KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Albie Lopez threw wildly to second on a grounder to the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Kansas City snapped a nine-game losing streak with a victory over Tampa Bay.
With runners on first and second and one out in a 6-6 game, Mark Quinn hit a slow roller that could have resulted in a double play. But Lopez (1-1) threw the ball low and second baseman Miguel Cairo couldn't handle it, allowing Carlos Beltran to score the winning run.
It was the fifth straight victory at home for the Royals, all in their final at-bat. But they followed the first four of those victories with the nine-game losing streak on the road.
The Royals led 6-5 heading into the ninth inning, but Greg Vaughn's home run off Dan Reichert (1-0) tied the score.
NL CAPSULES
Giants 6, Marlins 4
MIAMI - With much of the focus on a Cuban-American boycott, Armando Rios doubled in the 11th inning Tuesday night to give the San Francisco Giants their fourth straight win, 6-4 over the Florida Marlins.
Doug Mirabelli, the only Giants catcher in uniform, snapped an 0-for-18 streak with a one-out single Dan Miceli (2-1) in the 11th. He moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Rios' double. Bill Mueller added a sacrifice fly.
Mark Gardner (2-1) pitched the
final two innings for the win.
The game had eight players siting out as part of a work stoppage by Miami's Cuban-American community. They protested Elian Gonzalez's removal from the home of his relatives.
NEW YORK — Derek Bell, robbed of a home run earlier by Ken Griffey Jr., homered to spark a seventh-inning rally that gave New York its ninth straight victory.
Mets 6. Reds 5
Mets shortstop Rey Ordonez and third base coach Cookie Rojas were absent, in protest of the Elian Gonzalez case. Reds outfielder Alex Ochoa, whose parents were born in Cuba, decided to play.
Turk Wendell (2.0) got the win and Armando Benitez earned his eighth save.
Scott Sullivan (0-1) took the loss.
ATLANTA Tom Glavine pitched a three-hitter to outduel Kevin Brown and the Braves won their eighth straight.
Glavine (4-0) no-hit the Dodgers for 4-13 innings, and Quilvio Veras drove in the lone run with a two-out single in the fifth. Brown (1-1), returning from the 15-day disabled list, pitched well, but suffered his first regular-season loss to the Braves since July 13, 1996.
MONTREAL — Lee Stevens hit a three-run homer and Michael Barrett had a two-run double to lead Montreal.
Expos 10. Rockies 4
Chris Widger also homered for Montreal as Carl Pavano (3-0) allowed four runs in six innings to become the first Expos pitcher to get three wins.
Barrett hit a two-run double and pinch hitter Andy Tracy followed with an RBI single for his first major league hit as Montreal scored three runs with two outs in the sixth.
Brian Bohanon (0-2) took the loss.
Broadway, Dodds 3-14 Jan.
TRAITS, 4, FANATIC
PITTSBURGH — Adrian Brown doubled and scored the tying run in the ninth against Trevor Hoffman, then tripped and scored the winning run in the 11th.
Brown tripped down the right field line with one out in the 11th. With the infield drawn in, Warren Morris won it by lining a single into short right field off Carlos Almanzar (0-1).
Scott Sauerbuck (1-0) got the final out in the 11th for the victory as the Pirates stopped a four-game losing streak.
Cardinas 7, Brewer 2
ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire
homered for the third straight game
and Darryl Kile (4-1) won his fourth
game as St. Louis beat Milwaukee.
Cardinals 7. Brewers 2
McGwire, who missed nine games this season with a sore back, homered in the first, one out after a homer by Edgar Renteria off Brewers starter Jason Bere (2-2).
**Astros 11, Cubs 7**
HOUSTON — Moises Alou went 4-for-4 and Richard Hidalgo had three RBIs as Houston beat Chicago.
Shane Reynolds (4-0) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings as the Astros snapped a three-game skid.
Former Astro Ricky Gutierrez had threeRBIs on a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly, but struck out with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning.
Scott Downs (1-1) took the loss.

Some Marlins won't play in protest of Elian raid
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Mike Lowell has not missed a game this season for the Florida Marlins. That's about to change — because of the Elian Gonzalez case.
Lowell and several other Marlins plan to skip tonight's home game against San Francisco, honoring a call by Miami's Cuban-American community for a work stoppage to protest the way the 6-year-old boy was taken from his great-uncle's home Saturday.
The Marlins organization gave its OK for front-office workers, players and coaches to be absent with pay.
The team will close its downtown merchandise store for the day.
Lowell, the starting third baseman, leads the club with 19 RBI in 21 games. He is married to a Cuban woman and his parents are Cuban exiles.
"I think a lot of Americans and Latines feel this way. You don't have to be Cuban to support this," said Lowell, who was born in Puerto Rico. "I've got problems with them (the U.S. government) saying they're concerned with the kid's welfare, and they go in there like it's World War III."
Alex Fernandez, the winning
pitcher Monday night in a 3-1 victory against Philadelphia, will miss the game. So will pitchers Vladimir
Nunez and Michael Tejara, who's on the disabled list.
"Iagree with it 100 percent," Marlins manager John Boles said. "The skids were greased when I recommended them to do it. There are more important things in the world than our game with the San Francisco Giants. Not a lot, but this is one of them."
Fernandez (3-2) gave up seven hits
in 7-2-3 innings, his longest outing of the season.
in the only other NL game, New York heat Los Angeles 1-0.
Fernandez, who struck out three and walked two, expressed his concern for Ellan's welfare.
"I can't defend, and am very against, what they did and what they're doing," Fernandez said of the U.S. government's role in the case. "It's great that the Marlins did
this and they know what a big part of the Cuban community loves the Marlins and supports baseball."
"I wouldn't have pitched," he said.
"I'm making it a point as a Cuban American, and I'm proud to say that. You won't be seeing me here (tonight)."
Dombrowski said anyone who was passionate about the situation, would have their wishes respected.
"We have also alerted the Giants of the situation because they'll be flying into this. They also have Livan (Hernandez) and we wanted to make them aware."
BOX SCORES
Nunez will start Wednesday night against Hernandez, the hero of Florida's 1997 World Series win. Both pitchers were born in Cuba.
