Phillies regain winning ways, rout Marlins

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 9, FLORIDA 1</h3>By Vince DiGregorio
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies managed tohalt their freefall for one day at least.


Greg Dobbs had an RBI triple and hit a home run while ChrisCoste and Jimmy Rollins each added a two-run blast as thePhillies defeated the Florida Marlins, 9-1, at Citizens BankPark on Saturday.


The win kept Philadelphia (74-67) six games behind first-placeNew York (80-61), as the Mets posted a victory earlier in theday. The Phillies entered the contest with just two wins intheir last seven games after their four-game sweep of the Metsat the end of August.


Clay Condrey (5-0) combined with three other Phillies relieversto notch the win.


Hanley Ramirez led off the game with his 25th home run of theseason to give the Marlins a quick 1-0 lead. Ramirez hit a 2-2pitch from Phillies starter John Ennis over the left field fencefor his seventh leadoff homer of the season and 14th career.

Florida later put runners at the corners with two outs in theframe, but right fielder Shane Victorino made a diving catch onMike Jacobs' low liner to prevent further damage.


The Phillies threatened in the second inning against Marlinsstarter Rick VandenHurk, loading the bases with two outs, butEnnis was called out on strikes as VandenHurk struck out theside.


Philadelphia got to VandenHurk (4-6) with three runs in thefourth. With a runner on first and two outs, Dobbs lined an RBItriple to deep right-center to tie the game. Coste then hitVandenHurk's next pitch into the left field seats for a two-runhome run to give the Phillies a 3-1 advantage.


Dobbs made it 4-1 in the sixth inning off reliever Harvey Garciawith a home run to right-center for his ninth of the season.

Chase Utley added an RBI single in the seventh before Rollins'two-run home run capped a four-run eighth inning that made it9-1.


Rollins hit his 26th homer, establishing a new personalseason-high.


Neither starting pitcher made it to the fifth inning.

Ennis went four innings, allowing a run on six hits with nowalks and five strikeouts. Ennis, who took the mound in thefifth but didn't record an out, was making just his second majorleague start and his first since April 10, 2002 when he waswith the Atlanta Braves.


VandenHurk lasted four innings, giving up three runs on fivehits. He walked three and struck out four. The righthander wasslightly better than in his other start against Philadelphiathis season when he surrendered six runs in 2 1/3 innings.

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies managed tohalt their freefall for at least one day.


Greg Dobbs had an RBI triple and hit a home run while ChrisCoste and Jimmy Rollins each added a two-run blast as thePhillies defeated the Florida Marlins, 9-1, at Citizens BankPark on Saturday.


The win kept Philadelphia (74-67) six games behind first-placeNew York (80-61), as the Mets posted a victory earlier in theday. The Phillies entered the contest with just two wins intheir last seven games after their four-game sweep of the Metsat the end of August.


"Days like this are special," Dobbs said. "You'd love to be ableto duplicate them. It's not always gonna be like that.Sometimes, you're gonna have to win ugly."


Clay Condrey (5-0) combined with three other Phillies relieversto notch the win.


"For us to keep it (close) and then to tack on the rest of thoseruns, I hope it's a big lift for us," Condrey said.

Hanley Ramirez led off the game with his 25th home run of theseason to give the Marlins a quick 1-0 lead. Ramirez hit a 2-2pitch from Phillies starter John Ennis over the left field fencefor his seventh leadoff homer of the season and 14th career.

"I've heard the horror stories about pitching in this ballpark,"Ennis said. "When (Ramirez) hit it, I thought it was going tobe a double. It took me a little while to regroup."

Florida later put runners at the corners with two outs in theframe, but right fielder Shane Victorino made a diving catch onMike Jacobs' low liner to prevent further damage.


"Shane making the catch was the key point for me," Ennis said."I was able to gather myself."


The Phillies threatened in the second inning against Marlinsstarter Rick VandenHurk, loading the bases with two outs, butEnnis was called out on strikes as VandenHurk struck out theside.


Philadelphia got to VandenHurk (4-6) with three runs in thefourth. With a runner on first and two outs, Dobbs lined an RBItriple to deep right-center to tie the game. Coste then hitVandenHurk's next pitch into the left field seats for a two-runhome run to give the Phillies a 3-1 advantage.


"VandenHurk got me in that first at-bat, struck me out withfastballs," Dobbs said. "So my second at-bat, I was trying tobe a little bit earlier on him and I was able to do that. Thechangeup is what I hit to right-center (for the triple)."

Dobbs made it 4-1 in the sixth inning off reliever Harvey Garciawith a home run to right-center for his ninth of the season.

"(Garcia) threw me a fastball that I liked," Dobbs said. "I wasable to get the barrel of the bat on it."


Dobbs is batting .353 (12-for-34) with eight RBI against Floridathis season.


"Dobbs had two real big hits today," Phillies manager CharlieManuel said. "Dobbs has been contributing all year. He'splaying a lot against righthanded pitchers. When the seasonstarted, he was a bat off the bench."


Chase Utley added an RBI single in the seventh before Rollins'two-run home run capped a four-run eighth inning that made it9-1.


Rollins hit his 26th homer, establishing a new personal seasonhigh.


Neither starting pitcher made it to the fifth inning.

Ennis went four innings, allowing a run on six hits with nowalks and five strikeouts. Ennis, who took the mound in thefifth but didn't record an out, was making just his second majorleague start and his first since April 10, 2002 when he waswith the Atlanta Braves.


"We just needed a win today," Ennis said. "Whatever I could do,if it was one inning or five innings, I'm just glad we got thewin today."


After Ennis gave up two singles to start the fifth, Condreyretired the side in order to escape the jam.


"Condrey picked us up," Manuel said. "Especially when we needsomeone to mop-up, but also he's responded for us in toughsituations."


VandenHurk lasted four innings, giving up three runs on fivehits. He walked three and struck out four. The righthander wasslightly better than in his other start against Philadelphiathis season when he surrendered six runs in 2 1/3 innings.

"(VandenHurk) just got some balls up," Florida manager FrediGonzalez said. "The one pitch to Coste and that was it."
