Utley homers in return, leads Phillies rout of Mets

<h3>PHILADELPHIA 9, NY METS 2</h3>By Vince DeGregorio
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- All-Star Chase Utley wasted no timemaking an impact in his return to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Utley homered and drove in two runs in his return from thedisabled list to back six-plus effective innings from rookieJ.D. Durbin as the Phillies posted a 9-2 victory over thefirst-place New York Mets on Monday.


Utley, who had been out since July 27 with a broken hand, hit asolo homer to center field off Brian Lawrence (1-2) in the fifthinning and added an RBI double in the sixth.


Jayson Werth went 4-for-4, giving him hits in nine straightat-bats for Philadelphia (68-62), which pulled within five gamesof New York (73-57) in the National League East.


With the Phillies leading, 3-2, in the fifth Utley blasted an1-0 offering from Lawrence over the center field wall. RyanHoward followed one batter later with a double, and later scoredon a double by Gregg Dobbs to put the Phillies up, 5-2.

That spelled the end of the night for Lawrence, who was taggedfor six runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings.


Utley, who was hitting .336 with 17 home runs and 82 RBI beforebeing injured, helped Philadelphia expand their lead in thesixth. He stroked a one-out RBI double to left-center thatscored Jimmy Rollins all the way from first base to make it 6-2.

That was more than enough support for Durbin (6-3), who held theMets to two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He had sixstrikeouts and did not walk a batter.


The 25-year-old righthander retired the first 12 hitters hefaced and exacted some revenge on New York, which blasted himfor six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings in his major leaguedebut on June 29.


Philadelphia, which leads the NL in runs scored, continued topile it on with two runs in the seventh as Jayson Werth singledand came around to score on a double by Chris Coste for a 7-2lead. Tadahito Iguchi, who replaced Utley when he was injured,followed with a pinch-hit two-run homer to left to cap thescoring.


Werth, who went 5-for-5 in Sunday's 14-2 win over San Diego, gotthe Phillies on the board in the first with an RBI double.

In the third, Pat Burrell, who has demolished New York pitchingto the tune of 38 home runs, blasted a two-run shot to left thatput Philadelphia up 3-0.


The Mets, who won two of three here in late June, cut thedeficit to 3-2 with two runs in the fifth inning.


After Carlos Beltran broke up Durbin's no-bit bid, Paul Lo Duca,who returned from the DL, blooped a two-out RBI single tocenter field. Shawn Green followed with a single beforeLawrence singled off the glove of Greg Dobbs at third to scoreLo Duca.
