    Scott Linebrink threw one fastball past Carlos Ruiz.

    Ruiz was ready when the next pitch came in the same location.

    Ruiz hit a pinch-hit grand slam and drove in five runs, and Roy Oswalt earned his first victory over Atlanta as the Phillies rolled to a 10-2 win over the Braves on Saturday.

    With Brian Schneider starting behind the plate, Ruiz sat out the first six innings. He still set his career high for RBIs with his slam in the seventh and run-scoring double in the eighth.

    Ruiz hit the homer on an 0-2 pitch from Linebrink.
