07/27/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Howard finished 2-for-4 with a two-
run homer, three RBI and two runs scored as Philadelphia rallied past Arizona,
9-5, in the opener of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
Cody Ransom and Jayson Werth also each hit two-run blasts for the Phillies,
who set a season-high for consecutive wins with their sixth in a row and have
also won nine straight at home.
David Herndon (1-2) gave up two runs and coughed up a lead during the sixth
inning in relief of starter Cole Hamels but picked up his first major-league
win.
Mark Reynolds homered and drove in a pair, while Adam LaRoche and Stephen Drew
knocked in a run apiece for the Diamondbacks, who have dropped five in a row.
Jordan Norberto (0-1) took the loss after being charged with two runs and two
hits while not recording an out.
Down 4-3, Arizona struck for two in the sixth off Herndon. A double, walk and
Howard throwing error on a fielder's choice loaded the bases with nobody out
before a LaRoche sacrifice fly tied the game. Miguel Montero followed with an
RBI groundout before a Reynolds groundout ended the threat.
In the home sixth, the Phils responded when Raul Ibanez singled home Shane
Victorino before Howard's two-run blast to left-center made it 7-5.
Danys Baez offered a scoreless top of the seventh. Carlos Ruiz singled, was
sacrificed to second then scored on Ransom's long two-run shot for a four-run
difference during the Phils' turn in the seventh.
Jose Contreras and Ryan Madson locked down the win by holding the D'Backs off
the board in the eighth and ninth.
Arizona loaded the bases in the first on a single, walk and hit batter with
two outs, and went up 1-0 when Reynolds drew a base on balls.
The Phils broke through in the third. Victorino singled, stole second, but was
erased on a fielder's choice. Placido Polanco, who took first on the grounder,
went to third on an Ibanez hit and scored on Howard's single. Werth walked to
load the bases, and after a Greg Dobbs foul out, Ruiz walked to force in
Ibanez.
Reynolds tied the game with a leadoff homer in the fourth, but Hamels left the
sacks full by fanning Kelly Johnson swinging. Drew's RBI single put the
D'Backs ahead 3-2 in the fifth, but they couldn't tack on more despite loading
the bases again.
In the home half, Howard walked with one down and Werth put the Phils back on
top with a homer to dead center.
