giants' 12-inning win Tuesday, rebounded by needing only six pitches to escape a bases-loaded, none-out situation in the eighth.

When Romo reached the jubilant dugout, Zito was among those offering congratulations.

"He was happy for me, especially with what happened Tuesday night," Romo said, his voice cracking with emotion. "It's pretty hard to bounce back. It was his way of showing me, 'You're a guy we do count on.' "

Wilson gave up a run in the ninth but left runners stranded at the corners for his fifth save in six chances. The narrow escape was a welcome change for the Giants, who improved to 2-5 in one-run games.

"We couldn't have been in tougher jams," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We've lost some gut-wrenching games. You hope they even out, and now we got a couple back here."

Aaron Rowand hit his third home run of the season and his second in two nights for the Giants.

Nate Robertson (2-3) lost his third decision in a row. He allowed three runs, two earned, in 5 1/3 innings.

REDS 5, METS 4

Orlando Cabrera led off the bottom of the 10th inning with a home run just inside the left-field foul pole off Pedro Feliciano (1-1), sending Cincinnati over New York. The Reds took 2 of 3 in the series where 11 home runs were hit — all solo shots.

PHILLIES 4, CARDINALS 0

Kyle Kendrick (1-1) allowed six hits in seven innings, Placido Polanco hit a two-run homer and Maui's Shane Victorino added a solo shot to lead host Philadelphia past St. Louis. Danys Baez and Jose Contreras each tossed a perfect inning to complete the six-hitter.

Doug Davis (1-3) allowed seven hits and three runs in 5 1/3 innings to win his first game of the season, Prince Fielder keyed a four-run first inning with a two-run single and Casey McGehee had a two-run single in a five-run eighth to lead visiting Milwaukee past Los Angeles.

BLUE JAYS 5, INDIANS 4

Adam Lind hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to cap a three-run rally and lift Toronto to a three-game sweep of Cleveland. Lind homered after Cleveland shortstop Luis Valbuena's error on a grounder that could have ended the game.

YANKEES 7, ORIOLES 5

Nick Johnson and Nick Swisher homered, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run double and host New York's bullpen barely held on. The Yankees led 6-1 after seven innings, but Baltimore scored four times against five relievers, including solo homers by Matt Wieters and Nolan Reimold in the ninth.

TWINS 5, TIGERS 4

NOTES

Braves: Atlanta right-hander Jair Jurrjens, 0-3 with a 6.38 ERA in five starts, was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old Jurrjens sustained the injury April 29, when he left a start at St. Louis after only one inning.

Mariners: Seattle's main set-up reliever Mark Lowe (1-3 with a 3.48 ERA) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with an inflamed disc in his lower back. Lowe says the back problem first started in the offseason and was aggravated last Sunday when he slipped while fielding a bunt.
