Phillies set season highs for hits, runs in rout

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 15, LA DODGERS 3</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- After a brief two-game slumber, thePhiladelphia Phillies' bats were back in full swing.

Aaron Rowand and Shane Victorino recorded five hits apiece andRyan Howard homered twice as the Phillies rolled to a 15-3laugher over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.


Chase Utley collected three hits, three RBI and three runsscored and starter J.D. Durbin went 3-for-4 for Philadelphia,which pounded out a season-high 26 hits - one shy of the clubrecord set in 1930 and matched in 1985. Each starter in thePhillies' lineup registered at least one hit.


The 26 hits allowed tied the Dodgers' mark since moving to LosAngeles. The team yielded 27 to Cincinnati on June 8, 1940while in Brooklyn.

"Those guys at the top of their lineup were always on basetonight," Los Angeles manager Grady Little said. "The onlypositive thing is that nobody got hurt. Games like this happento every team, and tonight, we got it."


Victorino began the onslaught with a one-out single in the firstinning and scored on a double by Utley. Two batters later,Rowand notched his only hit that did not go for extra bases, asingle to center that plated Utley for a 2-0 lead.

In the fourth, Victorino delivered a two-run triple and Howardlaunched his first blast with one on, staking Philadelphia to an8-0 cushion. The reigning National League MVP completed hissecond multi-homer game of the season with a two-run shot in thefifth.


"I was ahead of Mark (Hendrickson) in my first two at-bats, soall I wanted to do was stay back a little and make adjustments,"said Howard, who hit both his homers off reliever Eric Stults."I got a couple of good pitches to handle and made goodcontact."


Rowand, who also collected three doubles, and Pat Burrell hitback-to-back homers in the seventh and the Phillies added twomore runs in the ninth to eclipse their season high of 13 set onMay 27 against the Atlanta Braves.


"It's just one of those games where everyone is stringing hitstogether and everything is falling," said Rowand, whose fivehits were a career best. "We were on the losing side lastnight, and it's definitely good to be on this end."

Burrell's blast was the 200th of his career.


The offensive clinic marked the second time in five daysPhiladelphia surpassed the 20-hit mark. On Friday, the Philliescollected 23 in a 13-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

"It was good to give J.D. runs to work with early in the game,"Howard said.


With the win, Philadelphia improved to 5-4 in its last ninegames. The club scored eight runs or more in each of thevictories, outscoring its opponents by a 54-17 margin.

Making just his second start of the season, Durbin (1-2) notchedhis first career victory, allowing one run and six hits in sixinnings. The righthander walked two and struck out three.

"It feels good to finally go out and pick up a win," said the25-year-old Durbin, who had been 0-3 in nine career major leagueappearances - including two starts. "I just had my stuffworking for me, and I just got lucky with the bat tonight. It'salways fun when I can help contribute with my bat."

"J.D. did a terrific job going out there and throwing strikes,"Utley said.


Hendrickson (4-5) was battered for seven runs and 11 hits inthree-plus frames. Stults was tagged for four runs and eighthits in three innings, while Rudy Seanez and Joe Beimel eachsurrendered two runs in one inning of work.


"Just felt like every pitch I threw was up in the zone and hithard," Hendrickson said. "I just have to put this start behindme and move on to get ready for my next start."


Jonathan Broxton was the only Los Angeles pitcher that did notallow a run despite giving up two hits in his lone inning.

The outcome could have been worse for the Dodgers, as thePhillies loaded the bases with none out in the second inningwhile already ahead, 3-0. But Hendrickson got Utley to hit intoa forceout at the plate, struck out Howard and induced a popoutby Rowand to escape unscathed.
