Victorino pinch-hit double pushes Phillies past Cardinals

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 5, ST LOUIS 1</h3>ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- After a couple of rain delays, leave itto the "Flyin' Hawaiian" to provide a rainbow of hope for thePhiladelphia Phillies.

Shane Victorino hit a pinch-hit three-run double in the eighthinning as the Phillies posted a 5-1 victory over the St. LouisCardinals on Sunday in a rain-soaked contest.

The game was twice delayed by rain, the first setback was a15-minute delay to start the game and the second stoppage pausedthe contest for 95 minutes.

Victorino - dubbed the "Flyin' Hawaiian" - came in to pinch hitfor Brian Sanches (1-0) with the bases loaded and two out, ropeda full-count line drive off reliever Randy Flores over theoutstretched glove of left fielder Chris Duncan to clear thebases and stake the Phillies to a 4-1 lead. The stage was setfor Victorino as Jimmy Rollins singled to center off BradThompson (5-3) to lead off the frame. After Michael Bournfouled out to the catcher, Chase Utley flied out to center.

Ryan Howard was intentionally walked to place runners on firstand second. Aaron Rowand followed last season's home runchampion with a hard-to-handle grounder down the line, but thirdbaseman Scott Rolen had difficulty in transferring the ballfrom his glove to his hand, loading the bases.

The Cardinals relieved the righthanded Thompson with lefthanderRandy Flores, turning around the switch-hitting Victorino, whose.264 average batting from the left side against lefthanders isslightly worse than his .273 average versus righthanders.Victorino sent the seventh pitch of the bat over the head ofDuncan, who had replaced starting left fielder Ryan Ludwick justan inning before.

Thompson allowed three runs over 1 2/3 innings to take the lossfor St. Louis, which fell to 1-23 in contests in which theyscored less than three runs.

Sanches walked one batter after relieving Ryan Madson at thebeginning of the sixth and pitched two scoreless innings for hisfirst major league win.

The second rain delay was long enough that Phillies starter,Cole Hamels, did not return and was replaced by Ryan Madson.The lefthander yielded one run and three hits with threestrikeouts over three innings, unable to go the necessary fiveinnings in an effort to become the first National League pitcherto reach the 10-win mark.

St. Louis starter Kip Wells had his strongest outing in over amonth, permitting one run and three hits with five strikeoutsover five frames.

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 5, ST LOUIS 1</h3>ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- After a couple of rain delays, leave itto the "Flyin' Hawaiian" to provide a rainbow of hope for thePhiladelphia Phillies.

The stage was set for Victorino as Jimmy Rollins singled tocenter off Brad Thompson (5-3) to lead off the frame. AfterMichael Bourn fouled out to the catcher, Chase Utley flied outto center.

"It's funny, usually on days off, I kind of just relax,"Victorino said. "But for some odd reason, I was down in thecage three or four times. Just swinging. I don't know if itwas a coincidence or what, but it turned out for the best. I'vebeen feeling great at the plate."

Ryan Howard was intentionally walked to place runners on firstand second. Aaron Rowand followed last season's home runchampion with a hard-to-handle grounder down the line, but thirdbaseman Scott Rolen had difficulty in transferring the ballfrom his glove to his hand, loading the bases.

"What are you going to do?", Thompson said. "I got behind insome counts. I got some guys on. It's one of those things.The ball was up. I didn't get a bunch of ground-ball outs."

Thompson allowed three runs over 1 2/3 innings to take the lossfor St. Louis, which fell to 1-23 in contests in which theyscored less than three runs.

Sanches walked one batter after relieving Ryan Madson at thebeginning of the sixth and pitched two scoreless innings for hisfirst major league win. Craig Condrey pitched a perfect eighthbefore turning it over to closer Antonio Alfonseca, who escapeda two-out, bases-loaded as he got So Taguchi to ground out intoa fielder's choice.

"They did a pretty good job," Phillies manager Charlie Manuelsaid. "Madson, Sanches, Condrey and Alfonseca finished it off.It got a little testy but he got it done."

The second rain delay was long enough that Phillies starter,Cole Hamels, did not return and was replaced by Ryan Madson. Thelefthander yielded one run and three hits with three strikeoutsover three innings, unable to go the necessary five innings inan effort to become the first National League pitcher to reachthe 10-win mark.

"Rain delays are tough," Hamels said. "With the research andcoaches' opinions and they've been through a lot, so you have togo on that. But for myself, I'd like to go out and pitch. Idon't know all of the circumstances of what can come from anhour rain delay and going back out there. I'm sure I don't wantto learn about that."

"There's been a lot of times when you have a guy rest for 40minutes to an hour during a delay and you send him back outthere and that's when he comes back sore or hurt," Manuel said."I've always done that. You're gone."

St. Louis starter Kip Wells had his strongest outing in over amonth, permitting one run and three hits with five strikeoutsover five frames.

"He threw the ball well and that's encouraging," Cardinalsmanager Tony La Russa said. "It's just an irritating loss.We're usually really good after those rain delays. We were shutout for those six innings. That's just tough to take."
