Philadelphia's Eric Milton was nearly unhittable, and Arizona's Randy Johnson was dominant for eight innings.

Neither came away with victories.

Milton threw eight hitless innings before Michael Barrett blooped a double just in front of center fielder Doug Glanville. The left-hander got a no-decision as the Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Sunday on Pat Burrell's RBI single in the ninth.

"I thought it would be trouble," Milton said of Barrett's hit. "I saw Dougie stumble there. I had a pretty good idea it would drop. I still had three outs to get. That's a tough task. I'm seeing the replay in my head."

Johnson struck out a season-high 14 in what could be his final start for Arizona. The Diamondbacks wasted a ninth-inning lead and extended their team-record losing streak to 14 with a 3-2 loss to Colorado.

Johnson allowed six hits and walked none in eight innings, keeping the Diamondbacks in the game. The Big Unit ended up not factoring in the decision as the Rockies rallied against the bullpen in the ninth inning.

"I had stuff that wasn't too bad for a 40-year-old," Johnson said.

In other NL games, it was: Montreal 6, Florida 4; St. Louis 6, San Francisco 0; San Diego 3, Los Angeles 0; Atlanta 4, New York 3; Pittsburgh 6, Cincinnati 5; and Houston 9, Milwaukee 1.

At Philadelphia, the Phillies led 2-0 when Barrett was jammed by an 0-1 fastball leading off the ninth - Milton's 98th pitch. Glanville, who replaced Ricky Ledee in the eighth, at first broke back, then charged in and just missed an attempt for a diving catch.

"I think I froze," Glanville said.

Milton struck out pinch-hitters Jose Macias and Alex Gonzalez, giving him a season-high 12 strikeouts, but Mark Grudzielanek singled and Corey Patterson doubled, tying the score and chasing Milton. Ryan Madson (7-2) relieved and retired Sammy Sosa on a grounder.

LaTroy Hawkins (2-3) walked Jim Thome leading off the bottom half and Glanville sacrificed. Burrell drove the next pitch to deep right-center.

"This game had a lot of lows, some highs at the end, and then back to lows," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said.

Chicago's Mark Prior, pitching for the first time since leaving a game July 15 because of a tender elbow, allowed two runs and five hits in six innings.

Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2

At Phoenix, Johnson lowered his ERA to 2.68 and raised his major league-leading strikeout total to 174. Johnson has 198 games with 10 or more strikeouts, 17 shy of Nolan Ryan's record.

Arizona has had preliminary talks about possible trades for Johnson, who's making $16 million this year and is due $16 million in 2005. Johnson, co-MVP of Arizona's World Series win over the Yankees in 2001, tipped his cap while receiving a standing ovation after the top of the eighth.

"I've always appreciated the fans and acknowledged them," Johnson said.

"They're aware of that," he said of the trade rumors, "and I wanted to acknowledge what they've always done for me."

Colorado's Jason Jennings (9-8) didn't allow a hit until Steve Finley singled with one out in the sixth.

Randy Choate (1-2) took the loss for Arizona, which went 0-11 on its homestand.

Expos 6, Marlins 4

At Montreal, Livan Hernandez (7-10) threw six hitless innings and came within two outs of his second straight complete game, helping the Expos to a three-game sweep.

He was perfect with two outs in the sixth, retiring the first 17 batters he faced before walking pinch-hitter Josh Willingham. He didn't allow a hit until Mike Lowell's double on the first pitch of the seventh.

Cardinals 6, Giants 0

At St. Louis, Matt Morris (11-6) threw a seven-hitter for his seventh career shutout and 15th complete game, and the Cardinals took advantage of Jerome Williams' wildness in the fifth.

The Cardinals avoided a sweep after losing the first two games of the three-game series, and beat the Giants for only the second time in seven games at home the last two seasons.

Padres 3, Dodgers 0

At Los Angeles, Adam Eaton allowed one hit in seven innings, Phil Nevin and Brian Giles homered and the Padres averted a three-game sweep.

Eaton (6-8) allowed only Alex Cora's single in the fourth to win his fourth straight road start.

Braves 4, Mets 3

At New York, fielding errors by rookies David Wright and Kaz Matsui led to three unearned runs for Atlanta, and Mike Hampton (6-8) threw six strong innings.

Astros 9, Brewers 1

At Houston, Pete Munro (2-2) pitched seven shutout innings, and Mike Lamb drove in three runs with a pair of doubles for the Astros, who have won four of their last five.
