HOUSTON (AP) - Lance Berkman hit a tying three-run double and Jeff Kent drove in the go-ahead run in a big fifth inning, helping the Houston Astros rally to a 7-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Berkman had four RBIs and Jason Lane homered for the Astros, who came back from a 4-0 deficit to win their second in a row.

Kent had to leave after the seventh inning after jamming his right pinkie while sliding into third base in the fifth. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.

Reliever Kirk Bullinger (1-1) pitched a scoreless fifth, and Octavio Dotel allowed Randall Simon's pinch-hit double in the ninth before finishing for his 14th save.

Josh Fogg (4-6) allowed five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings in the Pirates' fourth straight loss.

Padres 3, Diamondbacks 1

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Phil Nevin hit a rare home run at Petco Park and Trevor Hoffman earned his 368th save to take sole possession of fourth place on the career list for the Padres.

It was just the fourth win in 13 games for the Padres, who were roughed up by AL East teams in interleague play.

Hoffman, who was tied with Jeff Reardon for fourth all-time, threw a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 18 chances.

Ismael Valdez (6-3) went seven innings, allowing one run and seven hit while walking three and striking out two.

Casey Fossum (1-6) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings in the loss.

Giants 3, Dodgers 2

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Cody Ransom singled up the middle with two outs in the ninth to drive in the winning run for the Giants.

After Dustan Mohr's two-out single, Guillermo Mota (3-2) walked pinch-hitter Damon Minor and Ray Durham to load the bases for Ransom, who got just his fifth RBI of the season.

''It was a lot of fun,'' Ransom said. ''It's great to get a hit and help the team out. I was just going up to the plate trying to get a pitch to hit.''

Matt Herges (4-2) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win, but blew his fifth save in the top of the ninth when Jayson Werth singled to score pinch-runner Dave Roberts from third to tie it at 2.

The Giants, who have won 12 of their last 13 at home, moved within a half-game of first-place Los Angeles in the NL West by winning the opener of the four-game series.
