Rollins, Eaton help Phillies avoid sweep

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 8, COLORADO 4</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Jimmy Rollins and Adam Eaton helped thePhiladelphia Phillies avoid their 10,000th all-time loss andhead into the All-Star break with a .500 record.


Rollins drove in the game-tying and go-ahead runs and had threehits while Eaton won his first game since June 11 as thePhillies avoided a three-game sweep with an 8-4 win over theColorado Rockies on Sunday.


Eaton (8-5) went six innings and allowed four runs, six hits andone walks with three strikeouts. After allowing four runs inthe first four innings - including two home runs - Eaton settleddown and didn't allow a hit his final three innings.

After falling behind, 3-0, in the first two innings,Philadelphia scored five times from the third through the sixthinnings to chase Rockies starter Aaron Cook (5-6) and win forjust the third time in its last 10 games.


Eaton started the comeback for the Phillies with a one-outsingle in the third. Following a single by Rollins and afielder's choice that moved him to third, Chase Utley singled tocut Colorado's lead to 3-1.


With the Phillies down a run in the fourth, Eaton sacrificed RodBarajas to second base with one out. Rollins came through withhis first RBI single that tied the game at 4-4.


Eaton again helped his cause in the sixth. After Barajas hit atwo-out single, Eaton kept the rally going with a single tocenter that gave the Phillies runners on first and second withtwo outs and another chance for Rollins.


Rollins was in the hole early with an 0-2 count and fouled offthree pitches before drawing three straight balls for a 3-2count. He lined the next pitch into center field for his secondbloop RBI single.


Kazuo Matsui got the scoring started for the Rockies when hebelted his third home run of the season in the top of the first.The Rockies increased the lead to 3-0 in the second on a RBIsingles from Troy Tulowitzki and Cory Sullivan before thePhillies began their comeback.


A 50-minute rain delay interrupted the game after the sixth, andthe Phillies helped the groundscrew place the tarp on the fieldafter a strong wind made things difficult.

Rollins drove in the game-tying and go-ahead runs and had threehits while Eaton won his first game since June 11 as thePhillies avoided a three-game sweep with an 8-4 win over theColorado Rockies on Sunday.


Eaton (8-5) went six innings and allowed four runs, six hits andone walks with three strikeouts. After allowing four runs inthe first four innings - including two home runs - Eaton settleddown and didn't allow a hit his final three innings.

After falling behind, 3-0, in the first two innings,Philadelphia scored five times from the third through the sixthinnings to chase Rockies starter Aaron Cook (5-6) and win forjust the third time in its last 10 games.


"I felt good, it was kind of a Colorado-type game," Eaton said."The last two nights we got ahead 3-0 and we let them get ahead3-0 today and came back and won. I was happy to go six inningsafter the first three innings."


"He got off slow, but did a good job of pitching," Philliesmanager Charlie Manuel said. "He did a hell of a job stayingand battling. It was a good day for him."


Eaton started the comeback for the Phillies with a one-outsingle in the third. Following a single by Rollins and afielder's choice that moved him to third, Chase Utley singled tocut Colorado's lead to 3-1.


"Eaton's a pretty good hitter, he can do some things," Manuelsaid.


With the Phillies down a run in the fourth, Eaton sacrificed RodBarajas to second base with one out. Rollins came through withhis first RBI single that tied the game at 4-4.


Eaton again helped his cause in the sixth. After Barajas hit atwo-out single, Eaton kept the rally going with a single tocenter that gave the Phillies runners on first and second withtwo outs and another chance for Rollins.


"He just left that ball up there and I found a gap," Eaton said.

Rollins was in the hole early with an 0-2 count and fouled offthree pitches before drawing three straight balls for a 3-2count. He lined the next pitch into center field for his secondbloop RBI single.


"It was nice, no other way to put it," Rollins said. "We'regoing into the break at .500. It isn't great but it's betterthan being under."


Cook tied his career high by allowing 12 base hits.

"He had way too many pitches up in the zone, especially with twoouts," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "He's creating a lotof situations that you don't want to pitch into."


Kazuo Matsui got the scoring started for the Rockies when hebelted his third home run of the season in the top of the first.The Rockies increased the lead to 3-0 in the second on a RBIsingles from Troy Tulowitzki and Cory Sullivan before thePhillies began their comeback.


A 50-minute rain delay interrupted the game after the sixth, andthe Phillies helped the groundscrew place the tarp on the fieldafter a strong wind made things difficult. Two Rockiesgroundscrew members got trapped under the weight of the tarp.

"I think everybody went out there to try to lend a hand, not doanything out of control - just to try to help them get the tarpoff those guys," Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said.
